    Harvey R.

    First time dining at this restaurant. Chose it to try something different. Did not want a large portion so chose a shareable. Tried the black rice and oxtail and was not disappointing. Sufficient size and paired with a good drink. Sergio, the server was attentive, hospitable, and had great recommendations. Visited during the non-busy time in the afternoon but very clean and presentable location. Great twist to their Bill delivery. Love the book use. Enter your own comments or signature.

    Salmon with a sweet sauce - so good
    Dawn K.

    We came before the dinner rush, so not busy at all. We told the staff it was our first time and they were all so nice explaining every dish, very friendly. We started with the following appetizers Devils eggs- so good with that crispy pancetta and caviar! Killer shrimp- excellent, crispy and great flavor Beet and goat salad - delish! Loved it Cauliflower- this one fell a little short, not a lot of flavor and the florets were too big. Chicken thighs- amazing, that Alabama sauce is TDF Sweet salmon - so yummy, again very good sauce We definitely want to come back to try other menu items.

    Pork belly with pickled carrots and blue cheese beurre blanc
    Nicole T.

    Holy shit!! When I tell you I want everything on the menu, I want everything on the menu. We ordered... short rib steak, crispy chicken skins, killer shrimp, pork Belly, black rice and oxtail risotto and two drinks!! Our server was Nicky - who was awesome by the way. Food came out fresh, HOT and tasty!! These are about the very best chicken skins I have ever eaten in my life ... and I'm black! The smoked honey that's served with it was divine ... we also dipped the pork belly in it and the shrimp. Nicky brought us a new portion of honey for our steak and spicy tots!! I love when we travel and are able to experience new takes on food. This place is a plus. When in Salt Lake we will surely visit again!!

    We hosted a post convention event there and they did everything perfectly! hors d'oeuvres were all delicious and service was exceptional Location is perfect for walking to from the salt palace.

    Chicken Bacon Jam

    Great staff and location. The establishment is roomy, clean and food was great. We came by for a corporate event and was not disappointed. Everything was great. The mains had steak and chicken. I don't know what was in the chicken but it was friggin amazing. Would come back again.

    Burnt end hotdogs in BBQ sauce
    Ralph H.

    Everything was so flavorful that we returned 2 days later for a quick brunch on our way out of Salt Lake City. Our son had the Mac'n Cheese twice. The burnt end hotdogs were bathed in a tasty barbecue sauce, and the rainbow cauliflower had several tastes emanating at the same time. You have to try the fried chicken skins in toasted honey. Overall a good selection and amazing tastes.

    Deviled eggs
    Melissa G.

    Great little place in Downtown Salt Lake. I had a flight out and decided to drop by with my boyfriend for a quick bite before the airport on a weekend in October 2024. Reservations via OpenTable made it easy but the dining room was mostly empty at 4pm anyway. We had the pick of seating and made sure we could see the football game on the TVs at the bar. Our waiter was very sweet and daresay, a bit self-degrading! At any rate, service was fast and we ordered bites to share Tapas-style from the menu which included: *Deviled Eggs *Pork Belly *Watermelon salad *Gyro Tacos There was no room left for dessert! that was about all. I loved the deviled eggs with caviar (so fancy) and the watermelon salad the best. I liked the Pork Belly but boyfriend begged to differ since he's more of an aficionado but I stick by my five-star review! The Gyro tacos hit the spot with some more protein - they were filling! I'd come back if I was in the area: I'm sure a lot of power lunches are conducted here being so close to businesses. I'm not sure about parking since we Uber'd, but there are plenty of lots around downtown.

    Bacon Jam

    The food was excellent! Bacon Jam was my favorite. bacon was diced into very small pieces and cooked with a sweet, sour and salty sauce. Spread hot with cheese on the crispy bread, so tasty! The wild mushroom flatbread was DD 's favorite. And the Chicken thigh was cooked crispy outside and tender and juicy inside. DH loves it. The waiter was very friendly. Like the interior too.

    Black Rice & Oxtail Risotto
    Isaac R.

    I wanted to give this place a try. The place itself is very pretty and has plenty of seating. Their menu is pretty limited but surprising. The black rice & oxtail risotto didn't look very appetizing, but actually it was good. I would recommend this as an appetizer. Secret Sunday chicken was also good. It was ok trying out this place; now to the next one.

