    Miso cod
    Mindi A.

    This place is beautiful. Good location with lots of parking available even on a Friday night. We made reservations through open table and were sat on time. Some of the food was very mid. The appetizer was not hot (fondue) and the mains not seasoned (sole) but they keep their four stars because the miso cod was one of the best things I've ever had. The sauce was amazing! Service was not good. She was very nice but our appetizer and our food came out before our cocktails. We never saw her again to ask about them. So we asked the manager or expo who delivered the mains.

    Ribeye steak

    This was our first time trying out this place for dinner. We got some appetizers to start off with which was the calamari and the drum sticks. The drum sticks I had to say, it was super dry for being smoked and we didn't enjoy it sadly. The calamari definitely could have been crispier too but we liked the sauce that came with it. Our dinner entrees I got the seafood Alfredo, my fiancé got the fish and chips, our guests with us had the burger and the ribeye steak. I had to say, I was super disappointed in my seafood Alfredo. The noodles were undercooked and the fish added in the dish overpowered everything else in the dish. I could barely taste any Alfredo and it was just a super fishy dish for me. The ribeye came as rare than what they requested for medium rare, and she gave me a strip to eat because I couldn't enjoy my pasta. My fiances fish and chip might have been the better dishes of the night but soup did not hit. Service was good as our waiter was attentive and the drinks that we got were pretty good. Overall, cute vibes for date night but I was definitely not impressed with the food and wish I could have been better.

    I need a Wildfin in my town! While visiting family in Utah we decided to eat dinner at Wildfin. None of us had ever been and we all enjoyed it! The menu is jam-packed with a variety of meal options. I decided to order the maple turkey grain bowl. It was delicious! Every time I look at the pictures I wish I could go back and order it again. The ingredients are fresh and full of flavor. We had a 10/10 experience!

    I came here twice and was somewhat disappointed twice. I got the ribeye steak which was pretty decent. Flavor is good and meat is tender. Asked for medium rare but it was a little more rare for my liking. I enjoyed the potatoes though. The fish and chips were good but nothing extraordinary. It came with clam chowder and that was just ok and a little bland. We also got the seafood pasta and I did not like this at all. The noodles were a little hard so it felt like it was undercooked. There was salmon in the pasta which made the whole dish taste like salmon and super fishy. Definitely not a fan and would not recommend. Our waitress was nice but the service is a little slow in getting our drinks. A couple of us got a flight of beers and it was not evenly distributed as some glasses were 50% full and some were 70% full. Not sure if that's a normal thing or not. The ambiance was nice and low key. Overall, I don't mind going back but wouldn't be my first choice.

    What a great experience! We are new to the area and we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary yesterday. We had reservations at a mega-pricey restaurant in SLC, then decided to stay closer to home (South Jordan) and eat someplace great, but with prices that wouldn't break the bank. We are so happy we decided to take a chance and visit WildFin American Grill for the first time! Our amazing server, Felix was so professional, yet personable, and he will definitely be part of our anniversary memories, along with managers, Richard and Julia, who were also incredibly personable as they visited our table to make sure our experience was going well. Then there was the food... I ordered Garlic Prawns and Scallops, and my husband ordered Surf and Turf, with his choices being the Filet and Garlic Prawns. We also ordered Rosemary Potato Bread, which came with both sweet fig butter and chive butter and was to die for! We don't drink much these days, so we enjoyed two non-alcoholic drinks: Brigham's Brew (root beer, peaches and cream) and Blackberry Basil Lemonade. The filet was done perfectly, as were the seafood dishes. Just delicious! We ended our meal with Coconut Cream Pie - something you don't see on many menus - and it was delicious , attractively presented and perfect for celebrating a special occasion. We considered this to be an outstanding experience and convey our heartfelt thanks to Felix, Richard and Julia. Highly recommend!

