Full House Asian Bistro, Kimball Junction, Park City, UT

Families skiing in the Park City area often look for reasonably priced places to take the kids. Full House Asian Bistro in the Kimball Junction shopping area is just that. This decent kid-friendly restaurant offers Chinese, Asian and Japanese selections. We started with the spicy wonton soup for two ($8) with steamed wontons in a sweet both made spicy with some chile oil. Warmed the soul from inside out. I'd recommend. Next we ordered Buddha’s feast with broccoli, carrots, black mushrooms and tofu ($11) made spicy, as asked them to make to do so. I was wanted a spicy dish like Buddha's with lots of veggies. Was fine, nothing special. I [...]

High West Distillery & Saloon in Park City, Park City, UT

The warm fire outside of High West Distillery & Saloon in Park City invited us in to check it out. High West — located in Old Town — is Utah’s first distillery since the 1870’s, and the only ski-in gastro-distillery in the world. It's located at the bottom of Quittin’ Time ski run and next to the Town Lift. We weren't skiing but were in the mood for a drink. Instead of indulging in their small-batch, mountain-crafted, award-winning whiskeys, we opted for a beer. I had a Leffe Blonde ($7). Along with that libation, we ordered the warm, large house-made pretzel accompanied by whiskey whipped cheddar beer cheese,  a Dijon mustard [...]

Maxwell’s East Coast Eatery, Kimball Junction, Park City, UT

Maxwell's is an Italian sports bar in Kimball Junction — a section of Park City — serving East Coast style preparations for reasonable prices, including pizza by the slice. We sampled the meaty jumbo wings ($12) in a choice of sauces. My nephews had the original spicy Buffalo sauce, with carrots. Celery and bleu cheese sauce are also options, as is ordering the wings boneless. One of my grand-nephews ordered a slice of cheese pizza ($3 ) with his wings; the other ordered their "famous" Philly cheesesteak ($10) on an Amoroso's hearth-baked roll topped with onions, green peppers, cherry peppers and a side of French fries ($.99).

The Lift Grill & Lounge at Jupiter Bowl, Park City, UT

For my grand nephew's twelve birthday, the family in town gathered at the Jupiter Bowl for some bowling and then at the Lift Grill & Lounge dining room to eat. I was told that the food was quite good there, but we learned the management had changed. Would the offerings be as good? We shared lots of appetizers for the table. The guacamole with chips ($8) was greatly in need of some seasoning even a soupçon of salt or the addition of jalapeños. The tortilla on the quesadilla ($9) needed more cooking; the filling again needed seasoning. The vegetarian samosas ($10), filled with potatoes, peas and lentils drizzled in a [...]

Sammy’s Bistro, Park City, UT

While visiting in Park City, I heard that Sammy's Bistro had decided to offer breakfast. I had to try it as there are very few places offering breakfast fare in this busting ski resort. One of us ordered a simple scrambled egg, bacon and hash browns with a side of toast ($8.50). Although they mentioned that they made they make their own hash browns, the kitchen forgot to add any seasoning. Salt and pepper would have been an acceptable addition. Another had the two Scotch eggs — Italian sausage wrapped around a soft boiled egg, then rolled in bread crumbs and fried ($12). Sadly the cook fried it way too [...]
