    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!!

    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.

    Amazing little farm to table restaurant serving artisanal dishes in a charming space…read more Went with the Lamb Crepinette which I was a little worried to order as lamb can be fatty. But wow, this dish was out of this world. Braised lamb is then crisped on a grill, served over a bed of roasted vegetables with a crème sauce. One of the best things I've ever eaten. Also ordered the sourdough, again so good - crunchy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. Started with a martini (they have my favorite - Belvedere, A+ for that) which was perfect, and a glass of wine which I enjoyed. For dessert we loved the Olive oil cake. The dark chocolate terrine got mixed reviews, but most of us don't like hazelnut so wrong thing to order. Waiter was nice. When is SLC this is a must!

    They didn't have any solid vegetarian entrees and featured tallow in several of their vegetable…read moredishes. So really looking for guidance, I asked the server for vegetarian recommendations and then she came back that they had just gotten some lion's mane mushroom in and the chef could create a dish just for me also including rice and peppers. In fact, we saw him walk by our table with his hands full of said ingredients. I love that the feature local and seasonal ingredients and really showed off their scratch made capabilities by creating a unique dish on the fly. My favorite item was the mushroom toast!
