“The food!! The Service!!! The ambience!!!“

“This burger changed my life. Pastrami, corned beef, beef, gyro meat, I am feeling sleepy now. This sandwich is the truth. After a horrible breakfast experience in Payson IHOP, Apollo has redeemed Utah for food single-handedly“

“Phenomenal chefs table experience. Morgan was exceptional. Would definitely come back!“

“With winter on the way, you have to have a bowl of "Some Soup." I can't tell you what is in it because Chef Milo's drive to create results in new recipes every week (I think?), but what never changes is the always exceptional blends of flavors.“

“RHIANNON IS THE BEST SERVER ASK FOR HER. The best experience and the best food thank you!!!!“

“Visited when in town for a wedding and Franklin Ave became our go-to stop. Their food is delicious. On our last night they were busy and we could only be seated downstairs. We sat at the bar and had appetizers while we watched three incredible bartenders show their talents with all of the mixers, tinctures,etc. Very highly recommend!“

“Incredible food, fun open kitchen, enchanting and romantic communal-style dining with excellent staff!“

“How could someone give this place less than 5 stars? It’s unreal! We ordered the Shroom, Oklahoma, and Westerner. All three were incredible and the fries were top tier. The service was fantastic and the location was fun. Will be back SOON!“

“Have come twice now when we visit our daughter and fiancé who live here. Fantastic time. Food, service, atmosphere is amazing. Highly recommend!“

“What amazing Stromboli’s. So fresh and full of so much flavors. Kyle greeted my wife and I when we arrived to pick our sandwich a up. We were a little late and were offered new fries. What a great jester. I would recommend everyone to try this at least once. You will always come back!!“

“Love this beautiful place“

“OMG! This place is AMAZING! If you're a first time visitor, they'll ask for your name, and then even remember you the next time you come in. That, along with their truly delicious food, is just 1 of the many reasons I keep coming back. Each day they serve a different daily special. Their meatball sub and sloppy Joe's are my favorites so far. Their chicken cordon blue is FANTABULOUS as well. But, it's more than just the food that keeps me coming back. Mandy, the owner, is exactly how 1 would expect an owner to be. Her friendliness towards every customer is more than just amazing. She, along with Lisa and Candice, make me feel like I'm much more than just a customer. I could probably go on and on, but, you get my point. Please come in and see all of this for yourself?“

“Delicious, quick and fit our budget❣️“

“have been there a couple dozen times and will keep going back the HOSS is the best thing but it is the only thing I have ever had but everything is great the waitresses are all very nice and helpful but please don't take my word for it get there and try it for yourself it is the best place to eat it is my Saturday morning spot the one on 1700 south was there yesterday. So get off the couch and please get to Sweet Lake Biscuits & Limeade you will be happy you did... also get on the wait list before you get there it's a busy place because it is great“

“This is a good burger, when you're hungry. They provide a good amount of fries, and the service was quick.
For the price I was hoping for a bigger burger.

The restaurant was clean and comfortable, and the employees were kind and respectful.“

“Stayed on the 16th floor this last week, all new carpet. Such a nice hotel, one of our favorite places to stay. 6/7/2024“

“Fantastic Food. Great Service Fun Drinks Love the brick walls.“

“The experience at Tucson Bistro was incredible, thanks to Mr. Keval! They are an amazing mixologist who created the best drinks anyone has ever had. Even on a busy night, customers feel like they are the only ones there, with the bartender checking in at the right moments. We love coming Radison again 🤩“

“the meat loaf dinner was yummy“

“I love Legends! All the staff is so amazing! HANNA, SERVER HANNA, CHELSEA, DRE, RACHEL ARE BEST! Fun and efficient at there jobs. All the cooks here do a fantastic job. The food is some of the best in SLC and that is coming from a chef! The owners really care about their store and helping support local businesses.“

“Love the way I am always greeted when I walk in. Prompt service, and will customize orders on request. One of my favorite breakfast places.“

