One of the best meals I've had in a while! Date night with my husband was made extra special with this meal from Arlo. The Fish & Chips, Bread & Butter, Chicory Salad, Ravioli, Chicken entree, Butter Cake and drinks were all excellent. We sat at the chefs counter and the service was also great! read more

We were sitting at the chef counter to see how chefs work on each plate. It's very entertaining and lots respects for those chefs & staff works hard. Food was overall very tasty, shareable size. Vodka cocktail was great. Service was on point. We will definitely back for brunch sometime soon. read more

I wish I had more stars to give! It's so rare for a nice restaurant to develop delicious vegetarian food! As a vegetarian, I often feel like they just put some bland roasted vegetables on the menu to say they have an option. However, here each and every small plate was exquisite, and it took everything in me to not lick the plates! Our server was attentive. The place has simple refined decor and filled up quickly and was quite lively for a Wednesday evening. Oh and the cocktails, again wow! The rum and gin cocktails were creative and had depth unlike any I'd had before. I want their cookbook! Bring your foodie date you're trying to impress here! read more

Arlo Restaurant - New American Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

We went here for date night (our 2nd time there). We made reservations for their patio, which is really nice, but it was a bit hot as our reservation was at 6pm and the sun was hitting us pretty hard. I would recommend going later in the evening during the summer. Parking is tough as it's street parking, but we found a spot no problem. For appetizers, we enjoyed the bread and butter, cheese and crackers, polenta, and tomato salad. Our favorite was the cheese and crackers, which included a beautiful homemade cracker with brie, apricot, and mustard. For drinks, we had the gin, vodka, mezcal, and tequila cocktails. My personal favorite was the vodka cocktail, which was super refreshing. For our entrees, I had the ravioli and my husband had the fish. Honestly I wasn't too big of a fan of the ravioli. It was beautifully crafted and well presented but I wasn't a fan of the texture of the pasta. My husband enjoyed his fish dish. We were too full for dessert. Every dish and cocktail was beautifully crafted and our server did a great job taking care of us. We'll definitely be back a 3rd time. Final bill came to about $170 before tip, which felt reasonable for the quality of food and portions. read more

The food was all incredibly balanced in taste and texture. The bread was delicious, but everything else was better. The beets were so good and so different than I've ever had, a lot of love went into that dish. The risotto tasted like spring and was very filling. The citrus custard was very good, but I could have used more custard or less tangerine jam. It was an exciting meal for my taste buds. read more

The food was just okay. Our server was nice. It's a bit pretentious for what it is. There was a lovely tree blossoming outside of our window, so that was nice. read more

Everything was very well done and well presented with very unique flavors. I appreciate that nothing on the menu was exactly like a dish I had ever had before. My favorite was the risotto, so savory and flavorful, especially if you like mushrooms! We also got the duck ravioli, fish and chips, two different salads, cheese and crackers, bread and butter, vegetable tart, and empanadas. I enjoyed the whiskey drink very much but did not like the rum one (too sweet). And thank you for the wonderful birthday dessert! read more

Ok so being British seeing the picture of "fish and chips" on yelp had me crashing out BUT this place had great reviews and was close to the hotel so I bit my tongue And glad I did! The "fish and chips" was light and though hard to taste the fish had a good taste. Chicory salad was amazing, whatever dressing they had along with the goat cheese really hit all the right spots Vegetable tart was great along with the greens on top, not sure what it was but a single sprig contained great flavour The ravioli was mid, creamy beat, makes for a nice visual when you get into The samosas were damn good, especially the sauce on top Highlight of this was dessert which we nearly skipped on. The chocolate mousse was MELT IN YOUR MOUTH AND (more so than normal mousse) and the cream on top (I hate cream) really had me gobbling and contemplating getting another but alas my a1c scores have been making me ration Anyway, lovely , calm inside with equally calm and lovely service. Downside is the small dishes, as I said. I wanted to gobble. But if you're not a gobbler, then roll on up to arlo read more

