“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.“

“We came here unplanned with our 3 children from Australia and were welcomed by your friendly staff. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was just as great. Thank you for having us.“

“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!!“

“We went here for our anniversary. We did the chefs counter which puts you front and center with all the action there. The head chef then served us this amazing 3 course meal. Every stage was perfection. After watching those guys make dish after dish my wife and I couldn't stop talking about them and how we wanted to try them. We'll be back. Highly recommended“

“Uniquely different. Amazing, knowledgeable servers. Delicious food.“

“WOW!!! As far as this review and my opinion.... this place is awesome and amazing. The vibe, the food, both Austin and Sandra were the perfect host to our special day. I dont drink alcohol so it really made no difference, i am a fan of breweries and i can say the beer here is like no other. The food was hard to choose from since this is our first time here. All i can say is this will be my come to place when we are in town with a few hours to spare. We had the house wings with white sauce, my mouth was in heaven and we both had the falafel salad, another perfect choice.the portions were perfect size for me and my new fiancee. (Thanks to Nomad eatery) it was a very pleasant atmosphere for our lifestyle. We shared the peaches and cream desert, but the name should be punches and scream... get your own!! Im a chocolate lover but the homemade granola was to try and the blend of peaches and cream was the perfect pair. The Vibe!!! This place may be small, but it definately has an atmosphere of what you bring to the table. The indoor seating is nice, the outdoor seating is perfect for large groups and "fur babies" we ran short on time with all of our planned festivies, that our little girl had to wait. I can say say a whole lot more, but i will stop at the general store and restroom. Clean and inviting as any other part of this establishment. From the time we stepped foot inside the door and paid our bill we were treated like we belonged there. I am glad i chose this awesome place to get engaged. Thanks again Austin and Sandra you two rock!! ❤️ The Liberty Nomads Eric, Christine and Athena oops, forgot Bonay McRonay“

“Great meal last night. Crispy Pork Belly was amazing and a generous portion. Followed up with Fire Roasted Maitaki Mushrooms and a glass of Nebbiolo. Rye Boulevardier (a Negoni with whiskey) for a night cap. All delicious. Friendly yet prompt and professional service. Chatted with sommelier Katie about the awesome wine program. Beautiful space. Wil be back next time in SLC.“

“None of the food locations in the zoo have a lot of food choices, but Shoreline has better quality food than the other locations. I told the Team Lead that the condiment cups were out, and she was very cheerful and refilled them within 20 seconds.“

“Wonderful dining experience! Food was absolutely delicious and our waiter Adam was fantastic! Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

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

“If you’re ever in Salt Lake City - Savannah and crew are some of the loveliest people I’ve met in a long while and they’ve been taking good care of me while on assignment here with the FAA from out of state. The staff are friendly, timely, and have made me feel so welcome, A+ service from all staff there! I love the vibe and atmosphere there. It’s so cozy. This has been my favorite spot in Salt Lake while here! Dinner - breakfast - their alcohol you HAVE to try it all if you ever come through SLC! This place outdoes everything I’ve ever tried back home in Vegas!“

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

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

“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!“

“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“

“The last time we went up to eat at Lucky 13, it was great. The burgers are the best and the service is top notch.“

“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!“

“Their sweet potato fries literally stopped me (and my husband) mid sentence as we tasted them. So tasty.“

“The shrimp and grits are fantastic“

“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.“

“I'm never disappointed with Uncle Rico (without cilantro)! If you like beef and mashed potatoes, I highly recommend!“

“I'm not even sure where to begin. I am a young combat Veteran. This was the only place near me that I thought I'd have a chance of connecting with other veterans and families of veterans. Last night, Aug 14th, after only a few minutes there I was met with hostility, degrading comments, and physical assault by an intixicated individual. His name is Keven Sloan who isnt even a Vet. I'm in shock that the victims (myself and my friend who is also a combat vet) were removed from the establishment and the aggressors were allowed to follow us to our vehicles. And the people here were completely ok with it. Even as I was signing my tab, these aggressors were by my vehicle the entire time wanting physical altercations. I'm pursuing legal remedies at this time. The news outlets are aware too of what transpired. Stay away from this poorly ran establishment. It's not Vet friendly.“

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

“Thanks Sammy. She’s an awesome bartender.“

“Good beef dog! and the Gluten Free bun is awesome- great place for a good dog Joseph was very nice and helpful“

“Great service and staff..“

“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).“

“Great spot for a weekday lunch! Arrived around 12:15 and were seated right away, even though it was busy. Service was fast and attentive. The daily special (sirloin over mashed potatoes with a Brussels sprout mix and white aioli) was outstanding. Others had the southwest and roast beef sandwiches—both were a hit. Perfect for a quick, enjoyable lunch or a casual business meeting.“

“Beautiful views and good food (for a hospital). It could obviously be a little more seasoned but hospital food isn’t known for its seasoning for a reason. I prefer going here over the main hospital because of it’s made-to-order food, instead of burgers that have been under a heat lamp. Plus the fries are yummy :)“

