Savor the Summit
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009The Grande Table
Park City’s longest dinner party on Main Street took place Friday, June 20th. Named The Grande Table, as a part of the Savor the Summit weekend, the event was a total sell-out for all restaurants involved.
Over 600 diners joined together to enjoy the beautiful early summer weather, the 5 stages of live jazz music, and the culinary delights of dining OUT in Park City.
Here’s what some participants are saying:
“Thank you so much for including us in the Savor the Summit event on Friday. We had a great turnout, I started with 20, we finished at 66 guests. We are looking forward to next year’s event.”

Congratulations!

Dining al fresco on a warm summer evening is a real treat, especially when you’re dining in the middle of Main Street.
The second annual Savor the Summit event in Park City, Utah, will shut down traffic along Main on Friday night, making way for The Grande Table. More than 20 restaurants will serve special menus. Free live music will play in seven spots. Last year, about 600 people participated.
While in Park City, take advantage of free gallery events and street dancing with bands like New Voodoo Swing scheduled to play, you know there will be impromptu dancing plus, there’s a beer, wine, and cocktail tent open to the public with drinks for purchase.
Reservations are still available at a few of the restaurants. The forecast? Sunny and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Unless you have a HUGE family, you probably will never sit at a longer table than the one being set June 19 in Park City.
For The Grand Table event, 21 restaurants will place linen-covered tables down the middle of historic Main Street, then serve guests a special meal al fresco. The event kicks off the Savor The Summit Food, Wine and Jazz Festival.
Only two of the 21 restaurants are sold out: Deer Valley’s Royal Street Cafe and Riverhorse on Main. So plenty of tickets are still available. Prices vary depending on where you want to eat.
Wasatch Brew Pub looks to be the most affordable option at $36. Price includes beer, but not tip.
The recently opened Bridge Cafe and Grill is offering a four-course meal for $38 (or $45 if you want to enjoy Caipirinha, a Brazilian specialty drink.).
And Cisero’s is serving a three-course meal for $45 plus tax and tip. Wine is additional.
The rest of the restaurants range from $60 to about $100 for dinner. Add $25 to $30 more if you want wine pairings. Here’s a list of participating restaurants. Each one lists the menu, prices and number to call for a reservation.