This was a fun dinner! The restaurant itself is clean and cozy. Seems like a house-turned-restaurant. Very cool to see the open kitchen and the artists at work! The bread and butter was unique and very enjoyable. I loved getting rip off the layers of bread that were both flakey and soft. They actually gave us an extra appetizer of empanadas since our food was taking a while--honestly I didn't really notice it was taking long. But the empanadas turned out to be my favorite thing I ate! For my main, I got the ravioli which was good. It was flavorful and moist, but it was missing some kind of sauce and was definitely not enough food. Overall, this was a good spot that I might check out every year or so to see their updated menus and try new dishes. read more

A minimalist atmosphere paired with genuinely delightful service set the tone for a wonderful brunch. We made reservations and ordered the pot pie, chocolate tart, and cinnamon roll, while my husband chose the breakfast sandwich. Both main dishes were exceptional. The chef's thoughtful play on ingredients and textures truly stood out, with flavors that felt both precise and deeply satisfying. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and was beautifully, intentionally plated clearly made with passion and skill. Thank you for such a memorable experience. read more

So happy that I discovered this absolute hidden gem of a restaurant during my short stay in SLC!! (Disclaimer: by hidden gem, I'm referring to its unassuming location in a residential neighborhood and reservations being wide open on a Saturday night... but it's otherwise very evident that Arlo is widely renowned for top tier dining among local foodies). I was impressed by each and every dish that we ordered, which was painstakingly prepared with stellar presentation and top-notch quality of ingredients. The composition of each platter was very thoughtful, with disparate ingredients skillfully paired together creating one unique flavor and texture experience after another. My favorite dish of the night was the stuffed rainbow trout, but I would also highly recommend the seafood stew as well as the bread and butter. Between the two of us, we shared 2 appetizers and 2 of their "small plates" (actually reasonably portioned) and left feeling satiated not stuffed. Highly, highly recommend Arlo for a fine-dining experience minus the fine dining price tag. Perfect for a nice date night or special occasion, but they also serve breakfast which unsurprisingly has rave reviews as well. Pro-tip: they have a dedicated parking lot that is below the restaurant -- next to their outdoor patio, you have to drive below ground and parking spots are typically wide open as the lot is pretty lowkey/not well-demarcated and everyone is usually trying to find street parking, which can be a challenge as the neighborhood is pretty hilly with a lot of traffic at nighttime. read more

Delicious food in a cute place. Ambiance: I love houses that are renovated to be restaurants. There's always something very cozy and homey about them and this restaurant definitely had that feeling. Plenty of spacing on the inside, seats facing the food prep area if that's your vibe, and a really nice patio as well. Service: Quick and friendly with nice recommendations for wine and food choices. Food: I got the bread, fish and chips, empanadas, peppers, the risotto, and the lemon tart. The bread was delicious and flaky with a rosemary take. The fish and chips were an interesting recreation that was light and refreshing. The empanadas were also delicious with a good amount of heft that went well with the light salad that came with it. The risotto was a nice embodiment of the fall season. The lemon tart was just the right amount of tart to round out the meal with a nice balance in contrast with the heavier risotto. They also had a very nice wine selection of your more common varieties and less common that were nice to try. Overall, cute restaurant with good food. It appears that the menu rotates so I will definitely be back to continue trying their creations. read more

Food was great and the atmosphere wonderful! So glad we made a point to grab dinner here! Highly recommend the ravioli or the risotto.