“Can't recommend this place enough. The service is the best I've seen. The servers work together and everyone works all the tables. The food comes out faster than any place I've seen. The other day I timed it. 4 minutes from order to delivery, and that is typical. Try the corned beef hash.“

“The Utah Burger is the Best Burger I’ve ever had!!! (Cheeseburger, BLT, Pastrami, Gyro Meat)“

“Perfect for a family breakfast. HUGE menu with a lot of choices (even vegan!!). I got a vegan veggie bowl with scrambled tofu - it was delicious. We also got avocado toast, oatmeal, blueberry pancakes and a single strawberry pancake. Everyone has happy with their food and service was great (server was Carlie).“

“Twas a chilly night riding the motorcycle and I’ve been wanting to go to this place for a while now and it did not disappoint.

I got the avocado hummus and olive oil cake which Joshua recommended. As the young kids say it was absolutely BUSSIN…

Joshua did a great job explaining and giving recommendations. Cool, nice, and kind dude.

I definitely recommend trying this place out.“

“From scratch has amazing food. Mom and I went there for lunch and it was extremely yummy!“

“We visited last night to celebrate my wife's birthday, together with my mother-in-law and our 5-year-old son. It was a wonderful experience: the atmosphere felt warm and family-friendly, yet at the same time very cool, with great vibes all around. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel truly welcomed throughout the evening. A place that perfectly combines coziness and style — ideal both for a family dinner and for a special occasion. We'll definitely be back! 🎉“

“Oh my...where do I begin? The food is so so delicious. Just finished a dinner of Salmon with roasted veggies topped with coconut curry. You know when you are already full but you want to keep eating because it just tastes sooo good? That it. We tried the Seitan Pot Pie last week and it was equally savory. Thank you Brooke for giving me a few nights off from cooking with your wonderful prepared entrees.❤“

“Now I believe what people say about you is true. You are indeed a man of your words, you have changed many lives positively including mine thanks for your good works and kindness ⤵️⤵️ #professordivinesolutionrealm“

“Our server, Tonya, was Fantastic! And the food was super yummy! We went because we read the reviews about their steak being really good. Sadly it was not. It needed more flavor and was rubbery. The side veggies we got with it were really good though! Definitely not what we were hoping for. However, my margarita flat bread was AWESOME! it was so yummy!“

“Came here for coffee and a light breakfast. I got the toast of the day, beet hummus and ricotta and my friend got the sandwich of the day, ham and cheese. The toast was good but was pretty expensive at $9. The sandwich was a better deal at $12 and was quite tasty but it had really fibrous, inedible pieces of fennel in it which you had to pick out. I also got a couple pastries and a sourdough loaf to-go. The pain au chocolate was $9 but was ridiculously good, so flaky and buttery! Worth it as a special treat. The food was good but didn't seem worth the price, I think the move for table x bread is going for the freshly baked pastries and breads instead of ordering the toasts/sandwiches. Their bread is so good, crispy and crusty on the outside but soft on the inside, highly recommend the sourdough. The drip coffee was also worth it, very flavorful and reasonably priced. If you plan to eat here, be mindful that there are only 3 indoor seats (there are several small tables outside).“

“My husband and I had dinner there a few nights ago and the food was fabulous. My pork osso buco was so tender and my husband’s chicken provoleta was equally delicious. We also had the spinach and artichoke dip with artisan flat bread and the multi layer chocolate cake and loved both. My education is in design so I pay close attention to my surroundings. The restaurant is beautifully designed and not overdone and from what I saw every table in the restaurant has a view of the city. The flatware was the perfect weight and designed by the well known British designer Robert Welch and lastly the beautiful linens are manufactured in Italy for a beautiful soft finishing touch. All and all it was a wonderful dinner and the staff was perfect, especially our server Sam she was very professional. When we were leaving we saw one of the chefs and told him how much we loved our dinner. He informed us that they have only been open for a week and a half. We were really surprised. I’ve been to other restaurants that have been open for months and can’t get the food and staff in sync no matter how hard they try. It was a great experience and we will definitely be back and will be bringing friends.“

