Restaurant in Park City, United States
Mountain views, serious wine list, book ahead.
Glitretind Restaurant at the Forbes Five-Star Stein Eriksen Lodge is Park City's most credentialed resort dining room, with a 20,000-bottle cellar, twice-yearly menus built around Rocky Mountain ingredients, and Wasatch Mountain views worth booking a window seat for. At the $$$ tier with a Google rating of 4.4 across 290 reviews, it justifies the spend for a special-occasion dinner — book four to six weeks out during ski season.
If you've eaten at Glitretind once, you already know the room earns its reputation. The advice for your next visit is specific: request a window seat when you reserve, and book further out than you think you need to. This is a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star property restaurant at a lodge that draws destination diners from across the Mountain West, and the dining room fills accordingly. Call directly to make the reservation — that's the only booking channel confirmed in the data — and if you're visiting during ski season or a Park City holiday weekend, treat your reservation timeline as you would any other hard-to-book mountain resort dining room: four to six weeks is not excessive.
Glitretind's menu is built around regional American ingredients , Rocky Mountain elk, Pacific seafood, locally sourced produce , and it changes completely twice a year, so a return visit reliably offers new territory. The kitchen's approach skews hearty and grounded rather than architectural: dishes like elk tenderloin with Tuscan kale and cranberry chutney, or black cod with parsnip purée and citrus oil, deliver substantive flavor combinations without overworking the plate. For returning guests, the dessert program is worth re-examining , the s'mores construction with graham cracker semifreddo, house-made marshmallows, and hot fudge is the kind of thing that reads as a gimmick but holds up in execution.
The wine program is a genuine reason to return. Wine Director Jim Dahlgren oversees a list of 2,340 selections and a cellar of 20,000 bottles, with particular depth in California, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Rhône, Champagne, Oregon, and Italy. Pricing sits at the $$$ tier, meaning expect many bottles above $100, but corkage is available at $25 per bottle if you're bringing something from a trip to a winery. For a mountain resort restaurant, this is a serious list , not a token effort at a ski lodge.
Glitretind's setting inside the Stein Eriksen Lodge gives it a different energy from downtown Park City restaurants. The alpine fireplace backdrop and Wasatch Mountain views make bar and lounge seating a practical choice even if you're not after a full dinner. The restaurant runs a light snack service from 3 to 6 p.m. between lunch and dinner, which creates a low-commitment entry point: order from the bar, watch the slopes in winter or the mountain air in summer, and decide whether you want to extend into dinner. For a solo diner or a pair not ready to commit to a full $$$ meal, this window is the smartest use of the room.
The kitchen operates from 7 a.m. through 9 p.m. daily: breakfast runs 7 to 11 a.m., lunch 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., snacks 3 to 6 p.m., and dinner from 6 to 9 p.m. Dinner pricing sits at $$$ (two courses, excluding drinks, comes in above $66 per person). The dress code is casual and mountain-appropriate , no need to pack a jacket. The staff accommodates dietary restrictions and substitutions; servers introduce dishes at the table. Google reviewers rate the restaurant 4.4 out of 5 across 290 reviews, which is a consistent signal for a property restaurant at this price tier. Chef Jon Miller leads the kitchen; General Manager Jason Berrett oversees operations.

For context on where Glitretind sits in the wider fine dining conversation, the benchmark properties are restaurants like The French Laundry in Napa and Single Thread Farm in Healdsburg at the leading of the American tasting-menu tier, or Le Bernardin in New York City for seafood depth. Glitretind is not competing in that format , it's a full-day à la carte mountain resort restaurant with a serious wine program and Forbes Five-Star credentials, which is a different and defensible category. See also Lazy Bear in San Francisco, Alinea in Chicago, and Emeril's in New Orleans for other American dining reference points worth knowing.

