Whether you’re in town for family fun, a romantic getaway, a friend’s trip, or a golf weekend, here are several new restaurants in St. George worth adding to your must-visit list.
New St. George Restaurants as of Winter 2026
Basalt - Elevated American Fare in a Stylish Setting
At Basalt, the chic new steakhouse at Black Desert Resort, dining is an experience. Known for its elevated American menu and warm yet refined atmosphere, Basalt blends high-quality ingredients with creative preparation. Basalt’s prime-aged beef is sourced regionally, and its seafood is sourced sustainably, so you know you’re getting the highest quality meat and seafood.
It’s a great choice for date nights, celebratory dinners, or a sophisticated meal after a day exploring Snow Canyon or Zion National Park. Expect thoughtful seasonal dishes, excellent service, and a wine list (and zero-proof cocktail menu) that pairs beautifully with every course.
Lotus - Asian Fusion and Contemporary Comfort
Lotus brings a fresh take on fusion cuisine to St. George with a menu full of bold flavors and beautiful presentations. Combining Asian inspiration with modern techniques and local ingredients, Lotus is perfect for foodies and adventurous eaters alike. The vibrant and fun decor at Lotus really adds to the experience, and this new spot is known for excellent service as well.
Whether you’re enjoying small plates with friends or savoring a flavorful entrée with your partner, Lotus delivers both creativity and comfort.
Spitz - Casual Mediterranean for Every Appetite
Craving vibrant Mediterranean flavors? Spitz delivers casual, satisfying Mediterranean street food like wraps, bowls, and fresh salads in a laid-back, colorful setting. Spitz even offers a vegan menu, with delicious meat-free and dairy-free options. With bold seasonings, in-house made sauces, high-quality proteins, and generous portions, this is a great option for families and active groups who want flavorful food without the fuss.
We think Spitz is ideal for a relaxed lunch after a hike, a quick dinner before heading to a movie, or a fun night out with friends. Spitz has restaurant locations across Utah and the US, and we’re excited to have Spitz here in St. George now!
Book Club Bistro - Wine, Small Plates & Charming Vibes
Book Club Bistro has quickly become a go-to spot for those who love sampling a variety of bites, sipping wine, and enjoying good conversation. With an eclectic small-plate menu and a beverage program built around approachable wines and craft cocktails, this is the kind of place that turns dinner into a memorable evening.
Think artfully prepared deviled eggs, decadent meatballs, crab cakes, salmon, and much more. Book Club Bistro also offers a delicious brunch on Sundays! Couples will appreciate the intimate feel, and groups will love the social, shareable menu.
Silver Reef - Local Craft Beer and Easygoing Food
Silver Reef Craft and Kitchen at Silver Reef Brewing Co. has quickly become a St. George favorite for laid-back vibes, well-crafted local beer, and a menu that’s perfect for refueling after a day of golfing, hiking, or exploring town. From burgers and fish and chips to a club sandwich, pizzas, fun appetizers, and more, Silver Reef has something for everyone.
The restaurant features numerous TVs, perfect for watching a game, and the outdoor patio is dog-friendly! It’s a great fit for friend groups and golf crews looking for a casual hangout spot. The relaxed atmosphere and crowd-pleasing options pair perfectly with a cold pint, a craft cocktail, or a house-made soda.
Meraki Greek Grill - Mediterranean Cuisine with a Sophisticated Twist
Meraki Greek Grill brings Mediterranean cuisine to St. George with a menu full of vibrant flavors and creative dishes designed to be shared. From mezze plates and grilled specialties to the Meraki Signature Bowl, indulgent desserts, and craft cocktails, Meraki is perfect for couples and groups looking to elevate their evening.
Its stylish interior and warm ambiance make it as much about the experience as the food. Meraki started in Nevada in 2017, and we’re thrilled to be able to enjoy two locations in Southern Utah - one in St. George and a second in Santa Clara.

HB Beverage Co. is a great option for anyone craving something fresh, healthy, and vacation-friendly—think cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and satisfying grain/fruit bowls that are perfect for fueling up before a day in Zion or grabbing a quick lunch between adventures.
They’re known for a menu that’s dairy-free and gluten-free, with vibrant, feel-good options that work great for families, couples, and friend groups who want a lighter (but still filling) bite. It’s an easy stop when you want something delicious that won’t slow you down!
