We celebrated our eight year anniversary here tonight and couldn’t have asked for a better meal! Our favorites were the lamb, brussel sprouts salad, cookie butter ice cream, and raclette.

Incredible experience, amazing food! Come hungry. Lots of stations suitable for a wide variety of dietary options, but the highlight is the fire side cheese. Soups, meats and dessert fondue were lovely. Pricey but well worth it!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Fireside Dining, and it was truly unforgettable. From start to finish, everything was meticulously planned and executed, making the month-long wait for our reservation absolutely worth it.

The experience began with an interactive and delightful cheese tasting, featuring perfectly melted selections by the fire. The warmth of the fire paired with the rich, gooey cheese was an indulgent start to the evening.

We then moved on to the second section, where a variety of fire-roasted meats were served. Each bite was incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. It was clear that a lot of care had gone into both the preparation and presentation.

The final section was a culinary highlight. Featuring steak options and lamb cooked to absolute perfection, this course was a testament to the restaurant’s expertise in fine dining. The tender, well-seasoned meats and the overall ambiance created an experience that was nothing short of magical.

The atmosphere of Fireside Dining is as noteworthy as the food itself. Sitting by the fire while enjoying a progression of dishes was not just a meal. It was an experience. The warmth, the cozy setting, and the outstanding service tied everything together seamlessly.

This is one of those rare places where the dining experience feels special, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something unique and memorable. Fireside Dining is not just a restaurant; it’s an adventure for the senses. Five stars!

Visited this lovely establishment on Valentine’s Day for a unique experience. The dining room is log cabin theme with large wood floor to ceiling log decor. Giant fireplaces crackle and soft music is perfectly regulated. Your dining experience is interactive and your attendant guides you through and tells you how to collect your four courses from each of the fireplace stations. This is an exceptional experience, a must try if you are able. The food is Swiss alps fare in nature with carved meats, stews, salads, soups, and dessert. Moderation is a must as there are many delectable treats on offer.

I don’t typically leave reviews, but after leaving feeling more overwhelmed than satisfied — and spending over $350 for two people on dinner — I felt compelled to share what kind of experience this truly is.

We booked Fireside Dining at Deer Valley to celebrate my husband’s birthday, expecting a more intimate, fine-dining experience. When we arrived, we were seated at a beautiful table directly in front of the fireplace and were genuinely pleased. The setting itself is stunning.

The service throughout the evening was very good, and the food itself was also very good — which makes this experience even more frustrating.

Shortly after being seated, the dining room generally became extremely busy and chaotic. The tables on either side of us had multiple children under the age of six who were not well behaved. There were many children running around the dining room, between tables, yelling, crawling around on the floor and grabbing food with their hands directly from the buffet stations. At times, the atmosphere felt more like a crowded buffet or a very expensive Chuck E. Cheese than a refined dining experience.

For $124 per person, especially given the style and quality of the food being offered, we expected a more upscale, adult-leaning environment. This felt closer to a Mandarin-style buffet atmosphere than a fine dining experience, which was incredibly disappointing given the setting and price point.

It’s truly a shame, because the food, service, and space are all excellent. However, if this is intended to be a family-friendly dining experience, that should be communicated more clearly. As it stands, it’s not the intimate or elevated experience we were hoping for — and unfortunately, we couldn’t wait to leave. Wish we could get a refund.

We had planned a sleigh ride afterward as part of my husband’s birthday celebration, but after leaving dinner feeling so overstimulated, we canceled it entirely — which was incredibly disappointing given the intention behind the evening.

A suggestion would be to reserve an area primarily for smaller tables and people wanting a more intimate experience but that wouldn’t change how chaotic it is to walk around to get your food. I was almost plowed down by servers and other guests multiple times.

If you are looking for a deluxe buffet that offers a Swiss Fare cuisine that is away from Main Street eateries where you getting are you will be seated in more of a restaurant atmosphere served at each station with a more decadent option, then this is it. You are at a buffet but you don’t feel as if it is one. You are seated and served your drinks each station offers different options and experiences. You will be served at most stations. The service and experience is top notch and the atmosphere is outstanding. We love the Raclette and the roasted meats options. I think desert could be better options but not bad. I would say to really get your moneys worth go early and take your time. We have been twice so far. This time the food was a bit salty but overall great. Last time there was too many gamey options.
We definitely recommend trying it out. Pricey for a buffet but the quality is worth it.

If you are near dear valley, and you are into food, you should make a reservation at fireside dining with your friends and family.
It was not as nice this year because of the total lack of snow. With snow the atmosphere is absolutely amazing.
Pace yourself there is so much food to try. The service is stellar.

I really enjoyed my experience dining at Fireside tonight. Yes, it’s pricey, and the quality of the food doesn’t *quite* match the dollars on the bill, but you’re also paying for the service and the experience, which were excellent.

Basically, there are 5 different mini buffet stations set up around the Empire Lodge (which is transformed from a crowded mid-mountain ski lodge to the refined Fireside Dining every evening – feat in and of itself) that you are free to graze at your leisure. They are:

-Raclette with accoutrements (4/5)
-Salads and soups (4/5)
-First meats (3/5)
-Second meats (hand-carved lamb and beef) (4/5)
-Dessert fondue (3/5)

Like I said, the food is good, but not amazing. The drinks and the service are very good, though. And I think that those things can often make or break a dining experience.

Some other reviewers mentioned that the raclette was cold when they got it. Mine was still warm and perfectly delightful, if not *quite* as hot as it could have been. But that’s what you get with a buffet – you sacrifice optimal timing for variety.

I would say that everyone should try it for a memorable and enjoyable evening in Park City, but I don’t feel the need to return to Fireside on every ski trip.

I don’t know what the hype is about this place. I finally got a reservation after trying for two years, but it’s definitely not worth the trip and price. Meat was raw, not many options of cheese, fondue table had almost no fruits and appetizers. Main dinner didn’t have good options and I can tell you there are cheaper places in salt lake with better food. If you come for the experience just know the environment and energy of this place were just not it. I wish I could go back time and have my money back. I feel bad dragging family into this too they were all disappointed.
