Not a meatloaf person? We’d still give this one a chance.

The Mineral Springs Smoked Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf has earned its place among Black Sage favorites, showing up in guest reviews time and again, even from folks who never thought they’d say they loved meatloaf.

Wrapped in smoky bacon and served with whipped potatoes, seasonal vegetables, Southwest pan gravy, and crispy onions, it’s comfort food with a little Black Sage character.

Our menu follows the seasons, shaped by fresh ingredients and Chef Charles’ creativity. But some dishes earn a place at the table a little longer. This is one of them.

Fall at Black Sage is fleeting. For a little while longer, our patio is open to the desert and its sunlit mesas, glorious temperatures, and evenings made for lingering over dinner.

Soon, the temporary windows and walls will go up for winter, creating a warm, intimate setting for the cooler months.

Until then, there’s still time to enjoy Southern Utah at its most beautiful, paired with a seasonal, farm-to-table dinner from Black Sage.

Reserve your table and savor fall while it lasts.

This holiday season, gather your people somewhere a little unexpected.

Up Dalton Wash Road, surrounded by Southern Utah’s mesas and desert landscape, Black Sage offers a setting that feels worlds away from the usual holiday party with a dining experience to match.

For gatherings of 15 or more, Chef Charles Parcell creates a seasonal, farm-to-table feast specifically for your celebration. Served family-style and inspired by the best ingredients available that season, every gathering receives its own menu.

There’s no menu to choose or dishes to select. Instead, leave the culinary details to Chef Charles and arrive ready for an elegant, thoughtfully crafted feast designed to be shared around the table. Our culinary team is happy to accommodate dietary restrictions whenever possible with advance notice, while allowing the menu itself to remain a delicious surprise.

Begin with a grazing board, settle into our private dining room, and let the evening unfold — course by course, conversation by conversation, with the desert landscape just beyond the windows.

Gather your people. Leave the menu to Charles Parcell and Black Sage.

You might recognize the hand.

The October issue of St. George City Lifestyle (St George City Lifestyle) is out, and Black Sage is making a pretty prominent appearance.

That hand placing the finishing touches on the cover dish? That’s Executive Chef Charles Parcell captured in his element, bringing a little more of the Black Sage story to the table.

Inside, a four-page feature offers a glimpse into the chef behind the menu: his Appalachian roots, his approach to farm-to-table and whole-animal cooking, and the creative philosophy that keeps things changing at Black Sage.

Chef even shares one of his favorite recipes ... pickled strawberries, a bright and unexpected little taste of the creativity that happens in our kitchen.

We’re proud to see Black Sage and Chef Charles featured so prominently in our community, and even happier to share a little more of what makes this place, and our Chef, so special.

Black Sage began with a simple idea: give Open Sky guests a reason to stay.

Rather than leave the resort just as the light turned golden, we wanted guests to be able to settle in, watch the sunlight dance across the mesas and experience those fleeting hours when the desert seems to glow from within, all while enjoying a thoughtful meal just steps from their camp.

It started humbly, with a food truck and picnic tables.

Over time, that little gathering place evolved into Black Sage: an elevated dining experience rooted in seasonal ingredients, thoughtful technique, and the distinctive character of Southern Utah.

And today, Black Sage isn’t only for those staying at Open Sky. We welcome guests from nearby resorts, visitors exploring Zion, and anyone looking for a memorable table in an extraordinary setting.

What began as a way to keep our guests close to the magic has become a destination in its own right.

For your next date night, do something memorable.

Start with a hike in Zion National Park. Take the long way. Watch the light move across the cliffs. Find a trail you haven’t explored together yet.

Then, as the day begins to soften, make your way up Dalton Wash Road to Black Sage.

Settle in for dinner ... seasonal, farm-to-table cooking from Chef Charles Parcell, a table with a view, and a little time to linger over the meal.

And don’t call it a night just yet. After dinner, head out beneath Southern Utah’s famously dark skies with a local stargazing guide. Dark Skies Astronomy Tours, Desert Bound Adventures, and Stargazing Zion each offer their own way to experience the night sky, from guided constellation viewing to telescope time beneath the stars.

A little adventure. A beautiful meal. A sky full of stars. Memories made.

What’s on the menu tonight?

At Black Sage, the answer is always changing.

Chef Charles’ farm-to-table menu follows the seasons and the ingredients available to us. Some dishes become Black Sage favorites, staying with us for a while, and disappearing for a bit before they make their way back again. Others are here for a season, a moment, or simply because Chef was inspired to put it on the plate.

Right now, you might find our Pretzel Board, Local Shiitake Mushrooms, Stuffed Fire-Roasted Poblano, Mineral Springs Smoked Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf, or Smoked Jackfruit Mac and “Cheese” among the offerings. Each reflects our approach to bold flavors, thoughtful technique, and ingredients that speak to the place we call home.

You can always take a look at the current dinner menu on our website before you arrive. But there’s a little more to discover once you’re at the table. Nightly features and desserts may be in the works, too.

Or, skip the preview altogether. Some of the best discoveries happen at the table.

Dinner tastes a little different when the journey is part of it.

Black Sage is tucked 3.5 miles up Dalton Wash Road, beyond the pavement and into the landscape of Southern Utah. The drive takes you a little farther from the everyday, and along the way, the desert opens up in all its quiet beauty.

And then you arrive.

Settle in at the table, take in the mesas, and let Chef Charles’ seasonal cuisine carry the evening. As the light changes across the landscape, dinner becomes more than a meal, but also part of the place.

Some destinations are worth the drive. Black Sage is one of them.

May we fill your glass?

At Black Sage, the dining experience extends well beyond the plate. From the first sip to the final pour, our beverage offerings are thoughtfully selected and, in some cases, crafted right here in the kitchen.

Begin with sparkling water or our fresh reverse-osmosis water, then explore a thoughtfully curated selection of wines, craft beers and hard ciders to complement the evening.

Looking for something without the alcohol? Our craft sodas, iced tea and house-crafted mocktails bring the same spirit of creativity and care to the glass.

And then there’s coffee. Yes, even with dinner. Especially with dessert.

Whatever finds its way into your glass, there’s something satisfying about settling in at Black Sage, taking in the landscape and letting the evening unfold. One course, one conversation, and one perfectly chosen sip at a time.

Where does the name Black Sage come from?

As you turn off the highway and head into the serene canyon home of our restaurant, you pass towering cliff faces of black lava rock, telling the story of how this region was shaped so many years ago.

The sagebrush stretching across the desert landscape provides the second half of our name, an amazing contrast against the dark rock and rugged surroundings.

Black lava. Desert sage. A name drawn directly from the landscape around us.

Inspired by nature, farm-to-table by choice. This is Black Sage.
