Park City Trip

Last night a few of us decided to make a trip over to Park City, Utah for dinner. After making the 35 minute trip that took us by Olympic Park and several of the local ski resorts, we settled on Wasatch Brewery for a quick drink before dinner at Bistro 412.

For those of you who aren't aware, Park City is the home of the Sundance Film Festival and just a neat little mountain town about a half hour away from Salt Lake City. It was a lot of fun to walk up and down the streets, see some of the Sundance venues, and all the people enjoying an evening after a day on the slopes. I do have to wonder though who all these nine year olds were standing in the middle of the sidewalks. Don't they have school? They were everywhere, seriously.

Both Wasatch and Bistro 412 were good. I enjoyed a sampler of the house-brewed selections at Wasatch (tried all but the Raspberry Ale and Amber Ale) while we hung out in the upstairs portion of this brewpub and watched the Olympics and the Kentucky vs. Mississippi State game. After spending about a while at Wasatch we made our way down the hill to Bistro 412 where I had a very good order of Sea Scallops and Prawns. That said, one of those in the group ordered the KC Strip cooked medium and unfortunately found it somewhere between medium well and well done. The service was not very good at either place, but not so bad as to make it a bad experience. We were just all tired and ready to get back to Salt Lake City and none of the waiters/waitresses seemed in much of a hurry to do much of anything.
