- AangelaPittsburgh / Western PA •8 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 26, 2026Our experience at the Cosmopolitan grill was so good. It was a little hard to find using GPS, but a quick call and they helped us out. Our waitress, Mayra, was absolutely wonderful. We were the last table and she still was so kind and spent the time with us to make it a memorable experience. She gave us a lot of great recommendations for dinner. I had the filet medallions and my boyfriend had the king salmon. Both dishes were amazing! I just wanted to say thank you for a memorable experience and caring to make our night out great!More infoCosmopolitan Grill$$$$• International• St. George•4.6

Discover Southwest Utah
Southwest Utah is a region of great beauty and excellent cuisine. You may come for awesome attractions like Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park, but you'll want to stay for the food. Start off with a freshly made salad including baby greens, diced apple, jicama, pomegranate, roasted cremini mushrooms and Marcona almonds, all dressed with Utah cider vinaigrette. Gear up for an entrée like chicken breast stuffed with Granny Smith apple, mushrooms and Brie cheese served over a rich cream sauce. As befitting a region favored by lovers of the outdoors, more casual options, like burgers, wraps and pizza, can also be found at local diners and quick-serve restaurants. Don't forget to enjoy a tangy teriyaki chicken burger made to order with avocado peelings, grilled onions and a thickly sliced tomato.
