Ponderosa Restaurant

Fine dining arrived in Escalante with Hungarian chef Imi Kun, who opened this upscale restaurant in 1996. Located in an elegant log cabin behind the Prospector Inn, the dining room has a high raftered ceiling and is decorated with photos and prints of American Indians and the western United States. Lunch choices include American basics such as fried chicken-breast strips, Cajun turkey, and barbecue beef sandwiches, while the European side of the menu offers Hungarian chicken paprikash, seafood linguini, and Wiener schnitzel. At dinner, there's soup, including double consommé with vegetables, and entrees such as stroganoff fricassee-a top sirloin fricassee with mushrooms, pickles, and mustard in a sour cream sauce. No alcohol is served.
