Rocking V Cafe Review

After 25 years in the television industry, Vicky and Victor Cooper switched gears, bought the old 1892 mercantile in downtown Kanab, and opened this delightfully artsy eatery. The "slow food" prepared in the Rocking V's kitchen is loaded with fresh ingredients, with an emphasis on great produce -- vegan is not a problem here. Dinner entrees like Thai curry, red trout crusted with cornmeal and pumpkinseeds, and Southwestern polenta cakes with chili-tomatillo sauce give you an idea of the breadth of influences driving the menu. Meat-eaters, don't be discouraged -- try the buffalo tenderloin. Everything is made in-house, from the breads to the soups to the mouthwatering desserts. (Top pick: the Key lime pie.) The Coopers' place is a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds: Original art hangs on the walls and in the second-story Rafters Gallery, showcasing regional talent.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
