Last night for Valentine's Day we went out to one of my favorite Restaurants, Epic Casual Dining in Midvale. Epic Casual Dining is located at about 700 East and Ft. Union Blvd in Midvale. Epic Casual Dining is open from 5pm to 10 pm.
One of the things that I like the most about Epic is their menu because it is simple. Epic's menu consists of about 5 appetizers, 5 salads, and 5 entrees to choose from. This is great for guys like me who have a tough time choosing their dish if there are too many to choose from.
For an appetizer we got their Flatbread with chicken, walnuts, cranberry cheese and a tasty green sauce lightly drizzled on top of it. We always get this appetizer when we go to Epic and it is tasty!
This year neither one of us was in the mood for a salad but in the past we have ordered their salads and I would highly recommend any salad at Epic!
This year I decided to try something a little bit different on their menu, the Ahi Tuna with Epic's Peanut Sauce over Rice and Vegetables. It was fantastic! My wife got their Chicken Marsala dish and it was also tasty!
We topped the our "Dining Experience" off we shared a piece of cheesecake which was delicious!
If you love flavor then try Epic Casual Dining in Midvale! Perhaps the best thing about Epic is that every dish is full of flavor! I highly recommend this Restaurant!!!!

Holiday Inn and the Palms Restaurant in St. George
Right now I'm down in St. George at the Holiday Inn which I would highly recommend to any family traveling in St. George.
The Holiday Inn in St. George has a great setup for families. For the price you can't beat it. It has an indoor/outdoor pool, small arcade and a game room with both pool and ping pong tables.
The Holiday Inn in St. George also has a restaurant attached to it, The Palms Restaurant of St. George! Their breakfast is great! Yesterday I had the Colossal Breakfast Burrito which was excellent and like the name says it was Colossal! Today I had the Cinnamon French Toast with Eggs and Ham. The portions at The Palms Restaurant in St. George are huge. I couldn't finish my breakfast this morning it was so big! One added bonus is that kids under the age of 12 eat breakfast, lunch and dinner for free!!!
I would highly recommend The Palms Restaurant in St. George especially for Breakfast.

Paradise Bakery and Cafe
Last night we ate out at Paradise Bakery and Cafe off of 72nd South in Salt Lake City. Paradise Bakery and Cafe is a Franchise based out of and was established in 1976.
I ordered the Chicken Artichoke Panini Sandwich. It was about a 7 out of 10. My wife ate the Thai Chicken Sandwich. She liked it.
The pros of Paradise Bakery and cafe are that they have a wide selection on their menu. They have various sandwiches, soups and salads. They also have a decent selection of desserts.
The cons of the Paradise Bakery and Cafe definitely outweigh the pros. I didn't like the atmosphere...too big. It almost felt like you were in the school lunchroom. I had two major issues with the way that Paradise Bakery and Cafe operates. The first is that they reuse their cups. Are they so cheap that they can't give you paper cups that you can throw away or take with you? Second was the fact that their food is pre-packaged! At least some of it. My wife originally wanted their Thai Chicken Wrap but when she asked them to make it without the green onions they said that they couldn't because they come pre-packaged. To me that's a huge turn off...especially for an establishment that calls itself a "bakery".
I would have to give Paradise Bakery and Cafe about a 6 out of 10. Go try it for yourself and let me know what you think!
