Warning—I Will Never Go Back. This is a difficult review for me. I almost never slam a restaurant with bad reviews, but this is one of those experiences.
This is the second time coming here, first time was great, decor, professional service, and food and presentation were very good. I wrote a glowing review about it.
Tonight we went there with 2 other couples, and dinner was similar in many respects. Each couple had different appetites and whether they drank alcohol or now. Our server was fantastic, she was attentive and elegantly described the menus and dishes. Our table was beautiful. We had a wide variety of drinks, wine and food, all I would rate 5 Stars as well, but when the bill came and they refused to split the bill other than evenly 3 ways. Even though I worked out how much to put on each of our cards, they refused because their policy was that they could only split the check evenly.
One couple only had appetizers and split an entree and no alcohol. Their portion of the bill was only $154 while mine was $323. Forcing them to pay for my much more expensive dinner ruined the mood for all of us.
I ended up paying the entire $725 bill because I did not want to put our friends out, BUT THEY HAVE LOST A CUSTOMER FOR GOOD, I WILL NEVER GO BACK.

My dad and I came here while we were on a father-daughter trip to Zion and Bryce Canyon. From the beginning, all of the staff was very welcoming and inviting. I ordered steak tenderloin, and it was delicious. My dad also ordered a cut of steak that he enjoyed. The carrot side dish and the sweet potato side dish were not my favorite and not what I was expecting. I thought the carrots would be more cooked, and I was not expecting the sweet potato dish to have what seemed to be toasted marshmellow. Nonetheless, the side dishes tasted decent; they were not my personal preferred side dishes. If I was in the area again, I would come to this restaurant as I now have a better idea of what to expect. Overall, it was a pleasurable experience.

We recently dined at Basalt to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish.
When our server first greeted us, he asked if we were celebrating anything. After we told him it was our anniversary, he responded by saying he had already had seven anniversaries that day and sounded irritated by it. That immediately made us feel unimportant and set the tone for the rest of the evening.
We ordered a bottle of wine, which we had to request three separate times to be decanted before it was finally done. When our server later came to apologize for the “delay” on our salad order, we had to inform him that we never ordered salads. About 15 minutes later, another server arrived with a split salad for our table, and when we told him it wasn’t ours, his only response was, “Well, I was told to bring it here.” Our server then returned to clarify and realized we had ordered the crab cake, rushing back to correct the mistake.
While we waited, the manager visited our table to apologize for running out of a steak entrée and offered us an upgraded cut at the same price. The issue? We hadn’t ordered steak at all. She left to figure it out but never circled back with any clarification.
When the crab cake finally arrived, it was over-seasoned, completely overpowering the flavor of the crab. I would not recommend this dish. Later, when our entrées came, my diver scallops were bland and paired with undercooked Brussels sprouts—again, not a dish I would recommend. My husband’s Wagyu steak was fine, but not impressive for the price. The one standout of the meal was the creamed corn side dish, which was truly delicious.
Toward the end of the meal, our server cleared our plates and without asking, brought us a crème brûlée and a lemon cake. Neither was what we would have ordered had we been shown a dessert menu, and both were standard at best. I overheard that several desserts had run out, which explained why we weren’t given a choice.
By the time we finished, the dinner had stretched to two and a half hours, filled with confusion, mistakes, and lackluster food. What was meant to be a special occasion left us disappointed and eager to leave. At one point, while waiting for our appetizers, we debated just paying for the wine and leaving, and in hindsight, we wish we had.
Overall, the service was disorganized, the food inconsistent, and the entire evening fell far below expectations for fine dining. Sadly, we cannot recommend Basalt and will not be returning.

Food was fantastic. I’ve never had funeral potatoes before, so their fancy take on it has me now expecting all funeral potatoes to be as delicious. Our waiter Jonathan did a fantastic job explaining all our meals and making recommendations. Kudos to whoever built up the wine list, had many of my favorite wines. The creme brulee for dessert was great way to end the night. We took the rest of our wine out to enjoy the view on their balcony.

Deliciously fresh food and exceptional service by Jonathan! We loved the Sea Scallops in lobster bisque! And the atmosphere is wonderful with amazing views of Black Desert and Red Mountain!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. We went for our anniversary and not only was the staff so attentive and aware in our celebrations but they brought us out a surprise dessert at the end to help us celebrate as well.
Our waiter (Abe) was one of those fabulous people. He gave great recommendations; some of which I would never have thought to try but I’m so glad I did! We started with the crab cakes. These weren’t my favorite (not the right texture and too fishy for me) but my husband loved them. Next was the watermelon salad. This was a major leap for me and I loved it. It had so many complimenting flavors that worked well together. I do have to say that this salad might not be a win for everyone but I could have ordered this for my main dish and left satisfied:) My husband and I ordered 2 different types of steak: if I remember right he got the ribeye. I ordered the 6oz beef tenderloin. After trying both I’m glad I ordered the tenderloin. Because he’s a blue cheese fan he ordered the blue cheese fondue and loved it. I got the truffle herb butter to go with mine and loved that option. As far as sides go, my one must do is ORDER THE CREAMED CORN! I typically am not drawn this type of side but I was not disappointed. So good! The mashed potatoes weren’t my favorite but my husband really liked them.
By this point we were extremely full but it was our anniversary so we had to get dessert lol:) we opted for something light and I can’t remember what it was called but I’ll post a picture of it for reference. It was super good but if I order this again I’d ask for a side of the raspberry syrup that was on our anniversary dessert and drizzle that on it. I discovered how good that tasted by accident. Hope you enjoy this restaurant as much as we did.

I had a large party of 10 and the staff was very accommodating. The restaurant was busy but with a reservation we got right in. We ordered several of the appetizers and shared them family style. The funeral potatoes were amazing – maybe the best pork belly I’ve ever had. I had seabass and other got steaks and my wife had lamb chops. One of the steaks was a little underdone and was returned and came back out OK. But maybe was the only hitch we had. The fish I had was amazing and I tried the lamb chop and was surprised by the complexity of the flavors, very delicious and interesting. We shared four desserts around the table so I got a bit of each one. The pumpkin butter cake was my favorite followed by the caramel apple or crème brûlée which were both also very good. The staff was very friendly and mostly just kind of stayed in the background as we chatted, which was great from my view. Overall 9.5/10 – I would definitely rate this the best dining experience that there is in St George area. There’s really only a couple of other places that come close but they are more ethnic food oriented.

I’ve been to many fine dining restaurants and I know what great food and service is. This wasn’t it. We had dinner there last night. The atmosphere is nice, and at first the service was fine. We got our appetizers of wedge salad, funeral potatoes and oysters and thought they were quite good. They forgot my drink until I had to remind them, then it was watery and weak. Our entrees of a ribeye steak and scallops came out. My scallops were tasty but my husband had one of the most average ribeyes you could find. You can find better at Texas Roadhouse for much less than the $82 we paid here. For that price you should expect great quality. Then it got near closing time at 10 and they kept asking us if they could take our plates that still had a lot of food we were finishing. We felt rushed so we ended up leaving. No dessert or alcohol and we paid nearly $300. We won’t be going back.

Basalt is easily the best place to eat in Washington county. The service is amazing. They go above and beyond on everything. Our server Mary knew the menu so well it was easy to pick the perfect meal. The food was perfection. They don’t mess around with their steak and the sauce was incredible. I recommend getting everything cooked the chefs way. They know what they’re doing.
