Itinerary tips

  • 1Book your table at least two weeks in advance via their online portal, as prime dinner slots fill quickly during the peak spring and fall seasons.
  • 2Plan for a 1.5 to 2-hour dining experience to fully enjoy the multi-course options like the signature elk tenderloin.
  • 3Drive to the north end of Moab to find the restaurant housed in the historic 1892 dance hall on North Main Street.
  • 4Utilize the dedicated on-site parking lot directly in front of the building, which accommodates larger vehicles better than street parking.
  • 5Ask your server about the nightly house-made pasta specials, as these often feature seasonal ingredients not found on the standard menu.
  • 6Bring a light jacket even in the spring, as the outdoor patio seating can become chilly once the desert sun sets.
