Stopped in after hiking all day. Great food, great service and great ambiance. The brussels sprouts are amazing appetizer and the butter cake was beyond anything I could have imagined. Everything was great read more

Drove out to Ivins today to do an Adventure Lab. Heard about this place from mother-in-law. Beautiful red rock surround the art village where this is located. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated quickly. Atmosphere was pleasing and fit the area. Order the Cajun Brussel sprouts and Mahi fish tacos. The Brussel sprouts had good flavor. We added bacon to them as well. Fish tacos were huge. Crispy and full of flavor. We ended up splitting the plate. Ordered a Drunken iceberg amd wife had the mango bellini. Food was flavorful and hot. We would definitely come back. read more

The food was great. And our server was very pleasant. However it took over an hour to get our lunch. Lulu

Delicious food. Great service. As a visitor to St George, I thought the atmosphere was really unique and beautiful. I ordered the hummus which I am a real snob about and it was excellent, as was my salmon. read more

YELP FOR THE WIN, AGAIN!. My family was coming through the St. George area from Las Vegas, headed to Zion when we decided we were ready to eat. Yelp suggested this place, and I thought it was making a mistake because it seemed as if we were in the middle of nowhere but we followed Yelps map. You literally drive up a road that seems is leading you nowhere up into the beautiful red rocks....... but if you have faith and keep going, you land at Xetava Gardens Cafe and an AMAZING LITTLE artistry community/shops. We were absolutely thrilled to stumble upon this little shopping center/cafe. The food was locally sourced, fresh, quality food. The setting is absolutely stunning. The menu had so many interesting and unique items it was hard to decide. Portions were great and prices were ok for what you are getting. Service was efficient and friendly. There was a wait to be seated but we didn't mind because we used that time to wander around and shop in all of the little art shops. We bought jewelry, pottery, and other assorted one of a kind locally made goods. This is a must see. Stop in here, don't pass through. What a cool place. We will definitely be back if we are ever through the area. read more

A wonderful place to celebrate a friend's lunch today the steak gyro was excellent as well as the service. And such a beautiful day to sit outside in the patio. read more

My experience at Xetava Gardens Cafe was absolutely wonderful. Nestled in a lovely setting, Xetava offers an idyllic, whimsical, and inviting atmosphere complimented by a staff who seems to genuinely enjoy their work. Casey, my server was extremely friendly and mindful of a time constraint I'd mentioned. She was also accommodating of my food allergies and I couldn't have been more excited to have found an excellent gluten-free waffle! Most notably, Xetava had the best Americano I've ever tried in my entire life. It was visually stunning with a beautiful gradient resulting from the perfect ratio of water to espresso resulting in the perfect strength and boldness. Even though I was in a rush, this Americano demanded that I slowed down and took my time to enjoy every sip It's very clear that the chefs take great pride in the quality of their food. My waffle felt reminiscent of visiting an old friend who I haven't seen in a while, and is also happens to be the best home cook I know instead of eating breakfast at a restaurant. All around, Xetava is excellent, I couldn't be more pleased with every aspect of this experience! read more

We thought the food was incredible. My husband loved his chicken melt & I enjoyed my steak gyro. The location was perfect, located right inside the art walk. We were informed by local art vendors that they can get super busy and there will be a long wait during weekends, however, we were sat right away. The place gives a chill cafe vibe, you can sit outside with nice views. I had to knock off one star based on the interaction we had with our server. Being highly allergic to pork, we need to ensure there isn't cross-contamination in our food. The server had zero idea and told us she can't guaranteed that there wouldn't be any cross-contamination going on with our food. Like come on, you are running a full-service restaurant, and you should be able to accommodate customer requests based on their food allergies. We almost had to walk out however she went to check with the chef and chef said that they'd make our food on a separate grill which we greatly appreciated. Overall, nice place to eat and enjoy company! read more

Great food and service. This is our favorite spot to eat. I love the large beet salad. Unlike any beet salad I've ever ordered. Simply delicious. So many healthy choices to choose from on the menu. Combine that with its location and spectacular views and this restaurant has a recipe for success. Hope you enjoy this restaurant as much as we do. Bon appétit! read more

Super yummy and great atmosphere. Fun drinks. Will go back next time I'm in town for sure.

