AAA / Inspector 334Red Tail Grill at Grand Summit Hotel
Park City, Utah
AAA Inspector: If you want to ski a run, stop and see friends on the way down, quench your thirst, snack, soak up rays on a lounge chair and repeat, I'd go here.
This mountainside restaurant features amazing views of the slopes and an outdoor deck on a ski beach. Menu items may include an addictive brisket spring roll with cherry dip, chili-rubbed wings, refreshing watermelon and feta salad, great burgers, bone-in pork chop with peach jam and, my favorite, the three-cheese-crusted baked chicken with artichoke. Hours vary seasonally.
Lisa Ward / Silver Star CafeSilver Star Cafe
Park City, Utah
AAA Inspector: Positioned at the base of Silver Star chairlift, the location allows me to ski-in/ski-out in the winter and bike or hike here in the summer.
Lunch, dinner, and even breakfast is served during the height of the ski season. The owner-chef is imaginative, creating classic dishes such as stroganoff and stews alongside Southwestern-influenced creations. The huevos rancheros is rich and flavorful, or try the tasty grilled fish tacos or hearth-fired pizza. The menu changes with the season and always offers a memorable dining experience. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available.
AAA / Inspector 334Westbank Grill
Teton Village, Wyoming
AAA Inspector 334: I will never tire of watching excited skiers and bicyclists going up and down on the chair lifts or families taking an evening walk up the slopes.
After a day skiing or white-water rafting, guests can savor a creatively presented, regionally influenced meal made all the more enjoyable by warmth from a massive stone fireplace. The grand dining room continues the resort's elegant rustic theme featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that offer panoramic views of the slopes and the mountains. Prepared in the 1,800-degree infrared grill, Rocky Mountain elk chop, dry-aged bison rib-eye, smoked Colorado lamb rack or corn-fed Washington filet mignon may appear on the menu.
