Review of Montage Deer Valley

We used to stay at the Montage on special occasion...

We used to stay at the Montage on special occasions, but my experiences at the spa (alone and with groups) in the last two years have sent me to the Stein Erikson Lodge, which is more customer-friendly with better food. The spa facility is beautiful, but if you get hungry while there (and you will!), don't expect a meal. While the spa offers an enticing lunch menu, by the time it's delivered to you, two hours too late, cold, and wrong, it does not remotely resemble the menu. Even if you figure this out and place an order when you arrive at the spa, it won't happen. Whatever time you expect to eat, plan for a two-hour delay and multiple server trips between spa and restaurant (on opposite sides of the building). If you are with a group, the mistakes will be on an epic scale and not one order will be correctly executed. If you mention you might like some ketchup with those lukewarm fries, you're looking at another 30 minutes or never. For these reasons, I'm out.
