Before heading to the airport, we decided to stop by White Horse in downtown Salt Lake City, and…read moreI'm glad we did. It's a great spot with a rustic, warm, and inviting atmosphere. The service was very welcoming, and the staff really took care of us throughout our visit. The food was delicious--I went with the Wagyu cheeseburger, which was excellent. I also ordered an Old Fashioned and noticed a fun little detail: the ice is shaped like a horse! Such a cool touch that fits perfectly with the restaurant. If I'm ever back in Salt Lake City, I'll definitely make it a point to stop by again.

Sergio was a wonderful server and gave us good recommendations and was engaging. We had the burnt Hot Dog ends which I thought were very tasty. A light BBQ sauce was just right. Also had the Short Rib Steak that was tender and had a delicious pesto topping. Finally we tried the Pepp-Pepper flat bread pizza. This is a pizza with pepperoni and banana peppers with a very tasty tomato sauce. All were delicious! A prior review mentioned a change card fee that we also noticed. Sergio explained this is mandated by the State and not the restaurant and he doesn't like it either. All in all very pleased and we will go back.

However, additional details create a loving connection - its off-Broadway central location, the copper-paneled ceiling that mimics warm conversations in varied spaces (cocktail, chef's counter, expandable tables for groups, and outdoor), fresh, locally-sourced ingredients with service to match. It's the place where I had my first glass of Turley Zinfandel (education alongside), and the place I will always return for my favorite Wagyu Beef Stroganoff (a comfort from home, but upscale). This one delivered with large, firm, expertly seasoned portobello & forest mushrooms over wide, freshly handmade pappardelle pasta that soaks up rich beef stock (a touch of black pepper) blended with crème fraîche. A generous portion of wagyu is tender and rich. PRO TIP: Mix then let it sit & marinade a minute - flavor pays in dividends. For dessert, a Valhrona Chocolate Pudding topped with whip cream and Maldon flake salt - exquisite, but expensive. The texture is comforting and delicious - olive oil adds a lingering finish with slight fruit.

Host name is Carleigh…read more We had a reservation for 8:00 PM and arrived around 7:50 PM. When we checked in, the host, Carleigh, immediately told us it would be a 20-30 minute wait. I informed her that we had a reservation under my name, John, but she simply looked at her list, seemed annoyed, and told us to wait anyway. While we were waiting, we watched several parties of two arrive after us with reservations at 8:10, 8:15, and even 8:20, and they were seated before us. After waiting about 20 minutes, I went back to ask how much longer it would be. I was told it would be another 20 minutes. I reminded Carleigh that we had a reservation, and her response was, "Oh, you did?" She then asked for my full name and phone number, looked up the reservation, apologized, and immediately escorted us to a table that appeared to have been ready the entire time. This was extremely frustrating and disappointing. Reservations are made so guests don't have to wait behind people who arrive later. It felt like our reservation had been completely ignored until I spoke up a second time. Whether this was poor organization or a lack of attention, the level of service at the front desk was unacceptable. We came looking forward to a nice family dinner, but the experience started with unnecessary frustration and left a very poor first impression. I sincerely hope additional training is provided so this doesn't happen to other guests.

The service was also top notch. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive and there was who I assume to be a manager walking around checking on both customers and the food at the buffet frequently. Unfortunately, that's where the "premium" feel ended for me. The food that I had was honestly just okay. Honestly, I don't think any of it would feel out of place at a much cheaper buffet. The prime rib was kind of dry and the crab legs were very very skinny. The food I enjoyed the most was the NY steak, red snapper, and the mussels. None of them however would be worth the price tag. All that said, if that's where my reviewed stopped, I'd probably be giving two stars. The desserts were by and far the stars of the show. The dessert table itself felt like one of those magical tables at hogwarts that's got every delicious thing imaginable. Both the presentation, and execution of each and every dessert was extremely high quality. My favorites were the bread pudding, blueberry lemony cheese cakes and creme puffs. This buffet is almost worth it for the dessert choice alone. If I were to come back, it would be on a week day where it's a little cheaper and I'd consider it a dessert trip rather than dinner.

