    Chef appetizer
    Jessica G.

    What a lovely evening at Maripisa. We Haag an 8;30pm searing so we enjoyed a leisurely meal as the dining area cleared out for the night. Our server Samantha was a delight who kept the meal moving without moving without rushing us. We brought our own wine ($20/bottle corkage) which helped lower our bill but don't expect an inexpensive meal! Samantha started us with a small tart from thee chef which was a fun bite to start. The shining stars of the evening were thee appetizers. The scallops with Carmel are to die for and the burrata was fresh and delicious. We each selected a different meat for our main. The only reason this meal gets 4 stars is the quality of the meat cuts. The NY was not the best cut and flavor wasn't top shelf - don't get me wrong, it was eaten it just wasn't perfect. The fries with the steak were delightful. The pasta dish with elk was interesting but missing some umami. The fresh truffles were a fun touch but didn't highlight an ny of the flavors. The short rib took the prize for best cut of meat. Tender and melt in your mouth. Of the desserts the panna cotta & cheesecake were winners. The chocolate tasting was good but not our favorite. Samantha brought us chocolates at the end of the meal that were amazing. Overall - totally recommend this restaurant. Just be aware your bill can easily be $500+ which is absolutely expected for Park City fine dining! My only wish is that each of the meats had been more on point.

    This place was phenomenal! Their 8 course tasting menu was an experience of fine dining that I didn't know I needed. The most attentive staff, the personalized menus, a romantic ambiance and the incredible food. I will be coming back here every 4 weeks to try their new tasting course because it's on rotation and I dare not miss out. Definitely worth the hype and price point.

    I agree with the folks that called this a special occasion restaurant. It's extremely pricey, and they do that stupid small plate thing where everything costs $20 and is only a few bites each. We ate here our first night in town, and really enjoyed it, but after going to Riverhorse and Mustang, it's just not even comparable for the price and the quality. You should order about 3 small plates per person, which is great if you don't want to commit to one thing. But not great for your wallet. I should say, the restaurant is lovely. So cozy, and the service is very nice. And the food is good! I had the Diver Scallop Tiradito (good, raw scallops, lots of flavor), the Buratta, Fresh Basil and Heirloom Cherry Tomato Salad (Very delicious), and the Quail Saltimbocca (small, but very good). I also tried the gnocchi, which melts in your mouth like pillows of goodness. We also had a very chocolatey dessert, which was awesome. Very good, but I'd just look around before you commit to this place.

    We had high hopes for a restaurant which boasts such high reviews, but after a lengthy 3 course meal (+dessert) I felt mildly disappointed (and still hungry). The food was excellent though small portioned, the wine pairings were delicious, and the service was at times superb and at other times unsatisfactory. I know we are at a ski resort, but it would be nice if they would seat on time for reservations and enforce their dress code. There was a large table of guys next to us who were wearing jeans and backwards ball caps.

    Amazing experience. Shelly was the best server and her support team are friendly and attentive. Wine pairing was more than worth it. Manager Jared was very professional and kind.

    Dungeness Crab, over avocado, and wasabi, and ginger sauces.

