Spotted Dog - passionfruit bellini and high desert breeze cocktails - American Near Me - Springdale, Utah

Nice place inside with plenty of seating. Hostess service was very slow and we waited in line just to talk to her for a while. Rest of service went pretty smoothly. The food was average. The hummus plate was too small of a portion especially for the amount of vegetables/pita they give you. The New York strip was overly fatty. I don't mind some fat on my steak but this was excessive. read more

This was by far the best place we ate at! All their ingredients are fresh, our waitress was wonderful and so sweet! If you come to Zion you definitely need to eat here!! The ambiance is very nice and comfortable read more

Super friendly service. Ordered to go and the phone and pickup the lady was really nice and helpful. Brie and orange abd cherry chutney with granny Smith apples was yummy. My husband ordered lamb shank not on current menu but it was ok .. wasn't juicy and most likely just cooked in the oven rather then in a stew. It was not tender or flavorful I like my ahi steak but the quality of ahi was cheap. It was seared perfectly the avo mango salsa gave good acidity as with cheap ahi there isn't much flavor. The Caesar salad was good with the added large shrimp The saving grace was the lava cake with French vanilla icecl cream. read more

If you're in Springdale, do yourself a favor and head to Spotted Dog. This was easily the best dinner I had all month. I came here for a birthday dinner two weeks back after a thrilling day of hiking the Narrows and was thoroughly impressed. The duck breast I ordered was beautifully cooked and perfectly topped with a prickly pear gastrique. My party's dishes were all wonderful, too. I was especially impressed with the fact that the wild game meatloaf was not gamey at all. When we ordered dessert, we were so impressed that our wonderful server remembered that it was my birthday. My friend had only mentioned it in passing, and not fully directed to her, when we asked for a table! The creme brulee was delectable -- with the perfect spoon crack and burst of vanilla flavor -- while the lava cake was super rich, which made the side of berries nice. Couldn't have asked for a better mountain view either. Plus, while reservations were all booked, we got a seat as soon as we walked in around 7 p.m. during the summer season. Thank you Spotted Dog for capping off a day to remember! read more

This place was very accommodating to my fiancés extreme allergies to gluten, dairy and more. They were able to make him a steak with a side of potatoes and said they make everything to order. His steak was slightly more done than he ordered but we were just grateful we could find a place for him or eat in the park! Service was very good. I ordered the pesto pasta and thought it was decent. It was a little too light for my liking as I think of pasta as comfort food, but still good. Outdoor seating is a must if the weather permits! read more

Great service, had no reservation on a Thursday night with 5 and was able to get in right away. Ordered large mushroom appetizer, delicious selection of mushrooms and flavor. Ribeye was cooked as asked, ahi tuna was delicious with the mango puree and risotto, purses were sweet but tasty, especially with the slivered almonds and scallions. Overall, probably a top 3 option while in Zion for higher end food. read more

This is a great dinner spot in Springdale, not only because of the beautiful view of the mountains in the outdoor seating, but also the affordable entrees made with local and seasonal ingredients. Overall, I thought the food was good for being near Zion, since amazing restaurants are not always expected near National Parks. Artichoke Dip w/ Pita Chips (seasonal appetizer): This dip was so creamy and delicious and I actually enjoyed the pita chips more than I expected. Red Trout: The fish was pepita encrusted and I loved the texture of the dish. The red trout tasted very similar to salmon to me, which may have been because of the color. I didn't really like how it paired with the rice, since it made the overall dish dry, but I thought the fish was great. Wild Game Meatloaf: Tasted like a typical meatloaf, but we were super intrigued that it had elk, buffalo, and beef. This wasn't dry at all because of the gravy like sauce and the fingerlings were nicely cooked too. read more

From Louisiana so I know good food...great dinner! We enjoyed eating on the patio with Laura as our server! She was great!

Great food, great service, all around great dinner with the family. Extensive wine list, must buy by the glass or half bottle. Our group also tried a pitcher of beer which had only positive reviews. Food-wise we enjoyed the brie & bread appetizer and the table LOVED the tomato/red wine sauce that came out with the extra bread we ordered. read more

If you're looking for food near Zion, this place will not disappoint. The food is excellent and worth the price of admission. It's pricey, but worth it if you're looking for good eats. The service was great even though they were busy. Our waitress, Jamie, was cordial and attentive. Highly recommend the Brie appetizer and the roasted chicken. The chicken was perfectly cooked and so flavorful. read more

