You'll want to get your tickets early for Bearclaw Supper Club, a special event held a few times during the summer at Sundance. The food is spectacular, and the views from the top of the mountain are unparalleled.
Enjoy a sunset unlike any other on the patio of Cafe Diablo. The food here is good, too...and you'll want to try to rattlesnake cakes. 599 W. Main Sreet, State Road 24, Torrey.
One of the nicest restaurants in Saint George, Cliffside also offers a stunning view of the city. 511 S. Airport Road, Saint George.
The next time you're in Moab, you need to enjoy dinner at Cowboy Grill. The sunset over the river is just gorgeous. Milepost 14, Highway 128, Moab.
Em's is a longtime favorite with Salt Lake residents (and anyone who finds themselves on Capitol Hill). The building is a century-old charmer, and the patio couldn't be more adorable. And the food? Locally-sourced and fresh as can be. 271 N. Center Street, Salt Lake City
Log Haven wins the prize for Most Romantic Restaurant, and the patio dining won't disappoint, either. You'll be surrounded by the beauty of Millcreek Canyon, and the food is just divine. 6451 E Millcreek Canyon Road, Salt Lake City.
Patio dining at The Oaks means a fabulous view of the Ogden river. This casual dining spot is always popular, but in the warm months, it's epic. 750 Ogden Canyon, Ogden.
Oasis Cafe is the place to go if you want to be surrounded by pretty flowers and the sounds of water fountains. The awning keeps things shady and cool, and the food is fresh and delicious. 151 S. 500 E., Salt Lake City.
Ruth's Diner is located in Emigration Canyon, and its patio makes you feel like you're in the heart of the mountains. It's nice and shady and has plenty of seating, though you'll definitely wait for a table here on the weekends. It's well worth the wait! 4160 E Emigration Canyon Road, Salt Lake City.
Head for Big Cottonwood Canyon to enjoy a delicious meal on the deck at Silver Fork Lodge. Breathe in that clean, mountain air and enjoy the views. Watch the hummingbird feeders for some entertainment. 11332 E Big Cottonwood Canyon Road, Brighton.
