Awards


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:

 

 

2023
  
 Awarded Best Restaurant / Salt Lake Magazine:

“Panelist Stuart Melling summed up Log Haven best by saying, “If people only have one night in town and they want the ‘Utah experience’ I send them to Log Haven.” Thisvenerable restaurant situated (dare we say nestled?) in the confines of Millcreek Canyon is mountain dining at its finest. But the word “venerable” only applies to the stately log cabin built more than a century ago. The restaurant within is appropriately cozy but the food on the tables remains daring and exciting--changing with the seasons and wherever Chef Dave Jones’ latest passion takes him (His latest? Foraging.) Wild game and hearty apline cuisine mash-up with Asian techniques and flavors. In season inegredients and impeccable service from a veteran staff ensure an evening to savor. “The atmosphre is quintessenital Utah and sure, they’ve been around forever, but they aren’t resting on their reputation,” says panelist Lydia Martinez.” --Jeremy Pugh

 Featured in Salt Lake Magazine article, "We're just getting warmed up."

"Log Haven has some dazzling canyon views in the wintertime.  The dining room offers more-than ample mountain charm and multipe traditional fireplaces with nearby comfortable seating and intimate tables.  For the best chance of getting that coveted spot by the fire, make an early reservation and requst a table by the fireplace."

Log Haven was awarded this prestigious honor given to 38 restaurants across the United States and is the only restaurant in Utah to receive this recognition.

"In 1920, steel baron L.F. Rains created this breathtaking log hideaway as an anniversary gift for his wife, shipping logs from Oregon and hauling them four miles up Millcreek Canyon by horse-drawn wagon. Now, that’s love. Located in the Wasatch National Forest just 20 minutes from Salt Lake City, Log Haven is now home to a restaurant revered for its healthful, locally focused menu (juniper smoked elk carpaccio, crispy skinned Utah steelhead trout) and enduringly cozy, hidden-valley ambience." log-haven.com —Sarah Storms  Click here for the full article.

One of the most romantic restaurants Salt Lake City affords – heck even Utah and the mountain West – is located just four scenic miles up Millcreek canyon. There you will find the spectacular Log Haven restaurant.
The restaurant can trace romance right back to its creation in 1920. Salt Lake steel magnate L.F. Rains created the mountain retreat as an anniversary gift for his wife. Rains’ eye popping creation sits amongst flowing waterfalls, wildlife and soaring trees.Margo Provost purchased Log Haven in 1994 and embarked on a refurbishment program that led to today’s grand restaurant, popular with wedding parties and romancing couples alike. Log Haven features an expansive main dining room that floods with natural light and mountain vistas before switching to flickering candlelight as the sun sets. In warmer months, dine al fresco on the secluded patio space and take in the wonderful mountain atmosphere.
Chef Dave Jones’ cooking embraces the rustic setting with a dash of Southwestern spice and flair. Keep an eye out for sublime dishes like Achiote Grilled Calamari with salsa verde, fresno peppers and onions, crisp tortillas, lime aioli or Tea Brined Duroc Pork Tenderloin with hazelnut – apricot quiona pilaf, roast winter squash, huckleberry gastrique.

Log Haven featured in City Weekly's Dining Guide: My Ideal Meal
A restaurant Critics Fantasy Dinner
By TED SCHEFFLER
“Sometimes I fantasize about food. But, not just any food. My food fantasy revolves around an impossible idea: the notion that I could enjoy my favorite dishes from local restaurants, all in a single meal. Sure, I suppose I could Uber from place to place during the course of an evening, but I like to imagine sitting
down in one spot and digging into all of my faves. It would go something like this:
I’d choose LOG HAVEN as the setting for my dinner, because of its warm, natural ambiance and surroundings.” 
Major Tools Talking trade and tools with some top local chefs
By Heather L. King
DAVE JONES, chef/co-owner / Log Haven
“My knives would be my most critical tools,” Jones says.“Knives are very personal to most chefs.” He’s used many over the years but his favorites are from MAC, Miyabi, Misono,Wüsthof, Henckels, Shun and
Global. “I would also say my cookbooks are extremely important to me on a daily
basis,” he says. “Other critical tools that make life in the kitchen easier would be water stones, immersion blenders, mandolins, cast iron pans, Silpats, tongs,Vitamixers and Robot Coupes.”

10 Best Romantic Restaurant in the US
USA Today

“It’s often rated the best restaurant in Utah, but what really makes Log Haven special is its unique setting, in a log mansion within the Wasatch National Forest, set at the base of towering cliffs and waterfalls. It’s like stepping into a fairy tale,complete with rustic fireplaces and even a water wheel. Aptly named Log Haven was built as weekend retreat by a 1920’s steel baron, but has operated as a special occasion eatery for the past twenty years. The mountain setting of the restaurant occupies a whopping 40 acres, with opportunities to dine inside or out, numerous smaller private dining rooms, all serving up a menu heavy on local flair, from forest mushrooms to juniper smoked elk. “

City Weekly Best of Utah 2015
15X Best Romantic Restaurant / Reader's Choice
"The nearly century-old log mansion in Millcreek Canyon that is home to Log Haven is known for its beautiful locale and fine dining, and as one of Utah's premier destinations for weddings and other special events. While the romantic spirit is always in the air at Log Haven, there may be a few ectoplasmic manifestations hovering there as well. Could be that the staff simply needed some sleep, but a gaggle of Log Haven employees swear they have encountered spirits in their midst, albeit ghosts of a friendly sort. Indeed, owner Margo Provost would like to believe that the apparitions with which she shares her restaurant are there to help protect the place she so lovingly restored. So, next time you see a phantom there, blow it a kiss."

Salt Lake Magazine  - Top 25 Restaurants / Salt Lake Magazine Dining Awards
"This might be the quintessential Northern Utah restaurant.  The antique log cabin radiates mountain hospitality and the beauty and bounty of the Wasatch are apparent on each plate.  Chef David Jones is an experienced forager.  He, general manager, Ian Campbell, owner Margo Provost and banquet manager Faith Scheffler all have a stake in the place, which means visiting diners are treated like personal guests."

Dining Hall of Fame - Salt Lake Magazine Dining Awards 2012
“We instituted the Salt Lake magazine Dining Hall of Fame five years ago. We wanted to recognize restaurants that have not only reached a stellar level of excellence, not only have maintained that level of excellence–and we all know that maintaining is the hardest part–but that have continued to reach for it in a new way. These restaurants have continued to change, to embrace new techniques, new locations, new dishes, new products.

In that sense, they serve as examples. They inspire the rest of us. We don’t induct a new member every year, or even every other year. Only when a place rises distinctly out of the crowd do we deem them worthy to be included in this select group: These are our food heroes.”

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.”
