    It might be silly to write a review for a ski lodge grill, but hey, why not, here we go…read more We were at Alta for almost a week and stopped here everyday for lunch. The prices are OUTRAGEOUS (a cup of tea is $6! a styrofoam bowl of chili is $13!), but they know that they have a captive audience, so what's to be done. We had the veggie chili a couple times, and honestly, it's not bad, though one day it came out barely warm). French fries can oscillate between being crispy and soggy. There's a decent selection of everything, but as the week progressed, one of us started packing her own snacks. The whole atmosphere looks like you walked into a 1980's cafeteria, but we found it cozy. We likely won't be back in Alta, so thanks for the memories, Albion Grill!

    We asked for sour dough bread and it did not taste like it was, just tasted like white bread. My…read morefriend asked for avocado on his sandwich and was charged for it, but there wasn't any on there. Their system is a bit odd of writing what you want on a paper and just leaving it there. Super expensive, but I guess since it's a ski resort that's expected. Pedimos pan de masa agria y no sabía a nada, solo sabía a pan blanco. Mi amigo pidió aguacate en su sándwich y lo cobraron, pero no había ninguno allí. Su sistema es un poco extraño de escribir lo que quieres en un papel y simplemente dejarlo allí. Súper caro, pero supongo que como es un complejo de esquí que asi es.

    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.

    I was with a group ski class at Alta. The instructor suggested we try out Collins Grill. It's in…read morethe top floor of the new Watson shelter near the "angle station" on the Collins Lift. 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.
