My husband and I are still talking about our tasting experience at Nelson Cottage. From the moment we arrived on the front porch, greeted with a delicious craft cocktail made with High West whisky and Aperol I knew we were in for a treat. Each detail of the evening was expertly presented with craft and enough education to feel “proper.” 💯 will do this again!
There is no other experience like this. The atmosphere from the moment you walk in is cozy and inviting. The menu and whisky pairing is phenomenal and everyone makes you feel at home. Call in advance to make sure you get a spot. Garrett helped us out and he was terrific.
This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. We were seated on the lovely outdoor patio and served our first cocktail and a canapé, before being escorted into the cottage for dinner. Our Whiskey Ambassador did a great job of explaining the tasting options and we selected the enhanced whiskey pairing — and we are SO glad we did! Each course was curated with creativity and passion — both beautiful and delicious. While there were ingredients I’ve either not had much of or don’t usually like, they were elevated and delicious here! And the whiskey pairing truly enhanced the entire experience. We loved our evening and strongly recommend it!
Amazing experience. Fabulous food. Each of 6 courses was well thought out. We are not whiskey fans but went with the whiskey pairings and a fun experience with briefings on each item served. This was all about the experience, and they hit a home run. Everyone eats the same menu, but I certainly would not call it family style as some have commented. Our courses included appetizer, shrimp, Chilean grouper, mushroom dish, steak, dessert... plus the whiskey pairings. Chef came out at the end to receive her accolades. Menu changes every 2 weeks. Very casual dining typical of Parkcity, limited seating, no table clothes, or fine utensils. Reservations are highly recommended. Expect $200+ per person if you go with all the options.
Finally took a visit to The Nelson Cottage and was so impressed. While we waited on the porch we were served welcome cocktails and canapés. Then we were escorted by party inside to our tables. Inside you are sat in a rustic cottage, as the name describes. And it is warm and comfortable. You feel like you are dining with friends. Our “Whiskey Ambassador” was fantastic. She was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about every single thing that came out of the kitchen or was poured into our glasses. She, as well as the rest of the service staff were on point. We chose to add the whiskey pairing to our meal and we were thrilled we didn’t skip it. The meal would not have been the same without it. They change the menu seasonally. And I can’t wait to get back in and see what they come up with next!
