Had Christmas Day brunch here. Great gluten free options. Delicious breakfast sandwich with the local ingredients. Beautiful atmosphere

Husband and I come here every year for the past 3 years. Our stop to spend the night on our way back to California From Montana. What a beautiful property with amazing aroma when you walk in. We have never been to the bar or restaurant UNTIL Today! Our bartender server Seth Rock! Great Recommendations, Best service! Food was Bomb Dot Com. Sadly, my eyes are bigger than my stomach! This Young 5.5 Years Hotel is the best! 10/10! Cant wait come back read more

Food was amazing! Service was fantastic as well. The elk and gnocchi meal was the best.

This amazing restaurant is in the lobby of the Advenire hotel. The lobby is so well decorated, cozy and chic so you just want to hang out. The food was even more amazing. The service was great. The chef himself brought out our food and I loved every bite. We had the roots and orchard, the buttermilk biscuits, the rooted greens and filet mignon. I did wish there was a spring mix with the roots and orchard to make it more of the salad I was expecting but the pistachios beets, raspberry reduction and cheese were an award winning combination. I want to go there for every meal. I can't recommend it enough! read more

Very nice atmosphere and the food was well prepared and delicious! Attentive service as well. read more

We have been to Wood Ash Rye a couple of times, once in April and once last weekend. It's funny because our friends and I absolutely loved the Brussel sprouts the most and that's why we returned. I'm also obsessed with the carrots. They gave me a giant fork to fend off anyone who dared eat my carrots unless I chose to share. (Or was it a serving fork meant to make sharing easier? To-may-to... To-mah-to....) While waiting for the entrees, the bread and biscuits were a treat both times. The biscuits are amazeballs. Straight from my husband's mouth, that is how he describes it. My friends ordered ribs and we also ordered ribs and ended up getting 3 of them. That might have been overkill for the group of 8 of us, so we ended up taking some home. Both times, I ordered the Peruvian chicken with mashed Peruvian potatoes. There's a theme with this dish from Peru and the chimchurri sauce was enjoyable. One of my friends was disappointed with the duck tacos because even though they were explained to be deconstructed tacos when she ordered them, she failed to understand that she'd be putting the tacos together herself. I liked them when I had them in April but this time we had so much food that we ordered that I didn't get it this time. The cocktails are delightful and creative and seem to change with the season perhaps. You have to try at least one each time you go. The desserts were all delicious. A perfect way to end an evening. Each of my friends argued over which one had the best dessert. The ambiance is really fun here. It's like Magnolia meets chic eclectic. Our waitress was hilarious, engaging and did her job so well this past visit. Despite being fancier in some aspects, one of the reasons we also returned was because how well the staff treated us. When we first came in April, we came direct from spending an entire day hiking and climbing, and despite how we appeared, they all treated us so well! They are so friendly and welcoming here and it was one of the few places open late when we finished climbing. We love it here and I've been recommending it to all my friends and patients who come to St. George to come and eat here! read more

Absolutely incredible. The best meal we've had in a long time. Flavors were on point, service was top notch...everything we tried was so good. The pork belly tostadas combined with the elote...I could eat that for every meal. We also had the elk gnocchi and jambalaya...wow wow wow. Incredible. The ambience was a 10/10...A cozy dining room set inside a hotel lobby with an open kitchen so you can watch as the chefs prepare your meal. read more

Everything was delicious, we especially loved the biscuits and the chicken! All around it was a great dining experience.

Not having made reservations in advance and being a single diner, at sat and ate at the bar (same dinner menu). I actually didn't mind, as I was able to have pleasant short conversations with the bartender. The ambiance was upscale, and the food was incredibly tasty. I had the filet mignon, which was served pre-sliced and was amazingly tender and flavorful. I had a side of Brussel sprouts, which came with bacon bits and white cheese, and there was definitely enough for 2-3 people. Overall, the food was pricey, but excellent. Highly recommend making reservations. read more

Great atmosphere. Great service. Great cocktails. Very clean and quiet. We only had an appetizer so I can't properly rates the food but I'll definitely be back. By far the best service we received in this area. Excellent bartenders. A tad pricey considering the location. read more

Last night we had the worst service ever from Miah, from the moment she arrived to our table no smile and cold. We ordered a ribeye and filet was brought to our table. Our drinks were not done right and then corrected. She asked everyone around us about their meal, and never came around to us to ask us. Other staff did, but not Miah. It was a very uncomfortable meal and not enjoyable at all. read more

