Sushi & Cider

On a number of upcoming Thursday evenings, Mountain West Hard Cider (425 North 400 West, SLC) invites guests to “Embrace your inner sushi chef in this engaging cooking class guided by Chef Nate. You’ll learn how to create artful sushi rolls using traditional techniques while Chef Nate teaches you three different recipes spanning from California to Philadelphia. In this class, you will get to improve your knife skills as you work with fresh fish, vegetables and sushi rolls.”

“You will start with a sushi favorite, the California roll. Layer crunchy cucumbers, avocado and flavorful surimi over sushi rice and nori. Next, excite your taste buds with fresh and spicy ahi tuna. Lastly, head to the East Coast and make a Philadelphia roll, which features a cream cheese base for avocado and cucumbers. You’ll use an authentic sushi mat to roll each sushi then artfully present your gourmet creations.”

All cooking classes are designed to be social events that do not require any previous experience. Guests are welcome to purchase alcoholic beverages from the venue to enjoy during the class. Tickets for the Mountain West Hard Cider Sushi Roll cooking classes are $55 per person, which includes 2 hours of class instruction, meals, and taxes.

The Vintage Room Reopens

The extraordinarily popular wintertime lunch and après destination, The Vintage Room, celebrated the opening of its fourth season at the ski-in ski-out The St. Regis Deer Valley last week. The clear, heated 1600 SF structure located on the Resort’s Upper Ski Beach shimmers with modern chandeliers reflecting the pristine powder outside. This ski season, The Vintage Room debuts luxurious red leather seating areas, a new Bar and a new Sushi Bar.  Table service including two raised and reservable VIP areas provide an excellent view of the action and some of the best people watching in Park City.

Behind a 30-foot wooden bar, St. Regis mixologists create signature cocktails and chefs prepare raw bar orders. The Sushi Bar features Hand Rolls made from seafood flown in daily from Maine, Nantucket and Hawaii. DJs spin Thursday-Sunday afternoons from a suspended booth, keeping the vibe lively. Guests enjoy champagne service, cocktails, beer and non-alcoholic beverages in The Vintage Room or on its outdoor deck and fire pit under the typically cornflower blue skies of Park City. Enjoy lunch, après pre or post Sundance screenings, or as a respite from alpine endeavors.

The menu features Sevruga, Imperial Osetra and Hybrid Kaluga Caviars with all the accoutrements. Sushi Hand Rolls include King Crab with Garlic Crisp, Cucumber, Avocado and Truffle Dressing; and Seared Wagyu Beef Tataki with Daikon Sprouts, Avocado, Ponzu, Garlic and Truffle Mayo. Chef Rolls include the Vintage Roll made with Salmon, King Crab, Spicy Tuna, Cucumber, Truffle, Lemon and Togarashi; and the Mountaineer Roll with Spicy Tuna, Avocado, Lemon and Chili Glaze.
