Virgin is a small town in southern Utah, just a short drive from Zion National Park. It sits along the Virgin River, and like many communities in the Beehive State, has pioneer roots that date back to the mid-1800s. While there is much to love about this town and plenty to see and do, when hunger strikes there is one place you must go — Balcony One. This southern Utah restaurant offers inspiring panoramic views. A visit here will quickly make you realize why so many people love this area of the state.

Balcony One is an American restaurant with a Mediterranean twist. Here, you’ll find a dinner menu featuring a variety of dishes, a delightful cocktail bar, and views you’ll never want to forget. You can find Balcony One at 770 West State Road 9 in Virgin.

It seems like every detail of this restaurant is designed to impress. Inside, you’ll find a brightly decorated dining room with eye-catching décor. However, if you are like me, you’ll want to dine on the outdoor patio and enjoy the view. Guests 21 years and older are allowed on the outdoor patio and here, they can receive panoramic views of the landscape that this area is well known for. Plus, it isn't uncommon to enjoy live music as you dine, truly elevating your experience.

While the vibe of this Virgin, Utah restaurant is certainly impressive, so is the food. The menu is packed with a variety of fresh dishes from appetizers and entrees to a children’s menu and delicious desserts. With so many delicious options on the menu, you may have a hard choice choosing your meal. The menu features items such as ribeye, pork chops, and oven-roasted chicken. There are also items like the seared ahi tuna, which is flown in fresh from Hawaii. And, of course, pair your meal with a cocktail and you have a dining experience to remember.

While children may not be allowed to sit on the outdoor patio, there are still plenty of things they’ll love about this restaurant — including the food. The children’s menu features items like pizza, grilled cheese sandwiches and chips, penne, and more. The children’s menu items are only $10 each.

For me, a sweet treat is the perfect way to end a meal and at Balcony One, there are delicious desserts available such as the house-made cheesecake, baklava, and flourless chocolate torte.

In addition to the incredible environment, great views, and fabulous food, Balcony One also has additional amenities and services such as a large banquet room that can seat up to 40 people and a free chauffeur service that will take you to and from the restaurant and bar.
