In its 20th year of operation, Log Haven has been recognized both locally and nationally as a jewel on the culinary scene. Log Haven's philosophy is to create hand-crafted cuisine from only the freshest local and regional ingredients while incorporating classical and international culinary techniques. It is not our goal to simply create high-style food with an associated high price tag. Instead, we are renowned for creating every dish from scratch and prize ourselves on complex, deep, intense flavors at a reasonable price.
Some of our awards and recognition include:

Award of Excellence – Wine Spectator Fodor's Choice Four Diamond Award – AAA Top 50 Most Romantic Restaurants - Open Table America's Most Romantic Restaurants - Travel & Leisure Best American Contemporary - Best of State Award Healthy Dining Restaurant - Supporting the Healthy and Dietary Goals of Americans, Healthydiningfinder.com Zagat Survey - Top Restaurants in U.S. Ian Campbell/General Manager – Recipient of the Golden Spoon Award/Salt Lake Magazine Dining Awards City Weekly's Best of Utah 2011 - Awarded in Two Categories: Best Atmosphere/Reader's Choice: “Surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, a large pond, a trickling stream and a national forest, Log Haven’s rustic log-mansion ambiance is one of the West’s most appealing. But the spectacular natural surroundings are just part of the story. Log Haven owner Margo Provost and her staff strive mightily to provide a dining ambiance in which not only the body is nourished, but also the spirit. She wants her restaurant to be a respite of sorts, a place where customers are treated like family and where the soul can soar. City Weekly readers obviously find both Log Haven’s food and spirit to be filled with soul. Maybe that’s partly attributable to the spirits who are said to roam the restaurant at night." Best Romantic/Reader's Choice: “It’s often said that, with the right person, anyplace can be a venue for romance. But, do you really want to gamble on romance with someone special? If not, you can increase your odds significantly by making a simple dinner reservation at Log Haven, where they’ve got all the bases covered. Great food: check. Appealing wine list: check. A lovely canyon drive to the restaurant: check. And, once you’re there, nothing in the romance department is left to chance. The intimate, comfortable surroundings, subdued lighting, personalized service, soft music and overall nurturing vibe of the restaurant makes it a no-brainer for marriage proposals, anniversaries and hot dates. It’s no surprise that so many Log Haven customers eventually also wind up getting hitched there.” |
