Glitretind Restaurant

Book the Window Table First, Then Plan Everything Else

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, 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, 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.

What You're Coming Back For

Glitretind's menu is built around regional American ingredients, Rocky Mountain elk, Pacific seafood, locally sourced produce, 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, 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, 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.

The Bar and Counter Angle

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, 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.

Practical Details

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. Chef Jon Miller leads the kitchen; General Manager Jason Berrett oversees operations.

How It Compares

See the comparison section below for how Glitretind stacks up against Riverhorse Cafe, Yuta, High West Distillery & Saloon, and other Park City options.

For similar American Mountain dining in other regions, Blackberry Mountain in Walland and Granite Lodge in Philipsburg are worth knowing. If the wine program at Glitretind prompts broader exploration, our full Park City wineries guide and our full Park City bars guide cover the region in depth.

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 top 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.
