    Tuna poke bowl
    Shan L.

    I really don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but unfortunately this ended up being one of the roughest dining experiences we've had in a long time. The place clearly has ambition, and I genuinely hope with time they're able to refine the concept and turn things around. The interior was honestly one of the more confusing restaurant aesthetics I've experienced. It felt like several completely different concepts competing with each other, part trying to be upscale lounge, part trendy fusion spot, part sports bar and none of it really came together cohesively. The mismatched warm and cool lighting, clashing finishes, and overall atmosphere made it feel like the restaurant was trying very hard to create a specific vibe, but it was difficult to tell what that vision actually was. Instead of feeling inviting, the space came across cold and a little uncomfortable and tacky. That said, ambience matters far less than food, and unfortunately the food was the real issue. I ordered the tuna poke bowl, and it was genuinely one of the worst poke bowls I've had, if not the worse I can remember. The rice was undercooked to the point where I was crunching on hard grains throughout the meal. Beyond that, the bowl was overwhelmed with sauce and seasoning to the point where all I could taste was spicy mayo and soy sauce. The avocado was also visibly browning and spotty, and I eventually gave up halfway through. My husband ordered one of the wagyu burgers, and it arrived completely well done and incredibly dry. For a wagyu burger especially, it was disappointing. It ended up being one of the driest burgers either of us can remember having. We tried sharing a bite between the two dishes but the base flavors were oddly similar, being two completely different types of dishes, this was disappointing when it comes to very basic flavor profiles. The menu itself felt a bit as confused as the ambiance. I understand the intention may have been to offer something for everyone, but some of the choices felt disconnected and a bit out of context. More than anything, it felt like the restaurant would benefit from narrowing its focus and really dialing in a smaller number of dishes exceptionally well. A strong first impression matters, and when a guest's first meal misses the mark, it makes it difficult to feel excited about returning to try more. The time to receive food was also quite slow. To be fair, the restaurant was busy, so waiting around 45 minutes for food is understandable. Our waitresses were awesome and incredibly kind and you could tell they were working hard. It was just disappointing for the food to arrive in that condition after such a long wait. I genuinely hope the restaurant figures out its identity and improves the food execution because right now it's difficult to recommend or justify coming back. Based on our limited sample set on an initial experience, it feels like the place is trying a little too hard when it honestly doesn't need to. The neighborhood already loves The Break, and it has long been a big part of Daybreak culture. I think it's great that they're experimenting with new concepts, grateful for restaurants that are willing to share a vision with the community and all the work that goes into creating, but this one currently feels like a bit of a miss in the current state. Understandably it's still relatively new, at the very least, it made for a memorable anniversary dinner story. Wishing the team the best as they continue working through the concept and growing into the space.

    Great vibes. I got the prosecco. We only came for a snack but the food around smelled good. And I would definitely recommend the fries and sweet potatoes fries. The inside is also really nice

    Lobster eggs benedict
    Andrew s.

    If you're craving a coastal escape but your yacht is stuck in a Utah snowdrift, **Lake Break** in Daybreak's Northshore is the next best thing--think nautical chic meets "what if a yacht club opened next to a man-made lake in the desert." I ordered what appeared to be their take on **lobster eggs Benedict**, but with a landlocked twist: a golden, flaky croissant base (because why settle for an English muffin when you can have laminated pastry?), topped with a poached egg that's somehow both fluffy and structurally sound, a generous shower of sharp cheddar, and then drowned in a hollandaise so rich and speckled it could double as a luxury body lotion. It was decadent, borderline scandalous, and absolutely delicious. The side salad of peppery arugula, crisp radish, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes provided just enough virtue to keep the guilt at bay--like bringing a kale smoothie to a champagne brunch. The vibe? Immaculate. White tableware gleaming against the bright, breezy space, with those big windows and patio promising lake views that make you forget you're nowhere near an ocean. It's upscale-casual with a fun yacht-club energy--perfect for pretending you're on vacation while your HOA fees quietly judge you from afar. Service was warm and efficient, the kind that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. And in a place called "Lake Break," they clearly understand the assignment: break from the ordinary, but keep the portions generous enough that you won't need a rescue boat afterward. **Verdict:** 4.5/5 life preservers. Go for brunch, stay for the hollandaise-induced euphoria, and maybe order one of those beachy cocktails to complete the illusion. Just don't tell your cardiologist about the croissant Benedict. Lake Break is exactly what Daybreak needed: a little coastal swagger in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley. Anchors aweigh... or at least, anchors optional.

    I agree with some of the other reviews about this place still figuring our who they are. It's got a cool vibe and a lot of potential, once they nail things down a little. I enjoyed my salmon and Brussels Sprouts and my friend absolutely adored the Malibu Barbie drink. I'm really excited for the weather to get warm and the patio to open....and I hope they move the giant boat out of the way of the lake view. I get it-that's the brand- but it really just looks like an eyesore on the sidewalk. I'll be interested to see how things progress over there.

