Amazing little farm to table restaurant serving artisanal dishes in a charming space. 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! read more

They didn't have any solid vegetarian entrees and featured tallow in several of their vegetable dishes. 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! read more

We went to here for date night. Overall the food and cocktails were well crafted and delicious, the restaurant was cozy and well designed (yet a bit cramped), and our server was super attentive. We made reservations and parking was easy (at Smith's). For appetizers, we had the Beets & Honey Crisp Apple, Mushroom Toast, and the 'Leavity' Sourdough. Our favorite bite was the salad and bread together. Their cocktail menu was far more limited than expected, but all of the were beautifully made and delicious. Sadly I can't find it online and didn't take a photo so I can't tell you the exact drinks we had, but they were similar to a Manhattan, Spritz, and Gimlet. For the entree, we ordered the 12oz Demkota Picanha Steak along with a side of Rockhill Creamery Pommes Aligot and Tallow Fried Brussels Sprouts. The brussels sprouts were amazing, the potatoes were okay, and the steak was honestly terrible (lots of inedible parts, un-rendered fat, and no flavor). We got to try both the Béarnaise and Red Wine Demi sauces and I honestly didn't like either. Fortunately our waiter took the steak back and let us try the 12oz Bison New York Strip which was way better, but still not mind blowing. The meal was well paced and our server, Logan, was very attentive. It did take a good chunk of time to get our entree, but overall I would love to try this place again. They do have a tasting menu ($65/person), which we regret not trying, but we would've felt a bit of fomo. Bill was about $180 before tip. read more

Pago - Amazing olive oil cake with blueberry compote. It was almost too beautiful to eat - New American Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

It's been a while since I've left a restaurant feeling so happy. The food took my taste buds on quite the adventure. We did the tasting menu and got to try so many things. We had the strawberries and beets, brussels sprouts, stroganoff pierogi, the local burrata on pumpkin bread, and the trout as our main. for dessert we had the lemon olive oil cake with blueberry compote, as well as the chocolate torte with pistachio gelato and hazelnuts. We somehow ended up with a third dessert being the pumpkin cheesecake. All of it was so good. Everything is very chef-y and I mean that as a high compliment. Our server was Austin and he was great. This is my second time at Pago and both times I received lovely service. The restaurant feels warm and cozy serving is a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy a wonderful meal. read more

My favorite dinner from our trip to SLC! The menu is small but well-curated, wide variety of new American dishes. You really can't go wrong with anything. Service was great and the ambiance was warm and sophisticated. We were happy to learn how many ingredients are locally sourced! We started with the salmon tart, which was fresh, and packed with flavor. For our entrees, we tried the gnocchi and stroganoff which were both phenomenal. The handmade pasta was unbelievable. Perfectly done and the sauces complemented each dish perfectly. To end, we tried the peanut butter mousse. Very fun and we loved the little chocolate balls. Can't wait to come back! read more

Fantastic farm-to-table and seasonal food with a casual yet elevated atmosphere. This was our first time at Pago with another couple and we ordered a half-dozen small plates for the table to share. They were all incredible. My favorite was the Brussels sprouts; my wife loved the beets; and my friends couldn't get enough of the cheesy mashed potatoes and johnnycake. read more

Went to Pago last night and had an awesome experience. We ordered the beef tallow frites (crispy and flavorful), the strawberry & beet salad (super fresh and well-balanced), and the trout, which was perfectly cooked and beautifully plated. Everything tasted amazing. Our server (Logan) was also incredibly accommodating of a gluten-free allergy and made sure we felt taken care of the whole time. read more

This is one of the best dinners out we've had in Salt Lake City. Everything was spot on and amazing. We shared the buratta. The best ever and get the bread and special butter to go with it. We shared a salad and I had the fish. Everything is delicious and the ingredients used are top notch. We sat out on the patio which was lovely and the service was excellent. We were very well taken care of and suggestions and descriptions were much appreciated. We will definitely go back. read more

