    Gnocchi
    Shan L.

    I was so pleasantly surprised with Roux, it's been a very long time since I've found a well done brunch spot in SLC and this is exactly what I've been hoping to find more of. Very well done food, potatoes and classic Benedict were good, gnocchi was great, though I feel like there could be more dynamic in the flavors -the sage really made the dish beautiful and we really enjoyed it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is perfect, lots of thought put into it and had one of our favorite waitresses in awhile so service was above and beyond.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm looking forward to coming back and trying dinner. We tried another spot the following weekend for brunch and wished we had of just gone back to Roux again lol. Thanks for putting in the thought, effort, and work to creating something beautiful for SLC. We'll definitely be back.

    Mushroom agnolotti
    Christian K.

    Mostly great food, but heavy-handed on the salt. We enjoyed our dinner at Roux last night. Our waitress, Alex, was an absolute treat from the moment we arrived-- seriously a gem of a human being. Our group of 6 attempted to order everything on the small menu and almost succeeded. Standout dishes were the potato pavé, trout ceviche, apple pecan salad, and hanger steak. I tried everything except for the chicken and pappardelle pasta. My trout entree was nice, but the farro that came on top of it was extremely salty. I also wasn't super impressed with the presentation. While we're on the topic of salt, my wife had the mushroom agnolotti, which may have been the saltiest dish I've tried in years. It was nearly inedible. I told Alex how salty these dishes were and she was apologetic and said she would relay the message to the kitchen. I hope they were receptive to the feedback. We all thought the cocktails were good, along with the bread & butter. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has a nice intimate vibe, fitting for a variety of occasions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will I plan a return visit? Probably not soon.

    Duck pasta with homemade burrata
    Anna S.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a charming little space tucked in to 300 south.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You might miss it but it's worth trying it out. The menu is delightfully as the space and the service is attentive but not annoying. We tried the funeral potato pave, a unique take on a classic Utah dish. Brussels sprouts were delicious and a must. For the mains we had, roasted chicken, duck gnocchi and the pappardelle. All tasty and different enough from what you think, that you should try it. Dessert was a cheesecake and butterscotch pudding. Definitely want to try their brunch menu, so I will be back. Make a reservation this place can fill up and parking in the back or on the street.

    Brussels sprouts- amazing
    Dawn K.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a quaint and cozy little space with some flavorful, quality food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was so friendly and wonderful, it just took a long time for our food to come out. We actually came to try the burger, which they no longer serve during dinner, we were so bummed. We started with the Brussels sprouts and the potato pave. Brussels sprouts were amazing, the harissa spice gave them the perfect kick. The potato pave was so good, crispy outside, soft middle, au gratin on crack. Our table ordered many entrees to try a little of everything. Brown butter trout, trout was so good, but the faaro over powered the dish a little 5 spiced glazed chicken was delicious. Moist chicken, slightly crispy exterior, and the accompanying veggies were perfect. Hanger steak, was great, and the Demi glaze I could drink. They had a slow roasted pork special for that night, and everyone loved it! Papppardelle pasta with sausage was yummy, the thick pasta perfectly cooked. Local mushroom agnolotti- was our favorite pasta dish, rich, creamy, flavorful, incredible Potato gnocchi- excellent, so rich. I wish we had room for dessert, maybe next time, looks like we need to come back for lunch to get the burger.

    This was hands down the best dinner I've ever had in Salt Lake. If I could give Roux more than 5 stars, I would! We came on a Friday night and we couldn't believe this place wasn't packed with people with a line out the door. Get your butts to Roux people! The bread and butter came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. We started with the funeral potato pave with a crispy potato on a bed of the most delicious sauce I've ever had. So delicious we begged for the recipe and ordered a second one. My partner got the burger and said it was the best burger he's ever had in his life. I got the mushroom agnolotti and it was incredible. We ordered extra bread to dip in our leftover cheese sauce. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was indoor seating, and we chose to enjoy the night out on the patio, which was lovely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was absolutely incredible. I can't wait to come back and have already told so many people about this place. Thank you for an incredible experience!

