With a renewed emphasis on local flavors and coastal foodways, Rime Seafood + Steak at St. Regis Deer Valley has been reimagining its space as a culinary escape for locals as well as out-of-towners. Traveling to Rime requires an amuse-bouche funicular ride with a view for miles. The oceanic menu starts with a raw bar that defies our inland nature, while local specialties from elk, honey, beans, melons and mushrooms pepper the menu. While “rime” translates to “the frost formed on cold objects by the rapid freezing,” it would be a mistake to think of it as only a winter place. Rime shows up beautifully in the summer for drinks on the patio overlooking meadows of wildflowers and aspen trees.
