    Orange Elderflower Mule
    Stacy A.

    Really loved this spot for lunch. It's a bit off the beaten path and it seems to be a local hangout, for the most part. I read a lot of Yelp reviews for local spots but this one stood out because they had comfort foods like corn chowder, and that felt right on a chilly late fall day. We got the corn chowder, mussels & clams, and the meatloaf. I also treated myself to an elderflower mule. The portion sizes are huge and I'm glad we split everything, but the meatloaf portion was so big, it was borderline unappetizing. However, it tasted very comforting although I'm almost certain the gravy comes from a packet. The corn chowder was comforting but very much on the sweet side. The broth for the mussels and clams was fantastic and I enjoyed dipping the crispy baguette into the broth. The mule was very tasty, highly recommend! Overall, great service, great food, great experience!

    Nice spot for lunch, very friendly staff! Lots of bees when eating outside, could probably solve that with battery powered table fans. Food was good! Lots of parking, definitely recommend! Check out their bakery in the back

    Fresh, Flavorful & Totally Charming Stopped into Windy Ridge Café and was pleasantly surprised--everything was so fresh and delicious. I had the spinach and tomato quiche (fluffy and perfectly baked), the watermelon gazpacho (refreshing and just the right touch of sweet), and the beet and walnut salad (a great mix of earthy, tangy, and crunchy). The staff was warm, the patio was peaceful, and the vibe is cozy without being crowded. A perfect off-the-main-drag spot in Park City. Highly recommend

    This was a cute little place, we're visiting from Arizona for the summer. The waiter was super kind and did his job well. The guy that brought our food out was also happy with a smile (his hair was in a ponytail with big earrings). Most the food was really good minus the meatloaf which tasted very "herby", best way I can describe it hahah! Overall very nice experience and food came out fast! Very friendly staff.

    We have been wanting to try Windy Ridge cafe for a while. It is a unique, colorful, diner type restaurant. I had high expectations going in for the hot chocolate looking at all the previous pictures and was a little disappointed by it. It was decent but I had higher expectations from previous pictures/reviews. The shredded chicken Asian salad was good. I liked the dressing. The cucumbers seemed a little slimy in it. I was initially concerned about the chicken as it looked very bland however the dressing and salad made it better. I think if there was some citrus or crunch to the salad like wonton strips or mandarin oranges the salad would have been better. For the sandwich the fried egg was over cooked and the potatoes were under seasoned. The best thing about this restaurant was the onion ring tower. The batter was seasoned perfectly. The service was good.

    Such a cute spot in town! They have a great patio. The staff is super friendly. Everything we had was delicious and full of flavor. Highly recommend the Greek salad with shrimp. Perfect portion.

    The food was mediocre. The ambiance is tired. Definitely would not return. There are many other great casual restaurants to choose from.

The staff we interacted with were equally lovely. Biscuits and gravy is my go-to at any diner. I mean it when I say this was the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. The whole thing is one biscuit and the gravy is more of a bechamel with a peppery kick balanced by the sweet biscuit; more like a savory cake in the best way. My professional cook boyfriend is rarely ever impressed by food and we were equally blown away! There are no incorrect options on the menu. Bf also loved his huevos rancheros, but the biscuits and gravy were the star of the show. We cannot recommend it enough and couldn't stop talking about it the rest of our trip.

The Eating Establishment certainly falls into this description. We had a variety of food dishes for brunch and nothing stood out. Actually, the "Shakshuka" stood out because this was without a doubt the worst shakshuka I've ever eaten. It was made entirely incorrectly. The sauce was bland and watery. There were copious amounts of whole garlic cloves (??????) which forced a game of dodge the cloves to eat whatever else was remotely edible. The staff was nice.

