River Grill

Moab


For romance, it's hard to beat the wraparound veranda overlooking red-rock canyons outside Moab. Dine on heirloom tomato soup, wedge salad and herb-crusted ahi tuna. The New American menu changes seasonally, but expect Wagyu steaks, seared duck breast and the freshest seafood flown in.
