Park City and Deer Valley questions

One more question about Park City. I'm told by people in the know that we should be making dinner reservations at restaurants in Park City now for the Presidents' Holiday week when we will be skiing in PC. We're staying right on Main St. near the Town Lift. Does anyone have any suggestions for restaurants to eat at? It will be myself, my wife, and our 11-year old daughter who has typical kid's tastes in food (i.e., nothing too fancy, although she will eat some Japanese food). It might be nice to have at least one good meal while we're there. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Two cautions:

Chenez: Classical French - you might have this recommended to you. It's excellent, with impeccable service, but I feel it's extremely overpriced.

Zoom: owned by Robert Redford, it's apparently slid in quality a bit. Not bad, but not the great it once was (esp. at Park City prices).



Disclaimers:
Reservations are not only highly recommended, but required at a number of places. You may have to provide a credit card number when making them. (Utahns are notorious for not only not showing for a reservation, but not even calling to cancel. I know of several places where a no show with no cancel = $100 charge to your card.)

I don't have kids and I avoid fine dining with them if they're under 16 or thereabouts, thus, I have no idea how the menus would work for an 11 yr old.

Fine dining restaurants on Main Street in the Old Town / Historic district are fairly expensive. Be prepared for this. Don't be shocked at $75/person for dinner (which can easily go higher) when it's all totaled.

Not all of the above are on Main Street - some will require transportation of some sort, but being a resident with a car, I know only that some kind of shuttle bus system exists. I'll leave it to you to search out the details.
 
On (right near) Main Street - we have enjoyed Jean Louis and our friends who live in town really like Shabu.

For lunch/breakfast - we always hit Morning Ray Cafe - the Eating Establishment has good breakfast also.

This trip we hit Chez Betty (near Jans) which was really good -

Have never gone wrong with Stein's and my one trip to Mariposa was good although I was saw zonked from travel and hard skiing I was almost in a coma.

If you trek to Salt Lake, we had a really great meal at Cucina Toscana a couple years ago.
