Profile Draft
Anasazi Steakhouse on Sunset Boulevard is one of St. George's longer-running fine-dining steakhouses, co-owned by executive chef Gary Smith and Mark Ziegler. The format is unusual for the region — tableside hot-stone cooking that lets diners finish their own steak and seafood — and the dining room shares space with rotating local art, sometimes branded as Anasazi Steakhouse & Gallery. Smith has been at the restaurant for more than fifteen years, anchoring the kitchen identity while the gallery side rotates work.
For 435 Alliance, Anasazi is a clear locally owned, chef-driven destination with a clean ownership story.
Unresolved Questions
- Founding year — not surfaced. "Over 15 years" with Smith implies pre-2010 but does not confirm opening.
- Operating LLC and any sister concepts (the steakhouse-plus-gallery format may run under a single entity or two).