We had a fantastic meal in Saturday! Harrison was our server and was fantastic! He was attentive, personable and his recommendations were spot on. We tried several menu items to share and we had a hard time picking our favorite, they were all amazing. We have always been very happy with our experiences at Arlo. read more

The service and atmosphere is always the best. Sitting outside on the patio was delightful. You know they have talented chefs. I just wish they would mix up the menu. It's a small menu, so once you have worked your way through then there isn't much to look forward too. It's good, but it's nice to be surprised. Also mixing up the cocktails would be amazing. read more

Went two times and great both times! Very clean, simple, and fun. We were at the bar area the first time and then went for the outdoors seating the second time. Both areas were nice; indoors was definitely more of a dimmer and heavier ambiance because we went for dinner. read more

On the good side: Pudding cake was very good. Our server was also very very nice and polite. Gorgeous lamps for the place. They are beautiful. Putting lillies as decoration was a mistake, as their odor is very strong and suffocating for most people. It made the whole place smell very unpleasant. Raviolis 1/5 - were not raviolis, but dumplings (?). After browsing through socials of restaurant, I figured that those were actually called cappelletti. Nonetheless, those are two distinct dishes, and you should not be advertising raviolis as them. This is not good and is misguiding. The chef was trying to cook them al dente, but it ended up badly, as the dough of cappelletti is much thicker than raviolis, which made all of them tasting like rubber. The flavors were also lacking, making the dish bland. I wish there was something to make it more interesting. Sour cream - might sound simple, but would have been a very very good choice. Risotto 3/5. It was average. I liked the addition of nuts to it. But it definitely lacked salt. Fish and chips 1/5. Very unbalanced with each chip tasting differently due to different amount of ingredients in each chip. Was too overly bitter, as it had a ton of mustard seeds. One of the chips was also spicy out of nowhere? Cheese and crackers 1/5. Same thing as fish and chips. Poor combination of flavors. That preserved apricot mustard should have been much sweeter or more acidic to give a better pairing with brie cheese. Pudding Cake 5/5 Delicious! Actually, one of the best desserts I tried in SLC. The cake was moist, and a very successful choice of ice cream to put it with - i believe it was butterscotch. Not too overly sweet, which is a hugeee plus. One tip - serve it on a bigger plate. I would expect more attention to each dish as the menu is small (it's not bad that it's small) and there is barely any choice. read more

We searched for restaurants in SLC that people considered deserving to be in the Michelin guide and Arlo restaurant kept popping up. After our experience here, I completely agree with these people! Very innovative food, exceptional service, and honestly, the prices for each dish were very reasonable. Arlo is located in a quiet neighborhood and has its own parking lot, which is a huge plus (just go down the driveway). Service/Ambiance: The inside has a rustic, modern feel. There were lots of 2-4 person tables that could probably be made into 6 person tables. There's a whole outdoor area inside a canopy and looked to have ample heat lamps. We opted for the bar seats inside facing the open kitchen and we absolutely loved it. We're no professional cooks but we appreciated watching the head chef and the other chefs work well together in a calm manner. It was enjoyable seeing them plate each dish. Each dish came out fairly quickly and we didn't have to wait to finish a dish before the next one came. Shout out to our server Kyle for a great service. Food: The dinner menu is simply laid out in one page, making everything easy to see. Our server explained which parts are appetizers, shareables, and main dishes. My husband and I shared each dish and we were pretty stuffed at the end. Usually in restaurants like this, I can easily say that some dishes are good to skip. But we were pleasantly surprised with each dish and we'd order these same items again. For drinks, I ordered Rum Cocktail ($12) and he ordered Mescal Cocktail ($12). The Rum drink was sweeter, which is how I like my drinks. -Bread and butter ($5): crispy outside and soft in the inside. The thyme was apparent and made it so flavorful that I didn't have to use too much butter like I usually do with other breads that aren't as tasty. -Small potatoes ($10): petite whole potatoes in brie fondue, duck fat, and crispy bits-- this was surprisingly sooo delicious. Potatoes were cooked nicely and the toppings together worked very well. -Fish and Chips ($9): housemade chips topped with fish. You'd think everything on it was salty but the flavors of each ingredient worked so well together. Must get! -Vegetable Tart ($14): also a must get! -Duck Ravioli ($29): main dish; pasta was cooked nicely and there was a generous amount of duck inside the raviolis. -Lemon Tart ($12): we asked our server what his most favorite dessert was and this is what he said. My husband who usually doesn't appreciate lemon desserts actually liked this a lot. Overall: We were definitely impressed with Arlo and I highly recommend this restaurant. I believe they have a rotating menu so I'd love to come back here if we're ever back in the area again. Make sure to make reservations! read more

