Best Restaurant in Park City. They blow J&G Grill and The Montage away. Lobster bisque is a must! I'm not a fan of Venison but they made change my mind, it was simply outstanding! read more

Marion H's review could be my review. This restaurant used to be top notch, and we were loyal customers. The new chef and new menu are terrible. Menu has been cut in half and the quality is horrendous. Our main courses were inedible and the beggar's purse, which we had previously loved, was not the same - it was like a premade mushroom spanikopita. Prices are ridiculous, and the waitstaff, while nice, were not the former knowledgable foodies. We will not be back. read more

Once a year I treat myself to dinner here and it has yet to be anything but wonderful. If you can get past the sticker shock, Mariposa has the best food in the country. Delicious!!! read more

The ambiance is quiet, romantic, and relaxing. The downstairs dining room is small but comfortable. The service is impeccable. Your water glass is filled as soon as you finish taking a sip. Because it's a tasting menu, between each small plate new silverware are provided. Our waiter was knowledgeable and explained each dish in great detail. His suggestions were all amazing. Would definitely go back. read more

Brought my family back after a 5 year break from coming to Park City for Christmas. The food and experience was even better than I remembered. Go for the wine pairings with your meal, as each one is hand picked to compliment each small plate. You can't go wrong here for a special occasion. A delight to the senses! read more

My absolutely favorite thing about this place was the chocolate snowball! I love chocolate and it was amazing! place setting is good and wonderful and personal service. read more

Fantastic food, AMAZING service, classy staff.... However the manager was so rude, innapropriate, and unwelcoming that his dispositions almost made me leave before i even sat down. He almost ruined my wedding anniversary bcs we were 10min late for our reservation... And kept being rude. As soon as he is fired this is a place i can recommend! read more

Lovely vibe in their old world, wood paneled fireplace-abundant establishment. Unobtrusive & highly skilled service. Garrett's a STAR. The lobster chowder, gruyere & dungeness soufflé & lamb are standout dishes. Beggar's purse, too. Mariposa will always be on our deer valley must visit list. read more

Mariposa, please make a change. Read the other negative reviews on this site and others before making reservations. The food was good, the concept was nice, but the experience was not. The food was good, the Pan Roasted were perfect, buttery and delicious. The Nori and sesame Ahi was forgettable The Buratta, basil and heirloom Tomato salad was a great take on a classis Tomato/Basil/Mozarella salad. We also had a lobster risotto off their specials menu, good, but salty. and one glass of wine... And here is the rub... $100. We had to go out again to be filled up. The waiter was obsequious on the surface, but passive aggressive in reality. Always telling us that we needed to order more. He recommended that each person order 3-5 plates. At about $18/plate that is $180 before drinks. Ambiance... none. This is a dated 70's style stuffy restaurant. If you are going to be a tapas restaurant, charge Tapas prices, no dinner prices for your tapas. It was not worth the money, the pushy waiter, the drive, or the lackluster ambiance. read more

Fantastic experience. Definitely the pinnacle of fine dining in Utah. I had no difficulty making the reservations, but did have some problems finding the place! I drove right by the driveway and ended up back at the bottom of the mountain. When I finally found the place, it was gorgeous. It was quietly elegant while retaining some rustic flavor. There was also a roaring fire which contributed mightily to the atmosphere. Service was surprisingly friendly and efficient (I have not received better in Utah). My tasting menu started with an amuse bouche of an herbed goat cheese crostini. This was followed by impeccably fresh Ahi Sashimi. Warm Vidalia Onion Crusted Goat Cheese and Baby Beet Salad was rich and decadent though perhaps a little one-note. The Wild Mushroom Beggar's Purse was a house specialty and was delicious. The puff-pastry puse was light and flaky and contained a nice assortment of morels, chanterelles, and crimini mushrooms. The Sablefish Mariposa was another signature dish and was absolutely wonderful. The fish was perfectly sauteed and the moist, succulent flakey meat was set off by the slightly sweet, slightly tangy honey tamari glaze. The accompanying shitake mushroom rice cake was the perfect crispy foil to the tender fish. I completed my meal with the Rocky Mountain Rack of Lamb, two perfect little chops crusted with fresh pesto, napped with a rich roasted shallot and garlic sauce, and served with an exquisite "potatoes au gratin" tower. For dessert, I had the Banana Brûlée Tart, which was really my only disappointment of the night. It was elegantly presented, but rather than a banana tart with a bruleed crust, I was presented a little custard tart, separate bananas that had been bruleed, and a little quenelle of ice cream. Elegant but not what I had hoped it to be. My wife had the vegetarian tasting menu which consisted of the Fried Green Tomato, Warm Caramelized Onion and Gruyère Tart, Baby Spinach and Grilled Gala Apple Salad, Sesame and Nori Crusted Tofu, and the Sautéed Wild Mushrooms and Herbed Quinoa. My wife assured me that her dishes were all delicious, a fact I confirmed with little tastings myself. The highlight of her menu had to be the crusted tofu dish, with the tofu assuming a "meatiness" I did not think was possible. All in all, a wonderful experience that I did not think would be possible in Utah. The other reviewer was right in that reservations are tight...if you make one, be prepared to forfeit a hefty deposit if you don't show. If you do show, you can expect a wonderful, absolutely delicious meal at SF prices, that is to say...it is expensive! Dinner for my wife and I (without any booze) ran about $300. And unfortunately, the restaurant is only open during ski season. read more

