Chef Alfredo's - 76 W Tabernacle St - St George, UT

I had several people recommend this restaurant to me, and my wife and I tried it out on our 8th Anniversary - we had a wonderful experience!

Good

1, the location is just really fun. It is inside of a house that looks like it is Pioneer-era. It is in the historic district of St George, behind Judd's General Store and across the street from the historic St George Tabernacle. You would think that turning a house into a restaurant would mean that you're crammed together in a room with other guests, but they've done a really nice job with it! We had a very quiet, intimate experience and didn't feel that way at all

2, the service was top notch. Martha was wonderful. She is usually the manager, but they were short staffed (thanks, COVID pandemic) and jumped right in and was so happy to be our server. She gave us excellent recommendations and told us about Chef Alfredo and how many of these recipes are his family recipes from Italy. 

3, the food was quite delicious. I had the Chicken Parmesan and my wife had the Chicken Alfredo. Both were excellent! The bread is very delicious as well. The portion sizes were definitely adequate - I think we both ended up bringing home part of our meal to eat later.

This was a very fun place to have our Anniversary dinner, and a great overall experience

Bad

I have this problem with Italian... I love Italian food, but I've also been a college student, and I know how cheap noodles are! Now I'm not saying that Chef Alfredo's goes and buys Great Value Linguine and cooks it up in the kitchen. But... I also took a cooking class at BYU and I know how cheap the ingredients are to make noodles. And the frugal part of me just can't get over that when I go eat Italian. 

So, was this place a little pricey?

Yes, it was.

But did we have a wonderful time and was the food delicious and the servings generous and was it a great place to go for our anniversary?

Yes.

If you're looking for "cheap", try somewhere else.

But if you're looking for romantic and classic and delicious and fun and memorable... I think you'll have a great time.


So, for my ratings:

Taste:   8/10

Speed:  6/10

Quality:  8/10

Cleanliness: 10/10

Value: 5/10

Painted Pony - 2 West Saint George Boulevard #22 Tower Building - St. George, UT

 Painted Pony Restaurant I'm not going to pretend to be someone I'm not. This is not my typical restaurant. My wife and I got a gift card to come here, and we made a fun date of it. And it was fun! It is in a really cool building and has a nice atmosphere. However, I must say that the chairs, tables, decorations, etc, were a little underwhelming for such an expensive restaurant. It is nice. The staff was very nice and professional.  But it wasn't as "fancy" as a P.F. Changs or a Maggiano's. You will definitely want a reservation.  As for the Menu, it is interesting to me how every "fancy" restaurant has really interesting entrees. The entree doesn't come with any sides - no salad, no soup. I went with the  PROSCUITTO WRAPPED FREE RANGE CHICKEN for $34.00 It comes with parsley almond pesto, acorn squash, couscous, and olive brown butter Again, I don't usually have acorn squash or couscous with my dinner. The chicken was really tender. The Pros...

Purple Mattress - King - Purple 1 (Original)

Image
 My wife and I bought a new mattress earlier this year. We've had it for 11 months now, so we've had a good length of time to try it out. First of all, let me clarify which mattress I'm talking about. Purple has several now. This is their original Purple mattress. Some people call it the Purple 1 because it has 1 inch of Gelflex Grid , while the Purple Hybrid (Purple 2) has 2 inches and Purple 3 has 3 inches and Purple 4 has...  Yes, 4 inches. You know when you've seen a word so many times it starts to look weird... Purple Purple looks weird. Ok, so this is the mattress I'm reviewing. First, I did not pay $1699 for it. My wife saw on Facebook someone in our town who picks up the mattresses that people don't want after their 90 or 100 or 180 or 360 day trial, and then resells them. So they are lightly used and she was really good about cleaning them, etc. And we got it for half that price. So I would look on your classifieds or Facebook Marketplace and see if so...

Red Fort Cuisine of India - 148 S 1470 E - St George, UT

 Red Fort is a really authentic Indian Restaurant with really authentically delicious Indian food. Location: https://g.page/red-fort-cuisine-of-india?share The atmosphere is really fun, with the decor and tables and dress of the servers and staff and overhead ceiling fans all adding to the experience. I have never been here and not had a server who is actually Indian, which is also really cool. Good 1, as mentioned above, the decor and atmosphere are just really cool. I believe this building used to be a church (someone correct me if I'm wrong), and it has some cool tall windows that are used really artfully in the restaurant. The tables, the benches, the overhead ceiling fans - even the napkins and cups and serving dishes - add to the feel of the restaurant.  2, the staff are very professional and nice and do a great job - even with a high volume of customers as this place is very popular (and rightly so) 3, my favorite dish is the Chicken Tikka Masala. It is so, so deli...