Really, a 4.5. We tried the chef's tasting menu at Pago and left very pleased overall. The four-course progression felt thoughtful and well paced: salad, beans and bread, protein, and dessert. The salads were a strong start. The Caesar and the beets were both excellent, and the thinly sliced apples added a bright, crisp note that really worked. The beans were the clear stars of the night, honestly. The sage sauce was fantastic and absolutely delicious soaked up with the sourdough. The bread itself was good, though both it and the butter were just a touch under-salted. For the protein course, we had a steak served with a beautifully crispy sunchoke and carrots cooked with star anise and tarragon. The flavors were warm and aromatic without overpowering the dish. Dessert was a mixed but still enjoyable finish. The olive oil cake was a bit dry, though the lemon sauce helped and had great flavor. The chocolate dessert, on the other hand, was fantastic and ended the meal on a high note. Overall, the tasting menu showcased Pago's strengths, especially with vegetables, sauces, and thoughtful flavor combinations. We'd happily return. read more

This is my second time in this place, and the food has been amazing, and this time we had great customer service. I got to try their Elf Bolognese pasta, and it was so delicious, and you can taste the difference of the elf from beef. The SHORT RIB STROGANOFF was also good! read more

Pago is the perfect place for a date night, and it is my boyfriend and my go-to place for special occasions. The atmosphere is always spectacular, but be sure to schedule a reservation on their website no matter the day of the week. The service is fast, friendly, and competent. They're always willing to offer drink and food suggestions. The food is delicious! My boyfriend ended up eating his entire plate and what was leftover from mine because all of the dishes are so tasty! read more

Wow! Btw you will need a reservation to come here! I have to say this place is so pretty. Woodsy feel for sure. The inside and the paintings. Even the furniture has a great vibe. I thought it was an Italian restaurant but it's new American! So we got the burrata with bread, short rib pasta, and salmon with potato gnocchi. My friend got the apple crisp for dessert too. The pasta was perfect. I really liked the shape of the pasta that was in the short rib. Not too rich, and not too salty either. The mushrooms were the best in it too. It's nice to try new places here in the slc area! And it was such a treat! They were attentive and made sure we got our food. I'm coming back for sure. read more

Every time I bring someone new to Salt Lake City, this farm-to-table gem is at the top of my list. The burgers are seriously next-level -- juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I really appreciate their commitment to the farm-to-table approach; it makes the whole experience feel thoughtful and rooted in the local community. Great vibes, friendly staff, and food that always hits the mark. Can't recommend it enough! read more

My experience tonight was actually a 3.5 stars, but because the burger is so good, I'll leave my 4 star rating. I'll start with how long it took our waiter to address us. Too long. It wasn't busy at 5:15, so not sure why? We started with beetroot tartare. Our first bite, we were both like, hmmm, after our second bite, we both concluded it needed salt, we added salt, and it was much better. Local mushrooms, again, needed salt, what the?! I'm not a heavy salter (my husband is), and it desperately needed it. After we salted them, much better. Sweet potato salad, AGAIN, needed salt. I had to tell our waiter, because this has never happened to me. Later we overheard another table asking for salt..??!! I ordered the burger and my husband got short rib stroganoff, which he loved. My burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned. One of my favorite burgers in Utah. We had to laugh because the waiter brought a knife out with my burger, and my husband said, "your bringing that out like we're sharing that burger, but we're not, that's all her!" Ha! The burger is yummy. We finished off the meal with the maple blondie, which we both agreed was incredible. One last thing that was frustrating is that I went online to check out their menu beforehand, but when we got there, the menu was totally different, not cool. Come for the burger, leave room for the blondie. read more

The chef was super interactive, and playful, yet informative for our party. If I was rating him as a human, and host, it would be a 5. Where things went wrong is when I ordered the special (bison ribeye) and got it delivered so overcooked that I couldn't eat it. To be fair, I'm sure I could have sent it back, but that's a job for me and my therapist to work on, and not something that should need to happen at a 5 star restaurant. All in all, it was a very good experience due to the people, but I wouldn't go back for the food alone. Our party got the sourdough bread, beef talo frites, and burgers apart from the aforementioned special, and they were sound. read more

