The Scene
La Caille exudes romance, with its winding brick drive, sweeping staircase, manicured gardens and rolling vineyards.
The Food
The menu features French classics alongside contemporary creations--all exceedingly expensive. For appetizers, the escargots in herbed butter sauce are tender and delicious; oysters Rockefeller are plump and rich; and foie gras is flavorful, but could be silkier. Standout entrees include plump diver scallops balanced by a buttery white-wine sauce, and tender steak au poivre. Ahi tuna is beautifully prepared: served rare, wrapped in nori, with piquant wasabi and coated with a crispy tempura crust. The trio of lobster tails infused with a subtle flavor of herbed olive oil can be overcooked and dry. Desserts are traditional and satisfying.

The food and service that our party recieved was not as bad as what is described in these posts. The menu could use some update, and the flavors could be improved, but we did not experience "moldy", "stale" or "stinky old" food that some of the other guests have descibed, nor did we see any strange creatures roaming the floors that some other patrons have mentioned. Therefore, we give it a 2. We are mainly concerned with the prices that we paid for ho-hum dishes that had no flair or creativity. Average price is about $200 per person........far too much for a "commoner" to pay unless everything is flawless. LaCaille is far from flawless. The service was O.K. and the lights were nice, yet not spectacular as in years past.

I believe the locals here all know that the food and service have always been far below standard. The prices are absolutely outrageous for the low quality food and poor treatment recieved. I believe the tourists will dine here once for the landscape and the lighting, the men in paticular are interested in rumours of "milf's" with saggy silicone chests, but will never return. There are many restaurants in the Salt Lake and Park City area that are far better in every aspect, with much lower prices.

My daughter had her wedding reception at the La Caille this summer and it was truly a spectacular event, accentuated by the elegant and well prepared food and superlative service. Kudos to Kim Rodgers, the La Caille event coordinator, who went out of her way to ensure that everything was absolutely perfect. I see some reviews here that are negative about the food quality and service -- I can hardly believe we are talking about the same restaurant, as our own experience was quite different and extraordinary. A special thanks to the owners of the La Caille as well, who have had to endure all this unfounded negativism. Keeping those idyllic grounds in their full splendor and all the personnel required to reproduce a French experience here in Utah is no easy or inexpensive proposition, and you have certainly achieved something wonderful and memorable here. Oh, and as to food price, prices in mainstream Paris restaurants are way more expensive (I paid $85 for a sandwich), and this amazing Utah locale saves you a ton of money on airfare and lodging expenses by enabling you to experience a bit of France, right here in Utah, for a relatively modest price. Don't let the negative reviews you see here dissuade you from going to the La Caille for dinner, or from planning your special event there. Based on our own experience, you should be delighted!