    This restaurant has a beautiful ambiance. It truly feels like a little piece of the sea brought to Utah. The owners clearly poured a lot of love into every detail, from the nautical décor to the warm, welcoming vibe. The Captain's Quarters is a standout spot for drinks and relaxing with friends. Great food, great atmosphere, and a place you'll want to come back to. I will definitely be coming back with friends to try new things

    I had a few concerns going into this restaurant. Big one being the variety of options they offer such as fish, burgers, tacos, poke bowl, Mac and cheese, some pasta, and steaks. With no food identity, makes it hard to think that food will be consistent. And I was partially correct. Fries came out cold and a steak my table ordered came out very well done when ordered medium. Also food never came out hot or even a hot/warm. Just about everything came out cold or cold/warm. And then felt under seasoned, bland, and too comparable to other places that use the same cheaper food supplier such as Sysco. The only things I found worth while was the clam chowder and the lobster roll. Another concern being the inconsistent menu prices. Some stuff felt reasonable like burgers and Mac and cheese but with half the menu being overpriced such as the shrimp cocktail for $22 for 5 shrimp and a "sunset menu" that seems to be at least $50 a plate. Feels like there is no identity. As for the decor, was very nice and felt like a modern type lake side restaurant that has the post-ability for social media. The service has much to be improved. I can tell the servers and bartenders are doing their best, especially the bartender who was running around taking tables, making cocktails and running food. But it felt disorganized, food being run to the wrong tables, and felt understaffed with how much the 1 bartender and 1 server were running around. After 2 months, I thought the place would be more staffed and more organized. Ill give it the benefit if the doubt since it is still early in its lifetime Now for the problem I had the most. I booked a reservation for a valentine's day lunch. Not to celebrate valentine's day specifically, because we had already celebrated the date. This was more for a lunch to try a restaurant that I have had my eye on since I heard about it and before it had opened. I evenly waited a couple months so they can figure out the new restaurant tweaks. When we go in and sit down, we are only given a Valentine's day set menu. Not what we expected since we were wanting to look at the actual menu and try what we wanted. We had to ask for those everyday menus and then when the server brought them, they specifically said to expect a longer wait since they are prepared for the set menu. We then go online and find out they didn't have any notice of a set menu when we booked the lunch and then the website doesnt advertise it unless u specifically go to the events tab. I then start to notice that tables sat after us have the same thing happen. Only given the set menu for the day and having to ask for the other menus and the server saying the same thing. Feeling like they are almost trying to make people order from that menu instead of their everyday menu. With little to no advertising of a set menu and servers pushing the set menu instead of offering what people actually want is not what I want to support. If you are gonna do a set menu, either only do that and tell me as they come on, not after they sit down when they dont know and advertise it more. Dont offer both and only push 1. I've done my time working in restaurants and this isn't customer friendly. I really wanted this place to be good. But it was just a big let down.

    I was a bit leery of trying this, but The Break is decent and it was close. I admit I went early in the evening, but service times were tight and reliable. They do have a nice drink menu including beer and wine. They are definitely a healthier version of The Break. They offered several salads and cedar plank salmon, but I wanted to try a burger. It was a real 1/2 lbs and was cooked nicely. I think in the fall and spring the patio should be very crowded. The view of the water was nice. Next time I'll try the salmon or a salad. I think previous reviews have been a bit harsh and maybe due to the recent opening. I liked it.

    We have been so excited for this to open and it did not disappoint! I took my kids too which was so nice that they had food my kids will actually eat like Mac and cheese and fries and food for my husband and I. The fish tacos are some of the best I've ever had and I've lived and traveled all over the world. We also got a cocktail for me (coconut mojito was amazing) and mocktail for my daughter. My daughter loved her mocktail too. I didn't get great pictures of the food because we ate it too fast! The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back time and time again. This is exactly what Daybreak needed!