We ate the Monday and we were not impressed. We ordered the half chicken which was supposed to be shareable and found it to be skimpy and not especially tasty. Also, we ordered sourdough bread which was cold, dry and not sourdough. The hamburger was better and even had a side of fries. Overall, the food was not impressive enough to justify the high prices. We will not be returning. The menu was limited and the portions were small. read more

Had a "shareable" half chicken - must have been a very small chicken the sourdough bread was room temp, dry, and not the "sourdough" flavor expected - more like a whole wheat in flavor and color. Both these dishes were over priced for what we were served. The menu was quite limited in the number of choices - did not see what was on the menu we were offered in all the pictures on their site. Not a restaurant I would recommend or return to any time soon. Based on the reviews posted on Yelp we read, we must have gone to a different establishment than the others reviewed. The service was fine but certainly not beyond "needed" level in any way. read more

The dishes were as beautiful as they were delicious! Such unique flavor combinations and true passion are used to prepare these dishes for you! The servers were informative and really enjoyed being there making for a great date night/ pre symphony ambiance! read more

This was my second time to Page this weekend and we had such a wonderful experience here from start to finish. Our server, I believe her name was Sophia, was wonderful and made our experience so lovely. We started out with the Table X bread, which wasn't on the menu, but our server mentioned it and I remembered having it the last time I came. The Table X sourdough is some of the best sourdough either of us had ever had. Definitely order it! It comes out steaming hot with a delicious warmed herb butter. Drooling over here just thinking about it. A friend recommended that we get the mushrooms appetizer. They have French onion creme fraiche, beluga lentils, and crispy shallots and we were literally licking the plate and trying to get every last bite they were so good. Who knew mushrooms could be prepared so deliciously?! I got the Caccio e Pepe and it was phenomenal. Perfectly creamy and delicious, I ate every last bite. My partner got the Pago burger which is the star of their menu. He said it was the best burger he's had. At first, he wasn't sure if he wanted to order it because he said he can get a burger anywhere, but he was so glad that he did. It came with truffle fries, which I also ate many of. You can't go wrong with truffle fries! I got two drinks - their "Draper Mom" with vodka, hibiscus, honey, and lemon I believe. It was wonderful and not too sweet. I also ordered their gin and tonic with a house made lemongrass tonic. It was so delicious and the lemongrass was a nice touch. We went all out and finished with their peanut butter cheesecake with a house made graham cracker crust. We were so stuffed we had to take it to go and ate it later that night. Everything was amazing. Such a quaint, cozy, wonderful experience. Reservations are definitely needed on the weekends as this place fills up quickly. Can't wait to come back! read more

Thank you Logan for being a fabulous server! This spot was on point from beginning to end! So many amazing dishes! The mushrooms and lentils was a fun combo. Little gem salad super light and bright and the addition of popcorn was very unique. My chicken schnitzel was AWESOME! Hello juiciness and that accent of hot honey is always a good idea. Loved me mustard and dill spatzel to complement it. Everyone raved about their dishes. And the caramel gelato was the perfect close to the meal. Such a great meal! read more

Stopped in for lunch. French Toast...large serving, but was barely warm. The brioche was either under cooked, or soaked so long in batter that the top portion looked raw when you cut into it (picture 3) Applewood smoked bacon- thinly cut, barely warm, greasy and not very crispy Eggs Benedict- again, barely warm. Otherwise the taste was OK. Coffee- nothing special, but pricey. Service - the place wasn't busy, but our food was served barely warm and the server never offered to refill our coffee, we had to ask for a 2nd cup. The place is nice, but for the price you'd think they could serve the food piping hot, not lukewarm. An article we read claimed it was the best brunch in salt lake, but that wasn't our experience. read more

Some of the best food I've had in my life! The chef knows what the heck he's doing, and comes up with flavors that you are amazed when you taste! We got the smoked burrata among other things, really good. I also want to note the whipped mousse we got for dessert, probably the best dessert you can find. They were very nice to rearrange some tables to get us in, but usually I understand you need reservations. It's not very big, they have also some tables outside, but no bar area. read more

