In 2003, longtime manager of Café Terigo, Travis Axtell, brought style back to the old 1895 Telephone Building on Main Street when he renovated the space for his American Western restaurant, Purple Sage. After the painstaking overhaul, Purple Sage emerged as a stunningly beautiful restaurant unique to Park City.

The long, narrow room is lined with purple, milk-glass lampshades that lend a soft, warm glow complimented by purple-tufted booths. Hand-painted scrims of purple sage stems hang from the ceiling, dividing the booths and creating an intimate dining experience. In the back, the bar area tables are surrounded by a western scene of bucking bronco riders, majestic purple mountains and lots of big blue sky, painted by local artist Wes Wright.

Diners in the private dining room upstairs can watch skiers maneuver a tree-lined run or see bustling tourists on Main Street below. Summer dining is on the picket fence- enclosed deck, lined with umbrellas and a galaxy of tiny lights.
