The Scene
Climb the creaking, wooden steps in the winter and join a happy crowd of out-of-town skiers in the bar, taking in the pizza-and-burger part of the menu. Or join a more muted group of contented regulars in the adjoining dining rooms, often with a fine view of Little Cottonwood Canyon. Tim Garling brings precision and creativity to his cooking style. Spouse Kathy Garling deftly manages Shallow Shaft, and helps set the warm tone.
The Food
Regional Northwest and Southwest accents to classic fresh seafood, pasta, and meat entrées. Fine sauces add color and enhance flavor, and attention is paid to side dishes. Great New York steak ''Neptune,''--angus beef with a rich béarnaise sauce and four broiled lemon-butter jumbo prawns to take you over the top. Other favorites include pork tenderloin medallions and classic herb-crusted rack of lamb.
The Details on Shallow Shaft Bar-Restaurant
Look Good:
In old silver mining slang, ''digging a shallow shaft'' meant taking time off for food and drink.
The Extras:
Save room for dessert. Try the homemade ice cream or a fatal ''death by chocolate'' with a fresh raspberry-mint coulis.
