The 3 mushroom pizza was really good!!
Karen L.

We needed lunch and I really didn't want to eat cafeteria food. I headed upstairs to the Saloon and found a table that wasn't in the solarium area under the blazing hot sun. I guess this review is strictly for the Saloon on the second floor. Everyone around me ordered pizza so I did too. The bartender suggested the mushroom medley and so I went ahead with that. For $24, we had a huge 8 slice pizza. It was one of the best vegetarian pizzas I've ever tasted! Tomato sauce, mozzarella, shiitake, cremini, and oyster mushrooms, caramelized red onions, roasted garlic, and tomatoes. And a twisty crust! They do not skimp on toppings here, my friends! I highly recommend the pizza!! Lots of beers to choose from as well! Great lunch spot if you can break away from the slopes!

Opened to the public in 1962, the Goldminer's Daughter at the base of Alta also know as the "GMD", features a Ski Shop, Day Spa, Saloon, Cafe, Restaurant and Lodge. GMD is just steps from the base of Alta Ski Area's Collins and Wildcat lifts and ticket windows. The Goldminer's Daughter opened to the public in 1962.This review is for the Saloon and Cafe. As a lifelong Skier and an Alta-Holic with 20+ years at this resort, the GMD is where I fuel up with breakfast before a day on the slopes, boot up, and grab beers and bar snacks after the lifts close. Downstairs in the cafe, you can grab a cooked to order breakfast of eggs, potatoes,breakfast meat and toast for around $10 from 7 am to 10:30 am. There are plenty of tables to eat your breakfast and boot up and they have small to large lockers available starting at .50 cents to lock your gear up before you head out to the slopes. The cafe also serves up lunch, including soups, salads, sandwiches and burgers from 11 am to 3 pm. After skiing, get out of your ski boots and head upstairs to the Goldminer's Saloon for a few cold beers and bar snacks. The Nachos are a great choice to share with your ski friends while you swap stories about your day in the Utah Powdah! They feature local craft beers on tap from the SLC area served by the Pint or Pitcher. In the spring, grab a cold beer outside on the deck at Slope Side Joe's, order up a burger from the outdoor grill and kick back in the sun and enjoy the music. Step back in history and enjoy your visit to The Goldminer's Daughter, don't forget to grab some souvenirs or ski supplies in the ski shop while your there.

Not impressed. The service was ok ("everything on the menu is good" line). The food was frankly…read moremediocre. The crab cakes were not great, the salmon was very undercooked, the rice was strange and terrible tasting, and the steak was just ok. Better than fast food, but certainly not worth the prices or what other people are saying. Very overrated. Also, the flatware was all different and one of them was from Amazon Basics! They do have coat racks and slippers, which is cool.

There is an elevator, in case your legs are weary from too many miles on the mountain. I was a little bit concerned that they might not have anything that would fit into my very restrictive diet. Turns out I was totally wrong to worry. Reservations are recommended. It's not the usual ski resort cafeteria. It's a classy sit-down place. You can even take off your ski boots and change into slippers. Made me feel pampered, like I was at a health spa or something. I was able to get some vegan carrot soup, which meant that it had been thickened with coconut cream instead of gluten-rich roux. Score! I didn't think I had the appetite to eat an entire salad, so I scanned the menu and decided that a plain chicken breast would be my protein for the meal. The rest of our group had sandwiches, salads and pasta. The menu seems to be mainly American/European, with very nice vegetarian and vegan options. I'd welcome a chance to go back there any time. It certainly wasn't a quick lunch, but it gave us all a chance to rest well before we headed back out into the whiteout conditions to conquer some waist-high moguls for the rest of the afternoon.

Absolutely excellent weeknight dinner. They were busy, but we didn't have to wait, and they…read morecontinued to fill up almost to capacity. For appetizers, the roasted cauliflower and Caesar salad were very flavorful and delicious, and sized to share among four of us. Although we considered several entrees, we all selected the king salmon and it was wonderful. Served with orzo, a pea puree, and tempura asparagus, we all loved it. Couldn't resist dessert: the homemade Vietnamese coffee ice cream and the olive oil cake plus a latte. All wonderful. The only downsides were: the noise level; the space is small and we almost couldn't hear our table conversation as the dining area filled up, and the fact that they temporarily have no liquor license (in June 2026), so no wine or adult beverages were available. Another reason to go back, though! We're looking forward to trying their brunch, too.