We came to The Spotted Dog restaurant for dinner on a Sunday night while visiting Zion. We were able to get seats immediately and chose outdoor seating. Both indoor and outdoor seating was available at the time we visited. The service was friendly and welcoming. My husband got the short rib, while I had the elk and bison meatloaf. I don't eat meatloaf very often, so this was a pleasant change, and I thought the meat went great with the sweet sauce. My husband liked his short rib, although I thought the quality was just good rather than amazing. The food was probably the best that we had in Zion and I would recommend this place if you are in town. read more

Both ordered lamb shanks and enjoyed it. Service and ambience were good. We made a reservation but didn't need one.

farm, garden to table. AAamzing! Delish! Every veggie, fish, dressings, cheese all homemade, local and crazy flavors and yummy. Appetizers! The smoke on the salmon perfect, you could tell that all veggies were grown in there. Juicy, crunchy and flavorful. Dressing for salads was light, flavorful, different and complimented the salads. Fresh homemade breads. Butters and cheeses made locally. Meals! Don't know where you can get red trout but I know where i come a get now. Spotted dog cafe. So delicious. Deserts all made in house or local. Fresh vanilla bean for ice cream and yummy chocolate cake. The had a nice selection of wines and the cocktails were tasting along with some costly specialty bourbon that you could buy by the oz. That was a hit at our table. Table was set a waiting for us. Loved that! Server was knowledgeable, patient and extremely accommodating. Our view as Zion national park "the mountains" stunning. Oh! Humming birds flying by our window along with a fireplace in another room that you got experience in your way to the bathroom. The spotted dog offers an epic experience. read more

Super solid choice. I had the wild game meatloaf. It was delicious and very nurturing, just what I needed after a long day in the Park. We also had cocktails, also wonderful. Omg Springdale was so crowded!!! We definitely wanted to eat outside so we were seated at a little table off the parking lot, for which the staff was apologetic but we found it charming. It was a very small parking lot serving a small and charming bnb and lodge. And we were closer to those gorgeous red cliffs. Service was excellent. read more

So pleased with the Spotted Dog. We went in on a whim and ended up having the best dinner we've had in years. But those pasta purses filled with pear and ricotta in sage butter sauce...

We went here for dinner. What a great find !! It is close to the Zion entrance so we stopped in. The menu was fun and they had a lot of things marked GF : gluten free on the menu which was a plus. I got the Gorgonzola salad and highly recommend it ! Whatever the dressing was, it was great. I would definitely go back here. The staff were really cool too !! read more

We were so awestruck by the beauty of Zion National Forest And once finished said let us eat and drink and stopped because the curb appeal of this restaurant is also very attractive. The dinner was the best we've had so far this vacation. Even in Las Vegas the food and atmosphere was nothing compared to the atmosphere of this eatery. From the second we stepped in we were greeted and treated as great guests. Smiling and pleasant and was glad to talk and share a little. Thank you. Appetizers and adult beverages were wonderful. The presentation of the plated food was artwork. Your place is a must dine here when visiting. You'll be happy you did. Check out the pics... read more

Food is so good!! Enjoyed everything that went in my mouth, as did my dining partner. Highly recommend. Lots of parking surrounding the establishment. My favorite was the trout, so refreshing after a long day of hiking. Also enjoyed the alfadora drink, which was like a floral Moscow mule to me. We went 2x we liked it so much during our short stay in the area. read more

We were visiting for my mother in law's birthday. If you want to sit outside in front of the restaurant it will be an additional wait with a reservation. Luckily they were able to accommodate our dietary needs. Half of our group was vegan and they ordered the vegetarian forage which was cooked with oil instead of butter to make it vegan. The portobello mushroom, spinach, & wild rice was cooked and seasoned nicely. I really liked the hummus plate that we ordered as well. Beautiful scenery! read more

Drove out to Zion to try this restaurant. It was all pretty mediocre. Nothing really good and nothing really good. For the price I expected better. I ordered the bbq plater. The meats were dry, seemed over cooked, not great flavor...just mediocre. My wife ordered the wagu, wild boar, elk burger. It was also dry and seemed over cooked. Not worth the price! read more

We are tourists from New Hampshire on a Southwest tour. We weren't planning on any fine dining during this trip. But we came across the Spotted Dog and the Vegatarian Forage offering, with vegan option. Anna and Maya were so kind and gracious. Every part of this dining experience was perfect, and quite affordable. If you are ever in the Springdale, Utah area, this special place is worth the drive Mike&Robin read more

