Glitretind
Chef Zane Holmquist heads a talented crew that knows what to do with the best ingredients available in Utah. Truffle mascarpone enhances butternut squash soup, while Hudson Valley foie gras comes with tellicherry peppercorns and red flame grape compote. Pastry Chef Raymond Lammers does wonders with an Indonesian spice cake and curry ice cream. Sunday jazz brunch is big hit. Stein Eriksen Lodge, Deer Valley, Park City, 435/649-3700, www.steinlodge.com. $$$$

Snake Creek Grill
A bit of the Old West was transformed into this lively and rustic American restaurant by Barb and Michael Hill, where the babyback ribs, fresh seafood and zesty salads are among the hearty pleasures. Also among the favorites here are salmon cakes, sublime macaroni-and-cheese and cornmeal-crusted red trout. For a final touch, try the black-bottom banana cream pie or the warm peach-blueberry crisp. 650 W. 100 South, Heber City, 435/654-2133. $$

The Tree Room
At the Tree Room, Chef Jason Knibb heads a young, talented staff that turns out meals to match the casual western glitz of this model resort. Current favorites include seared foie gras with rhubarb-strawberry compote, wood-grilled buffalo tenderloin and a rabbit duo-roulade and shoulder tart. Look for fresh combinations of game, seafood and local products and perhaps an occasional fresh filmmaker. A warm and satisfying destination for winter dining. Sundance, North Fork Provo Canyon, 801/223-4200, www.sundanceresort.com. $$$$