    Very nice building and atmosphere. Make sure you make reservations. Or get on waiting list early. The place is packed at 6pm. First impressions started out off kilt. It's odd to come from Washington and have Utah weird liquor laws. The receptionist wouldn't let us sit at the bar. She was panicking to not let us sit there. We explained we wanted drinks as we wait for a table and she let us in. Totally odd. Something Utahns are not accustomed to adults who like a pre dinner drink I guess. The waiter and the food redeemed. The Shrimp and Grits was awesome. I'm not much of a grits fan but totally recommend. My wife ordered the French Onion soup and Parmesan Soul. Both to die for. The server Marec was awesome. Made great recommendations, was prompt and anticipated what we needed.

    Wildfin America Grill has a really cool atmosphere and their team was really nice. The food overall was rather disappointing, especially for how expensive it was. I got the ribeye steak which included undercooked potatoes that were really hard. The steak itself was very dry and not cooked as asked. It almost felt as if it was freezer burned or something. Our waiter was really great but a little too attentive. She gave us the dessert menus before anyone was done eating dinner and came back asking when will be ready to order dessert. It almost made it feel like they're trying to rush us out of the restaurant or something.

    Coconut cream pie!

    We did an early dinner around 4 and were seated alone in the restaurant for the beginning of our meal. (Recommend this if you don't want to wait.) The food was fresh--some of it locally sourced which is a great bonus. The service was great and the waitress was helpful with our menu choices. We split a salad and the salmon prepared the seasonal way. Delicious. For dessert we split the coconut pie with a delicious chocolate coated pie crust. It was amazing. They serve Diet Coke--good to know if you are like me and hate Diet Pepsi lol.

    Parmesan-Crusted Sole

    The best word for this restaurant is "rustic." The decor is rustic and so are the flavors of the dishes. Don't get me wrong--I loved my food--but the flavor profile was more...earthy? than I expected. We tried the appetizer tower with the garlic prawns, smoked salmon, and calamari. We also got the bread with fig butter, and I had the Parmesan-crusted sole for my entree. I liked it all, although I would say the calamari was my favorite part. There was an issue at the end of the night, which is the main reason I am only giving the restaurant four stars. The server didn't give us a dessert menu; she just shared the dishes from memory. Although she mentioned the alcohol in the doughnuts, she didn't mention the alcohol in the coconut cream pie. My FIL gave my one-year-old a bunch of pie before the rest of us tasted it and discovered it was boozy! I'm still fairly furious they gave us an alcohol dessert without warning us, especially since we a) are obviously teetotalers since we didn't have any drinks with our meal and b) had a very young child along.

    Welcome to Wildfin (damn, that's a good photo!).

    After a little shopping in Riverton a hunger settled in that needed immediate attention, so we decided to try one of the many new restaurants in the area and Wildfin looked particularly appealing. I just LOVE it when a hunch turns out to be spot on! From beginning to end our experience here was top notch. Our server was professional, polite and attentive, and helped us make some great food choices. First off, the Rosemary Potato Bread as a appetizer is a can't miss. It is served with both a sweet and a traditional butter selection that each completely changes the taste experience--try 'em both, because they are equally scrumptious. We had both the salmon and Mahi Mahi specials. In particular, I tried the Mahi served with roasted cauliflower and I've gotta admit that at first I was a bit hesitant about the idea of fish topped with pistachios and crazins. Well, it turned out to be crazy amazing, so from an alliteration standpoint the toppings were perfect! Honestly, despite my travels on both US coasts and countless seafood dinners at a variety of high end restaurant, I'd absolutely put this Mahi dish in the top ten all time. Just incredibly delicious bite after bite. Then even made the cauliflower taste delicious, and I am not one to voluntarily order cauliflower very often. I also had a bowl of the Seafood Chowder and it was absolutely packed with seafood bite after bite. I did add a bit of hot sauce to it to give it a little kick, but if you're not into that the chowder is plenty tasty as served. Summing it up, Wildfin is a heckuva catch, and a great addition to the Riverton food scene ... but how about adding a location in Holladay?!?

    Great location located in a busy shopping area. The waitress was so nice and spent time going over the menus and drinks. The restaurant itself was clean and good for cocktail parties or casual nights with friends. I ordered the salmon. My brother ordered the shrimp and grits. I enjoyed my food. I did have to add a little salt. I am from the south. Ultimately I liked the freshness of the fish and the quality of the food.