The wine list is long, though there is not much by the glass. The reds we tried were good. The Crianza was my favorite, young and light but still flavorful, with a subtle dry finish. We ordered tortilla española, torta de cecina, patatas bravas, mejillones, and pinchos morunos. Everything had great flavor. There was some inconsistency with temperature. The patatas came out just warm, while other dishes were very hot. The pinchos morunos turned out to be more like a meatball on a stick. That may have been my misunderstanding, but when I see lamb pincho I expect grilled pieces of lamb. They were tasty, just more basic than I expected. For dessert we had churros. This may be personal preference, but I like to pick up a churro and dip it in chocolate without it breaking apart. These were more like a fried cake in the shape of a churro and required a spoon. They also have what looks like a very nice patio for good weather. I would be a bit concerned about speed of service if the patio is full, since the kitchen seems quite small. Overall, it was a good experience with well executed and flavorful tapas.

I feel like the hostess must have unexpectedly been out because the folks managing seating and reservations seemed a little lost. This was our first time here and I was pretty concerned about what the rest of our experience would be. We got to our table and then sat there for 10 minutes without any kind of greeting. Following the disorganization of getting seated, we weren't sure what was happening and almost left. I'm so glad we stayed. Once our server greeted us, it was smooth the rest of the evening. We ordered drinks (Old Fashioned and wine), both were excellent. Someone brought delicious soft rolls with olive oil and balsamic vinegar-excellent. We stuck with tapas and the portions were bigger than expected. We had a whole lineup of items we wanted, but filled up after three. We ordered a charcuterie plate that was an off menu special. Iberico and a truffle manchego cheese and a rosemary manchego cheese served with toasted baguette and grapes. It was delicious! We also ordered the Gambas Al ajillo salsa Roja (shrimp in a red sauce) and the Pulpo à la gallega (octopus). The shrimp were incredible. I could have eaten the sauce with a spoon. Okay, I DID eat the sauce with a spoon and then asked for more bread to sop it up. The octopus was a surprise. My husband ordered it and I was prepared to try a small bite. It was fantastic. The octopus was nicely chewy without being rubbery at all. And it was served with potatoes in a thin sauce that tasted like olive oil and paprika and onion. So good. We looked at the desserts and my heart said yes while my full stomach said no. I almost ordered the crème brûlée cake to go, but decided to come back another day. Our server (Zack) was great! I really think something happened with the hostess because the rest of the evening was so smooth. Very interesting interior. We sat at a small cafe table that felt strangely intimate despite how crowded it was. We'll be back!

Found this place and ordered miso soup, salad, sashimi, and two rolls. Everything tasted fine, the service was fine, and I left. Not even halfway to the hotel, which was 20 minutes away, my head started pounding and my stomach was turning. I thought I was catching a cold, maybe being under dressed for the weather (even though had layered up). I barely made it to the parking lot and basically vomited my dinner. I then spent the next hour in the bathroom, after which I felt relieved, so in a way I was glad that I wasn't getting sick. I figured it had to be the food and after I felt better I decided to call Mint to at least let them know that maybe something was in the food so at least they might prevent this for someone else. The manager apologized for my experience and that was it. I think it was either something in the food or had remembered earlier at the dinner all the employees were in the kitchen and I guess one of the sushi chef's just adopted a dog. Everyone was saying how cute it was and petting it, which I thought nothing of at the time other than it being cute. Then because of my experience, I don't really recall that chef, who was the one serving me, ever really leaving my sight or washing his hands. Just speculation of course but hey I got food poisoning from something. And anyone that knows me, knows that I always wash my hands before a meal, especially if I've been in the field working that day. I thought of posting here, but whatever it was over with and I'm busy. The next day, I got a voicemail letting me know that they felt bad for my experience and would compliment the dinner. I thought that was a nice gesture so I returned the message and left a voicemail of my own. No response, and I tried two more times over the next week. So here we are two weeks after and I'm thinking of sharing the story or not. Maybe they thought I was grifting for a free dinner and changed their mind, so that's why they didn't call me back? Maybe no one else got sick and there was no way to prove my story other than my word. Maybe they thought because I saw the dog, I would use that as an opportunity to eat for free? I never asked for my meal to get comped, I just wanted the establishment to know so they could prevent it from happening to someone else. Again, wasn't planning on sharing this on Yelp, but this happened two weeks ago and I feel that if I didn't share my experience it would be like a tree falling in a forest, does it even make a sound or did it really happen? Yes this actually happened to me so I'm letting management know that I'm not some anonymous guy that was trying to victimize myself for a free meal.

We also enjoyed the beef tataki, I did feel like it was a little on the chewy side but overall good. We loved the moonlight roll, the flavors and sweetness were good, I did feel like it was missing heat from the spicy tuna. The apollo roll was good, this roll also had spicy tuna and it was definitely hotter. Mint met our expectations and will definitely be a contender for our next sushi date night.
