Il Posto Rosso

From the minute we arrived at The Radcliffe, we sensed this restaurant was something special. We couldn’t make dinner reservations work but after seeing the Chef in the lobby, we were thrilled to know they serve breakfast and lunch. We had THE most amazing meal. I only wish we were here longer to enjoy this place!

Every dish was delicious. My husband and I started with a shared plate of the carbonara style pasta, very light on the cream. Then shared a tomahawk pork chop that was juicy, flavorful amd perfectly cooked. We had cauliflower as a side amd it was rave worthy. Then we topped it off with the caramel pudding. Just the perfect finish.

This was a big surprise, what an amazing place in such a small town. Delicious food with an amazing presentation. Service was excellent and we are going again on our way back home.

If you are looking for a super cheap meal … there are plenty of other options in Moab. IPR is our go to for DELICIOUS meals with high quality ingredients served by a very knowledgeable and FRIENDLY team. We’ve had breakfast and dinner there and every visit has been a TREAT. This place is a standout!

There was a 9 o clock reservation available on open table so I call to ask if they had that spot over the phone. Lady said no we don’t have that spot tonight we’re fully booked. I told her I saw the spot on open table but didn’t have my credit card on me to book it, she said oh that’s weird we don’t have anything and literally cancelled the spot that second so I could no longer book it on open table even if I got my brothers credit card. Rude!

The food is fresh and delicious 😋 Tyson, one of the chefs, chatted with us to ask how we liked our breakfast. They cheerfully met my dietary limitations. Service was excellent!

Two of us walked into Posto Rosso at 8:14pm this evening. The hostess told us last seating was at 8pm and there was nothing she could do about it. Sorry. (Note there were numerous empty tables)

Posto Rosso has a closing time of 9pm. Here are my quick thoughts on the place & I’m happy I wasn’t seated.

1. The Hostess wore no mask. There is no requirement in Moab but I think potential patrons should know this.
2. Posto Rosso isn’t in a separate space. It is in the lobby of a hotel. The restaurant is actually connected to the lobby and only a few plants separate the two. It feels very loud and busy because of this.
3. Note the tables are extremely close together and the entire seating space is very small. Not a great place to eat if you are at all concerned about Covid.
4. The restaurant doesn’t feel intimate or private at all. With the complete lack of ambience its hard to justify the high prices they charge.

Overall I think it’s best to avoid this Posto Rosso. There is so much better value and hospitality in Moab. There are many other great choices for food and Posto Rosso just isn’t worth your time or money.

What an unexpected surprise! On vacation, celebrating our anniversary, we wanted dinner to be special. Yelp had good reviews so we chose to dine here and very pleased! The service was great and the chef outstanding!!

We wanted a good rib eye steak. They spent a lot of time telling us how great their farm to table food is and then convinced us we should share a 36 ounce steak. When food arrived it was a smaller steak, what looked like pork, and no potatoes, which we had ordered. We told them it was not what we ordered. Then they came back with same small steak and a little later the potatoes. Steak was gristly, not flavorful. They offered to charge only for potatoes but we insisted on paying. Then they brought a bill for at least $20 more than what we had ordered. Very confused bunch, albeit friendly enough. Dont go to this place. Way overhyped and overpriced and no salad available and all is ala carte. In response to their latest comment - the main problem was that she told us we should share the "at least 36 ounce rib eye" and on two occasions we pointed out to her that it was not a 36 ounce steak. (looked like 18 ounce to 20 ounce and I'm being generous). It should have looked like a roast. No one ever addressed that concern. $65.00 for steak and $8 for potatoes to share along with a carafe of water does not seem like it should have totalled $96 but we just wanted out of the place because the 2nd hostess started making snide comments.

Food and service was good. Fries for kids could be better. The gratuity percentage is over 15% (which is included into total.)