It makes me so sad to see how this formerly super-awesome place has taken the same high-falutin' turn as the rest of this area over the last 15 years. If I wanted to be catered to like a rich white person, I'd stay in Springdale. How does a lunch salad cost me $20 when you're using plastic cups? It's both heartbreaking to see the environment eschewed for convenience and weird to drink from plastic when you give me a cloth napkin and good silverware. Additionally, I'm sad to see that these guys have stayed with the pandemic-introduced menu-by-QR code. The absolute last thing I want to do when I sit down to a meal with friends or loved ones is pull out my phone. The food is fine, but you've lost me as a customer, Xetava. And I've been a loyal customer since day 1. I have also worked for Zion and lived in the Canyon for 20 years and regularly recommended this place but will not continue to do so. read more

WOW, that's all I can say at this point! Went to our favorite place to have dinner and our server Adrian said the special was Lobsterbriand, prime beef tenderloin and Maine lobster meat and we were in! Perfectly done med rare tenderloin and succulent lobster meat mixed with asparagus and heirloom tomatoes with spinach and white wine butter sauce. Words cannot describe how good this is! My hat is off to Greg, Rachel, Adrian and the awesome staff for creating this mouthwatering dish in this beautiful place! read more

Our waitress was lovely I think her name was Willow? Or Sage? I'm sorry, the food was great and I will be back!!

Really beautiful scenery and landscape, poor options for pregnant or non-alcohol drinking people in the party. Server seemed annoyed I was asking if they made mocktails or had lemonade or anything but sparking water and watermelon juice ($9.50 for a skinny small glass with huge chunks of ice) Did not accommodate a large group and we were split into different areas of the restaurant. Pricey, echoing interior, could not hear the people across the table. I was really looking forward to this but would not choose to come back. read more

Xetava - Outside the entrance - Cafes Near Me - Ivins, Utah

We sat outside today- 5:30. We made a simple request twice. Once to our server and once to to the manager to please turn on the heater next to where we were seated. Our request was ignored twice. Part way through our meal we asked the server again and she said she had asked somebody to do it and just laughed it off. Very poor customer service! Very very disappointed in this restaurant. read more

So so sooooo good. We traveled from out of town and FOUND this gem. It's tucked away from the main city, out of the way, really, in this area of art shops. Service was a bit slow. It was busy, but all the wait staff were attentive and extremely friendly. You really can't go wrong with anything here, it was all so good and fresh. read more

Came here for breakfast on a trip to Saint George. The restaurant was tucked away in a hidden area with an art festival behind the building so you are able to enjoy your food and tour the festival afterwards. The decor from the outside and inside gives a western vibe because there was a tree inside the restaurant and it was located in the middle of the desert. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with a bagel as the bread and avocado as the protein. The flavors all came together to make an exquisite dish that tasted amazing! Service was good because the waitress made sure to check on our table often and refill our water regularly. Not too many people in the restaurant during breakfast, but I would recommend making a reservation for dinner because more people visit the restaurant. The food at Xetava was great and it made my day much better after that delightful experience! read more

If I ever owned a restaurant it would go something like this place... So special! So many incredible details! Located in a beautiful & natural space surrounded by mountain views. And the food is incredible! Located in the Kayenta Art Village away from the city. 100% worth the drive. Whether you sit inside or outside the experience will be wonderful. The food is fresh, creative, and ultra delicious. Their philosophy is to serve you what they would serve their children. They buy locally sourced, wild, & organic. Can't wait to be back in Utah and pay them another visit! read more

Great food and service. We had to wait a while (expected) but the experience was worth it. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. I've eaten here a number of times and never been disappointed. Try the green curry mahi. read more

I was so excited to find Xetava Gardens Cafe out in Kayenta Art Village not far from where we were hiking in Snow Canyon State Park. We came into town for a day trip on a Sunday so I was thrilled to find out they were open on Sunday since so many restaurants in St George are closed on Sundays. The food was amazing, the outdoor seating area was so peaceful, and the surrounding views were gorgeous. I will definitely return to Xetava the next time I come out to hike! read more

This is a beautiful little cafe in a fairly hidden part of St. George, Utah. There is a small art enclave that surrounds it and then sweeping red views. The coffee is pretty good, although they don't have traditional drip coffee, just espresso drinks. The food is tasty too. We had a plate of delicate salmon tacos, grilled mahi in a touch-too creamy of a curry sauce, and a big bowl of fresh berries. Sitting by the window at a stunning tile table was lovely. read more

While the ambiance is wonderful, the new menu and drinks are overpriced and no longer give a fair value for money. Almost all cocktails are premixed and the Bloody Mary I had was just plain awful. Worst I have ever had. Servings of entrees were small compared to prior management. Great for ambiance, great service and ordinary food and poor to ordinary cocktails cocktails read more

Oh my goodness.. the peach chutney chicken was divine. The chicken was moist and the green beans were flavorful. The specialty lemonades are absolutely something to try! read more

This is a hidden gem in Southern Utah! It is located in a wonderful art gallery village. Make sure you make time to stop and look at all the shops. We went after a wonderful hike in Snow Canyon. We had the rose slushee, frozen coconut mint lemonade, chicken burger, fresh hummus, fresh fruit bowl, and the beet salad with grilled chicken. Service was wonderful. read more

