BILL WHITE ENTERPRISES

Our Company Properties + History

Grappa - Bill White opened Grappa in 1992. It was the first restaurant that started Bill White Enterprises.  The building is over 100 years old and sits at the top of Main Street. It was home to a brothel, bed and breakfast, and a bar to name a few. Grappa has three dining room floors and patios offering beautiful gardens and water features that highlight from five different levels. Grappa serves regional Italian food. Bill weaved his influences from abroad, and used his French Culinary influences to blend in the flavor and textures of Italy. We incorporated three important business factors that we use to this very day: Food, Service and Ambiance.  The next four years would prove a positive one, because it is then in 1996 that we opened Chimayo Southwestern Restaurant.

Chimayo - Chimayo is located toward the middle of Main Street. It offers rustic décor that is reminiscent of Old World New Mexico and serves eclectic Spanish influenced food. The word “Chimayo” means “sacred place” and is designed after The Chimayo Mission in New Mexico. It is believed that the actual dirt from the mission has a healing power.

Windy Ridge Cafe - In 2002, we opened the Windy Ridge Café. The café has since become a favorite of Parkites around and offers a gourmet deli, bakery and café. The café serves lunch and dinner and has since become more popular than ever. The patio is also a summer highlight! The Windy Ridge Café is located on Ironhorse drive. In 2005, we finished the construction of our new Bakery and serve fresh bakery items, specialty cakes and soups. 

Ghidotti's - Also completed in 2005, Ghidotti’s Italian Restaurant was the next phase of our Restaurant Group. After over a decade of hard work, with great employees and the three factors, we stand as one of the most successful Restaurant Groups in Park City. An honor we share with each other each day.

Sushi Blue - In April 2012, we took over the lease of previous restaurant Hapa Grill, slightly reworked the menu, updated the kitchen, and decorated the interior. Sushi Blue has a variety of unique items from the fresh sushi items to the Kobe Beef Hot Dog and Korean Street Tacos. Sushi Blue took on a more casual atmosphere, while still upholding service standards within the company.

Billy Blanco's - In July of 2013, construction was completed on Billy Blanco’s Motor City Mexican. Blanco’s is located in Quarry Village, just off the Jeremy Ranch exit. Blanco’s offers an eclectic menu ranging from tacos and fajitas to fried chicken and burgers. It sports a casual atmosphere inspired by Bill’s hometown Detroit. From the original Graffiti, to Bill’s collection of motorcycles and cars.  Blanco’s take’s casual dining to a whole new level. 

Pine Cone Ridge - Our newest restaurant and bar concept established in December of 2022. Serving elevated contemporary American cuisine on historic Main Street. Our menu focuses on fresh ingredients, a thoughtfully curated menu by Chef Gudrun Thorne-Thomsen, and various craft cocktails and extensive wine lists from around the globe. A reimagined dining room surrounded by local artwork that captures the undeniable beauty of Park City. Custom emerald green velvet tufted booths, hand-laid antique tiles, Brazilian hardwood flooring, and a full-service bar create a relaxed yet upscale ambiance with something for everyone.