Last night, I brought my team to the downtown Salt Lake City location with one goal in mind: to let them experience "Unreasonable Hospitality" not just hear about it. And once again, The Capital Grille delivered flawlessly. What makes this brand exceptional is its unwavering consistency. Whether I'm dining in Las Vegas on the Strip, Arizona, Michigan, Denver, or Florida, I know exactly what I'm going to get: - Impeccable service - Perfectly executed food (hot food hot, cold food cold--every single time) - An immaculate, elevated dining environment But Salt Lake City? This location is personal. It's special. Before the dinner, I reached out hoping to have my favorite server, Jeana, take care of us. She wasn't scheduled... but what happened next says everything about this team and this brand, she came in on her day off to serve us. And Jeana is simply exceptional. Her service is intuitive, polished, and completely effortless. She reads the table perfectly, anticipating needs before they're ever spoken, pacing the experience seamlessly, and delivering each touchpoint with genuine warmth and confidence. She doesn't just serve a table, she owns the experience, making every guest feel seen, valued, and taken care of at the highest level. That level of care, ownership, and pride is rare. From the moment we walked in, the experience was dialed in: - Hosts Kylie, Maeve, and Jasmine welcomed us with warmth and professionalism - Managers Janie and Aaron were fully present, orchestrating the floor and ensuring every detail was perfect - Every touchpoint--from greeting to dessert--felt intentional, polished, and elevated This wasn't just dinner. It was a masterclass in hospitality. If you're looking for a place that defines consistency, excellence, and what it truly means to care about the guest experience, The Capital Grille is it. And the Salt Lake City location continues to exceed even the highest expectations. Highly, highly recommend.

From the moment we walked in, the welcome felt cold. Before anything else, we were questioned about whether we had a reservation. After confirming we did, we were told my fiancé would have to turn his shirt inside out because it contained profanity. We honestly hadn't noticed the wording on his shirt, and while we understand a restaurant has the right to enforce a dress code, the way it was handled immediately made us feel unwelcome. We weren't about to spend $200-300 on an anniversary dinner after our first impression was being made to feel uncomfortable at the front door, so we left. There are plenty of excellent steakhouses with outstanding food, great service, and a much more welcoming atmosphere. We'll gladly spend our money at those instead. We won't be back.

We had hoped for a more intimate atmosphere for our night out, however, the restaurant is definitely more lively and louder than a quiet intimate dinner out. There must have been a notable person sitting next to us because everyone it seemed that worked in the restaurant stopped by the table and had a conversation with this couple, and when the chef came out and walked right by us to have a conversation with the table next to us, that's when it dawned on me as a chef doesn't normally come out just to talk to a normal person like us. It was a little bit irritating with all the hoopla at the table next to us which put a little bit of damper on our anniversary meal. Especially when our waiter devoted significant time to the "special" table leaving us feeling a bit neglected in a top-tier restaurant like Urban Hill. However, the meal itself was delicious.

We paired that with the Grilled Asparagus and Lyonnaise Fingerling Potatoes, which both paired so nicely with our protein. Since it was our Anniversary, they gave us a complementary dessert - we chose the Crème Brûlée, and it was so creamy and rich. We loved having some fruit with it to give it a bit of freshness!

They said the prices of Lobster had gone up so much that it didn't make sense any longer. And the Shrimp, 4 big, splayed shrimp for $24 dollars was almost as good. But nothing beets the Spicey Lobster. We ordered the Au gratin Potatoes as usual for a side and the potatoes were a little hard and under cooked, but still tasted good. Not as cheesy as we've had in the past. My father and I both ordered the Filet with Shrimp, medium rare. The shrimp were three big prongs in a wheel placed on top of the steak. They were a little on the tough side and lacking a little flavor. The steaks came out with a light pink center what I would call Med Well. My father commented on this as well and the server overheard and offered to redo the steaks. The service here is impeccable, they really do go out of their way to give exceptional service. However, when the brought the steaks back they had a cold red center, rare. I tried to cook them on the 500-degree plate, but it wasn't the same. Normally when we come here the steaks are perfect with a nice, seared crust and perfect temperature inside. The server did offer another hot plate to continue cooking but I didn't want to be a bother. Just an off night. It's too bad as my Dad commented the next day that we had an interesting experience at dinner, not the impact I was looking for. My wife had the petite filet with blue cheese crumbles, med-rare which was cooked to temperature and very good. For three of us with entrees, two sides, an appetizer and comped desserts it still came to $370 with tip. They gave my Dad a free desert and offered one to my wife and I as well. Very nice of them.
