Sky Box

Had a great round of golf yesterday at Fox Hollow in American Fork. My dad's buddy Steve was in town and the three of us had a blast (yours truly notching the only birdie on the day :) After spending way more than our quota of time in Utah County on a Sunday, we decided that we needed a place that we could get a beer...and maybe some decent food in the process. I have been to the Gateway location on a few occasions, but mostly just to tip back a few and watch some games, so it's never been much of an eating destination. That said, I noticed that a new one had opened up in the South part of the valley (right by Mulligan's on 10600 S.) and I knew it to be a reliable place to get a sunday drink in Utah, so off we went.
After quenching our thirst with an Evolution Amber (nice and smooth), Cutthroat (Steve - a bit hoppy for me), and Pacifico (Dad - SoCal boy, what do you expect?) our waitress informed us that the best thing on the menu was the Halibut and Chips, and 1-2-3 orders went to the kitchen. We munched on some surprisingly good fish while watching Tiger make his run at Bridgestone (is there a more competitive person in sports? I don't think so). The Halibut was flaky, moist, and tasty inside a surprisingly light and crispy batter. Three good-sized pieces was just the right amount, and I was impressed because it is hard to find good fish in Utah. A lot of places don't get it very fresh, and others tend to overcook Halibut, making it dry and flavorless. The fries were an afterthought, pretty average but made better with a little malt vinegar. A second Evolution wrapped up a meal that, to my surprise, is worth going back for.
