Utah Style & Design‘s sister publication Salt Lake magazine just announced the 2012 Dining Awards winners, but since this is utahstyleanddesign.com, we’re going to start with the winner our readers care about most.

Best Design
Silver. 508 Main St., Park City, 435-940-1000

Cobalt blue mohair. It’s the first thing we heard about this posh Park City restaurant and the last thing we remember. Truly, this is one of the most eye-popping interiors ever seen on Main Street. At the same, it’s right at home in Park City because of all the visual references to the town’s silver mining past.