    Update: I gave this restaurant another try -- partly because I live across the street, and partly because I remain stubbornly optimistic. Unfortunately, the experience was mostly the same. And to confirm we weren't being dramatic, we ran into old friends while we were there -- and they said they've had the exact same experience. It's the kind of night that's frustrating while you're living it, and weirdly funny later when you're retelling it. We arrived at 7:15 PM for our reservation and chose to sit upstairs in the bar area instead of the main dining room (the lighting downstairs is still very bright... like "fine dining meets office fluorescents"). Upstairs was quieter, but we were seated at a booth with a very small, flimsy table, which wasn't ideal for an actual dinner setup. Our server was genuinely great -- friendly, attentive, and doing their best -- but the overall experience unraveled quickly. We ordered Prosecco, and it arrived without an ice bucket. One eventually showed up... but it was a large plastic orange bucket, and by then the food had taken so long that we'd nearly finished the bottle. When the food finally came out, it was disappointing overall: Lobster roll: soggy and not prepared as described on the menu (it specifically mentioned grilled lemon, which is what sold me). French dip: the menu listed horseradish, but it tasted more like a mild mayo-based spread -- no heat, no real punch -- and the sandwich itself was tough, like it had been sitting out. Fries: cold. We arrived at 7:15 PM and didn't leave until 10:30 PM, and not because we were lingering. It was simply that slow. Also... and I say this with love... why does this place have five menus? That might be part of the problem. It feels like nobody here has watched The Bear and absorbed the concept of "do fewer things, but do them really well." Yes, chef... please simplify. And here's the frustrating part: I want to love this place. I live across the street and was genuinely excited when it opened. I travel a lot, and what usually pulls me into a restaurant is ambience, lighting, and a well-curated menu -- especially a strong appetizer menu. This location has so much potential, but right now it feels like the restaurant hasn't fully decided what it wants to be. The menu is all over the place -- Mexican, seafood, burgers, mac and cheese, Thai salad, French salad, plus a "sunset" menu with elevated pricing. It reads less like one cohesive concept and more like a little bit of everything (which can work... but only when it's executed with consistency). The space has that same "still being figured out" energy. The lighting is extremely bright and inconsistent throughout, and the number of TVs makes it hard to tell whether the goal is sports bar, bistro, elevated restaurant... or all three at once. The décor also feels like it hasn't been edited down to a clear vision yet -- lots of shades of blue, different chair styles, mixed metals, and mass-produced-looking art. It doesn't feel layered or intentional; it just feels unfinished. The bar area looked cluttered and not especially functional, and some of the seating felt a little unstable (which isn't exactly the vibe you want when you're settling in for dinner and drinks). Food-wise, based on what we've tried, it leans more "bar food" than what the pricing and space suggest. The $29 charcuterie board, in particular, didn't match the description or the price point -- more snack plate than charcuterie. That said: there are positives. The bartender was excellent -- friendly, skilled, and the most polished part of the experience. And the clam chowder was genuinely good, which proves the kitchen can absolutely deliver when it locks in. I'm sharing this because I truly want this place to succeed. It's in a great location and could be a neighborhood go-to with a little more clarity and consistency: simplify the menu, pick an identity, soften the lighting, and edit the space so it feels cohesive. I'll be back -- because I live here and I'm rooting for it. I just hope the next visit feels less like a restaurant still workshopping its concept and more like a place that knows exactly who it is.

We'll definitely be back.

When I asked to add four more tacos, the price jumped to $175. When I politely asked for clarification on the math--as $40 for four tacos seemed excessive--the staff member became defensive and snappy. Instead of explaining the charges, she told me to "come inside and see for myself" in a very condescending tone. The unprofessionalism continued when I asked if there would be an extra charge for onions and jalapeños. Rather than answering a simple yes or no, she responded with further attitude, demanding to know if I "wanted it or not" before finally stating it was included. Despite the terrible service, I proceeded with the order and requested a 9:30 p.m. pickup time to ensure the food would be ready for a strict 10:00 p.m. deadline for my brother. Despite placing this order seven hours in advance, the food was not ready when my mom arrived at 9:30 p.m., and she was forced to wait. Between the rude, dismissive attitude of the staff and the failure to have a pre-ordered meal ready on time, I am extremely disappointed. I will not be returning to this location

While there were some things we enjoyed, the overall experience didn't quite justify the price. First, the restaurant is beautiful. The décor is modern, stylish, and very Instagram-worthy. It's easily one of the nicest-looking brunch spots I've visited in Utah. Unfortunately, the dining room feels overcrowded. The tables are placed extremely close together, making it difficult to have a private conversation. We often had to raise our voices just to hear each other, and even the servers seemed to struggle moving between tables. The atmosphere looked great, but it didn't feel very comfortable. The service was polite and friendly, but one thing bothered me. Shortly after we finished our main dishes, the check was brought to the table. We hadn't asked for it, and it made us feel a bit rushed, as if it was time to leave even though we were still talking with our friends. It's a small detail, but it affects the overall dining experience. For drinks, I ordered a piña colada, and unfortunately it was disappointing. It tasted overly diluted, with very little pineapple flavor, while the rum stood out much more than it should have. I also ordered the Vital Boost juice. The flavor was actually good, but it was served at room temperature, which wasn't what I expected from a fresh juice. For my meal, I ordered the breakfast burrito. It tasted good, but I couldn't justify the $20 price tag. It consisted of a thin tortilla filled with eggs, bacon, cheese, and potatoes, served with shredded potatoes and a small side salad. While everything was cooked properly, the ingredients felt simple, and the portion didn't match the price. I've had larger and more satisfying meals elsewhere for the same cost. My girlfriend ordered the birria tacos. They were decent but nothing memorable. We've had better birria at other restaurants. The consommé was much spicier than expected, and while some people may enjoy that, it wasn't our preference. The tortillas were also average. On the positive side, the lemonade was refreshing. I should also mention that Mexican food isn't usually my favorite cuisine, so I know my preferences may differ from those of other diners. Still, I always evaluate a restaurant based on the balance between quality, value, flavor, and the overall experience. In this case, I felt the food was good but not exceptional enough to justify the prices. La Condesa is definitely worth visiting if you're looking for a beautiful brunch spot with a trendy atmosphere. However, between the cramped seating, the value for the money, a few disappointing dishes, and feeling rushed at the end of the meal, the overall experience fell short of my expectations. I don't regret trying it, but it isn't a place I'd personally choose to revisit anytime soon.
