Seafood Buffet

Awesome!!! Our third year to include this on our dinner itinerary. We had 14 people including 8 kids. They welcomed our group and the service was spot on even for our large group. The good was great. Everyone found something they loved even the younger kids.

The fresh oysters, crab legs, and poke are all incredible quality as if dining on the coast. Don’t skip the Deer Valley cheese and crackers… Or dessert. Save lots of room for dessert!
Just plan on slipping into a blissful food coma after leaving Seafood Buffet. It’s that good!

Unfortunately I was underwhelmed by the seafood buffet after seeing so many raving reviews on Unilocal.It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why, but I think everything was just mediocre for the price point. I’d say $ 45 – 50 would be reasonable, but $ 68 seemed a bit steep. However they do offer no corkage fee on your first bottle of wine, and $ 20 thereafter.
The primary reason I was not impressed is the food. Nothing particularly stood out as super fresh or delicious. My favorites were the clams and the duck. However the poke was over seasoned/​salted, the crab was bland and dry, and everything else was forgettable.
The décor seemed a bit tired. It was cozy and classic, but you could just tell that everything was just aged and dingy. The service was pretty good. They were very attentive, warned our crab legs, were timely with clearing our plates, and overall very friendly.

Went here with my girlfriend to celebrate our anniversary. So many selections and they have the best seafood in Utah. Everything tasted fresh out the water! Preordered a whole lobster as well for an additional $ 20 and it tasted so fresh. It is well worth the price for all you can eat crabs, clams, oysters, shrimp, mussels, fish, bbq, etc. I will have to come back again definitely. Excellent service as well, it was a great experience!

If you like seafood, you HAVE to go to the Seafood Buffet. It’s well worth your money. It’s all you can eat crab, shrimp, mussels, ahi tuna, poke, and every other fish you can think of. They also have an awesome cheese and fruit bar, as well as ribs and other assorted meats. Everything is top quality, the service is outstanding, and the whole experience is awesome. Just splurge and go once this winter season, you won’t regret it.

I really wanted to like this place as I love buffets and I love seafood but I have to say that for the money, it’s just not a place I can recommend.
The good:
–everyone is very friendly. Howard was our waiter and he was exceptional as was everyone from the hostesses to the chefs, etc.
–King crab legs were great as was the peel and eat shrimp if a little laborious. Pro tip-​they will steam your king crab legs if you like them warm
–prime rib at the carving station was great as were the salads
–the desserts were fantastic and we had seconds of baklava, panna cotta among others. Wide selection and really delicious and I’m not a dessert person
The bad:
–the sushi was truly disgusting. The rice was not edible. Please get a real sushi chef bc what you are calling sushi is laughable
–oysters were meh and I’m an oyster person
–dungeness crabs were tasteless
There were other stations that we didn’t get to bc we overloaded on the best parts (king crab and shrimp) but I can’t say it’s worth $ 64 per person and wouldn’t recommend to my friends.

We had a great dinner and it was fun for the family. Theere were a few dishes that were standouts, the Branzino and the snow crab were great. The desserts were why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars, but overall a good time.

Great seafood for the mid west I suppose. What are you paying for the ambiance? The setting is an old ski lodge with dinged up furniture. Wait until Vail ups the game in park city .
The dungeness crab was tasteless and obviously frozen. The sushi was down right terrible, bad fish and dry rice. Who made it smiths grocery store.
Stale crackers with smoked salmon — nice touch.
Tasteless mushy scallops, fishy tasting sable fish, but the Seared tuna was worthwhile.
The steamed clams were full of sand. You might want to soak those in water a bit.
B
the desserts are excellent and this is why I gave this review 2 stars.
Deer valley runs on a very dated model. This place looks like a dive compared to any
resort at whistler.

The food is so fresh and has a lot of variety. Although the place is a little pricy, it is still worth giving it a try!

Total glutton behavior should be a prerequisite for reservations here. There is SO MUCH GOOD FOOD! From the fresh crab to the oysters, the prime rib to the shrimp, sushi and seared tuna… its all delectable. Then you move on to the desserts. Truffles, pies, cakes, crème brûlée… its all here. Its definitely an experience!
The service I have had here has been great. I had some reservations about it after reading others reviews, but I am happy to say that my experience was great! They were very attentive and kept our table clear of old plates. For the amount of empties we had, the staff must have been chameleons because I rarely noticed the plates disappearing.
I can honestly say that I put on 4 – 5 pounds with this visit. I’m only allowed to come once a year…

Omg be prepared to eat. This is a buffet done right. I am an oyster snob and these were Devine. The prime rib is amazing. The service is friendly and efficient. Not the kind of place you would frequent but great as a treat after a long day of skiing.

