It was my Mother in laws birthday and we went to Afternoon Tea at Grand America This is a perfect thing to do for Birthday, Mothers Day, Anniversary, Baby Shower, or Hen Party. No matter the occasion celebrating with Afternoon Tea is the best way to impress with minimal effort. They start you off with scones, and a whipped cream and strawberries The scones were a little dry for my liking but mom liked them. Then came out the tower with mini sandwiches and petite sweets all made in house. They have many different types of tea, I tried the White Petal, I liked it. Our waitress was nice and attentive. Overall we had a lovely time. $39 per adult , $12 per child. I would give 5 star for location, service and ambiance but a 3 on the food.

Happy Birthday treat at tea

I don't think anyone could not enjoy the afternoon tea service at the Grand America. The waiters are extremely kind and solicitous, offering to take photos, accommodating food preferences, very friendly. The setting is cozy and inviting and the signature live harp music sets a lovely mood. However, the food this time was a bit disappointing. I know they have a celebrated chef and everything is made in-house, but I think something has been lost in the mass production. My peppermint tea was nice, but the hot chocolate was lukewarm and too sweet. The scones were dry and tasteless. The fresh berries had more whipped cream than fruit. The sandwiches were quite blah. The tarts were okay, but the crust was nothing special. Cookies, gum drops? Meh. The macarons were good with a cream filling. But, the best item was the happy birthday apple tart they gave me at the end. I actually ate it the next day at home with some whipped cream, and it was delicious. Don't get me wrong, it's a memorable visit, especially at Christmas time. The windows, the giant gingerbread house, the decorations. But, don't go thinking it will be the best afternoon tea food ever. Just enjoy the overall experience.

Anything at the Grand America is just outstanding. We visited the Lobby Lounge late in the afternoon for a couple of drinks and appetizers. The menu is now very limited (after COVID) and could for sure be expended with a more comprehensive fare offering but what really makes this place stand out is the decor, the ambience, the live piano and the excellent cocktails. Kathy did an excellent job preparing exquisite cocktails. The service was attentive, timely and white glove, consistent with the Grand America. A very nice experience in a time capsule.

The lobby itself of the hotel Grand America is very palatial. Very good to have a tea for one just what I did or with groups of friends. The tea selections are good and the tea sandwiches and sweets are very delectable. This afternoon tea stand to its name the "grand"!

While staying at the Grand America, we decided to take Afternoon Tea in the lobby bar area. We made reservations for this events several weeks before arriving to ensure we could get a seat. Good thing we did, as we later learned that this is a very popular activity which sells out. The server we got was amazing... he was very friendly and explained a LOT about the Afternoon Tea, as well as about the teas the Grand America offers. He let us sample teas to make a decision. The setting is perfect for a nice, intimate tea party and the food tasted very fresh and great! For the price, it's well-worthwhile and highly recommended!

Had a fun time here at afternoon tea with a friend! The atmosphere is delightful and we had views of the courtyard. There were many pastries, desserts, and small tea sandwiches in addition to your choice of tea. It was fun to have the opportunity to try many different things but the sandwiches were just okay in my opinion. A little pricey but a fun place to go with girlfriends or family!

Meat and cheese starter, $16

Great environment with assorted seating. There is always some type of music; piano, harp, or a jazz band on the weekend. The menu is limited but everything is delicious and very decently sized portions. We were staying at the hotel for our anniversary and decided to stop here for dinner instead of going out. We shared the roasted turkey sandwich and meat and cheese plate and were not disappointed by either! The staff was super attentive and the food was delicious! Give them a try for afternoon tea, cocktails, or a meal. Everything is wonderful at The Grand America.

The grand America / lobby lounge is phenomenal- we come here once a month, for a nice lunch or dinner. Our wedding will actually be held at the grand America this year! Therefore we are Super excited! The service is always superb, quick , and attentive. Food is top notch, and high quality, the view is outstanding as well with a Victorian vintage feel. If you haven't been to the grand America, you are truly missing out! Come give them a try!

Cobb salad and cremant.

