SUNDANCE, UTAH — The iconic Tree Room, Sundance Mountain Resort’s signature fine dining restaurant, embarks on a new year with an enlivened space and a fresh winter menu. Rooted in rich heritage and history, the storied restaurant and its reimagined Library Lounge is open for guests to experience the next chapter of Sundance Mountain Resort dining.
“The Tree Room has been thoughtfully updated, and the Library Lounge introduces a more refined, intimate lounge experience,” said Sundance Mountain Resort Senior Director of Food & Beverage Manny Rozehnal. “We focused on adding warmth and energy without changing what people already love about the Tree Room.”
Built in 1970 as Robert Redford’s first structure at Sundance, the Tree Room’s dining room was constructed around a living tree, reflecting a philosophy of harmony with nature that still defines the space today. Refreshed with subtle intention, the Tree Room’s modern refinements add warmth and renewed energy without losing the restaurant’s timeless essence. The space continues to lean into natural materials, the surrounding trees, and long-standing details, including Robert Redford’s Native American art collection. The Native American rug remains an important artifact, honoring craftsmanship and tradition, while the Kachina dolls add artistry and storytelling to the space. New live-edge wood tables sourced from a single tree, updated chairs, and banquette seating, along with refreshed china, glassware, silver, and textures, help the room feel more energized while still familiar.
The Tree Room also ushers in a new winter menu, featuring enticing starters of tuna tartare, Wagyu cheek, and scallops, heartwarming soup, and bountiful salads. Exquisite entrees include the signature Tree Room Pepper Steak, Chilean sea bass, lamb loin, and Joyce Farms duck breast, paired with an award-winning wine list.
The new Library Lounge, formerly reserved as a private dining room, will be open to the public this winter. Anchored by the space’s original fireplace, the Library has been redesigned as a cozy spot for cocktails and small plates in an elevated alpine setting. The Library’s small bites menu offers pomme frites, blood orange beets with herbed goat cheese and pistachio, wild greens with winter squash, lentil croquettes, Wagyu sliders, steak tartare, and pork belly. Sweet finishes include berries and custard, an affogato featuring Millcreek Coffee Roasters coffee, and a decadent mousse flight to cap an unforgettable dining experience.
The Library Lounge is open seven days a week, 5 – 9 p.m. The Tree Room’s main dining room is open Tuesday – Saturday, 5 – 9 p.m. Reservations are available at 866-627-8313 or sundanceresort.com.