“We ordered 10 meals for an early lunch (11 am). I ordered online with a pick-up time of 11. They don't open until 11 am but I was greeted kindly and they were already preparing my meals. They had them to me by 11:10 with a smile and a great attitude. The meals were all amazing. Only a few of the people there had tried the restaurant and every one of them said they would get their meal again. I have found a new favorite restaurant. The food was fresh, healthy and well prepared with good portions of fish/steak/chicken. Thank you Flower Child! I look forward to visiting you again in the future.“

“Wonderful experience for our Anniversary! You won’t be disappointed☺️“

“Great food choices and the server jimmy he is awesome!! I would recommend him if you want great customer service experience and helpful feedback on your food choice at the restaurant. I had the rainbow trout and it was a 10/10!! The rainbow trout was by far the BEST rainbow trout I have ever tasted!! If you’re into seafood I recommend to try the rainbow trout.🙌🏽❤️“

“Making great burgers and hand cut fries just inside the second floor Social Hall Ave entrance to Harmons Grocery. Made to order, thick and juicy, a ton of hot fresh cut fries, a soda machine, and three condiment stations where you can dress your burger in multiple ways--from arugula and pickled beets, to onions, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, relish, kraut, mushrooms, etc etc, including a dozen squeeze bottles of sauces. Have it the way you like it. Plenty of room to eat your burger on the 2d floor overlooking Harmons main floor grocery. A nice lunch spot when you're on the move.“

“I'm never disappointed with Uncle Rico (without cilantro)! If you like beef and mashed potatoes, I highly recommend!“

“Love the speakeasy atmosphere. Food and cocktails were delicious. Will definitely be back.“

“so yummy. and really nice environment. loved going out with friends.“

“Had the pleasant fortune of stopping in during happy hour and being served by Sergio. Absolutely top notch service and recommendations!

Sergio went above and beyond to make sure we had an A++ experience and we will definitely be back next time we are in town just because of him.

Food was great, drinks were perfectly balanced, and the service was phenomenal.“

“We visited SLC from the UK in June and discovered Nona Bistro on TikTok! It was such a gem—the food was delicious, the atmosphere calm and relaxed, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. It made for a memorable experience.
Here’s what we ate:

• Focaccia Bread: Perfectly done—chef’s kiss, 10/10.
• Charcuterie Board: A nice variety, though a dip would’ve added extra flavour and texture to the spread.
• Cast Iron Lasagne: Absolutely delicious!
• Chicken Piccata: Nice, but drenched in capers, slightly too crispy and a bit spicier than expected. I wasn’t aware it would have a kick, and unfortunately, spice can trigger my endometriosis symptoms, so I couldn’t finish it.
• Dessert: Olive oil pound cake with bourbon whipped cream and berry compote. Honestly, I still dream about it—20/10, could’ve easily had two!

Overall, a lovely experience and highly recommended!“

“Literally cannot say enough good things about Rumsy’s. Huge value add to having a Front membership. As a remote worker and student, it literally makes the difference in me being able to get a workout in during my day. I can come and work here, eat lunch, and get in a lil workout during my break. Alec and the boys always hook it up with GREAT food. Thanks to Rumsys and the Front for making my day a little easier.“

“Your guys' food is freaking amazing~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~“

“Great beer wonderful service and awesome food! What more can a guy ask for?“

“It has been a minute since i was here last. Was up in the area and was telling a friend about the Gawd Awful and how good it was when i ate there while doing work up at the U. It has totally been revamped inside to a new clean Hipster feel with a more “cleaned up modified version” of what i remember. As it was still good and the portion size was smaller it was still really good. But i do miss the old “Dive” it once was tho. It is what made it stand out among the rest of the new hipster joints piping up in the area. It was a really cool place to take people and no one would expect the food to be so good and it proved them wrong every time. We will just have to get used to the new i guess“

“I haven't been here in probaby 10 years. I was invited out with a group of friends, parking was alright, you have to pay at the meter, the food was actually pretty good for bar food, totally wish they offered 20oz steaks, but I settled for the four chicken strips (carnivore diet), the live music was chill, lots of classics, which always bring you back to simpler times. The waitresses are very polite and on it whenever you needed something, which is always appreciated, the bouncers had a sense of humor and could carry a conversation. I don't drink, but all my friends seemed to be having a good time (party of 9). They have a really nice back area. Over all definitely need to come back. Thanks Gracies for a good night! See you hopefully soon!“

“What an amazing experience, food/drinks + music 👌🏽“

“I just knocked over my partners drink, and these sweethearts brought us a new one. Great food, yummy drinks, great atmosphere.“

“Super rad place ! What a very awesome concept.“

“We had a small family gathering with a lot of food sensitivity and allergy issues. Cadan’s expertise in the cross contamination and safety protocols has been a life saver for our family. We are grateful to be so fortunate to receive such valuable support and care. Give that man a raise!“

“I’ve eaten at Nordstrom Grill three times now, and one thing is consistent: the artichoke spinach dip is absolutely out of this world. I’ve ordered it every visit, and it never disappoints.

The service is great overall—friendly and professional—but it could be just a bit more attentive during peak times. On my most recent visit, I tried the French dip. The flavor was good, but the bread was unfortunately overcooked, which took away from what could have been an excellent dish.

That said, the atmosphere is comfortable, the food quality is generally solid, and it’s still a place I enjoy returning to—especially for that dip alone.