So far only ordered desserts. We ordered the blueberry peach cobbler. It arrived with ice cream already almost completely melted. Ice cream alone no flavor from the one bite I got that wasn't melted. The cobbler literally tasted like iron and onions and peppers. Worst dessert ever! I'm guessing they serve their hash in the cast iron skillets also cuz that's what it tasted like. We also ordered dark chocolate pistachio tart. Also no flavor and super dry. Severely disappointed especially since it was valentines! Want to try their food to fully give a review. Nervous with how bad the desserts were. read more

The restaurant is really well designed, with attractive decor and a cool vibe. The food is served family style and the menu is abundant. I had a salad, entree and app and the lemonade was like dessert. We enjoyed our meal and our server Miah was great. read more

Came here for mimosas with several other soccer moms on tournament weekend. There's a cozy little corner room off the bar area that was perfect for us, with comfy sofas as well as a dining table. The drinks were slow (we had been warned by staff but weren't in a hurry) but delicious. The fancy fries and avocado toast were fabulous! Service staff were very friendly and accommodating. read more

Service and biscuits were great. The Elotes dish I think missed the mark. It had like 8-10 chips which wasn't anywhere close to enough for the dish. It also had a bunch of large corn nuts on top begging for a dental appointment. read more

30 dollars for a burger is laughable. I didn't pay that in LA. I went there on a Wednesday so take this with a grain of salt. They were out of wings at 6:30pm. The bread was not very good. My wife's bread maker does a better job. Tried the chicken fries next. So salty I couldn't believe it. Terrible. The chicken wasn't good at all and my co worker and I both had stomach pain n issues the next day. Can't say for sure it was the chicken but logic suggests so. If you're going to charge that much at least deliver on the food. read more

We were excited when we first saw this restaurant and menu. The ambiance was nice, though we were sat in some sort of purgatory area halfway between the lobby and seating area, meaning we weren't visible to our waitress. We ordered four items off the menu: the bread, the Caesar, the veggies, and the street corn. All of which were some of the worst dishes I have ever paid for. The bread tasted like one of those take and bake loafs that hadn't been reheated. The Caesar had brown, oxidized leaves and a tasteless dressing. The street corn was greasy, soupy, and filled with hard kernels. The veggie dish didn't come but we were served a beet dish that had some weird jam on the inside. Not a good combo. The service was perplexing. We had one waitress that took our order and gave us the check, but had a different wait staff deliver each dish. None asked how they were or if we needed anything. The only bright side were the drinks. read more

Great meal, great service, great atmosphere! Stopped in for dinner while on vacation. A little tough to find but got a parking space on the street. Our friends ended up valeting. Everything was fantastic but the highlight for me was the gnocchi. We eat gnocchi weekly in my house and it might have been the best I've ever had. Don't skip on the dessert it was great too! read more

Wow. In the words of my husband, "anyone who questions or dislikes the food should be checked for mental illness" PERIOD. Food was out of this world! For a tiny place like St. George it's shocking it's here! The vibes are immaculate, music was perfect (temptations, Sade, Steve lacy, Michael Jackson, etc OKAY!), ambiance is there. In order of favorite to also favorite: - Brussels, the flavor was excellent, we get Brussel sprouts at every restaurant and they have NEVER been as good as these. - pork chops, insanely tender, as if steak and chicken had a baby. - filet mignon, chimmichurri was excellent as was the cut of steak and the steak was practically butter - biscuits, wow. PERIOD - winter greens, my husband who hates salad was even blown away. The greens were so tender and fresh and it had the perfect toppings, I would've loved a little flaky sea salt but otherwise amazing. - potato Saint, not my favorite, but my husband was obsessed! For me I just wish they were creamier! To add we also got the desert switcha and the house lemonade. So delicious and great palate cleanser! All of that food was only $150.. um HELLO! In this economy?? Felt like I was dining and dashing. Literally only complaint is the chairs. Not super comfy but does it even matter once the food comes?? This will hold a special place for us for sure! Can't wait to go back! read more

Since Wood Ash Rye has recently changed the head chef and menu, I have to say the food earns an A+. Everything is prepared fresh and tastes incredible. As someone with celiac disease, I was especially impressed by how knowledgeable and reassuring the head chef was about avoiding cross-contamination. Many items on the menu are naturally gluten-free, which makes sharing dishes, just as the menu intends, feel much more accessible, even with a strict gluten intolerance. Celiac or not, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the St. George area! read more

Hidden with a hotel and honestly an amazing food by the chefs. The pork belly watermelon is truely the best off the menu.

