The Blue Lion

The Blue Lion was built as a residential home in the late 1930’s. There was a gentleman from Logan, Utah who dined with us in the summer of 2012 who said he was born and raised in the house. In 1974 Maury Holmes bought the house and turned it into a fondue restaurant called The Tourist Trap. Karen Scott bought it from Maury in 1976 and started The Blue Lion. Karen learned to cook at a school in France and this being her first job, she was sad and blue that she finally had to go to work and her birth sign was a Leo thus, The Blue Lion. The restaurant has been enlarged several times, the upstairs dining, the kitchen, the waiting area and the outdoor deck. In the winter The Blue Lion can accommodate 60 diners at one time. In the summer we open the deck enabling us to accommodate 80 diners. At times the upstairs is used for small private parties. The Blue Lion serves dinner year-round at 5:30 pm with outdoor dining in the summer and life acoustic guitar music most nights to compliment your dinner.”
