    We had a lovely dining experience at Basalt, the high-end restaurant at Black Desert Resort. The views are gorgeous; we witnessed a glorious sunset over the mountains. Service was outstanding and our server, Tee, is exceptional. Cocktails are excellent; I enjoyed the Spicy Mango and it was complex and delicious. The watermelon salad was the best I have ever had. The crab cake was excellent, and the filet was cooked perfectly to our party's specification. The mixed vegetable side dish was surprisingly flavorful, and the creamed corn was good, too. Overall, we were very pleased and would definitely visit again.

    Good but not exceptional food and quite expensive. Services excellent. Caesar salad was average, grilled vegetables excellent and scallops well cooked but in a sauce that I wasn’t particularly fond of. Wine list average at best

    The food and setting of this new restaurant in St. George is fantastic. The restaurant is a jewel in the new development. The night we dined at Basalt, unfortunately, involved two tables of guests that demonstrated incredibly inappropriate behavior for a restaurant of this caliber. The restaurant staff did a poor job managing the situation and took far too long before calling security for assistance. Sadly it impacted everyone’s dining experience. The wait staff started off 5 star but lost their attention. Maybe wait for it to be open a bit longer. Sunset view are dynamite though!

    Basalt is a cut above. Ambience and views are stunning. Food is flavourful and imaginative. But the highlight was our server, Tee. She was so caring, knowledgeable, and incredibly funny. For the full, second-to-none experience at Basalt, be sure to request Tee as your expert server.

    Best food in all of St. George. We've needed a high end restaurant like this for a long time. Recommend the beet salad, creamed corn, tallow fries, wagyu, fillet, creme brulee, and key lime. The mac-and-cheese is just okay. Can't wait to go back.

    Wow! What a difference! The steaks were cooked to perfection, and every side dish sang. The service was attentive and friendly. This was a fantastic dining experience, a real step up from our last visit. We'll definitely be back, and next time, we'll be sure to ask for Abe!

    Every thing was excellent. I ordered the pork chop , if you like smoked you will enjoy. I don’t like smoked and it was not clear in the menu.

    The food here is impeccable!! I had the Wagyu steak and it was delicious. It melts in your mouth with every bite. The funeral potatoes were so good and very unique. The creamed corn was a hit as were the tallow French fries. Topped it off with the crème brûlée and as a bonus for our anniversary they gave us a s’mores dessert. They were so delectable that I will keep coming back. Highly recommend every single thing that we tried.

    Very special dining experience. The quality of the food and the beautiful setting was just the beginning. The service was over the top. Tee was our server and she made our experience unique and memorable. French onion soup and the creamed corn are must haves.