Loved the restaurant ambience, food and service. It caught my attention on my way out from Zion national park, it was full of lights and there were good number of customers. Since there was no network to check the rating, just thought of giving it a try with low expectations. For folks looking for parking in front of restaurant while full, do note that this is part of the lodge too and you can use the parking by the lodge. The service can be matched with white tablecloth restaurants, they're experienced. I only wish they could provide wifi to the dine in customers, since the signal is very bad in the area, both AT&T and Tmobile..but they declined to share. Anyway, all that apart, the food was great. The cocktails, the appetizers were slightly different from the other restaurants, positively. I had the southwestern chicken breast for main course , I usually am not a fan of a chunk of bland chicken meat, but the mango salsa tempted me to order it. It was scrumptious on the chicken. We were full and couldn't try the desserts, but stepped out happy. read more

A bit pricy, but it's an OK place for a hot home-style meal. We ordered three entrees which were approximately $20 each after taxes: 1. Meat Loaf - This was about the only entree I recommend out of the three. The meat loaf had good flavor and went really well with the mushroom and gravy sauce. I wasn't a huge fan of the red sweet and spicy sauce but appreciated the different flavor profile. Potatoes were cooked with the right time for good texture. 2. Spaghetti w/ Meatball - The spaghetti was just so so. The noodles were a bit under cooked, the sauce was good but not enough for a to-go order (came in a plastic container), and the garlic bread wasn't that great (we actually didn't care to finish it). The meat balls were good but it didn't save the dish. 3. Trout - Appearance was great and looked promising. After the first bite though, we were a bit let down because it truly lacked seasoning. There was barely any "wilted greens" and only 2 black berries. The rice was really good though. But again, it did not save the dish. I would not recommend. Decent place to go if you feel like eating a hot meal. Friendly st read more

We ate there our last night in town. It was a nice little restaurant. The service was good and the food was amazing! I had the lamb shake which was absolutely delicious and my boyfriend had the meatloaf and loved it. I'd recommend putting The spotted fog on your list of dining while in town. read more

The food is slightly above average -- you can't judge it by New York standards. The cocktails are good, and the best part is its location, very close to the park, where you can enjoy the view while dining. read more

Dinner reservations right at 6pm, our large party of 9 was seated right at the entrance where it was very drafty. The wait staff tried really hard to hard to do their very best, but not bringing requested condiments that were left off plates and not others, and not speaking up for everyone to hear (alternatively repeating it at the other side of the table) didn't leave a top notch impression. Food was delicious, but steaks were not marked and different levels of fineness were given to the incorrect guest. read more

Service was awesome here! No reservations were made but recommended. Only had to wait 15 minutes for a seating and had drinks by the bar. Parking's easy since it's the same lot as Flanigan's Inn. There was so much wait everywhere else and this last minute dine in went great. The food was amazing, steak and trout were good. Wish they had the short ribs but had run out. The margarita was good as well as the glass of Malbec. Prices were affordable given its fine dining feels. Will definitely come back! read more

Wanted to like everything but aside from the starter we ordered, everything just seemed off. Not bad by any means, a bit basic, and yet odd at times. We had the sautéed mushrooms and toasted baguette to start. The mushrooms were one of the best things I've ever had, the flat bread served with it was very stale however. The toasted baguette was okay, the sauce was like a canned pasta/tomato sauce. For entrees we had the ahi tuna, shrimp pasta, and purses pasta. Everything was edible but nothing was worth finishing. The combination of ingredients with the ahi tuna didn't pair well and there were just too many different flavors. The addition of the peas and carrots seemed as though they were an afterthought. The purses pasta lacked flavor, as did the butter sauce. My husband said his shrimp pasta was just ok. Lastly, the service was equally mediocre. Not bad but also not good. Overall disappointed that we spent so much at this restaurant. read more

Came on a summer evening after a long day at Zion National Park. Got a table right away and Kohl our server was kind and helpful. Ordered the roasted chicken and ribs which were both very good. Chicken coupled with wild rice + veggies & the ribs with potatoes and summer veggies. Good portion size for an appropriate price. Large wine menu with beer and cocktails too. Sat outside on the back patio although they do have a patio in the front. Amazing view of the mountains and good scenery on the patio. If you're in the area, would definitely recommend dinner at the spotted dog. read more

The steak was a STEAL. 12oz New York Strip Steak for like $45?!? And it was delicious. Food is presented beautifully as well. Just a little tip, the parking is scarce and there's a rush between 7 and 8. I would recommend making a reservation. The ambiance is also very comforting. Hostess was amazing! The table she sat us at had a beautiful sunset view of the zion mountains. Our table was also really close to the host stand and I noticed she would seat people, handle reservations and answer phone calls all at the same time. Shoutout to whoever was the hostess night of 03/20/2024. Her hard work doesn't go unnoticed. read more