This place was awesome and I don't know why it's not got 5 stars! We came to St George quite late in the day and it was cold and not super welcoming, so we were super grateful to find that the staff in Wood Ash Rye were warm, welcoming and friendly. They laughed at our strange English comments and were happy to recommend dishes. The atmosphere was great. It's almost Tudor in its wooden design and we loved how there was an open kitchen and a part of the restaurant which was raised up a few steps. The tables were slightly spread out so it felt private. The menu was very uniquely designed. We shared a few dishes when we came for our evening meal, the stand outs of these being the Brussel sprouts (literally the best I have ever tried) and the pork bao buns. Their home-baked bread was also a standout. I liked that it was an almost tapas experience as it allowed us to share and be more adventurous. We came back a few days later for breakfast and it was similarly excellent. The staff were kind enough to let me take a work call from their hotel space, and the breakfast offerings were delicious. I had their cereal bowl, which was fresh and tart, and my husband enjoyed a more savoury egg dish. I can't remember the specifics but he commented on how the potatoes which came with it were very good. read more

The food here is delicious! Cooked perfectly & seasoned very well! Catch them early or in the evening! I took another trip back & they were closed. They take a break between 2 pm & 5 pm, I believe? If ever I'm back in St George.... read more

My 5 star rating here is based primarily on the food which is top notch and arguably, the best St. George has to offer. It's family style and we were in a large group so just ordered 2 of everything on the menu. While none of these dishes disappointed, I felt like the carrots and strip steak were standouts. Service was friendly, if a bit chaotic. We waited a very long time before drink orders were taken and they took a long time to be delivered. From where we were sitting, there was a good view of the bar and the bartender seemed more interested in chatting than making drinks. The atmosphere was comfortable, intimate and upscale and the prices do reflect that but we felt it was well worth it and will return the next time we're in town. Looking forward to trying their brunch as well. read more

We planned our Winter/Christmas break vacation in Southern Utah. This is our 4th time in Utah this year. We were meeting friends who live here for our Christmas dinner. We knew many services & restaurants would not be open on Christmas day. One of our friends found that Wood Ash Rye would be open on Christmas day. The website wasn't clear about reservations. My friend, who lives in Utah called and was told that they aren't taking reservations. This was in November. The next week, I called. I spoke to a lady, and she simply said, "We aren't taking reservations." I specifically asked if they were super busy on Christmas and she answered that she didn't know. I also said, if we arrive right at 5:00, when they opened, then we could probably get a table., and she said yes. When we arrived, just before 5:00, we were told that without a reservation, we could not be seated. Why did the restaurant personnel that we spoke to, in either of 2 phone calls, state that they DO take reservations?? We could have been on a wait list, or known ahead of time that they would be full?? We would have simply made other plans. Scrambling at the last minute, even our Utah friends had a hard time finding an open table. Over a month prior, this is exactly what we had wanted to avoid. The phone policy at Wood Ash Rye is an extremely poor management practice. We certainly won't be trying again. read more

The ideas guy for this place is writing checks the staff can't cash. It's a really lovely menu that sounds like it belongs to some elegant place in a big city. At least for the lunch service, it didn't live up to the fine dining pretensions or prices. We asked what fruit was in the "house fruited lemonade." The waiter said "it's just a fruit syrup." "Yeah, WHAT KIND OF FRUIT?" He seemed flummoxed by the question -- not just that he didn't know the answer, but that he didn't understand why anyone would care. "Um, I think it's strawberries or cherries?" No thanks, I actually want to know what I'm getting. Several of our dishes -- notably the pancakes -- sat visibly waiting for the waitstaff under the lights for way too long, even though the restaurant was empty when we came in. The croque madame was the most successful dish. The over easy eggs were just right. Serving it on a tiny plate without any sides or even an orange slice wasn't so gracious, but there wasn't anything wrong with the preparation. The brisket hash came with delightful crispy potatoes. But the brisket pieces at the bottom of the pile were in some kind of orange grease that was painfully salty. The blue corn pancakes supposedly came with "grade A maple syrup." But what came was fake syrup, not maple syrup. If it's maple flavored corn syrup, you're lying when you say "maple syrup" on the menu. Maybe the staff doesn't know the difference. The shaved "prime rib" sandwich was...well, look at it. More like shreds of stir-fried beef. Philly steak, maybe. It tasted pleasant, but not at all what was promised. We would never have ordered this if we knew what we were getting. I'd rather see a hotel restaurant serve what it is capable of doing well -- even if that's short-order eggs. read more