    Had dinner there last night, loved it! Great food and drinks. Alex, our server, was funny, attentive, enthusiastic and informative. Great date night spot (:

    Harissa Chicken

    Let me tell you... This food was some of the best food I've had in a very long time. I am a picky eater and when I sat down and saw this menu, I was super worried that I was not going to find anything to eat. There were spices that I didn't know, Sauces that I didn't know. But oh my goodness the food was so tasty. There were so many layers of seasoning. I had the chicken dish and the chicken was cooked to perfection. The Brussels sprouts and funeral potatoes were so good I could have eaten those for a meal only. Then the desserts?!?? I was so full but I had to keep eating!!! Everything we ate was absolutely delicious! I was so happy that my friend chose this place and I cannot wait to take people to this restaurant who come from out of town.

    Gnocchi and Steak entrees
    Nate G.

    We came to enjoy my wife's birthday. She loves Roux because of its fresh ingredients and farm-to-fork nature. This trip didn't disappoint. The focaccia is always incredible. Made in house, you'll want to keep eating more and more of it. But save room for appetizers! I despise beats, but my wife made me try hers and I can honestly say I'm a beet-liever of their version which also had goat cheese. I enjoyed the pork belly that had a perfect crust to it and some Italian green sauce that was out of this world. For the entree I tried the Gnocchi. It was like a Time Machine of nostalgia that brought me back to my days in Uruguay. The sauce was reminiscent and the potato based dough of the pasta was nice. My wife ordered the flank and loved it paired with the broccolini. The flavors abound in all their dishes and create a culinary experience that you must come and try for yourself.

    Organic Chicken Roulade
    Kevin M.

    The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. Our server asked if we would like recommendations, when we said yes she spent time to explain popular dishes. The apps were delicious, we got the harissa Brussels sprouts and the pave potatoes. The Brussels sprouts were literally the best I've ever had! All four of us got different entrees and all were delicious. Then came dessert.... The basque cheesecake was good, BUT the sticky toffee carrot cake was amazing!!!! In all honesty I got back and just order the Brussels sprouts and carrot cake and be a happy man!

    I love me a farm-to-table restaurant, especially close to home. Roux provides a modest menu of seasonal dishes, each one specially curated and selected for the best dining experience they can offer. Reservations are recommended, especially on the weekends, since it's a very small place. They've turned a darling old house into a restaurant and the intimate feeling adds to its charm. Service is welcoming and friendly, but not over the top or intrusive. The food was delicious and flavorful. I appreciate that they could make a modification for me and make a dish without cheese-often chefs take offense to that, and I apologize. But I didn't feel bad making this request here. My favorite part of the meal may have been the bread, surprisingly. I'm not certain what it was, but it was delectable. I had to restrain myself from eating more, otherwise I would spoil my appetite.

    Menu 11/24
    Jenni M.

    We went to Roux in downtown SLC (515 E. 300 S.) for date night earlier tonight after seeing some positive reviews. Overall, we enjoyed the food and the service was amazing. Bread is complementary, and I was stoked because I love bread. We really loved our appetizers--the braised pork belly with maple poached pear ($16) and the funeral potato pave ($9). For our main courses, I enjoyed my pasta dish--the local mushroom agnolotti ($24). It was super pricey for the small portion. My husband was not a fan of the hanger steak ($38). I tried a bite and it was overly salty and tasted burnt. Being the trooper he is, he finished it anyway and we didn't complain. All the cocktails were good, but nothing to write home about. I'm not sure if I would come back. The place felt super cramped, the lighting was bright, the music was odd, and the dining room was super loud as it filled up. The treacherous parking lot has four spaces (we snagged one, being the second table to arrive at 5 p.m.), but plenty of street parking. I wouldn't recommend it for a romantic date night. They mentioned having weekend brunch, but the menu looked pretty basic so we're not sure if we'll go yet.

    This has gotta be one of the most underrated brunch spots in Utah. We had the roux breakfast which had home fries, eggs, sausage, and a biscuit. Eggs were prepared terrifically, the home fries were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, the sausage tasted great as well. The freaking biscuit though, my gosh, amazing! Layers of buttery goodness. Do get it. Pancakes were also good, fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

I was welcomed and taken directly to the bar (as I requested) and offered water choices. I felt very well served!

