We went here with a large group of friends for a sunset dinner that (once the sun set) was pleasantly under the stars. The food is good, the location super on a high promontory overlooking Moab, and the staff is great. The restaurant van picked us up at our hotel, and returned us after dinner, at no cost -- a win-win since parking is scant at the restaurant, and we could enjoy wine with our dinner. When making the reservation, some months in advance, I suggested a particular time to arrive and the Sunset Grill person on the other end of the line said "wait, let me check when sunset is that day," found that the time I suggested would miss the sunset, and suggested a slightly earlier time. Very helpful and customer-friendly. Recommended for a pleasant evening experience.

Although the view was good and history of this place was interesting, the same could not be said for our meal. My lemon chicken was probably the worst I’ve ever had. It was served on a plate way too small for the dish, and chicken was extremely dry and had no flavor. The room we were in was very loud and we couldn’t hear each other. Our server was busy with a large table and did not check back with us, or even ask if we enjoyed the meal. He was nice, but trying to cover too many tables. We will not be back.

Be aware that when they ask you if you want a loaded baked potato (melted white cheese and bacon bits) it will be a $5.95 upcharge. That is almost 20% extra and is not listed on the menu. We were charged more for our drinks than what was listed on the menu. Our waiter, although nice, just looked confused when we asked about this. The prime rib is excellent and the new york strip steak is average. Overall, it was a disappointing experience for a $285 dinner for four people.

We had a terrible experience. We were there on a Saturday evening to get dinner when it was really busy and we had to wait 25 minutes for a table (that was not a problem). Once we were seated though it took the waiter 15 minutes to greet us and take our drink orders, saying he would be back to take our food order.
25 minutes later the waiter still hadn't returned with our drinks, and we still didn't have a chance to put in our food order! And we were really parched and tired, as we had a long day on the road before arriving in Moab, and the place is really hot: we were sitting inside and they only have fans pushing the hot air around. No airco.
While our waiter was at the next table taking his time explaining the specials we decided to walk out, as we had no confidence that any food would be delivered swiftly. And in any case, they were only out of 4 drinks, as we didn't even ordered food yet.
We can't comment on the food obviously, but for a place that advertise itself as a prime steakhouse and seafood place the menu was rather limited. A lot of the items that were on the website were not on the actual menu. And someone on the next table was returning the food to the kitchen, as it wasn't cooked well. So please be aware of that.
As it was already quite late, we went instead to a downtown Moab diner (Zax) where we were greeted immediately and food was served 20 minutes after we ordered it.
Clearly an overrated place!

After eating very lightly all day anticipating a delicious prime rib dinner I was so disappointed!! The prime rib ordered medium rare was so over cooked! Not a bit of red meat. After a few bites I told the waitress I could not eat it. I was offered a free crème brûlée. A small fit got me compensated half the price, which by the way, was not told to me that the prime rib special was $20 more than rib on the menu. On the good side my husband’s filet mignon was delicious and our waitress was attentive and helpful.

This was our favorite place in Moab this is our 4th annual visit… we usually go more than once during our stay. Our French onion soup and salad were on point but our food was so awful! My ribeye was one of the worse steaks I have ever had and at a hefty 68 dollar price tag . I could not eat it so gross they did take it off our bill. The lemony chicken was a mere shadow of the dish we had been served years earlier . Our cocktails were good but t one was 23 dollars and the other 20!!! We were very sad about a loss of a place we loved we won’t be back .

Sunset Grill wants to position itself as the top choice for fine dining in Moab, but it fell far short of expectations. Things got off on the wrong foot when the server failed to enumerate the specials before asking for my order, though otherwise the service was fine. The real problem was the timing. My salad and bread arrived just as I was finishing my appetizer; the entree arrived before I even started the salad. Of course I told them it was much too early, and they took it away. And quite obviously set it under the heating lamp for about fifteen minutes or so, because when it came back, the fish was dry and the crab on top practically desiccated. The flavor was good, but the meal was fundamentally ruined, and for this I paid $45. The server did comp a dessert for me, but it did not take away the sting of wasting my last night in Moab here.

