Log Haven

Log Haven is rated the most romantic restaurant in Utah every year. The food is not only moan worthy, but the atmosphere is indescribable. Log Haven is located in the heart of Millcreek Canyon, the view stunning. Anytime Wes and I are looking for a fine dining restaurant this is the place that comes to mind first. 

Wes took me here for my 27th birthday. Here was our line-up:

Grilled Calamari - Cerignola Olive Mignonette
smoked tomato coulis, capers, lemon mayonnaise, garlic crouton

The Grilled Calamari was mediocre. I probably wouldn't order it again. I personally like deep fried calamari better, but if you are looking for a healthier appetizer and like calamari this is a good option.

Natural Skirt Steak*
frijoles borrachos, poblano chimichurri, tortilla battered sweet onion, lime aioli

Wes got the Natural Skirt Steak. When our waitress was describing it I thought she was going to have a foodgasim. Wes enjoyed his steak, he thought the sauce on it was amazing. Let's just say Wes probably wouldn't order it again...

Smoked Duck and Hand Cut Serrano Chile Pasta*
poblanos, habanero cheddar, mango salsa, chipotle butter

First let me say the thought of eating a duck makes me so sad for some reason, but this meal was so delicious words can't even describe how good it was. If you have never had duck before it is super tender, moist and juicy. The duck was cut up into medallions and the pasta was like nothing I have ever had before. The pasta was super soft and the sauce was hmmm.. perfection. I highly suggest this dish. 

City Weekly Best Of

Do you ever have a hard time deciding where to eat or end up dining at the same place each weekend? Well I may have a solution for your whoas. 

Each year Wes and I look forward to City Weekly's Best Of Utah. City Weekly rates restaurants in different categories and writes reviews on them. To break our habit of consistently eating at the same restaurants Wes and I started a new tradition. When the dining guide comes out each year we read the reviews of restaurants we have never eaten before that sound appetizing to us, we cut out the review and put it in a jar. Each weekend when we plan on dining out we pick a restaurant out of the jar and viola. We have found so many good restaurants by doing this that we wouldn't normally have ventured out to.
