Located in the gorgeous Dakota Mountain Lodge at The Canyons resort, this is the “sister” restaurant to San Francisco’s Spruce. As with the California version, everything about Park City’s Spruce is first-class. A long white Carrera marble bar and Baccarat crystal chandeliers greet customers as they make their way to a dining room bordered with chocolate-colored mohair walls and faux ostrich-covered chairs. Chef Mark Sullivan’s menu features an extensive cheese and charcuterie selection (a good place to start), along with temptations such as his foie gras torchon with macerated and preserved nectarines, sweetbreads Lyonnais, honey-lacquered duck breast, olive oil-poached wild salmon, and grilled bavette steak. A superbly well-thought-out wine selection puts Spruce in a class of its own.