    As my sweet tooth has gained notoriety, I feel I have a great responsibility to steer you all in the right direction for your sugar cravings! haha :) I'm often asked where the best dessert I've had in my life was. Without a second thought I can quickly answer Mariposa!! Park city, and Deer Valley are like an overpriced brothel full of mediocre restaurants. In fact prior to finding Mariposa, I'd all but given up hope of having a great meal in this town. It's fitting then that Chef Clark Norris' restaurant is tucked away on the tip top of Deer Valley, way off the beaten path. You have to traverse up a long, winding, icy road via four wheel drive vehicle just to reach this Jewel. His menu centers around seafood and game, although he also offers a vegetarian tasting menu. We started with the Dungeness Crab served over top avocado, and surrounded by beautifully drizzled (alblore sashimi shaped) wasabi, and ginger sauces. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/x36Y20Vcpw2qp6YHE4fD-A?select=cKZmaVXWaKin9cYBRP32aQ The wasabi ginger sauce has an intense kick that gives the buttery salty crab, and creamy avocado an explosive flavor as it hits your tongue. My dad is an avid seafood lover, but don't mess with him on how he likes his fish cooked (well done please!) I once watched a waiter try to talk him into getting his salmon rare, it was comical he is set in his ways. I like my seafood raw to medium, opposite of dear old dad. It took a great deal of convincing on the part of the waiter that NO sablefish was not going to kill him, and yes it was going to be delicious, and yes they would cook it right. He prefers his east coast tried and true staples, such as tuna, crab, and cod. Upon the waiters recommendation we both the same thing http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/x36Y20Vcpw2qp6YHE4fD-A?select=4oiepGfM12DJBjYGIene1w (Photo by Joan M.) I can't remember what my mom ordered... Mariposas Sablefish is oh so light and flakey!!! Laid gently over Porcini mushrooms, and a juicy scallion rice cake sitting in a small pool of honey tamari ginger glaze! It's flavor can best be described as radiantly savory. My dad and I just looked at each other smiling ear to ear with each bite. Mine was medium, his was as he'd asked well done, we were in food-gasmic heaven. You know I have a sweet-tooth, what you don't know is it comes from my dear old dad, not my mom! His sweet tooth is not as broad and far reaching as mine. However put him in front of a truck full of flour-less chocolate cake or dense chocolate mouse, and he will turn into a rabid chocolate eating monster! We were unoriginal and ordered the same dessert letting out manly moans, as we thought about the rich flavor that would soon be sending us to chocolate bliss. My mom sighed and went for the Banana Brûlée Tart praline rum ice cream, nutella truffle! But hey!!! Like father like son right! ENTER wait for it.............The BEST DESSERT of my life! Yes I said BEST. Take a look at this picture http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/x36Y20Vcpw2qp6YHE4fD-A?select=1qqRZJtr9fDyjK7DVatG0w and Joan M's PIc http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/x36Y20Vcpw2qp6YHE4fD-A?select=VrukOEaAAAxs8ZEjzaQHxw It's a Chocolate Snowball, and it's oh so bitter, and sweet, and creamy, and dense, and delicious. Words can not describe how freaking badass this dessert is! If I had to die with one bite in my mouth I would choose a spoonful of Mariposas Chocolate Snowball. My mom's Nuttela Truffle was almost as good but the chocolate snowball mmmmmmaahhhhhh~mmmmm! Plan on paying about 80-120 PP at Mariposa for 3 courses without wine, but you will love every single bite that enters your mouth. The only downside to Mariposa is they are only open during ski season.

    Bison!

    Come here if you: -Are a gourmand -Like warm ambiance -Eat game meat -Appreciate impeccable service -Are from California and yearning for seared foie gras Speaking of foie gras, it came sizzling hot with sauteed apples on brioche. The last bite was devastating as it wasn't nearly enough to tide me over until my next trip out of California. Luckily, I was able to get another taste with my exquisite bison filet, which came with a small piece of foie on top. Other noteworthy dishes: Pan-roasted Sea Scallop and Caramelized Onion and Gruyére Tart.

    Sablefish Mariposa (honey tamari glaze, fresh ginger sauce, shiitake mushroom~scallion rice cake)