    I'm going to start with the biggest factor in a so-so review: The prices…read more Finding the restaurant on Yelp, I noticed that, in addition to the positive reviews, the prices seemed reasonable. They were not; they were actually 50% or more higher at the restaurant. The hamburger that was showing on Yelp for $15 was actually $22. The Steak Frites advertised for $22 were $35. I understand inflation, but this was a gross enough difference that it borders on deception, in my opinion. I also had a bad experience with my food: I ordered a cup of their chili (which they claim is made from scratch, on-site) and it was brought to the table cold. Like, "right out of a can" cold. Kelsi, our fantastic server, returned it to the kitchen where (I presume) they nuked it and brought it back. It was heated, but not very tasty. Flat; under-seasoned; mushy textured. Definitely something I'd never order again. Many reviews say the atmosphere is "loud" but what they mean is, it's "LOUD". We were seated inside, and it was nearly impossible for the three of us to converse. The acoustics are not great. Enough cons; how about some pros? My burger was FANTASTIC! piled high with caramelized onions and pastrami, but beef patty tasted like it'd just come off a charcoal grill. Terrific flavor in every bite. (The parmesan fries were tasty, too, but a little on the soggy side.) My dining partners each had a salad (one 'wedge' and one 'beetroot') and both were well-prepared and generously portioned. And, finally, the staff, the location, the vibe: All really first-rate. I'll probably come back, if I ever recover from the bait'n'switch sticker shock. (But I'll steer clear of the chili and opt to dine on the patio, if that's available!)

She never said her name or what her position was at the restaurant. It was over 100 degrees on this day. I was carrying coconut water to stay hydrated. When I sat down she approached me & said it was illegal to bring outside drinks into a restaurant. Illegal? What a liar? What was her purpose? To try and scare me? Am I going to be arrested? There is no law in Utah or any federal law in the USA that states it's illegal to bring an outside drink into a restaurant. All she had to do is say "I apologize but we prefer no outside drinks in this restaurant, may you please place it under the table" and everything would've been fine. Nope she wanted to try an intimidate me. Maybe she's prejudice towards Latinos. It is Utah but who knows? The food was great, the Latina waitress was nice too. When I got the check, I used my business card to pay, I just paid off the balance on the card on Friday but it was Saturday & the payment didn't clear yet. Not knowing this the card declined. No big deal... But instead of my waitress coming to my table to inform me my card declined, it was Pipi Longstocking (White woman, curly red hair) again... Letting everyone sitting around us know my card declined. I used my Business Amex Platinum this time and that was that. I really enjoyed my dinner with my wife. The food was so unique & delicious but that particular woman made me not want to return back. Please be a better person & treat your customers with equality & kindness. Thank you.

We ended up at Hearth and Hill because of the Yelp reviews, and I'm glad we did. The lunch menu was pretty small, and we almost left.

The service was great, and the restaurant was clean and a nice change of pace from what we were eating the whole trip. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Park City.

    This establishment takes their reservations very seriously. We went around 4:30pm and the…read morerestaurant looked 15% filled. Meaning, there were lots of open tables. When we requested a table, the host informed us there was an active reservation for our table in 1.5 hour and we could dine as long as we could be gone by that time. That took me by surprise as the restaurant was very much empty. We were too invested now to find a different restaurant, but it felt degrading. So, I agreed to vacate our dining table on time, if they could ensure our food would be served in 30 min. So, we sit and order hastily. So, here a hastily written review to match our dining experience. The cheddar biscuits were tasty. The smash burger is just another burger with a side of fries. It had some fun Parmesan crisp for extra flavor and texture. The birria tacos were very unexciting in flavor. The burrata salad was interesting, and sparked my culinary curiosity. I didn't want to push my luck with dessert. To not overstay our welcome, we paid and skedaddled. Although I felt rushed and judged, the server was polite and kind. In conclusion, the food ranged from interesting to disappointing, but service was great. Maybe next time I'll make a reservation for a table that comes without a hot timer... if there is a next time. Also, when we left, only about 30% of the tables looked occupied. The forced rush was really unnecessary.