One of the best meals I’ve had in a while. Everything here was super fresh. There were two types of crab legs, two types of oysters, shrimp, mussels, clams, etc with all the fixings. Every piece of seafood I had was fresh and of very high quality.
The hot options were good as well. I tried the prime rib and duck breast, which were both excellent and served by a friendly chef at the carving station. I also had the baby back ribs, which were tender and tasty. The only mild disappointment was the crab donuts, which is ironic because that’s what our waiter highlighted when going over the selection.
The wine options here are interesting. First of all each table can bring a bottle and have free corkage on the first bottle. I didn’t know about this in advance, but it’s a nice service to offer. We ordered a wine from the list, and there were a few reasonably priced options — a pleasant surprise considering the surroundings.
I was too full to enjoy any of the dessert choices, but they looked good. Instead I had some berries: strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. Once again everything was very fresh, high quality, and delicious.
Service at the buffet is friendly and professional all around. I would definitely go back!

After coming here almost every winter season for the last 8 years, I have to say this is my favorite place to eat all seafood (if I’m willing to spend +$ 100). For me, it’s like a little Bellagio buffet. Yes, it’s expensive, but the quality of the food is great and the Deer Valley service is outstanding, as usual.
The dishes I would highly recommend are the sablefish, the ahi tuna, king crab legs, poke salad, mussels, duck breast… And dessert. There is a wide variety to please anyone’s sweet tooth! My favorites to always have are the panna cotta, chocolate snowball and Baileys cheesecake if they have them.
Dressing up is not s must, but I always do as it is part of the fun. The crowd is full of people in jeans, ski outfits, dressy pants and dresses, so everyone is welcomed. There is a coat check at the front, but you don’t need to check your coat (I always hang it from my chair). Ice tea/​water is free, everything else is extra. Coffee is always good with the dessert!
Looking forward to my visit next year to keep up with my tradition :)

We come here every year and this year the price went up to $ 64/​per person and the service has gotten worse. I stacked 4 plates high since they didn’t come and check on us and our table was so small there was no room to put them. They didn’t come fill our drinks. This all put a bad taste in my mouth.
We also picked a very busy night to come here as we found out there is a Ski competition on the hill at this time of night. Parking was difficult to find.
Food was pretty good, some things were bland and cold while others were superb, for instance the sablefish, scallops, halibut, duck, prime rib, pork ribs, oysters, French cheeses, pickled herring, smoked salmon. The desserts were overly sweet and normally I never complain about a great tasting dessert.
I hope we just came on a bad night, as this is a great place for seafood in Utah.

Ok, you’re in deer Valley, you’re living large, you’re in an upscale resort and feeling good about yourself –you should go to the seafood buffet.
We typically indulge in this feast sometime between Christmas and New Year’s. You better make your dinner reservation well in advance — this is a popular dining venue.
Everything is fresh, everything is delicious and it’s an all you can eat buffet. It’s difficult to decide what to start with. Do you want the wedge of lettuce or should you move right into the shrimp cocktail or are you feeling an Asian flair and begin your meal with sushi? Before you dive into your main course you may want to sample some of the muscles, clams or even ribs and sliders.
When you’re ready for the main course, look at the seared Ahi or maybe the Ono. There are typically three or four varieties of fresh fish. Take a break from all the seafood and try beef prime rib and breast of duck. Plus all the side dishes are amazing, lobster pasta, rice, fingerling potatoes — the list goes on and on.
After you’ve made several trips to the food bars, it’s time for your dessert. A wonderful selection of chocolates, pies and cakes. My favorite was the Snowball, a chocolate mocha cake covered in whipped cream, made to look like a snowball — moist, rich and delicious.
They offer a full bar, but it is Utah, so I suggest you bring in your own selection of wines to accompany your dinner. With a nominal corkage fee this make sense most of us. Keep in mind that In Utah, it’s not strange for restaurant patrons to bring in their own bottle of wine.
I encourage you to splurge and enjoy this decadent meal when you’re in Park city this winter.
Salute!

