What to Expect at Balcony One

Balcony One is a dinner restaurant on State Route 9 in Virgin, Utah, the small town between Hurricane and Springdale on the road into Zion National Park. It is run by George and Cindy Rodinos, and the restaurant's own description of its guests is "people who travel the world," which fits the mix at the tables: Zion visitors on their way back to Hurricane and St. George hotels, and locals from Virgin, La Verkin and Hurricane who treat it as the nice-dinner place close to home.

The menu leans American with seafood and steak. The three dishes the restaurant features on its site are seared ahi tuna (with green pea puree, artichoke, cherry tomatoes, wasabi aioli and crispy onions), smoked baby back ribs with a house-made apple-jalapeno barbecue sauce, and flame-broiled salmon over cauliflower puree with grilled asparagus. There is an early-bird menu for diners who arrive at opening. The full bar includes a "Bourbon & Blues Bar" built around handcrafted bourbon cocktails, and the restaurant books live music. Outdoor seating faces the mesas and cliffs that line the Virgin River valley, which is the reason to ask for the patio in spring and fall.

Does Balcony One take reservations?

Yes. Balcony One takes reservations by phone at (435) 635-7141 and online through its Yelp listing. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday from 3 to 9 p.m. and is closed on Monday. Reservations matter most on Friday and Saturday evenings in spring and fall, when Zion visitation peaks and the patio fills first.