    This is an upscale, trendy seafood place that is bringing a little culture and culinary diversity to the southwest corner of Salt Lake County. Tonight my wife and I visited for the first time and were pleasantly surprised to find such a restaurant close to home. We both ordered the special-halibut with a pistachio crust. It had a creamy sauce on top and a side of zucchini and squash. Overall, it was good-but not something I would probably order again. I think it's just a personal preference, not anything wrong with the food itself. We both drank water and had no appetizers or additional items and our bill was $85. A bit steep for a casual dinner, but I'd splurge and come here for a special occasion. Our server was unintrusive and low key. She was friendly enough, but not overly chatty. Something else of note-this restaurant has a full bar, something not a lot of other places in the area can boast about. So if you want a nice meal paired with an adult bevvy, Wildfin has you covered.

    If I could do 6 stars I would! This place is phenomenal from the service, to the quality of food, and the atmosphere! World class. We sat outside, we ordered our drinks right away. Two minutes later the drinks were out at the table. I drank half of my drink before realizing a gnat had flown in my drink as it was being brought to my table. I asked the waiter if I could have a new one she said of course brought me out a new one quickly. I was impressed without hesitation got me a new drink in less then a minute. Both drinks were so tasty we really enjoyed the cocktails. We were told the the garlic prawns were a very popular appetizer. It looked so good we decided to make it a entree and added some scallops to that meal. My wife got this plate and she absolutely loved it. The mix of the artichokes, cherry tomatoes, and spinach embellished in there garlic sauce makes your mouth water. I loved how light but filling this meal was. My wife said it was the best seafood she has ever had. I snuck in a few bites. I ordered the Alaskan crab stuffed rockfish. It was one of the most unique seafood plates I have ever had and it was phenomenal. The crab, rockfish bedded with mash potatoes was a combination I am so grateful I got to try. Garnish with Parmesan, artichokes and chive beurre blanc just hit the trifecta. Compliments to the chef for these meals. We literally ate it all, perfect portions. We topped it off with there donuts for dessert, cinnamon donuts were so delicious. I am so excited to go back and try more items on the menu. The manager came out and talked to us asking how we liked our meals. We told her that we are going to come back and try everything on the menu. She went on to say that they have a quality policy. If you order a plate and you don't like it. Let them know right away and they will bring out a different meal and take out the previous plate off the check. Sounds great right. Truth is the quality is so great, that no matter what you order you are going to love it. I was thrilled by the whole experience. For sure going to be my new go to spot.

    This was such a fun place for date night with my hubby! The venue is so fun, the entertainment…read moreexciting albeit I wish it was longer than 25 minutes as I really enjoyed it! I want to come work here! The food was really good, and really expensive! Our bill was $145 for the two of us. Our server Jaxson was really knowledgeable on the menu, and really friendly. I don't think there's a bad seat in the house as all the burlesque dancers move around the space. Be prepared with some ones to tip them, but they also take Venmo. I'd love to come back!