Wow, the focaccia and other breads in the basket were great, but they add in a garlic butter!!! WOOWOO. Decided on a Hugo Spritz and a Rose Spritz, so two great drinks with dinner. I also ordered the meatball appetizer and the Aglio E Olio pasta. I really loved the Aglio. I thought the meatballs were good, but not my favorite. That being said, I came back the second night for dinner again and they have been spot on with everything (minus the meatballs not being my favorite). The next night I tried the Brasato and those short ribs did fall off! I also had a glass of an extremely expensive wine, so it was nice to be able to try something and that they even have that option!

The restaurant clearly aims for an elevated dining experience, and there's a lot to appreciate in the overall presentation and ambiance. That said, the experience landed more in the "good" than "exceptional" category for us. The dining room was noticeably loud, which made conversation a bit challenging at times. While the food was well presented, the pricing felt a little ambitious relative to the overall quality. Several dishes were extremely heavy on the Parmesan Reggiano--to the point that it overpowered some of the intended flavors rather than complementing them. The service team was kind and well-meaning, though some interactions felt slightly awkward rather than naturally polished. Overall, Matteo delivers a solid dining experience with a lively atmosphere, but at this price point, I was hoping for a bit more refinement and balance. Still a worthwhile visit, especially if you enjoy a vibrant Italian dining scene.

Both arrived to our table shortly before the complimentary bread did. That bread was oh so warm and fluffy, and came with the most delightful herb oil to dip in. The cocktails were good, smooth and well-balanced. The tuna tartare was next to arrive, and it was plated wonderfully. I was very excited to dig in. The bread was toasted to perfection, and the tuna was seasoned with the most delightful citrus notes, just as stated in the menu. It was a perfect combination of flavors, and my favorite dish of the evening. The portion was also generous in my opinion, and we definitely savored each bite. As far as our entrees, we both wanted pasta, and the bison rigatoni caught my eye immediately. The spicy rigatoni spoke to my husband as well, so that's what we both ended up ordering. The pasta was quite decadent, especially mine with the ricotta. We noticed a lot of people packing up leftovers, and quite frankly, if we weren't so hungry, we probably would have had leftovers as well. While the sauce was overall good, it was a little monotone. The rigatoni was also a little overcooked. I honestly expected more, especially coming from CA, where I am no stranger to quality pasta dishes hailing from restaurants in Carmel, Half Moon Bay, and similar towns. We left with our bellies full, and the service was great, but I wished our pasta dishes were better, especially for what we paid (which was comparable to what I've paid in CA, mind you). The tuna tartare was most definitely the highlight of our meal. The next time we're in SLC, I'd come back for the tuna tartare, but it looks like I'll need to do a more thorough search for restaurants that serve better pasta.

    Amazing restaurant with top notch gluten free expertise…read more Chef Nick's creations are A+. The wait staff is so knowledgeable on the menu! A bit noisy, but the trade off in food & service is worth it. A high- end restaurant worth the visit!!

    The sushi restaurant I want to eat at half an hour and a half wait so we went to urban Hill…read moreinstead. There were reservations available so I didn't think it was necessary to make a reservation. However, when we got there 30 minutes later, it was a long line and longer wait for a table for two on a Friday night in the summer. The front desk was kind enough to see us at the oyster bar, which was a much shorter wait. Thank you. The burger was excellent. The fries were hot and crispy and perfect. Chili Rihanna is everything everyone else has written about. Show stopping deliciousness. I got a bubbly white to pair and it cut the spice and paired well. The oysters, however, were a problem. I wanted the oysters from the West Coast. And I got a mix of half-and-half. I sent them back. And I was given back the same half-and-half. But the second guy assured me they were all West Coast. But from the picture and from my taste buds, I can taste the difference. Because creamy oysters are creamy and I like sweet oysters, not creamy. So I felt like they were trying to gaslight me. Especially since I sent it back once. And looking back I'm even more upset because it was $27 for 6 oysters. Get it right. I regret getting them. It was a sour point to an otherwise delicious meal.
