Wood Ash Rye

We celebrated my wife's birthday at W.A.R., and it was an excellent experience. The space is extremely warm and welcoming, the customer service is too notch, and the food was very good. We tried the biscuits, brussel sprouts, nigiri, and the elk gnocchi. It was very eclectic but outstanding. The mint swiss roll dessert was phenomenal.

The arrachera sauce on the carrots was my personal mouth watering favorite. The restaurant provided a stunning ambience. Cherry on top, the owner Jason took the time, after getting wind of our intrigue of the specific sauces, to come to our table personally to discuss and share the kitchen’s secret. And he most certainly didn’t stop there. He Invited us to try an off the menu item his dessert chef was currently working on. We soon discovered they are working towards creating a gluten free menu for those that would want or need such careful preparation of food!

The best place in St George! The biscuits are huge and flaky / fluffy! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! The dessert is amazing! Really good vegan and gluten free options. It’s a must stop!

This is one of my favorite restaurants so I better leave a review. We were able to eat here three times in the last year even though we’re not local and it was delightful. The atmosphere is charming, the girl who served us (why can’t I remember her name? Beautiful freckled face) was fantastic and she served us all three times. One of the times was with a bunch of families with young kids and she was so patient with everyone (I don’t recommend bringing a lot of kids). As for the food, amazing! So many great flavors—I didn’t want to ever stop eating and lovely watching my family’s faces who I could tell felt the same. I love the variety of vegetables (those Brussel sprouts are divine!) and the many gluten free and vegan options. Hopefully next time we’ll save room for dessert. There are a bunch I’d love to try. Thanks for being so great Wood Ash Rye!

We had the most amazing experience!! I made a reservation for 25 people with one days notice and they made it happen. Sadie and Carie were on top of it. And STEVIE!!! Omg this young lady was incredible, the flow of food and drinks was nonstop. It was like there were five servers but it was just Stevie. Food was amazing and delicious and the drinks Daniel made were so tasty. I highly recommend Wood Ash Rye if you are in the St George area. Gary & Connie Schultz

Had an incredible birthday dinner here…Ashly was our server and she was terrific! She didn’t rush us and seemed to check in just when we needed her. The food was excellent, and I highly recommend the filet, green beans and Yukon gold potatoes…everything was delicious and prepared perfectly! The bread was heaven, perfectly light and airy on the inside and crispy on the outside… salted butter and berry jam was a bonus! My husband had the WAR cocktail and loved it! So glad to have found something in St George that is not your typical boring Utah chain restaurant serving Diet Coke…Will return next time we’re in town!

We dined at Wood Ash Rye for our anniversary, and it ended up being one of the best surprises of our trip as we had a less than desirable experience a newer "fine" dining restaurant a different day. This wasn’t a planned stop—we were actually referred here by our hotel’s front desk host, who also made the reservation and let the restaurant know about our celebration. From the moment we arrived, the team went above and beyond to make us feel special. We were seated at a small, more private table set away from the busier dining area—a thoughtful touch that felt intentional. On the table was a handwritten card congratulating us on our anniversary, along with a note that dessert would be on the house. Those little details really set the tone for the night. Our server explained that the menu was meant to be a shared dining experience and gave us some great recommendations. We ordered the seasonal brie, mashed potatoes, filet, and gnocchi. While we were waiting, the head chef stopped by our table and generously offered us their Brussels sprouts dish to try, on the house. That gesture alone was memorable, but the food itself was incredible. The standout dish for us was the gnocchi—absolutely phenomenal and something we could not get enough of. To finish, we tried the hazelnut, cocoa, and chile pepper crème brûlée. At first we were skeptical of the flavor combination, but it completely won us over—it was rich, unique, and delicious. Everything about this dinner—from the service, to the chef’s thoughtfulness, to the quality of the food—made it a highlight of our anniversary trip. We highly recommend Wood Ash Rye to anyone looking for an elevated, shared dining experience.