I chose Arlo based on the reviews of other Yelpers and the beautiful photos of their dishes. I feel like my expectations were met and everything was as delicious and beautiful as I had hoped. I started with a spritz cocktail, which was very citrus-forward and light. It included a sprig of fresh sage leaves, which I broke off to chew with each sip. Delightful!! This was followed by what was listed as a 'chicory' salad, but came with radicchio (is radicchio a kind of chicory? Maybe...) - it was perfection - colorful, flavorful, and a good portion size. Besides the radicchio leaves, the salad had a 'pesto' of yellow squash which was the base, and it was 'decorated' with fried sage leaves, edible flower petals, chunks of a kind of feta or goat cheese, nuts, and strips of either cucumber or zucchini which were rolled. I loved this so much I will be recreating it at home... For my main dish I had the roasted potatoes small plate which came with roasted and smashed blue potatoes and a chunky 'sauce' made with chorizo and almonds. This dish was balanced and savory and I also really enjoyed it. For the table, we got the obligatory bread with 'quite possibly the world's best butter' (so says the menu) and it lived up to the hype; we could have ordered one per person... My dinner companion selected the braised short rib ravioli for her main - there was a generous portion of fresh-made ravioli pockets filled with the beef, sitting on top of a pesto with some radicchio leaves and sprinkling of grated cheese - she used the bread to wipe the bowl clean. We also decided to indulge in dessert - my friend went with our server's suggestion to get the chocolate pudding, and loved it - a serving of scratch-made dark-chocolate pudding on top of berries macerated in sherry served with a kind of toffee or caramel crisp. Decadent but not over the top. I opted for the lime tart, which came in a pastry shell and was decorated with mini meringues and dollops of what I think was a raspberry puree - it was tangy and complimentary to the tart, but I could not distinguish the specific flavor. The consistency of the tart filing was velvety, and overall I thought this was very balanced between sweet and tart. The bill for 2 people, several courses, including alcohol and dessert, was over $100 including tax and tip, but I felt that was on par with similar dining experiences in other cities when considering the quality ingredients, visually-appealing plating and excellent service. Definitely recommended! Note that parking is free but on the street, and the restaurant is located in a residential area, so you may have to walk a little. There is also a beautiful outside seating area. The day we visited we felt was too hot for us, but several other diners took advantage of being outside. read more

Arlo never fails to be an exceptional experience. The ever-changing menu is always surprising and so incredibly creative. Descriptions and photos even can never do justice to the food. The depth of flavors, layer upon layer are just astonishing. We always tend to over order because we want to taste so many things and they are all delicious! Last night we went for our anniversary; both the food and the service were both great. The place was busy inside and out. We can highly recommend the bread (always), the chicory salad, the samosas, the risotto!!! and the pasta. The risotto alone was worth going there for--truly a revelation and so beautiful! read more

Very dissapointed.. We had a 6:15 dinner reservation , walked in on time and saw we were one of three couples there. We asked if we could sit on the patio to which the host simply stated for reservation only(there was no one there) Not the end of the world tho. We sat down in the middle of the resturant, the host got us water and handed us menus. We waited 10 min making eye contact and even signaling to a water if we could start our ouder. Nothing.... Every staff member was twiddling their thumbs not doing anything. I even raised my hand to see is someone would notice. I understand if the resturant is slammed but again we were two of eight customers in there! From reading the reviews and things people had to say we were so exiced to dine here, very sad to feel unnoticed and wish we could have gotten service. Hope this doesnt happen to anyone else. read more