This is simply a marvelous restaurant located in downtown St. George in a boutique hotel. I've been to St. George many times. The food in this city here is good, but mostly catered to quality fast casual food. I was very much surprised by the quality of the food here. Jessie was our waitress and she provided amazing service. Was very good at suggesting dishes to eat and drinks. Very friendly and helpful with suggesting things to do after dinner in the area. I ordered the New York strip steak, which was the best steak I have had in a restaurant in several years. It was perfectly cooked, medium rare, with plenty of flavor from the sauces and salt. Prime, high quality US beef with lots of marbling. I was very impressed with the steak. Frankly, you can eat better steaks here than Fleming's/Mastros. I also loved my rye drink that was smoked. The best appetizer were these potatoes that were cooked on an iron skillet with chipotle sauce, pork belly and Serrano. It was fantastic, spicy, and an incredible start to dinner. You must also try the dulce de Leche Panna Cotta. Best texture, flavor, I've had in Panna Cotta. The kitchen does really good work here. I live in SoCal, am a foodie, and eat at a lot of very good restaurants. This would be one of the better restaurants if placed in Orange County/LA/San Diego. Reminded me of a really good farm to table American restaurant. This is, in my opinion the best restaurant in Southern Utah. Recommend eating here and enjoying some good steak and appetizers. As others pointed out the dishes are meant to be shared. Portions are perfect. We also ordered papperdelle pasta which was house made and tasted amazing. There was nothing I ate here that I did not like. There is only one thing that I would change at this restaurant. The lighting. It's too bright, and reminds you that your in a hotel. I would strongly suggest dimming the lights about 50-70% in the restaurant and in the bar area and adding candles in each table. This is a big quality restaurant and the ambiance should compliment the luxurious of the food and setting. Other than that, no complaints. Will come again when I come back to St. George. read more

A great meal including steak, smoked chicken, lamb, stir fry, grilled veggies, etc. what a great place! read more

Wood Ash Rye - A busy cooking station on a Saturday evening. - New American Near Me - St. George, Utah

I keep forgetting to write a review for them... I believe this is my 4th time there. Environment: 5 It is always very put together and I think it is perfect for the restaurant located inside a more modern and high-end hotel. Decor is perfect. Service: 5 The first 2 times I was at the bar and the last 2 times I was seated inside the restaurant. Each time, I received great services. Very professional. Food: 5 I had breakfast food twice, I had their stick and eggs once and the french toast once. Both are very good. I can not remember what I had for lunch. But this time I went for dinner, I ordered the potatoes and the Trout. It was so good. They added a little heat to the fish. It works very well. My favorite part? I had their keylime pie a d their homemade ice cream... the ice cream is a must! Efficiency: 5 When I eat at a high-end place, I am not expecting the food to come out like an Asian restaurant (I am Asian, so I know). The food always comes at the proper timing. Average total: 5 stars. If you are in St George, you must stop by and give it a try. read more

Best pizza around! Fresh ingredients and unique combinations. Warm ambience inside and out. Must go if you're in Los Gatos!

Was absolutely amazed! Started with the best biscuits I have ever had from a restaurant! Next was tender elk over hand made gnocchi in a delicious sauce. The French potatoes were great and the jambalaya was to die for. It was my birthday today and was served a amazing banana bread pudding. The only down side was realizeing we fly home tomorrow and didn't find this place till today. The wait staff were so friendly. Love the ambiance, buchie without being pretentious. The open kitchen was cool, love seeing the chefs at work. Thanks for the great experience! read more

Food: cooked with love and joy and you can taste it. Unique pairings of ingredients. We stayed in town 2 days and ate here for all our meals because we wanted to try everything. Chefs and staff: thank you. You rock. We love this place and wish we lived here. We'd be weekly patrons. If we visit from Michigan again you will see us here. (Side note: this is a shared dining meaning you order whatever you want and you share it among yourselves. I love this approach to food. And breakfast/brunch here is just as good as the dinner so come for either or both) Service: is friendly and warm. Incredibly fast with refills and food delivery. Ambiance: is funky and homey. Like grandmas kitchen if grandma was cool, trendy and full of good vibes. Located In The Advenire Hotel close to all the shops. Special note: the chef sent over a dish for us to try with his compliments. It was so thoughtful and very on brand for how we have watched this restaurant function. The drinks are also very very good so pair a cocktail or mocktail with your shareable dining experience but do not miss out on this lovely establishment. Still reading?? Don't miss the biscuits. read more

There's so much to Like about this restaurant! The food is delicious the service was excellent. The entertainment is really good. Jake, who plays guitar in the lobby is an added benefit. My one and only complaint is that when you walk into the lobby there is an overwhelming scent of pine that permeates throughout the lobby the restaurant and bar area. unfortunately, it made it difficult to enjoy the experience. Hopefully they can get rid of their "signature scent" and make it breathable for everybody involved. Thank you Laurie Nowak read more
