They were nervous about serving someone with celiac since their kitchen is so small there is a risk of cross contamination. Our server Derek was excellent in asking the chef questions and letting me know what I could have. The food was the best I?ve ever eaten. I had the pork tenderloin with Apple chutney. The sauce was so good, I ate all of it and would buy it if they sold it. They made sure I was taken care of, and I didn?t get sick. Desert Bistro is worth the food and cost.

Although the wine?s name was printed correctly on the bill, the price was higher (fortunately I remembered the price and mentioned it when we got the bill). They quickly apologized and got the correct bill with the excuse that they are frequently changing their wine selection. It didn?t convince me as the wine?s name was correct, just the price was incorrect. Anyways, although they corrected it, it didn?t feel right. The food was good. Make sure you check your bill and enjoy.

Every dish is extremely unique and well thought-out, ingredients are consistently fresh, and everything is perfectly cooked. Fair warning, this place is very popular and reservations book out weeks in advance, but a visit is absolutely worthwhile, and they do have (very limited) walk-in seating.

I ordered the bison filet, and it was melt-in-your-mouth delicious (and I'm very particular about my steak)! The mushrooms and sauce on top made me want to lick the plate clean. My husband opted for the Hawaiian sea bass special, which was light yet very tasty. For my birthday dessert, we enjoyed chocolate cheesecake. We were really pleased with everything, even though we were seated next to a large wedding party that was running late, which threw our server off a bit. I highly recommend requesting a table on the back patio—whether it’s hot or cold outside, the temperature is comfortable, and it’s much less stuffy and crowded than the indoor seating. We made reservations, but we've also successfully walked in after a short wait. This is a fantastic place for a splurge dinner while in Moab!

She knew the menu thoroughly and offered excellent recommendations. We began with the scallop appetizer, which was remarkable. Becca also brought us the freshly made bread, which was perfect and came with a house-made butter, olive relish, and a balsamic/olive oil dipping selection. My wife ordered the agnolotti pasta, while I chose the elk. Both dishes were superb. If I were to return, I would opt for the tenderloin, as it appeared to be a heartier option; the elk was delicious, but the portion was somewhat small. All desserts are made in-house, and we tried the peanut butter and chocolate cheesecake, which was incredibly rich — we could hardly finish it!