However, additional details create a loving connection - its off-Broadway central location, the copper-paneled ceiling that mimics warm conversations in varied spaces (cocktail, chef's counter, expandable tables for groups, and outdoor), fresh, locally-sourced ingredients with service to match. It's the place where I had my first glass of Turley Zinfandel (education alongside), and the place I will always return for my favorite Wagyu Beef Stroganoff (a comfort from home, but upscale). This one delivered with large, firm, expertly seasoned portobello & forest mushrooms over wide, freshly handmade pappardelle pasta that soaks up rich beef stock (a touch of black pepper) blended with crème fraîche. A generous portion of wagyu is tender and rich. PRO TIP: Mix then let it sit & marinade a minute - flavor pays in dividends. For dessert, a Valhrona Chocolate Pudding topped with whip cream and Maldon flake salt - exquisite, but expensive. The texture is comforting and delicious - olive oil adds a lingering finish with slight fruit.

But wow, this dish was out of this world. Braised lamb is then crisped on a grill, served over a bed of roasted vegetables with a crème sauce. One of the best things I've ever eaten. Also ordered the sourdough, again so good - crunchy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. Started with a martini (they have my favorite - Belvedere, A+ for that) which was perfect, and a glass of wine which I enjoyed. For dessert we loved the Olive oil cake.

I love that the feature local and seasonal ingredients and really showed off their scratch made capabilities by creating a unique dish on the fly. My favorite item was the mushroom toast!

Great start. The menu is small but filled with a wonderful assortment or mouth-watering options. It was incredibly hard to narrow down what I wanted. I asked the server for some help choosing and was expertly guided to what my stomach desired. I ordered the pub burger (patty, pepper jack cheese, bacon jam, crispy onions and lemon pepper aioli) with fries. Hubby had the fish and chips. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time (20 minutes or so) and was visually stunning. My first bite of the pub burger was a melody of crunch from the onions, juicy juice from the nicely seasoned burger patty and a hint of bacon. I was worried about how the combo of a lemon pepper aioli and bacon jam would complement each other, but everything sang. My husband's fish and chips were perfectly cooked with flakey, golden filets. The fries were nicely cooked and seasoned. Great tartar sauce, fry sauce and ranch dressing! Only downsides - there is no sound proofing. Two guest tables on either side of us had no desire to use their "inside voices". Not only was it annoying to listen to every detail of what they were talking about, but their voices reverberated, leaving my entire party to just nod at each other. I had hoped staff would have asked those groups to keep the volume down just a little bit. Since this is like a garage motif, the open ceilings help the echo. My friends were also put off by the garage rags being used instead of standard napkins. I didn't mind but it was a less soft alternative to the standard napkin fare. I loved the garage style; a dark, moody and rough-around-the-edges casual feel. I wouldn't mind trying other menu options.

Set in an older garage building, the inside fashion is vintage circus paraphernalia, both big and small. The eyes can wander a bit. The food menu has good variety and items purchased were tasty.

The service was pleasant and efficient--and a bonus -- the bathrooms were exceptionally clean. I would highly recommend and wouldn't mind coming back if we were ever in these parts again.

They make it very easy to pay rent through Zelle. I loved that they allowed us to have privacy and did not bother us unless we needed them, this allowed us to feel as though it was our home. When we needed to move they Let us go month to month and did not charge us extra to do so, we only moved because my work relocated me to California otherwise I would have rented from them until my kids finished school. If I ever relocate back to Utah they will be my first call. When we moved out we cleaned the home and made the repairs we needed to and all they charged us was the non refundable (which they discounted and did not have to) and the lease agreed carpet cleaning. Best experience and they became friends to us. I recommend using them to my family, friends, and anyone looking for loyal and responsive landlords.

They were also not what the rental agreement would consider to be "damages", but instead normal wear and tear.

This rental company has a history of shaking down its tenants, so expect some unexpected charges and prepare to defend yourself.
