    We normally just grab a quick bite (bar etc. ) on the lift, but this time we've decided to sample a bit of hot food. The fries was very generously portioned. Avoid the crowds and come in off hours as it can be quite crowded with the fire place in side.

    You think your boards are old? Check it out!

    Even a relative beginner is able to ski over to Alf's for lunch on the side of a mountain. The view of High Rustler is awesome. You can eat out on the deck if it's sunny, or wade like a penguin on a beach to find a table. Even though the place is really crowded at lunch, I've never had to wait long to find a table. Lots of people just want to be there long enough to refuel, and then get back out onto the snow. Go ahead and complain about ski resort prices. Hubby and I get a cheeseburger, load it up with lettuce, onion and tomato, then slice it in half. If we eat too much we're too sleepy to be sharp on our skis, so that's what works best for us. Over the years I have noticed that the mini ski shop in the corner has gotten bigger and bigger. More and more stuff. Great if you have an equipment malfunction and can't wait to get back to Albion base to search for a replacement. Alf's is in a really convenient location, close to lifts and on the return trip home from up the mountain. You can ski down to the Sugarloaf Lift or hike a little way up the hill to the Cecret Lift, which gets you over to Supreme. My favorite place to have lunch when I'm skiing at Alta Ski Resort.

    Enjoying the snowy view

    The best part of this restaurant is the view off the small patio…read more We made reservations online at a cost of $12 for each person which I thought was strange. On the website it says the $12 will go towards your meal. When we arrived, we checked in at the hostess booth, which was just outside the door. When we walked into the dinning room we noticed there was NO ONE seated at any of the tables. We were seated clear in the back by the server's station looking into the kitchen. (I noticed they use box wine) Why she sat us clear in the back on a tiny table for four people is beyond us. (There were six of us.) Finally, we had to ask her to put two tables together so that we could all have room to eat. I ordered a mimosa with orange juice. We asked if the orange juice was freshly squeezed and she said no it wasn't. It tasted just ok, the sparkling wine they used was Not champagne for sure, and it tasted as such. We tried to order the grilled asparagus and the Japanese soufflé pancakes, both were not available. I ordered the Sunrise Baguettes for our appetizer and the Citrus Cognac Pain Perdu, and For the Groms for the main entre. The waitress didn't bring out the "Warm bun Basket" as indicated on the menu, but some Rock Hard OLD cinnamon buns with rock hard icing! I tried to put my fork into one and my fork wouldn't go in.... literally. Mind you these small buns were just sitting on the counter waiting for the flies to land on them, no covering, no wonder they were rock hard and old. The palette cleanser came out next which was the best food item of the morning. However, they used some bottom shelf balsamic vinegar which was bitter. Then came our brunch items. What shock when we saw how small the French toast was, just two small burnt end pieces of a baguette. The menu said it came with maple syrup, none was brought to our table. For my order the food was cold and old. It looked and tasted like it was from a few days ago, and they just heated it up in the oven or microwave. The hashbrowns were so greasy, and not fresh at all, the same for the scrambled eggs. Usually when I've had scrambled eggs they are light and fluffy and warm, not here! The waitress came over and said "I forgot to put in the order for the Sunrise Baguettes, I will do that now and not charge you for them." Uhhh ok. They never did show up, and the good thing is she didn't charge us for them. When the "included dessert" came out, we all had to share, we didn't get our own dessert. I took one bite and couldn't eat it. I'm not a fan of yogurt. I didn't eat it, so my partner got to eat it all. Why didn't we get our own dessert, these were too tiny to really share? Last by not least, the waitress didn't apply the money from the reservation to the bill. We didn't notice until we walked outside. When we brought it up to the waitress she said "No, that is to make a reservation." We asked to talk to a manager, and she said there wasn't one around and she would have the manager call us. What no manager on duty! I don't recommend eating here, but if you do, just go as a walk in, there is plenty of seating (we had the whole dining room to ourselves) and bypass the $12 to register that won't get taken off your bill.

    It's a great place to grab a beer after a great day .

We met our guide Pam in the village at Solitude where she welcomed us and outfitted us with snowshoes and headlamps for the slightly moderate hike up the mountain to the Yurt. It was so refreshing to hike through the trees and the snow to our dining adventure. Once inside the Yurt chef Andy introduced himself and welcomed us with a glass of bubbles and explained our dining experience for this evening and the menu that he had planned. He was conscious to ask about any dietary restrictions or allergies. The majority of the menu is locally sourced and includes lots of farm to table elements. We started with a plate of fresh breads and cheeses from Beehive Creamery. Next we were served a fresh mixed green salad with a vinaigrette dressing. Then the soup was a potato leek soup with bacon which was so warm and comforting. The main course was a NY Strip Steak in a special cut served atop pureed cauliflower and asparagus. The flavor was amazing. To wrap up our meal we enjoyed some salted caramel ice cream. The only thing that was lacking is the beverage menu. Only water is offered as a beverage. There is a wine and beer list available with options by the glass or the bottle and all at moderate prices which is expected at a resort. They do permit you to bring your own bottle with a modest $35 corkage fee. With this experience being so magical and modestly priced it would be nice to have a few other beverage options "included" in the cost of the dinner. This is an entire dining experience with the snowshoe hike up the mountain, a chef curated meal inside the Yurt and the opportunity for communal dinning with some new folks. The prices for this meal are really the price for the experience. We were celebrating my birthday and what an amazing way to celebrate.

As expected, the steak was excellent and cooked to a perfect medium rare as ordered. Served with fries, this dish was substantive enough to share between the two of us as a light meal. Unfortunately, our request for no red onion was either not conveyed by our server or disregarded by the kitchen - not a big deal in and of itself but I was a bit surprised when our server made no attempt to rectify the error beyond simply saying "sorry." I ended up having to pick the onions off, so am docking a star for that!

They were all sooo good, and I think my favorite was the saloon burger. We split the pretzel and the artichoke jalapeño dip for the table, and both were DELICIOUS. I was so impressed - the cheese sauce was amazing and the dip was sooo good with the pita. I am dreaming about it still!! The Bloody Mary was great and we really enjoyed just hanging out inside while it rained. It was pretty crowded which made getting in and out of the table kind of tough, and the backs of the chairs are no joke - they are absolutely straight metal plates, and they were pretty uncomfy (maybe a pillow would help?) but that definitely didn't take away from the charm or the food!!

    This wasn't a great experience for me…read more The first thing that struck me was the ID check at the door. I pulled up my Colorado digital ID, and the employee seemed completely thrown by it and insisted on seeing my physical license. I understand businesses have policies, but the interaction felt unnecessarily awkward. I'm in my mid-40s, don't even drink alcohol, and still felt like I was being treated as if I were trying to sneak into a bar. It just set an odd tone from the start. I didn't choose the restaurant, but as someone with celiac disease, this was an even bigger issue. I let the staff know up front that I have celiac disease and need to avoid gluten. I ordered a bunless burger and skipped the fries since they don't have a dedicated fryer. I ordered a side salad instead, only to find out almost all of the dressings contained gluten, so I went with the vinaigrette. The burger itself was overcooked and honestly pretty underwhelming. The worst part came at the end of my meal. I took a bite of my salad and felt a crunch. There was a crouton mixed in. I had to spit it into my napkin in front of my coworkers, but by then I'd already chewed it and had crumbs throughout my mouth. For someone with celiac disease, this isn't just an inconvenience. If I'd never mentioned it, that would be one thing. But after telling the staff up front, there should never have been a crouton on that salad. That's beyond normal cross contamination. It was simply careless, and unfortunately it overshadowed the entire experience.