The view from the restaurant is spectacular, but you can’t eat the sunset. This is a restaurant that would bean excellent candidate for Restaurant Rescue. The look of the restaurant is musty and old. It”s cluttered with old junk that came out of someone’s garage sale. The salad was crisp and tasty, and for a brief moment we felt as if we had stumbled upon a hidden gem, but when the pillsbury bread arrived, that gem turned into a zircon. The main entrees were worse. I had the lemon chicken that was over cooked and rubbery and covered with so much garlic, you’d be hard pressed to taste the lemon. My husband had the overcooked pecan chicken which was tough. We skipped dessert. The service was extremely slow and although our waitress was pleasant, she seemed over-worked.

Scary drive up a steep hill, but worth it as you are rewarded with a nice view. We ate inside as it was extremely hot. Great service, decor is confusing as there are old photos and antiques around, then there are fossils in glass cases down by bathrooms. The decor could be updated or more consistent. The drinks were tasty, and the food delicious. The kids prime rib was huge and my son actually ate it all. Kids pasta was good as well. The linguini with shrimp and crab was awesome and the trout was very tasty. The only negative thing was that there were a few flies that would not leave us alone, it kind of ruined our dinner even though we were enjoying the food.

Having never been to Moab, Utah, we didn't know where to eat dinner after touring Arches National Park. We saw a sign at the top of an incline. We decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised. The view was fabulous, the service was fantastic and the meal was absolutely delicious. Our server, Taitum, went beyond our expectations making us feel welcomed. I had the trout and my traveling companion had the honey pecan chicken. The servings were large. They were so large that we could only eat the main entree and a small amount of the sides. The history of the facility was intriguing. So much so, that we purchased a book about the original owner, Charlie Steen.

We generally eat here every time we are in town. Very cool place and very expensive for what you get. Service is a bit slow, most of the menu items they don’t have. This last time once again they didn’t have prime rib, the one good thing we’ve had. I did the fillet mignon for $10 more and I hate to say was terrible. All of the food was way under seasoned except the shrimp scampi that my wife had to settle for because everything else she wanted wasn’t available, and it was so salty she couldn’t eat most of it. The Fillet was supposed to be medium rare and was well done and tough.
From our experience it is hit or miss for great food, but you still pay $$$ if it isn’t.

We were reluctant to come here bc of the mixed reviews. So glad that we came. The drinks and foods were great. The views are spectacular. The portions are pretty large. I got the shrimp scampi and wish I got the kid sized one. My kid got the fettuccine Alfredo and it was delicious. My other kid got the Olivia fettuccini and that was also great. The prices are not ridiculous for the type of restaurant and service was a bit slow because they were busy but our waiter was extremely attentive and nice. Will be back because we loved it.

We were a party of 14 and had a really nice evening at Sunset Grill. The menu had something for everyone, from pastas to sandwiches and various other entrees. The artichoke baguette was delicious! There was also a good selection of cocktails. The kids were able to play cornhole outside while we waited for the food to come out- which was a bonus. Our waiter went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful dining experience.

We drove by Sunset Grill two years ago but didn't have a chance to try it. This time, we visited Moab with our lifelong friends. We got to Sunset Grill right before sunset. We waited for maybe 15 minutes outside (plenty of outdoor seating) until a table was ready. We sat outside & it was pretty hot but not intolerable. Our server Erik was very busy with other tables (& even making drinks) but he handled everything very well. As the sun set, the place lit up with twinkle lights. But the lights shut off three separate times! I mean, it went pitch dark. Normally, I'd be like ha ha how quirky but this restaurant is huge with lots of dining areas & the servers must juggle food & plates on stairways. After two power outages, it was just unsafe. After the third, the manager should've simply shut off some of the twinkle lights. You could tell a lot of the diners were getting annoyed. We waited a really long time for our main course, but everything was delicious and we didn't mind the long wait as we had no evening plans besides stargazing at nearby Arches NP. Expect to spend 2+ hours for dinner. I'm glad we went & highly recommended visiting if you can swing it in your dining budget.

One of the best places to eat at when in the area. The service was spot on. Our waiter was kind enough to bring us an extra bread loaf when we asked for it. Our prime rib was absolutely delicious... Probably some of the best I've had. And the view is spectacular... absolutely breathtaking. We stayed at the Hyatt place hotel below so the shuttle service was also much appreciated. Highly recommend and thank you for such great service, food and atmosphere!
