    Rusty birds is my new favorite place to eat chicken! They roast fresh chicken everyday and they add it to meals, wraps and salads. The chicken is tender and flavorful and is better than any other rotisserie chicken I've ever had. My favorite menu items are the chipotle wrap and the Caesar wrap. The dressings/sauces are all house made as well and I can't get enough sauce with my wraps! The owner, Rusty is the nicest guy and always has the best recommendations on the best menu items to order. They also serve breakfast here which I love! The square kitchen has lots of seating inside and is a cozy spot to enjoy your meal.

    Their wraps and salads are so fresh! The rotisserie chicken is perfectly seasoned and not at all dry.

    We had a great dinner at Urban Hill! Cool industrial space with a fun vibe, definitely loud, but…read morein a good way. Service was excellent and our server had lots of great recommendations. The warm skillet rolls were delicious, although we didn't love the herb butter. I had the chicken, which was excellent, but the seasoning on the veggies wasn't my favorite. Three in our group had the filet and loved it, and my son said the burger was outstanding. The fries were awesome too! Cocktails were great, although the martini glasses were surprisingly small. We finished with the pie sampler -- chocolate cream, banana cream and key lime. All were delicious, but banana cream was my favorite! Overall it was definitely on the pricey side but still a great first dinner in SLC!

    Wow! What a fantastic dining experience. My mom and I were…read morein town for a few days and a local bartender recommended Urban Hill. The interior has a classy but not overdone ambiance. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and exactly the right amount of present (if you know what I mean). I enjoyed the maitake on rice with cashew cream and it was delicious. The salty mushrooms were mellowed by the chewy rice. The cashew cream gave a nice variation in texture. I didn't leave a morsel behind. The harissa carrots were nice as well. They are cooked soft and have a moderate spice level that is again contrasted by the mild labneh and tahini base. I had to save the rolls with herb better for last. Oh. My. God. These were divine. I'm a sucker for bread of any kind but these are what the Hawaiian dinner rolls wish they could be. They are perfectly pillowy and the herb butter just elevates them. Do not miss these for more "sophisticated" fare. If I lived here, I would definitely come back. Everything was considered and well-executed. Bravo

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.
