    Lime and mint
    Amy L.

    Very refreshing! I got the lime mint water ice and it was very yummy. Service was great, the guy taking orders was friendly.

    We loved the ice cream and ice water. Perfect with an amazing view! The staff was really sweet and let us try different flavors.

    cone and cute flower! strawberry and lemon

    a real gem in zion! ive been going to zion for years but this is my first time having desert ice and it was so great. the "water ice" is really refreshing compared to all the ice cream places in town. i believe that they also use fresh fruit! i was a bit skeptical since i felt the price was expensive until i realized that they fill the cup all the way. my boyfriend loves ice cream/gelatos and we barely finished our shared large size. we got the lemon and strawberry which was a perfect mix. the lemon is tart and not too sweet, which the strawberry complemented well. nothing tasted artificial to me. i was also curious about their "sourdough cone" which was actually super good! you can actually tell a difference with the taste. they were busy on the hot summer weekday but the service was very fast and nice. it is a cute little shack near the front of the national park entrance. an essential visit from me now!!

    To eat or to admire? You can do both!

    This was Ah-amazing! Speedy service! If you're undecided they will help you decide on flavor combinations. We ordered 5 regulars. They were A tad pricy but really it's worth it! They're super refreshing as you come out of Zion's heat and bonus! They are not too sweet. Best combo- chocolate strawberry Next best- mango blueberry Really one flavor or a mix... you'll be satisfied. Yummm

    This place has ridiculous good mango ice. It's perfect after a hike in Zion or just on a hot day, we went two days back to back. Briefly chatted with the owner and she was extremely nice. Honestly its the best mango ice cream I've had outside Italy and in the last place I expected to find it: Utah! What a gem. And they are opening a permanent location, looking forward to going back when I'm back at Zion.

    Mango ice and vanilla ice cream.

    Best vanilla ice cream!! The combo of shaved ice and ices cream was the best! Great service!!

    Strawberry ice

    Got a strawberry ice and it was so cute and perfect. A little pricey for how small it was but the flower shape was cute and the flavor was good. Service was fast and friendly! Plenty of seating outside of Zion outfitters to enjoy it. Perfect on a 100 degree day in Springdale!

    Lemon and guava large ice
    Phyllis F.

    After a long hike in the narrows, desert ice was the perfect treat. We got the large which allows you to have 2 flavors. They layered the 2 flavors and made it look like a rose. We got guava and lemon ice. Both were delicious. Best guava ice that I've had

    The perfect treat to cool off after a fun day in the park. The staff was kind and the service was fast, all from a super cute truck. The ice had an ideal texture and the flavors were spot on--highly recommend mixing lemon and strawberry!

    So yum and dairy free!! We got two and I loved the presentation. Fair prices for the location and so yummy! Def worth a tr

    Delicious. Some of the best shaved ice I've ever had! Don't pass them up.

    Delicious! Best shaved ice I think I've ever had. Don't pass it by! All flavors were so good.

    Yummy almost sorbet type ice cream place. Their menu is simple and refreshing! We got the chocolate flavor, guava, mango, strawberry from the ice options and then we also added the vanilla ice cream option. The vanilla ice cream wasn't really an ice cream though (it does say dairy free) so that could be the reason it tasted a little like play doh (IMO). Regilar size was $5.25 I believe and large was $6.25, add $1 extra for ice cream. Overall was very refreshing and this beautiful Zion day.

One thing to keep in mind is parking. If you arrive after 4:00 PM, parking is free when you go inside and validate it. You'll need to use an app for the validation process. I was dining solo, so I sat at the bar. The bar area is fairly large and can probably accommodate around 10-20 people. They also have a wine cellar, which is a nice feature, and a great selection of Italian favorites. I also appreciated that they were willing to customize drinks. I ordered a mojito made with vodka instead of rum, and the service at the bar was excellent. As I looked around the restaurant, I noticed the serving team was attentive and timely. The entire restaurant was very clean, and there was great attention to detail throughout--not only with the food and presentation, but also behind the bar. The bartender was new, but she was very attentive and accommodating with the changes and requests I made. Watching the kitchen as well, it was clear there was a lot of care and preparation put into every dish. The food looked great, the service was excellent, and the overall experience was wonderful. I recommend reservations. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Parking was a bit confusing with multiple QR codes--using the wrong one will result in paying to park, which could be explained better. The hostess was welcoming, and our waiter was very nice. Our drinks took quite a while to arrive, and when our meals came out, my daughter's and mine arrived, but my husband's was missing. We were told he had only ordered a salad, which wasn't correct, so his entrée had to be ordered while we ate. No one enjoys having one person at the table waiting for their meal while everyone else is finished eating. The manager explained it was our waiter's second day. I understand everyone has to learn, but new employees should be properly supported until they're comfortable. That's fair to both the employee and the customer. Unfortunately, after driving nearly an hour each way, the experience didn't live up to our expectations.

I've been working my way through Cedar City's gyro offerings this year. This is #4 I've tried. He reported that his pizza was perfect and tasted exactly as expected (& anticipated). My Gyro pizza naturally tasted just like a gyro should. It comes with all the standard gyro ingredients: spiced gyro meat, red onion on a pizza crust coated with red sauce and light mozzarella. The pizza-y sauce and mozzarella stayed in the background and let the greek side takeover. The feta cheese, tzatziki sauce and fresh tomatoes are added on top after baking. I asked for no tomatoes (don't like them fresh/uncooked). After 2 pieces I had my fill of the gyro pizza. I was losing track of the individual gyro flavors by that time. (I think I had the same flavor overload while trying the Greek pizza). Hope it will reheat well tomorrow but there might be a culinary reason they wait to put the tzatziki sauce & feta on after baking. The pizza crust here is as good as a pita to carry the greek gyro fixings to my mouth. Always have encountered friendly staff here and Kenedy P at the counter was efficient in taking our order. Love the little outdoor patio since we usually bring our dog. Wow they are ready to cook a lot of pizzas with all the firewood that's stacked up there! Yum yum. Can't wait but I'll either go back to my prior "usual " of a Margheroni or try another of their tasty offerings.

I ate all of it. My other half preferred the scampi which was boasting with all kinds of seafood he almost licked the plate clean. Waitress was prompt, friendly, fun. The place was getting busy for a midweek dining experience but did not lack anything. Saw some friendly faces we knew that were also eating there. Highly recommend this place, lots of choices. I will be trying the steak on our next visit! It looked amazing and so many people were ordering it. Go there eat inside or outside, enjoy some wine and bread while you're waiting for your meal.

Which is delicious, but not what we were looking for at the time. We place our order at the register, and immediately the young woman ran to the back and started talking loudly about us with her coworker, saying "How stupid do you have to be to come here and not know we serve grilled cheese? It says it outside." I immediately looked around because it doesn't have any description of what they serve outside. I was truly appalled and upset by the customer service here. I've worked a job or two and I know how to complain about a customer, and you just don't do it when they're still within earshot. If their employees learn nothing else from this review, I hope that they learn how be rude and uncouth quietly. The lack of professionalism from these two young women will be the reason I do not return to this establishment. The disrespect was not worth my coins.