    #300 Review There is no doubt that the Mariposa is the best restaurant in/near Park City. This adorable two-level cabin style restaurant was #1 on my restaurant list. I am really surprised that no one has reviewed Mariposa as it has the highest Zagat rating in the area... Making reservation was a little tough as you are required to give out your credit card info and if you flaked or didn't cancel within 48 hours, you'll be charged $50/person (yikes!)...and the restaurant is only open from Tuesday - Sundays from 5:45p-9pm during ski season. After a long week of dealing with bitches and assholes, I treated myself to dinner at the Mariposa right before watching an 8pm flick. I made reservation for 2 the same day and luckily they didn't charge me $50 when my colleague couldn't make it. The restaurant was tricky to find in the pitch black night (it gets pretty dark at 6pm). Once you passed the driveway to the Stein Ericksen Lodge, there's a parking lot to your right for the Silver Lake Lodge; I'm pretty sure parking is gratis (I didn't get a ticket but someone did hit me. If you're renting a car, always get full coverage). You will see a stupid map (only lists what stores are there but doesn't tell you WHERE the stores are...) to the right in front of the "strip mall" and basically the Mariposa is straight down. When you enter the restaurant, you are automatically greeted by (3) soft-spoken polite people, and to your right, a gentleman offers to take your coat. I waited for 7 minutes as they re-set my table for one...hmm...at least I was sitting in front a nice warm fire. As the hostess guided me to my table, I noticed all the empty tables, wondering why Mariposa told me that they were fully booked for the evening...they seated me at a four-top table but removed the (2) chairs in front of me...as to scream to everyone that I was dining by myself...er, they should really just leave the chairs there with no place settings. I started with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc (good, had a sparkling taste...) for $8. Their wine's price list is reasonable. The chef's complimentary amuse bouche was Tuna Tartar (very good & very tiny) (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/x36Y20Vcpw2qp6YHE4fD-A?select=6QuAEGCI6IhxPBeD4RXE9w). I went for the Warm Vidalia Onion crusted Goat Cheese & Roasted Baby Beet Salad (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/x36Y20Vcpw2qp6YHE4fD-A?select=OhD-NizVZNQkBZMuF_yNZg) as my appetizer for $15. It was delicious; I really liked the crusted Goat Cheese. The portion is very small or perfect -- slightly bigger than my fist. I was starting to think that the restaurant was not as expensive as I had thought, but oh wait! The entrée prices are from $37 to $49! Yeah...that's where it hurts...I really wanted to try the Seared Natural Bison Filets but didn't -not because it costs $49, but it came with Foie Gras and Yam -yuck. My waitress, Stephanie recommended the Sablefish Mariposa (honey tamari glaze, fresh ginger sauce, shiitake mushroom~scallion rice cake) (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/x36Y20Vcpw2qp6YHE4fD-A?select=4oiepGfM12DJBjYGIene1w) and WOW, the fish just melts in your mouth and I loved the rice cake with shiitake mushroom. Luckily, the ginger in the sauce wasn't over powering. Like the Beet Salad, the portion is small, but at least it allowed me to have room for dessert. Lastly, I finished my meal with the $9 Yummalicious Chocolate Snowball (a dense, bittersweet chocolate cake with whipped cream) and a cup of coffee ($3.50, not the ridiculous $9 Glitretind coffee): http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/x36Y20Vcpw2qp6YHE4fD-A?select=VrukOEaAAAxs8ZEjzaQHxw How cute! If I had to pick on something, it would be that they didn't wipe the breadcrumbs off the table after the main course. Despite the breadcrumbs, service was excellent. Oh and like I said they shouldn't make it so obvious when people are dining alone. My meal came out to almost $100 including tips, and had I more time I would have definitely opted for their tasting menus-- prices start off around $75. Mariposa is a must!

    My birthday dessert from the Mariposa!

    Genuinely the worst service I've ever experienced at a restaurant…read more Let me start with the fact that I've only ever left 5 star reviews at restaurants because of great service. I work in the restaurant industry, so I really appreciate good service and I always tip well, and I take reviews seriously. We confirmed ahead of time that Sammy's could seat our party of ten -- they said "just come." On top of that, their Google profile said they were animal friendly, so I assumed my service animal would be well received. When we arrived with most of our group and the rest just minutes away, we were immediately seated. But then things fell apart. After being seated, we were told we shouldn't have been seated until our full party arrived -- despite the staff being the ones who seated us. When we asked if Emilia wanted us to stand back up and wait in the lobby, she said no, don't worry about it. Yet we felt like a burden the entire meal. The staff seemed frustrated with us rather than accommodating. To make matters worse, my chicken parm -- which they tout as their most famous dish -- arrived cold and watery. I ended up replacing it with the kids' chicken nuggets, which ironically tasted far better. The biggest issue was our server, Emilia. She repeatedly shamed me for having my service animal -- a trained epilepsy detection dog who was quiet, well-behaved, and doing exactly what he's trained to do: staying by my side. I was stunned and humiliated. On top of all that, they refused to split the check for a party of ten -- a completely standard request. When I asked to speak with a manager, Emilia said they weren't available and that she would be talking to them about my service animal. Management, please reach out if you want to make this right. I felt singled out and humiliated. I won't be back, and I'd encourage anyone with a service animal to think twice before dining here.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