“Salt Republic served our large 15+ group of women for dinner. One of us was in a large electric wheelchair. I was happy that they set us up in a private room so we could talk, laugh and carry on. Their service was quick and friendly. The menu was limited for that reason, but we still had a great variety. Food was hot and delicious.“

“We had not been to Log Haven in years. We are finding a restaurant each month to dine out. A GREAT choice. The food was excellent and well prepared along with the presentation. For as busy it was, we were surprised that the noise level was fine. Our server, Savanna, was excellent! My wife asked her about several items on the menu and she explained with an unbelievable description. Thank you for an enjoyable evening of dining.“

“Loved our experience here! We made reservations for a Saturday night at 7, but it wasn't necessary. There was plenty of seating. Our waiter was great and the drink options were great, too! It's shareable plates so make sure to remember that when ordering. Everything was cooked to perfection. We had the pork, steak, and fish, and several appetizers. The fish is my typical go to at every restaurant, however, it wasn't as good as the other dishes. Still great though!“

“Let me start by saying I never leave reviews haha. I ordered the shareable sampler. Came out in less than 5 mins 😮. Everything on the sampler was superb. It also came with all the sauces one would need. I was really impressed!!! Plenty of food for two people. Restaurant was very clean and staff friendly! 5 Stars“

“Wouldn't go here to sit down and eat, it's a bar hosting Karaoke after 10pm, but might have decent bar atmosphere before that, if that's your thing. The burger was the best burger I've ever had in my entire life. No hyperbole. Best. Ever.“

“We came here for brunch for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was also our first time coming here. The food was absolutely delicious AND we got a free dessert for her birthday. Not only was it free, it was a delicious, house-made crème brûlée! We will definitely be coming back!“

“This place is amazing. Everything is always delicious and the manager always goes out of his way to make great, homemade food that will blow you away! They also have innovative new foods like poke or cool new pastas. Love to eat here. When I leave the company this will be the place I miss the most!“

“Overall, it's a great place to eat. I appreciate the good prices. The only reason it's not 5 stars like almost everything else in this Hospital, is because of the service. They have ludicrous hours (closing the grill at 6:45, the peak of dinner time???). My wife and I have also noticed multiple times where the grill workers will move at a snails pace from 6:15 until they close it at 6:45. I don't know if that's intentional, but it's frustrating to be in line for 25 minutes and then they just close the grill station. At no other time of day, no matter how busy, does it take 25 minutes at the grill.“

“delicious!! nice big portions. I had breakfast left overs for 2 days.“

“We enjoyed a delicious dinner, the wait staff were top notch, our glasses were always full!
The Atmosphere is awesome!
We had our 4 year grandchild with us, and no one seemed bothered by her goofy actions.
I enjoyed the salmon, others at the table had pizza, French fries and a club sandwich. Food was delicious.“

“Excellent! Best fries ever, great sandwiches!!! Great service as well“

“Perfect dinner for the last night of a trip! Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal and the ladies were friendly and sweet! Close to the SLC airport!“

“Delicious food, friendly service and great vibes all around! Thanks for a great lunch!“

“This place is conveniently located near many of the hotels by the SLC Airport. Service was great, friendly and very accommodating. The patty melt sandwiches were bigger than what I'm used to. Needless to say they give large portions! The food was very delicious!“

“On 6th floor of Huntsman is a delightful Bistro. Their special linguini Spagetti with yummy meatballs was under $10.

Parking: We have a disabled placard which made parking in visitor parking easy. We went on a Monday and there was both self & valet parking at the Huntsman. A flute & a string instrument played by 2 volunteers set ambience of the day! The whole experience was impressive.“