    Sad to say, I'm not quite sure what all the hype is about…read more We had to sit outside because the indoor dining room was fully booked for the show. The night actually started off great. Our server was funny, personable, and attentive, especially when it came to drinks and refills. Things started going downhill when I received my entree, the Poor Man's Truffle. Unfortunately, the only way this dish lived up to its name was in how little the supposedly high-quality ingredients seemed to come through. The dish itself is fairly simple, which normally isn't a bad thing when the ingredients are meant to speak for themselves. With Belper Knolle, truffle oil, pistachio pesto, tomato, fennel, and arugula, I expected something flavorful and well balanced. Instead, the entire dish tasted incredibly mild. Belper Knolle is typically a bold, salty, peppery cheese, and I could visibly see the black pepper around the edges of the thin shavings, but the flavor barely registered. I also couldn't taste the truffle oil at all. There was visible oil pooling at the bottom of the plate, but no noticeable truffle flavor. I understand pistachio pesto tends to be more subtle than a traditional basil pesto, but altogether, this dish just fell completely flat for me. The presentation didn't help either. It looked more like something that had been scooped from a pan and dropped onto the plate than a thoughtfully plated entree. When a dish misses both on flavor and presentation, that's when it becomes a real disappointment for me. I will say the gnocchi itself was cooked well, which was one of the few positives. I also tried the burger, and it was significantly better than my pasta. However, the very small sprinkle of bacon was a little baffling considering it was an additional upcharge. Where the night really went downhill was at the end of the meal. I had been excited to try the beignets because that isn't a dessert I see on menus very often. Our entree plates were cleared, and then we waited about 20 minutes before our server returned and asked whether we were ready for the check. Dessert wasn't mentioned, and by that point our table was tired of waiting, so we decided to skip it and asked for our checks. Then our server disappeared for another 30 minutes. We eventually had to flag down a hostess who was seating another table and let her know that we were still waiting for the check. About five minutes later, our server finally returned and casually explained how "crazy" the night had gotten because of the show. I understand restaurants get busy, but the apology felt very dismissive after we had waited nearly an hour from finishing our entrees to finally receiving the check. It genuinely felt like our table had simply been forgotten. I also want to add that I tend to hold restaurants like this to a higher standard. I'm a big believer in "you get what you pay for." If I'm eating at a fast-food spot or somewhere inexpensive and casual, there's only so much room to complain. But when a restaurant has prices like this, highlights premium ingredients on the menu, and presents itself as a more elevated dining experience, I think that naturally opens the food and service up to more criticism. At that price point, I expect the quality, presentation, and overall experience to reflect what I'm paying for. My final takeaway is that maybe I ordered the wrong dish. Pesto is one of my favorite things, so I almost always want to give a pesto-based dish a try. Unfortunately, Prohibition's pesto gnocchi was not it for me. I also saw that they describe themselves as a scratch kitchen using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients, which I don't necessarily doubt. What confused me was how so many ingredients that should have distinct flavors somehow tasted like almost nothing. If your goal is interesting drinks and a fun show, this is probably still a place worth considering. Since we sat outside, I can't speak on the show part, but it seems to be a big hit. Food-wise, though, it missed the mark for me.

    We had an incredible experience coming in as a family! Usually going to new places there are food…read morethat sucks or is just so-so... not here! Genuinely, everything we had was amazing. (And I'm a picky eater.) You can taste the level of care they put into every dish. I love that nothing tasted oily... everything tasted really clean and packed with flavor! There's something special about the food. Even the dessert was great and I'm extra picky about dessert... I didn't even want to try the cake, but it was SO light and most, flavorful without being overly sweet-- it's a big slice, and you can keep going back for more! The mangoes in the mango sticky rice was great too! The service was amazing. Nina made us feel special... it was like the most incredible family meal. (That pandan mocktail was special too.) We don't even live in Utah, and I'd gladly make the trip from Vegas to make this a must-need spot. If you have the chance to come here-- DO IT! You're anyway missing out. I want to eat everything again!!

    This is the story of a love affair that started nearly a year ago... from 250 miles away…read more I'm from Idaho, and somehow Big Mango found its way into my Instagram feed. One look and I was hooked. I immediately pinned it to my restaurant bucket list and started scheming up just about any excuse I could think of to justify a four-hour drive to Riverton. Eventually, I ran out of excuses and just made the drive. For months I'd been studying the menu like I was preparing for a final exam. On one hand were all the incredible traditional Thai dishes. Having been to Thailand three times, I'm always chasing that meal that can transport me back without requiring a 24-hour flight. On the other hand, there were so many creative fusion dishes that looked impossible to pass up. After an embarrassingly long internal debate, I landed on the Double Wagyu Smashburger. It. Did. Not. Disappoint. Normally, there's about a zero percent chance you'll catch me ordering a burger with raw onions. But this one deserved my trust, so I ordered it exactly as intended. The red onions were diced so finely, and paired so perfectly with the crispy onions, that my taste buds completely short-circuited. I'm pretty sure I briefly left my body. Every expectation I'd built up over the past year was somehow exceeded. Needless to say, I'm already trying to come up with my next completely reasonable excuse to drive four hours to Riverton again. See you soon, Big Mango.