Staff paired an excellent wine for us, too. read more

I met my friend for brunch here, and I certainly wasn't disappointed by the flavors of their croque madame! We showed up at 11:30AM on a Sunday, and we were able to be seated immediately. If you want guaranteed outdoor seating, book it in advance, because our hostess said the outdoor tables tend to fill up pretty quickly. (Within 30 minutes of sitting down, the outdoor patio was filled to capacity) Our server was sweet and she did a fairly decent job in checking in with us throughout our meal. Service seemed slow, but we didn't mind too much, as we had a ton to catch up on. I ordered the croque madame with an over-medium egg on top instead of the sunny side up that normally comes with it. This was one of the tastiest croque madames that I've ever had! Granted, I haven't tried that many, but out of the few I have, this one takes the cake. It was creamy, the bread was buttered to perfection, and everything was seasoned fantastically. The breakfast potatoes were crispy on the outside and perfectly soft in the middle. Everything was beyond delicious. My only negative would be that the food seemed a tad bit overpriced. Despite my croque madame tasting wonderful, it was $17 with tax. There was a different menu item which was simply eggs, vegetables and breakfast potatoes that cost the same as my croque madame, at $17 w/ tax. However, this is a nice brunch spot in a trendy area of Salt Lake City, so I'm not surprised at the pricing being a little higher. All in all, I would absolutely come back for the croque madame, but only on rare occasions when I feel like paying nearly $20 for a fancy ham, egg and cheese sandwich. read more

2.5/5 I had been to Pago years ago (on main?) and it was a much better experience. Not sure if this has something to do with Covid and inflation... The salmon was cooked nicely but it was paired with cheap ingredients (corn kernel and peas) which made the price point not as reasonable. More importantly the whole dish was cheapened. The corn and peas were already mushy in texture then the whole bottom part of the dish was also swimming in liquid which was a confusing decision or glaring mistake. Flavor was ok - nothing inventive just like something i can make in my kitchen The rotolo was probably the best thing that evening. My friend enjoyed it but was still hungry afterwards. Local mushroom was good but again, no variation of textures or flavors. I appreciate simple cooking done right but this is just not very interesting. read more

We got a table on the patio here for brunch on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. It was a perfect day for outdoor eating and I was brought here by a friend who raved about Pago. Only one of us had a cocktail - the spicy bloody - but it tasted like a Caesar - with clamato juice instead of bloody mix. I could be wrong but if I am, it was very horseradish heavy. We enjoyed the coffee and ordered both the appetizers: Pumpkin bread with burrata: this was the perfect combination of savory and sweet and the burrata and olive oil complemented the pumpkin perfectly. My only ask - it would have been nice if the edges of the bread were crunchier, to contrast the creaminess of the burrata. Pickled strawberries with goat cheese and beets: ah-mahz. So delicious and unique! We also ordered four entrees - The special: short ribs and a fried egg over their brunch potatoes. Eh...it was REALLY heavy and greasy. It needed an element of freshness to brighten it up. This was the case with most of the dishes, TBH. The curried fried rice with trout: delicious! again, it was heavier than I'd like. Kale caesar with trout added: same - very good but even though I ordered "easy dressing" it was still heavy. The trout (albeit a bit oily) was perfectly cooked. Croque Madame: heavy bread, heavy sauce, fatty bacon. This dish was a fail, even if it were in a southern kitchen where butter is the main ingredient in all dishes. The service was solid, albeit a bit of a delay when we needed her, because we were the only table outside. read more

Despite a good location and some nice flavors, Pago is an overpriced restaurant with poor service and an untrustworthy kitchen. I ordered the salmon which was dry. It was served with some type of greens that were so charred and ashy I couldn't eat them. My partner got the stroganoff and he was content with it, but the food and experience were definitely not worth the cost. It took over 10 mins for a server to introduce himself/herself to our table and offer drinks. The food took over an hour to arrive to the table. Our reservation began at 7, and we did not leave until 9.... Weird vibes overall, and we won't be going back. read more

