You'll have to help me out. The cheapest pizza is $11. The cheapest dessert is $8. Drinking water is free. Tax on $19 is over a dollar. You stiff the server with no tip and you'll still be over $20.The cheapest glass of red wine to go with that pizza is the Trapiche Malbec at $9 for a 5 oz pour. It sells at the State wine store for $8.99 for 25.4 ounces. That's over a 500% markup. There is no other restaurant in the State with that kind of chutzpah. For 2 people to split the cheapest pizza, cheapest desert, a glass each of the cheapest wine, tax and minimum acceptable tip is going to cost just over $46. If you're LDS, or don't consider a beer, or wine, to be as essential as the protein you are eating for dinner it's a lot cheaper. My original comment was that as soon as you add anything, but water to the meal, it cannot possible be called cheap. You've not said anything to show otherwise.I agree the food is good, going up and nursing a single beer or cocktail on the terrace is a great afternoon. Especially, during the Sunday afternoon jazz.I suspect we'll have to disagree on this one.

Dear Mr. Schiffman,I understand what you are stating but I want you to know that there really are several price points at the St. Regis in Deer Valley. You don't have to get the full meal to have a great experience. I think it would be fun just to go up the furnicular, browse around the hotel, and enjoy a pizza and dessert ($20 total). Or you might splurge and order an entree or the prefix menu on a special occasion like a anniversary or birthday. I hope that my point came across that you don't have to spend a lot to enjoy the St. Regis. Of course, if you order appetizers, drinks, and desserts your bill will be high but you can still enjoy the St. Regis without ordering everything. I hope that helps.Thanks for your comment.Becky

I don't want to rain on any parade, but this place is so expensive, and not always consistent, that it's hard to want to go back another time. Seven dollars for a beer that's four and a half at the next most expensive resort and three in town. You can't order a decent (small Utah) glass of wine for under $18-20. Ordering a decent bottle almost requires taking out a loan. So, the extras are just nuts in pricing. It was $68 for two burgers, beers, a single house salad, tax and tip. Dinner with a bottle of wine is pretty much impossible to get out the door for less than $250 even being careful. It's also not always consistent, which at this price should be a given.Being hosted for a dinner guarantees the best food preparation and no sticker shock. After you pay for the same dinner and a good bottle of wine, let us know if it's a better deal than the same caliber places in town.

Oh my!!! My husband went on a business trip last week to Atlanta and stayed in a St. Regis there. He promises to take me there with him next time, but maybe we'll just go here for an over-nighter!