The servers are friendly and very nice, but the restaurant is overrated. The Mariposa seems to be confused as to its identity--is it a ski resort tapas restaurant or is it a high end small course restaurant? Many of the dishes were just ok. The presentation seems to have overtaken the interest in flavor. Also, be prepared to sit for a long time. The delay in platings could be decreased. read more

I agree with the other review about the change from last year. We have been coming here for a special dinner during our ski week for ten years. This year the changes in the menu to small plates (ie higher prices for much less food) and the deletion of some of our favorite items means we probably won't go back. The service was overly (uncomfortably) attentive. Does the waiter really need to describe in complete detail the ingredients when he places the dish down you already ordered when he had already described it when you ordered? Food was delicious however (although tiny) & we'll miss our annual visit. read more

Wow! What an experience! Everything, and I mean everything, was wonderful! The hosts were great. Our busser was very good. Our waiter Dave was perfect! He was extremely personable, attentive, and gave great suggestions of the food. He also had great stories to share! The atmosphere was nice and our table very private. The food was the absolute highlight! We had the scallops, Beggar's purse, soufflé, quail. Each had a distinctive and memorable taste. Topped off by dessert - Cappuccino soufflé and cheesecake! Yum! It was a perfect evening! Thanks to the chef who made each bite an experience! read more

over priced and not good if you want a huge meal, all small plates but with GREAT flavor and awesome presentation

This particular evening and dinner was at "good as it gets." The ambiance was intimate and definitely reflected the mountain environment with a popping fire warming the room. It was snowing on March 23rd. Our waiter Dave was personable, knowledgeable and made us feel like we were the only table in the room. I would highly recommend the quail. Although all of our dishes had intricacies and depth of flavor that tantalized the taste buds. Definitely order the dessert. The cheesecake and the cappuccino souffle were both decadent. I have enjoyed the best restaurants in Park City, but the new trend to small plates is an enjoyable change in pace. The Mariposa has embraced this trend and taken it to a new level. Small plates speak to my love of variety. read more

The restaurant is difficult to find at night so allow extra time to drive up the mountain. When you arrive you will feel that the drive was well worth it! The ambiance, the waiters and the food are extraordinary. We felt really special. Every course we ordered was outstanding-- highly recommend the burrata salad, lobster bisque, caramelized onion tart, lamb and veal dishes. The signature chocolate snowball was beyond delicious. For a special occasion, the Mariposa is the place to go! read more

Amazing food, creative chef, outstanding experience. You will be amazed at how much thought and detail goes into each and every plate. The food was killer, the ambience was pretty good and our server outstanding! Before you eat any of the food make sure you ask for the detail behind the master piece you're about to enjoy! read more

Don't miss this! Amazing food and service. Would list best plates, but the list would be too long! Don't miss the cheese and cured meats make on premise! read more

I enjoyed a great meal at Miraposa. The atmosphere is great for an intimate date! Get the Bison you wont be disappointed! The desserts are also amazing.. This is fine dining in Park City so expect the bill to be large read more

We have come to Deer Valley for 15 years and love it. Staying at the great Stein Lodge, dinner reservation tonight at Mariposa and it was awful!! Myself, my wife and three kids were treated rudely by the obnoxious maitre d, waited 45 minutes for bread to arrive at our table and walked out. Deer Valley is wonderful and has so many options for dining, PLEASE don't waste your time and $$ at Mariposa. read more

My family and I came here for dinner. We were visiting Utah and hoping for a gourmet meal. The menu offered a nice selection and variety of small plates, and our waiter Geremy did an excellent job of explaining each dish. Both the waiter and the menu suggested that we order 4-5 courses each. Erring on the conservative side, we decided to order 4. Our first three courses were as expected - delicious! Especially the mushroom "beggar's purse" was outstanding, and I highly recommend it. However, after our third course, we waited around 45 minutes until we were informed that there was a "back up" in the kitchen, and we decided that we really couldn't wait any longer. My husband cancelled the fourth course and we asked for dessert menus, but those never came. Not seeing our waiter of the next 10 minutes, my husband asked the bus boy for the check. He explained that the manager was going to come speak with us. Another 10 minutes passed, and the manager finally came to our table and attempted to excuse and apologize for the unacceptable delay in our meal. This was the most pathetic appearance by a restaurant manager we had ever witnessed - completely inexcusable for what is supposed to be Park City's #1 restaurant. He hit rock bottom when he suggested that we go ahead and order dessert and then he would see what he could do about our check. Seriously, why would we spend more money at this point at the whim of a manager's lame promise. There are countless ways of how he could have made a bad situation right again, and this was certainly not it. We asked for the check, but as expected, no adjustments had been made. To add insult to injury, they were still trying to charge us for our cancelled fourth course! Overall, what started as a great dinner ended us a complete disaster, and we will certainly not return any time soon. read more

What an amazing dining experience!! We dined with friends who had been here previously. The service was attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu. We have someone in the group with very specific dietary constraints and they were very willing to work with them to adjust the selections o meet their needs. I had the lobster chowder, full of large pieces of lobster. Then I had the sashimi tuna which was outstanding (I almost ordered another plate, it was that good!) then I ordered the sea scallops with were very good as well. My husband ordered the venison filet special which was outstanding (and I typically don't like venison!) Our table could not decide on desert, especially after the way our server talked them all up. So we ordered five desserts to share...and the large French press coffee....the presentation was outstanding and they did not disappoint. My favorite was the Snowball, a flourless chocolate cake covered In whipped cream. We will definitely be returning on future trips! This place is a must, but plan on spending a chunk of change! It will be well worth it, the experience is amazing! read more