We had such a wonderful experience here overall. The ambiance was absolutely beautiful, the food and cocktails were incredible, and we were so happy we received this recommendation. We were genuinely having a great night. Our waiter truly made the evening special, attentive, kind, and thoughtful. When something uncomfortable happened later in the night, he listened, validated how I felt, and went above and beyond by checking in, bringing us a chocolate tart from the chef, and making sure we left feeling cared for. I'm incredibly grateful for him and want to sincerely thank him for turning things around. Unfortunately, there was one interaction with a host that shifted the energy of the evening. We were seated on the heated patio with only two other couples, and it was extremely hot. He turned the heaters back up multiple times without asking anyone how they felt, despite no other tables being occupied yet. When I politely asked him not to turn it up, his response felt dismissive and the tone was uncomfortable. At one point, he moved the heater toward me and implied it would be my responsibility if another table was cold, even though no one else had arrived. It was upsetting enough that I actually teared up, which is not something that should ever happen during a dinner out. One interaction like that can unfortunately change the entire experience. That said, I'm glad I spoke up and even more glad that our waiter handled it with such professionalism and empathy. This is still a wonderful restaurant with amazing food, drinks, and staff. I just hope this feedback helps, because no guest should feel dismissed or uncomfortable during an otherwise lovely evening. read more

Cute little place tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. The breakfast is excellent here. I forgot to take a picture of the Simple Eggs and bacon plate, but trust me it was good.

Amazing ambience which resembles northern European style restaurant with indoor seating as well as a very nice closed glass patio. Has an open kitchen with an amazing chef, cooking in front of your eyes with the fresh ingredients and great combination of flavors. . The staff is very nice and they work as fast as they can but the place was busy . We went there for brunch on Sunday and we made a reservation for 1 o'clock, but they accommodated us earlier and they also gave us a choice to be inside or outside because it was a very hot day. read more

I am a foodie, and in my opinion Arlo is the best restaurant in Salt Lake City. Recently, I had brunch there. I ordered the quiche. It wasn't just quiche, it was different from any quiche I have tasted. It is beautifully presented and tastes amazing, An individual serving with greens on top. I reluctantly allowed my brunch friends to take a bite. I highly recommend Arlo for brunch and/or dinner. read more

Arlo is a trendy seasonally inspired restaurant tucked between houses near the Capitol. The whiskey cocktail was fresh and easily downed. My fish entree was delicious. Very fresh flavors and meaty salmon. But overall, I think this place is doing too much. The seasonal tomatoes were coated in seasoning, you could barely taste the produce. The brie, apricot spread, and sesame cracker had too many flavors going on. The bread was more parsley than anything else. We also waited 15 minutes before we were helped by a server, meanwhile there were only 2 other tables seated inside and I was staring at 4 servers huddled in a circle chatting behind the counter. He also skipped over 2 people at our table while taking drink orders, and couldn't remember what we ordered, and between 8 people we only ordered 3 different dishes. It didn't seem like he really cared. This restaurant concept has potential but I think they need to simplify their flavors and let the seasonal ingredients be the star. Overpriced for the experience. read more

The restaurant is very pretty. The food tasted good, but it was in tiny portions. The service was terrible, although the server was very friendly.We had food on the table before we ever got our first drinks.

All in all, the restaurant does not deliver in quality for the prices on the menu. I left hungry. read more

My husband's friend was a little intimidated since he finds me to be a bit foodie, but in the end he had a wonderful experience. The service was perfect and charming. Only my husband got a cocktail but upon tasting it I immediately wished I'd ordered one for myself. It was whisky based and the perfect blend of sweet and tart. We got two orders of the bread and it was like a brioche in the shape of a cinnamon roll with herbs and that magical butter. My husband and his friend enjoyed their ravioli and I had the empanadas and the fresh tomato salad. The combo was perfect and the flavors were impeccable. I loved the crunchy fresh vegetables mixed with the creamy base. Last time I was here it was Covid so the tables are more filled in now but it never got loud in there on a weekend evening. read more
