Handle Reopens

We were happy to hear from our friends at Handle restaurant in Park City that it has reopened for both indoor and outdoor service, seven days a week from 5 p.m. to close. 

Seating is limited and so reservations are strongly urged. Takeout service is also available at Handle. The staff says, “If you are ordering takeout give us a call close to 5 p.m. and specify what time you would like to pick up. This will make your experience as seamless as possible.”

Popular menu items at chef Briar Handly’s eatery include General Tso Cauliflower, HSL Burger, Fried Chicken, NY “Baller” Prime Ribeye, Hamachi Tataki, Whiskey Caramel Pudding and much, much more, including a full bar with signature cocktails, wine, beer and such.
