Reviews for Shallow Shaft Restaurant in Sandy, UT
One of the best dining experiences in Utah. Highly recommend. The service was impeccable, Holly made us feel like we were in a... 5-star restaurant with white glove service. Our entrees were so delicious and the desserts were PHENOMENAL!!! Read more
Don?t usually write reviews. But Shallow Shaft used to be one of our favorites and to see a great restaurant, with an... interesting and diverse menu including game, excellent service and great pizza fall of the cliff is discouraging. Something hasgone catastrophically wrong with a beloved old favorite. The menu is extremely limited: no game, no pizza, literally nothinginteresting was. The menu could be found in any ordinary roadside quick stop. The service was extremely slow, especially whensitting on hard chairs after a long day skiing. Our food, the chicken and the steak, was tough and cold and minimal. I had afew chopped sweet potatoes under my steak and a dash of green sauce (possibly chimichura). And that was it. And when bread andfries are separate up charges, you know a restaurant in the US is on hard times. We have eaten at the Shallow Shaft for at least25 years. It?s a shame to see this pale imitation of a valued original. Read more
Well the Shaft is back! We have had two great dinners in this last week! Best dinner in town so far this year. Great wine list... too! Read more
If you're hungry this is not the place. Very expensive and not much food. What you get will be good but you'll need to hit... another place after to satisfy hunger. 3oz of meat = $58 Read more
This restaurant was mentioned to us by our driver Gates, who drove us from the airport to Snowbird who said Shallow Shaft is "an... experience." So what was our experience: 1) no atmosphere 2) poor quality of food 3) wine selection (and I like Spanish wine -only one Rioja and one Cabernet Sauvignon from Spain - not much to choose from). Now let me elaborate: 1) the interior of arestaurant is outdated with seriously outdated lighting. Overall, it is reminiscent of an old diner in the middle of nowhere.Cheap carpet floor makes the impression of a motel. 2) food (and in my case 'rack of lamb' priced at $44) came out totallyburned (I ordered it well done). When I sent it back to the kitchen - burned food came back even worse. Staff was pleasant andfriendly. I would not recommend this place at all. At all. Read more
The Shallow Shaft we love is back! We have been regular customers and were disappointed after a meal we had back in January.... Decided to give it another chance after finding out they had hired a new chef. Happy to report that they are back to serving thebest food in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Had an excellent dinner last night (3/6/18) and wonderful service! Read more
Good food in a cozy mountain location, at prices that reflect its proximity to the ski resorts. We've been going to the Shallow... Shaft regularly for several years. Most recently (2016), the food was quite good, though perhaps not as outstanding this visitas in previous years. We found our waiter to have an oddly off-putting attitude, though - as if we were imposing by asking forour order, etc. I assume that's just a one-off experience; the other waitstaff seemed normal. We went with the wine selectionrecommended by our waiter, and I was quite pleased - a mellow Italian Cabernet that really worked with the meal. Read more
Went here with a large party and we were able to order lots of different dishes from the menu and share with each other. EVERY... SINGLE DISH was excellent. Can't wait for my next visit. Yum! Really cozy vibe too. Read more