The California chicken burger(pictured) is ABSOLUTELY amazing. We did a no cheese version and it didn't disappoint. The fries are really good stringy fries. I forgot to take a picture of the hummus plate but it's a must get!! It's super delicious as well as the lemonade mint supreme - it's like a frozen mint julep drink. Also the gluten free waffle was AMAZING. not what you would expect but crispy and soft and delicious all at the same time. Highly recommend. They are also very COVID-19 friendly and offer spaced outdoor seating. read more

Five of us with a pup, had a hard time being served because of covid and the pup can only be sat in a certain area. Was given food that we didnt order (but we ended up liking it more than what we ordered). Confusing but understandable in times like this. Onto the food... Mahi Tacos 5/5 Personally I couldnt taste it due to an allergy but unanimously voted the tastiest by the 4 friends (this is the dish that was given to us by mistake). Herb and Berry Salad 5/5 (added grass fed steak 4/5) If you like fruits in your salad, this is your wet dream comes true!! It was so refreshing and the balsamic dressing works really well with the berries. The crunchy candied walnuts are such awesome addition to the salad. The grassfed steak was, however, not as flavourful as I hoped. I wouldn't pay for the upgrade again. Kayenta Burger 4/5 Friend said it was good but was't memorable Steak Gyro 3/5 Would probably stay away if you're expecting halal street cart type gyro. It's not. Maybe a healthier version of it but friend who ordered it was disappointed. Would like to see gluten free bread option for the sandwiches and burgers. Don't forget to check out the Desert Rose Labyrinth close by (driving recommended). read more

We have given this restaurant 4 or 5 chances and it always end up bad. The service is always slow, the food is really not great, and the attitude from the 20-something staffers is beyond obnoxious. Everyone needs some serious customer service training from the Manager down. They argue with customers and refuse to listen to input. You are forced to use their QR code menu on a very poorly designed and cumbersome app. No actual menus are allowed or exist at this "restaurant". If it were not located in the Kayenta Village, they would have been out of business years ago. Skip this place and head over to the Cliffside Restaurant on Tech Drive on the hill by the D overlooking St. George. Much better food, much better service, and an amazing view! read more

Fantastic food, friendly service, cool ambiance. We had the Brussels Sprouts, added bacon and goat cheese. I had the green curry mahi and my wife had the wild salmon. I would highly recommend all of . read more

Had our last dinner in the area here. We got the Brussels sprouts with a delightful peach topping, the large beet salad (loved the dill oil) and mahi mahi tacos. The tacos were a good size, like others had previously said, and the fish was really nice. Lots of tasty flavors (unique to have grapes on there). I also got the sangria which was refreshing. Overall - a very nice experience! read more

Nice location in the art district. Friendly staff and great burgers and chicken sandwich!

I'm an out of towner but this is my second time visiting this place. It is such a unique spot to eat! Food is great and the decor is very well done. However, exceeding all of that was the service. Christine was our waitress and she made the experience all the more impressive. Great hire, do everything you can to keep her. She was cheerful, fun to talk to, quick witted, and extremely helpful. Can't recommend this place enough (mahi-mahi tacos are legit). If you really want to blow your mind, order a "Dirty Girl". Thank you Xeteva and thank you Christine! read more

My friend Zoe and I stopped here on a recent pilgrimage from Las Vegas to St. George (to pick up my newest kitty!). This earthy cafe came highly recommended by friends who trek to St. George often. It was a bit tricky to find at first, as it's tucked into a delightfully artsy promenade. We were seated quickly and browsed the lengthy coffee menu. I settled on an iced caramel macchiato and enjoyed it very much. It gave me a nice jolt, but the caffeine didn't make me jittery. As for my meal, I ordered the veggie ciabatta and it was quite tasty and huge! It was loaded with zucchini, shredded carrots, tomato, onion, and mushroom. It was served with a generous serving of matchstick fries as well. I didn't eat too many of them, but I did enjoy them. I'm quite sad that this artsy cafe is a few hours away, but I will definitely be returning on any future trips to St. George! This cafe is a must-stop for both the food and the ambiance. read more

One of our go to spots while visiting our home in St. George, Utah. Absolutely the best food and service every time we visit. The views and the location are spectacular in this enclave at Kayenta Art Village. Today was no exception. Went for lunch on a cold day to get a seasonal Egg Nog latte and decided to try their Nashville hot chicken sandwich special. It was amazing. Their specials are always the best. Service was top notch and Victoria was just the best at seeing to our needs. Topped lunch off with my favorite chilled chili chocolate. Thanks Xetava Garden Cafe. We will be back soon. read more
