Haven, St. George, Utah

During our very relaxing vacation, we were able to try some great new cuisine in St. George. The restaurant opened in October 2008 and seems to be a new favorite. The concierge at our hotel said that the decoration was very "hip". In fact that's all she said about the place. "Oh it is so hip, straight out of Vegas hip!" So if you ever want a hip :) place to eat in Southern Utah visit this new restaurant and you wont regret it. Chris decided on getting pork tenderloins that had a sweet cherry sauce and a spoon corn bread side dish. I decided to try their "comfort" food (a theme of home comfort food and chic style is prevalent in the menu) and ordered the meat loaf. It wasn't my favorite because the food was very heavy. But Chris' dish was very tasty. The pork was cooked to perfection and the sauce added a unique flavor to the meat. The portions were really large... just watching the spaghetti come out of the kitchen would make your jaw drop. We didn't try any appetizers or desserts because of money but the selections they had seemed very delicious. The decorating was very chic but the openness of the dining hall created a lack of privacy and you felt like you were in a fishbowl. The bar area seemed really exciting, but on a Tuesday night it wasn't open for seating. The owners are a very trendy couple, if you can't tell from their picture, but the head chef did come out with all of his red hair glory and asked how our food tasted. Overall I'd recommend the restaurant, but would suggest a different dish than the meat loaf.
I stole the pictures not from the restaurant's website, but from the owner's blog. It was really funny to see the blog because the pictures were very similar to the one just above... oh I'm judging.
