Always amazing service but even better food. The entire menu overhaul from top to bottom is extraordinary. Seasonal changes which lead you to picking something new almost each time you come. You won’t find any other fine dining restaurant in Utah that offers more locally (or regionally) produced & sourced ingredients. They can tell you the name of the local baker who makes the delicious sourdough bread, the servers can describe the way a cheese is made & how it tastes. Did I mention they also offer daily breakfast & weekend brunch items that are SO good. They will leave you full but wanting more.

Love our dinner here. They were so pleasant and the service was great. We shared several dishes and they brought each already split and plated separately.

While not the place to go for a cheap meal, this is a spot where you know the kitchen staff are putting so much time into every meal brought to a patient. I had the winter thyme margarita, prosciutto beignets, and gnocchi. This gnocchi was TO DIE for.

Normally. I would post more photos or videos but when my steak basically came out cold that it wasn’t even worth taking a photo of. I also don’t like a place that slices my steak and bring it to the table.

This restaurant was beautiful just to sit in, but the food, service, and atmosphere took it over the top for me. They do have some seasonal options, so if you’ve been before go back and check out some of the other menu items.

Well worth the price. This place has a wonderful atmosphere and all of their dishes have an exquisitely different and excellent taste. Our server was so kind. 10/10 place!!

Had breakfast brunch New Year’s Day morning. We had the apple French toast with cinnamon butter and a Carmel glaze. It was really good. It was rich to eat it all but tasted good. We also got the Bambara breakfast. Scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon is absolutely delicious. Service is great and the city views during snow are something to enjoy.

We came here for our 10-year anniversary based on a list that it was a good restaurant to celebrate a romantic evening, anniversary or special occasion at. I left in the special instructions that were were celebrating our 10-year anniversary here and I’d like to make it special. Flowers, flower petals, or a dessert that said happy anniversary is what I was expecting since those are the kinds of things we’ve had added at other restaurants. The servers were very nice, but they did absolutely nothing to accommodate a special evening. Didn’t even wish us a happy anniversary. Did they even read the special instructions? Probably not. Will definitely be calling restaurants after this to see what they do and not rely on OpenTable to forward information on.

Drinks weren’t very good, had them made twice and still not good. Food was very overpriced and not the best in taste. We tried the salmon, could’ve been cooked a bit longer. We also had the half chicken with potatoes. Chicken we ended up splitting since it was a nice portion and the best thing we had between the two dishes. Potatoes were too salty and not edible for us. Got a free dessert for my birthday- some kind of cheesecake but not able to eat it since it was still frozen. Oh but the goat cheese dip… amazing besides the fact that the bread was burnt.

I used to adore this place, but since the remodel, I’m pretty disappointed.
