The food here was phenomenal. Truly delicious and unique for a ski area in my opinion. The only thing I wish could have been different was the seating. We sat in a booth and it was very hard to get into and felt a little tight. If you can request to sit at a table and not a booth it... More

We knew this was a pricey place before we got there. And the prices were there for all to see on the menu. Our beef, no pun intended, had to do with the lavishly proclaimed "Specials". We opted for the Wagyu beef (a standard item for $33) and the Bison special. Now, when you're having a special-occasion meal and the... More

I had the most delicious meal of my week long stay at snowbird. I do wish the prices were more reasonable. In all fairness though the prices are not out of line with the restaurants at snowbird or Alta.

I visited Shallow Shaft following my read of positive tripadvisor reviews and my desire to find a mountain alternative. It was a short taxi ride out of snowbird into Alta. The restaurant is located in an old woody lodge which had a warm feel to it. The food was tasty and the service was impeccable. I went for the ribs... More

Instead of going into detail, I can simply say that the Shallow Shaft is the best restaurant in Little Cottonwood Canyon and when I visit Snowbird/Alta, I eat here at least once if not more. Don't miss it.

Visited the Shallow Shaft Restaurant with a group of friends while on a ski holiday in Snowbird. We were staying at The Cliff Lodge, so we had to ride a shuttle up to the restaurant, just a 5-10 minute ride. I would rate the food and service between very good and excellent, certainly the best in the Snowbird area. Menu... More

My girlfriend and I went out to dinner at The Shallow Shaft Restaurant. Our dinning experience was excellent. The staff's knowledge of the menu and wine list was very helpful. Our server was very helpful and entertaining. The food was amazing and we had a little bit of everything! If you are staying up in Little Cottonwood Canyon or even... More

The fact that you are referencing Trip Advisor indicates you care about where you eat. Shallow Shaft is a high quality establishment that provided my wife and I an excellent experience in our recent visit. The restaurant is, in a mountain kind of way, a romantic setting while maintaining a casual atmosphere. The salad was fresh and crisp, the entrées... More

After reading all the positive reviews on this place, it was easy to pick this as one of our meals while at Snowbird. The reviews are ALL spot on too! Sitting just upstream from Snowbird and overlooking the slopes of Alta, the Shallow Shaft looks like an old mining shaft from the outside, and lots of mining pictures and tools... More