Amazing. Our party of 7 enjoyed a 3 hour dining experiences indulging in endless crab legs, scallops, oysters, etc. There wasn’t anything that I personally tried, that I didn’t love. The poke was fabulous, clams and shrimp were great as were the fresh oysters. But the show stopper… those damn crab legs! We ate and ate and ate. Once all of the shells and lemon and butter were wiped from our mouths, hair, pants and shirts, we sat in a state of pure, gut-​busting bliss.
Our server, Laurie, made the entire evening, even more perfect. She, and the entire service team, work seamlessly with one another. We were treated to fresh, warm towels throughout our meal and our water glasses never empty. I couldn’t have asked for better service; definitely in line with my expectations for a Deer Valley experience.
In my opinion, the price is right on with the level of service and the quality and freshness and the offerings.
I cannot wait to go back next season!

I have been here twice and it was fantastic both times.
The variety of food and quality was excellent and the service was good. reservations is a must and on some weeks it is hard to get in here as some people really stay all night to get their moneys worth as there is no set time to leave.
Most of the food offerings were very good and the deserts were outstanding. The only complaint I had was their sushi was not that good. I really love sushi and tried all of them here and pretty much had a thumbs down on all of them.
It is easy to over eat here, so definitely save room for desert or start with desert first (hey there are no rules here).

Delicious! If you are into seafood or delicious food in general, this place is definitely worth the occasional splurge.
The food here is well prepared. It tends to focus on american cuisine (with the exception of some sushi). The quality of the seafood they bring in is fantastic. The shrimp, crab, oysters, mussels, fish, etc. are all great. Considering the quality that you get with things like the crab or oysters, you can easily get your moneys worth (it is spendy so be prepared!)
The wait staff here is top notch. They anticipate many of your needs before you even need to ask. The level of service here is commensurate with the cost of dining here.
If you’re in the mood for delicious food (and seafood!), get your eat on well past what you should eat, than go for a walk and take in the sights.

Don’t let the price scare you away, this place is as good as it gets. I’ve been waiting over a year and a half to finally eat at the seafood buffet and it was worth the wait. Only open during December thru March, the seafood buffet truly delivers on all aspects.
Upon entering my party was greeted by the hostess and almost immediately shown to our table. Our waitress explained a little bit about the food and restaurant as this was my first visit and then let us go on our way.
The food was amazing. The BBQ pork ribs with a cilantro glaze was perfect, with the meat just falling off the bones. Endless amounts of dungeoness crab legs and shrimp. Roasted duck, prime rib, seared to your perfection ahi tuna, the list is endless. The dessert bar was filled with almost every option you could think. Personaly I’m not a crème brûlée fan, but the pastry chefs here did a great job. Most places have only a thin sugar coating but here the glaze was thick and coated.
Looking forward to making my visits here a winter tradition.

If you’re up for an upscale restaurant with tons of yummy sea food, then you must come here!
I honestly had my doubts about this place but my group wanted to go, especially since they had unlimited snow crab. I mean, really? We come all the way to Utah and go out for seafood? Okay why not.
Boy, did this place prove me wrong.
Place is cozy. It was a bit quiet when I walked in but I get it. You’re paying $ 65 a head!
There was a live harpist playing. I felt high class but was ready to get my hands dirty and my grub on.
Wow. just wow. Seafood was absolutely amazing. My favorite part were the fresh oysters on the half shell. There were 2 different kinds and forgive me for not remembering what kind of oysters they were but they were both delish. I did favor one over the other.
We went crazy on the crab legs. Don’t forget to have them steamed. they taste so much better warm.
I skipped the sushi. Didn’t want rice to fill my stomach up with unnecessary fillers.
Love loved the clams and the mussels.
There’s tuna in the grilled section! It’s hidden but I promise its there! Get it completely raw or lightly seared. They give you wasabi sauce too!
And OMG the desserts!!! Some I liked more than others but its a buffet so have at it! Eat your heart out!
Service was awesome. They were constantly clearing our plates away and giving us new ones to empty out the shells. They even give you warm wet naps!
My only complaint is the non-​seafood. Even the mac & cheese tasted funky. how can you mess up mac & cheese???
However, I did not try the duck. Yes I know. TOTAL FAIL! I completely forgot! I kept going back for those delicious oysters I tell ya!