Truly disappointing! This was not a $50 meal. The quality of the food, the lack of the bartender and servers' knowledge of wine, the lack of service, timing, and attention (One example...the table was wet when I sat down. I informed the server but he never dried off the table but moved the chairs away from the wet area), the noise of others' conversations (a co-worker couple on an excruciating first date), and the lack of compliance of wearing masks by customers in the lounge during a pandemic as people worked in their laptops and other activities that did not involve eating or drinking where all negative factors. I have eaten here for huge luncheons and the catering was very good but dinner this evening was the complete opposite.

Bolognese

We ordered through room service, I ordered 2 Short ribs because they were THAT good. Breakfast is awesome! If you order a iced vanilla coffee ask for light vanilla syrup because it's SO sweet! Can't wait to come back.

This is their tapestry's and furniture all Chistine designed and fabrics brought in from all over the world.

My husband and I went here to see a DJ and had a blast. There was a line when we arrived, but it…read moremoved fairly quickly. The check your bags and pay you down before going in which I appreciate. You walk in and are greeted by the bar then it opens up into the dance floor. Drinks were good and a lot of people were dancing. As the night went on, it did fill up and get really cramped. They have VIP areas where the bottle girls do the little signs and lights if you're looking to celebrate something. Fun vibes and I plan on coming back if there is another event I want to go too. I'm also interested in the rooftop bar!!

I'm overall really appreciative of the staff, especially the AM Nick who was really kind in my time…read moreof need, so five stars for Nick. But I'm sad to say that tonight will be my last night going to Sky. I was assaulted by a girl who was pushing to the front and I put my elbows up to prevent it and then got shoved and punched in the face. Never thought I would be the victim of assault but alas, here we are. What made the situation worse was Tony, the security guard chose to believe the 22 year old girls who assaulted me instead of me and my shiner, then gaslit me and told me that I must've been the one being the asshole. Sorry to no longer go to a place that usually brings in good djs but I cannot abide the crowd. Super over it. Will not be returning ever, no matter the headliner. One too many negative experiences. Should've stopped a long time ago.

Had the BEST time at Aker in SLC for their Valentine's prix fixe menu. Truly one of the most…read moreimpressive meals I've had in the city and hands down the best nigiri in SLC so far. We came for the Valentine's experience and tried almost everything on the menu (the only things we didn't get were the roasted cauliflower salad and the mushroom truffle pasta). Every single dish we had was incredible. The Wagyu Gyoza were perfectly seared and packed with flavor. The Maguro Crudo was beautifully done with just the right amount of heat and sweetness from the blueberry-habanero. For the shareable course, the crispy rice Hanabi was unreal...spicy tuna, jalapeño, avo, that crisp texture...so good. The Strawberry Serenade roll with the 3-piece nigiri selection absolutely stole the show. The nigiri quality was next-level fresh. For mains, the Chilean seabass was buttery and perfectly cooked, and the Wagyu filet was tender, rich, and beautifully seasoned. You can tell the quality of ingredients here is top-tier. Service was amazing. attentive, warm, and polished without feeling stuffy. The whole experience felt elevated but still fun and comfortable. The cheesecake was alright, not our favorite but still nice. The only tiny thing that would have made it perfect: valet wasn't available for our lunch reservation, so we had to park in the garage a block over. Not a big deal at all just worth noting. Overall, such a special experience. Incredible food, top-quality fish, and amazing service. We'll absolutely be back.

We were SO excited to try this place, on a Saturday evening and I'm sad we did. That was genuinely…read moreone of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had in well over a year. We had a reservation for 4 at 7 PM, and we weren't sat until 7:34. Then I got a drink so bad we sent it back. The server spilled red tea all over the table, my menu was ripped and sticky (gross), the food was room-temp, the sushi was low-quality, the list goes on and all this for a $50/person meal of just a few appetizers. Music was so loud we couldn't talk to each other at the table. I was told to try the dessert but after the full dining experience we decided to cut our losses and leave. The service was so slow, and above everything going so wrong, there was no attempt the salvage our experience. Also just interesting to note, we saw no management the entire time we were there. We wanted to love it, but there are WAY better offerings in SLC. Don't waste your time and money here!
