Deer Valley Café — Restaurant in Park City

They say location makes everything and this spot has the best of locations. It has been one of my favorite secret gems in Utah and try to make it up there a few times in the year. Great food, great view and just a small little place where you can get away from the worries of the world.

So why the 3 stars. Honestly, I am struggling between 3 stars and 4 stars because this place is 5 stars hands down but I think this pandemic has gotten little out of hand up there in a sense of their atmosphere and approach to COVID. I don't know if it is hotel's policy they have to follow or they are just being overly cautious but they have taken away dishes and coffee cups and everything. When you order, everything it is handed to you in a to go bag but everything is also the same price from pre-pandemic days. This the first restaurant I've been to that is doing this.

This really, I feel, takes away from the atmosphere. I ordered lox's plate, it is one of my favorite dishes and I go to this place because they do it the best, I feel, in Utah. I was really disappointed when they handed me a to- go container and I found out I had to build the dish myself. On top of that, we asked for water and they said we had to buy bottled water, the over priced hotel bottled water, like 3-4 bucks. That I was really surprised by as no other restaurant I have been to does this.

While I know ingredients are not cheap, the labor of serving the dish and the experience the dish brings to the consumer should take part in the price. The the lox's and bagels were 17 - 18 dollar, the same price pre-pandemic, and I am handed a to-go container where I basically have to make it myself. That in my book is a unacceptable. Either don't serve it or lower the price because you are lowering the experience and atmosphere of the consumer. We come to a restaurant for the experience, if I wanted to make my own lox's and bagels, I could have done that at home for a much cheaper price. I am totally understanding of the pandemic and am not saying they should lighten up their restrictions but they are hurting the atmosphere that they've created with this restaurant. I drive 30 - 40 minutes out of my way for that atmosphere. If they are going to lower the expectations of that atmosphere/ customer experience, they should lower their prices otherwise they may lose more customers than they want during this pandemic.

I will definitely be back, this place is still amazing but unless they lower their prices, I will most likely come back after this...

A Charming Brunch Destination

Situated on the picturesque Deer Valley ponds, the Deer Valley Cafe offers a serene and inviting atmosphere that makes it an ideal spot for brunch. The beautiful views of the water and surrounding nature create a perfect backdrop for a relaxing meal.

For breakfast, my go-to dish is the Wasatch Egg Sammie. This delightful creation features perfectly cooked eggs nestled between a fresh, toasted bun, complemented by savory toppings that elevate the flavor profile. Each bite is a satisfying combination of textures and tastes, making it a standout choice.

When lunchtime rolls around, the Turkey Apricot Panini steals the show. The blend of tender turkey and sweet apricot spread, pressed to perfection, results in a sandwich that is both hearty and refreshing. The panini is grilled just right, giving it a delightful crunch while keeping the ingredients inside warm and flavorful.

The service at the cafe is friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you’re enjoying a leisurely brunch or a quick lunch, the Deer Valley Cafe delivers fantastic food in a stunning setting.

In summary, the Deer Valley Cafe is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a meal surrounded by natural beauty. With its delicious offerings like the Wasatch Egg Sammie and Turkey Apricot Panini, it’s a charming spot that captures the essence of a perfect...

I've gotten coffee from here many times, and enjoyed a fancy grilled cheese on occasion. Which was good... I liked the combination of brie and apple, but for the price($15) it was just ok. What bothered me greatly on my last visit is their new policy due to Covid. I asked for water and was turned down, told that due to shortages, they are only selling Dasani bottles. Coming from a company like Deer Valley, known for its complimentary and exceptional service, I was highly disappointed. After being treated so poorly with a very weak explanation, I think I will be travelling into town for...