I took my husband here for his birthday. He had been wanting to try it. I'll be honest and say the menu felt limited and adventurous for me, personally. But I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. I really liked the beet appetizer. My burger was also delicious. Unfortunately, I had asked for it well done (I'm expecting), and it came out with some pink, so I had to send it back which I always feel bad about. Our server took it really well. We had some struggles flagging down our server when we needed something, and didn't get checked on much throughout our meal. I'm writing a lot of these kinds of struggles off to the post-COVID staffing struggles. Overall, we really enjoyed Pago and would definitely come back. read more

Came in for brunch on Saturday and luckily we were able to get reservations for a part of 4 on OpenTable. The restaurant was pretty tiny but super cute. The servers were all really nice and great about keeping our coffees filled while we waited for food. We got the eggs benedict and the egg dish (I was luckily able to get my eggs made overeasy vs scrambled but that is because the chef had enough time for the special request). The eggs were pretty small but my guess is that is because they are farm to table vs grocery store eggs. The veggies were super fresh and the potatoes were cooked to perfection. It was a truly lovely meal in a great location with incredible staff! We cannot wait to go back to try lunch and dinner! read more

Finally got around to trying Pago! This has been on my to try list for far too long. The restaurant itself is small and is a great place for a nice quiet dinner, perfect for date night or a nice night out with friends. They also have a little patio which would be great now that the weather is getting nicer! It wasn't too busy the night we went, we did have a reservation. I think it wouldn't hurt to make one if you want to go, as I'm sure this place gets pretty busy. Now to the food! The drink menu had quite a few options. Lots of wine options, and the cocktails sounded great. The food menu is small, but there is plenty of variety. We started with the table X sourdough which came with an herbed butter. The bread was hot and so so good. For entrees we did the Sausage Rotolo and the Short Rib. When we ordered the Rotolo our server lit up and said it was her favorite dish. And it did not disappoint! I had the short rib, and it was one of the best dishes I've had in quite a long time. The short rib was cooked perfectly! The potato and poblano hash was delicious! And all around a 10/10 on this dish. read more

I had promised to find a nice restaurant for a long overdue date night, and after reading many reviews I picked Pago on 9th and 9th. I was a little nervous looking at the prices hoping the ambiance and experience would be worth it, but it was! Our server was lovely. The food and cocktails were divine. At first I felt like the pace of service was slow but I realized it created a luxurious meal with lots of time to chat and enjoy the food. The vibe was great, not formal but still felt very "special occasion." We had a great time and each decided that we couldn't pick a favorite item because all the food was so delicious. read more

Came here for dinner at a clients suggestion the other night, and glad we did! First off, the neighborhood is awesome- lots of people out and about enjoying a springtime evening. The restaurant was great as well - with a great beer selection as well. He had some type of salad that looked great for starters, and I went right for the Stroganoff which was excellent. Overall a great venue and I will definitely return! read more

We did the tasting menu and found that the plates were all perfectly paired and portions. It's difficult to pick which was our favorite. the trout pierogies were very unique and flavorful.

Service was also exceptional - shout out to Austin. Thank you for bringing us the sorrel to sample. read more

Came to Pago for a belated Valentine's Day dinner. Had a good experience overall. The food was delicious. We ordered the kale salad, poutine, salmon and the burger. The kale Cesar salad was awesome. Loved loved the sunchoke chips, and PLEASE get it with the anchovies. Don't be afraid of anchovies! Remember that Cesar salad is based off anchovies. That's what gives it the umami. The potato poutine was so well balanced and delicious. I've always wanted to try sun chokes and I loved it. Loved the pickled Fresno's for jsut the right amount of heat. Delicious gravy. Very well balanced I got the Pago burger and it was much more complex than I expected. My burger was undercooked (more rare than medium rare) so I didn't eat as much of it - but it was yummy. Definitely not a "light" burger. The black garlic aioli added just the right amount of complexity. The fries were perfectly cooked and yummy. I didn't ask them to remake it cause I was so full at that point I didn't want to waste the food. The salmon was so well balanced. So yummy and perfectly cooked with the skin so crispy. The sunchoke was delicious and the Sambal provided the perfect kick. My biggest complaint - it was soooo cold. And I'm usually not cold. But cold enough I couldn't take my jacket off - it was a cold night but I was just surprised it wasn't slightly warmer in the restaurant. read more
