An artful taste
Heber Valley event combines good food and good art
For instance, at Snake Creek Grill, you can get a salad, pork scallopini or risotto shrimp, and a dessert from the menu for $25. The restaurants vary from fine dining to casual to suit a variety of tastes. In the case of the Dairy Keen, $25 will buy you a family dinner for four.
"For a county of only 20,000 people, many visitors are pleasantly surprised by the number of top restaurants and artists in our community," said Jennifer Kohler, Heber Valley Chamber of Commerce director. "It's a great thing for the artists because there's not a lot of opportunity for them to show their work in town. This year we're adding the menu specials to get more people to go into the restaurants and try the food."
Both Simon's and the Blue Boar Inn received an AAA Four Diamond rating for 2005, joining only a handful of other Utah restaurants (Goldener Hirsch and The Glitretind in Deer Valley; Sundance Resort; and La Caille, Log Haven and Metropolitan in Salt Lake City). To merit the rating, inspectors conduct unannounced evaluations of the restaurant's cleanliness, safety, ambiance, amenities and service.
Snake Creek Grill regularly takes top honors from Salt Lake Magazine's dining awards and Citysearch.com.
The inns in Midway Blue Boar, Inn on the Creek and Simon's at the Homestead get their share of couples on romantic getaways, golfers from the area's four golf courses, and businesspeople attending corporate retreats. But the chefs say they want to feed more locals and to be considered a dining destination for people from the Wasatch Front or Park City.
The Blue Boar Inn oozes Old World charm. The "pub" room, called Truffle Hollow, sports 150-year-old tables decked with fresh flowers in steins. The wooden bar was made from a 16th century steamer trunk, said innkeeper Sandy Niederhauser. Carved wooden boars flank the fireplace.
