I will be in Jackson Hole next week and any recs as to where to eat and drink are greatly appreciated. I have reservations one night at Wild Sage, anywhere else that I must hit?

Jenny Lake lodge is good, but expensive. I like the Jackson Lake lodge for the view. Be sure to stop at the wine store near the Jackson Hole airport and clean them out (name escapes me, but has a grocery store and barbeque, etc). Always a great selection.

Earlier notes on this....

Just an FYI that Jackson Hole (and I guess all of Wyoming, if there are other "destinations" other than Jackson and Yellowstone) is BYO Friendly.

On a return trip last week we made reservations at several restaurants well in advance, inquired about BYO and ended up bringing several bottles on our roadtrip through the state.

Recommended Jackson restaurants -

Snake River Griill - Have dined here at least three times over the years. Located right on the square downtown, the food is solid, a bit noisy but recommended nonetheless. We never found a "real" manager or sommelier with whom we could share a sample of our wine and were charged $20 corkage.

The Granary - Located at Spring Creek Ranch / Amangani on a butte over the town. We stayed at Spring Creek before and during this trip, but it was our first dinner here. Outstanding and unobstructed view of the Tetons from their floor-to-ceiling windows. Very good food, shared a sample of our wine with the staff and were not charged corkage, which I believe is $15 otherwise.

Wild Sage (at the Rusty Parrot Lodge) - Three blocks off the square downtown, this establishment has only six tables surrounding its open-air kitchen and was the restaurant of the trip. Mussels and Crabcakes were among the finest we've had anywhere. Elk tenderloin and wild salmon special were also outstanding. We had a little leftover Pax Lauterbach Hill from the prior night as well as a bottle of
Quilceda that we shared with the Chef and waiter, and corkage was again waived. This is a MUST-VISIT restaurant, even if you're staying at the Mountain resort 10 or so miles from downtown.

During other visits we've stayed and dined at Jenny Lake Lodge in Grand Teton Park. The most beautiful spot in the world in IMHO, and without a doubt the finest dining you'll ever find in any National Park.

Also, check your return flight times, or make sure that you're set with the airline for notification of flight time changes. Two times I've had a United Express flight out of Jackson pushed earlier out of weather concerns, and what were nearly full planes when looking at the seat inventory were anything but full due to the departure.
