Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in South Jordan

"This sophisticated-but-unstuffy sanctuary on Main Street is justifiably one of the hottest spots in town—you'll need a reservation. But if Riverhorse offers big-city style, it’s still ski town small in its laidback, welcoming demeanor. Here’s a tip: the more sedate-but-chic upstairs bar is first-come, first-served, and service is every bit as friendly."

"Located at the top of Historic Main Street, Riverhorse Provisions – the sister restaurant of Riverhorse on Main – features a gourmet menu in a relaxed grocery café setting. Choose from the Provisions Buffalo Burger, or the Provisions Wrap if you’re in the mood for something lighter. If you’re craving breakfast, you’re in luck – it’s served all day."

"Founded in 2006 by a husband and wife team, visiting High West Distillery is a great way to support Park City family restaurants. Apart from great food, you can also tour the facilities and taste a whiskey flight. There’s a location in Park City and one a little outside of Park City, in Wanship."

"High West Distillery offers the best selection of locally made spirits. Located in Wanship, UT, this distillery draws visitors from Salt Lake City and Park City. Here, you can sip on anything from bourbon to beer."

"Although the vintage Salt Lake City trolley car is the showpiece of Ruth’s Diner, the patio is the heartbeat of the Emigration Canyon restaurant, offering the best seats. “You get mountain views with a beautiful box elder tree, string lights,” said Patrick McIver, general manager. “The live music, of course, helps, and each musician brings a different atmosphere."

"The food is delicious here, and the environment is fantastic with live music on a nice summer evening outside. We had a big group but Derek did a phenomenal... (801) 582-5807Order online"

"Situated in the Gateway Center, Salt Lake City's most attractive, outdoor shopping center, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar is a stylish and elegant steakhouse, nationally recognized for their USDA Prime Beef, excellent steakhouse cuisine, and a superb wine list. Offering a unique wine list that includes something called "Fleming's 100," this restaurant has an incredible 100 wines for sale by the glass; no wonder it has received the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence 2008-2011 and Award of Unique Distinction 2009. Though the Salt Lake City Fleming's is one of a few dozen scattered around the nation, you'll find that the ambiance and service here vastly surpass that of a standard chain establishment."

"Known for its classic steakhouse fare, artfully prepared for contemporary tastes, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar is a favorite for upscale surf & aged turf. Open for dinnerDress code: CasualPhone: +1 801-355-3704"

"The energy and scene inside Butcher’s Chop House & Bar (751 Main St, 435.647.0040) are both classic steak house. Start with cocktails and share an order of Monterey Bleu Cheese Chips at the bar, where communal tables encourage mingling. Migrate to the slightly quieter dining room for a juicy steak, daily fish special, or the ever-popular Chicken-Fried Chicken. After dinner, head around the corner for an hour of mine-themed brainteasers and collaborative problem solving at the Escape Room Park City(136 Heber Ave, 435.604.0556)."

"$$$ A solid restaurant choice for steak and seafood, with a very comfortable bar. Casual enough for anyone, yet slightly sophisticated. Located at the base of Park City Mountain’s Town Lift."

"Scratch-made everything and friendly employees make Sammy’s Bistro a favorite for locals as well as Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Since I’m partial to all things that are or resemble nachos, I’d start with the Nachos Chingones. And I don’t think you could go wrong with the Coconut Shrimp."

"Sammy’s Bistro is a great spot for a quick and delicious lunch. Located just off of Prospector Avenue, the bistro serves global fares for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The bistro’s Chivito Club sandwich, inspired by a traditional Uruguayan sandwich, was featured on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives."

"To be honest I'm over the price gouging that happens in Park City. Sammy's used to be reasonable but now even the small sandwiches will cost you..."

"Visit the site of the 2002 Olympic ski jumping, bobsledding, skeleton, Nordic combined and luge events, which continues to host national competitions. There are 10m, 20m, 40m, 64m, 90m and 120m Nordic ski-jumping hills as well as a bobsled-luge run. The US Ski Team practices here year-round – in summer, the freestyle jumpers land in a bubble-filled jetted pool, and the Nordic jumpers on a hillside covered in plastic. Call for a schedule; it's free to observe."

"Note: CoffeeLab has closed, but the owner is working on his next wildly-inspired undertaking. Austin Wright is a queer photographer and writer based in Salt Lake City, but born and raised in Texas."

"Park City Mountain Resort is the Swiss Alps of Utah without all the hassle of customs. This high-alpine hotspot is always bumping with farmers markets, outdoor concerts and extreme rides in the summer, and snowboarding, skiing and hot-cocoa-sipping in winter. Because fun knows no season."

"The phenomenal Park City Mountain Resort is an absolute must-visit when in town. Spread across a staggering 17 mountain peaks are 348 runs for you to shoot down, aimed at beginners, intermediates and experts alike. Since being founded in 1963, the resort has expanded considerably."

"Though the Mormon Church is undeniably the historically and culturally dominant religion in Utah, it certainly isn't the only. This dramatic Roman Catholic cathedral, completed in 1909, was built to mimic Romanesque style on the outside and Gothic style on the inside. The structure features gargoyles, vibrant murals, finely executed wood carvings, and magnificent stained-glass windows."