Book four to six weeks out for dinner during ski season or holiday weekends. The restaurant sits inside a Forbes Five-Star lodge and draws destination diners, so the dining room fills well in advance. Shoulder-season visits give you more flexibility, but a week or two of lead time is still advisable for dinner. The 3–6 p.m. snack window between lunch and dinner is the lowest-friction entry point if you arrive without a reservation.
The menu changes twice a year, so specific dishes shift, but the kitchen consistently delivers on Rocky Mountain proteins and Pacific seafood. Past menus have featured elk tenderloin with cranberry chutney and black cod with parsnip purée , both are representative of the kitchen's style. The dessert program is worth committing to: the s'mores semifreddo is a better execution than the concept suggests. Ask the sommelier for a wine pairing recommendation; with 2,340 selections and real depth in Burgundy, California, and Rhône, the list rewards engagement.
Yes , the staff is noted for patience with substitutions and accommodating dietary needs. Servers introduce dishes and ingredients at the table, which makes it practical to flag restrictions in the moment. The menu typically includes at least one vegetarian option alongside the meat and seafood-focused mains. If your dietary requirements are specific, call ahead when you reserve rather than waiting until you arrive.
Glitretind's format inside the Stein Eriksen Lodge includes a light snack service from 3 to 6 p.m., which effectively creates a bar-adjacent experience between the lunch and dinner services. This is the leading seat in the house for solo diners or couples who want the mountain views and wine list without the full $$$ dinner commitment. The fireplace-and-alpine-view setting makes bar seating a genuine option rather than a fallback.
The restaurant operates inside a full-service Five-Star lodge, which typically means private dining options exist for larger parties , but confirm directly when you call to reserve, as specific private room details are not confirmed in our data. For groups of six or more, call well ahead; the dining room books hard during peak ski season and group reservations require more lead time than standard tables.
Yes, and it's better suited to occasions where setting and wine matter as much as food execution. The Forbes Five-Star credentials, the 20,000-bottle cellar, the mountain views, and the full-day service format make it a strong choice for milestone dinners, anniversary trips, or any occasion that benefits from a room with genuine atmosphere. Request a window table when you book , watching skiers on the slopes in winter or the Wasatch range in summer meaningfully improves the experience.
For a different atmosphere at a similar price tier, Yuta offers an American steakhouse format downtown. Apex is worth considering if you want modern American cooking without the resort-hotel context. If you want to spend less, High West Distillery & Saloon delivers a strong gastropub experience at a significantly lower price point and is notably easier to book. La Stellina is the call if you want Italian rather than American mountain cuisine. See our full Park City restaurants guide for the complete picture.
It works well for solo diners, particularly during the 3–6 p.m. snack service or at dinner with a seat near the bar or window. The $$$ price tier is real , a solo dinner with wine adds up , but the full-day service format gives you options to calibrate spend. The staff's attentiveness (noted for patience and dish introductions) translates well to solo dining, and the wine list rewards the kind of exploratory ordering that solo diners can do without negotiating with a table.

A quick look at how Glitretind Restaurant measures up.
Groups are manageable here given the full-service setup inside the Stein Eriksen Lodge, but call ahead directly to discuss seating configurations. At $$$ pricing per person for dinner, factor the total spend into your planning. The patient, substitution-friendly service style makes this easier for larger parties with varied preferences.
Yes, and this is one of the restaurant's more practical strengths. Staff are trained to accommodate allergies and dietary requests, and servers introduce ingredients and preparation at the table, which helps guests with restrictions ask informed questions. The menu reliably includes at least one vegetarian option alongside the meat and seafood focus.
The menu changes completely twice a year, so specific dishes shift by season. Historically the kitchen has leaned into Rocky Mountain proteins and Pacific seafood as the backbone of mains. Ask your server what changed most recently — the staff are well-briefed and willing to walk you through the current lineup.
For a livelier downtown atmosphere at a lower price point, Riverhorse Cafe is the closest comparable in reputation. High West Distillery and Saloon works well if you want a more casual setting with a strong spirits focus. Powder at Deer Valley skews more resort-formal and is worth comparing if you're deciding between ski lodge dining options.
Yes — the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating, the mountain-view dining room with alpine fireplaces, and the 20,000-bottle wine cellar all point toward this being a reliable choice for a milestone dinner. Request a window table when booking to get the full effect. At $$$ per head for dinner, it delivers the setting and service level a special occasion requires.
The venue data does not confirm a dedicated bar dining setup. Given the lodge-hotel setting, your best approach is to call Stein Eriksen Lodge directly to ask about counter or bar seating options before assuming availability.
Book as early as possible, particularly for ski season weekends and the dinner window starting at 6 p.m. The Forbes Five-Star status and mountain-view window tables fill on demand. The restaurant advises calling directly to secure a reservation. For breakfast or a weekday lunch, lead time requirements are likely shorter, but confirm when you call.
