New American Restaurants in Salt Lake City, UT

“My first time there, first let's start with the ambience..it's pretty great, would advice to book table first as it gets busy and waits are long. I was accommodated at the bar as was by myself for a quick bite. The drinks menu had ample choice of cocktails but again it was a quick bite so just had wine. No appetizers went straight for the entrée which was the pork tenderloin..the pork was tender and juicy and wouldn't exactly call it like melts in your mouth but the flavour was awesome. For dessert I had the flan brulé which was AWESOME!!“

“From being greeted at the door. Until the time we departed. TCO’s crew did not do disappoint in any way. If you’re ever in the city, do yourself a favor and swing by.“

“We had the pleasure of eating at Log Haven on our last night in Salt Lake City. Log Haven, true to its name, was comfortable in the most high caliber way.

Upon arrival, we spoke with Ian, who recommended a wonderful red wine for the table. We then enjoyed a dinner of quail, bison, and elk while listening to the evening’s pianist. The atmosphere, food, and service made for a very memorable part of our visit to Utah.“

“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!!“

“Inventive, tasty menu, great ambience! Loved the lobster ravioli!“

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND! I was trying to find a restaurant that would be willing to accommodate a group of eight with outdoor seating for lunch with a confirmed reservation. My party included an 80 year old, and someone in a wheelchair. Accessibility and a limited wait was important. I was thrilled to learn the manager at Cucina was willing to put a reserved sign on one of the outdoor tables for us. When I arrived a few days later the majority of the tables had umbrellas set up but ours did not so I went inside to ask if they would be willing to set one up for us. Within earshot I heard who I assume to be the manager tell the nice young man at the register that our group does not get any “special treatment” (since they don’t typically take reservations per se). So completely rude and so irresponsible to say where I could hear it. The woman taking the orders at the counter was impatient, unhelpful and not necessarily kind or pleasant. Her responses to my aunts’ questions were snarky. The young man working the register was really nice. The food was pretty good. I will never visit this restaurant again and certainly wouldn’t plan a big family birthday lunch here again. Disappointed to say the least.“

“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“

“We had yet another delicious meal and fantastic experience at Franklin Ave last night. The design and decor are absolutely stunning, and the staff from the door person to the host to the servers and managers were all so friendly and knowledgeable. We started off with the chips and whipped feta, hamachi crudo, snap peas, and ribs. All were delicious in their own rite. For the main course, I had the pasta special which included handmade pappardelle noodles, duck, oyster mushrooms, and a spicy red sauce. Yum! The miso cod, bolognese, and fish sandwich were also ordered and everyone in our group was over the moon with their selections. For dessert we shared the maple pecan respado - a must try dessert! Cocktails were amazing per usual.“

“All natural based food, many healthy options also Vegetarian/Vegan options. Ideal for breakfast/Lunch“

“Great menu, diligent staff, and great crowd!“

“Joe & I celebrated our 41st Anniversary tonight at Table X in Salt Lake City. It was a 5 course dinner. Joe had wine with each course and I had non-alcoholic special drinks!!

Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to mushrooms. I sent a message to them since one of the courses has several types of mushrooms. They reworked the course and included several types of peppers and it was Amazing!!“

“Oquirrh is one of the top restaurants in The Valley. Order the sourdough bread if you want to sample Chef Drew's excellence for seven bucks. Then beg to buy a loaf...“

“They were friendly and nice.I“

“Have come twice now when we visit our daughter and fiancé who live here. Fantastic time. Food, service, atmosphere is amazing. 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 shrimp and grits are fantastic“

“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.“

“I like Vessel Kitchen and come here often. I am sad that their menu had such big changes. It definitely took a step backwards as the menu items were not as good. I had the re-hash and the steak was not good. My husband had the Baja Gold and it was dry. Willing to give them another try because normally it’s our go-to place. But this time is was a let down.“

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

“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!“

“Great service and staff..“

“Copper common is beautiful inside and has a decent patio.
Their burgers and smash potatoes are so, so good! I also really love the bread appetizer.
I had the lady eve cocktail and it was one of the best cocktails I've had in salt lake city!
Service is typically great but we had an instance where a wait staff member neglected our table after we got food to the point where we had to check out with the hostess after waiting 20-30 minutes for the wait staff member to return.
All in all copper common is a gem in SLC!“

“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).“

“Delicious healthy food! I love their Mac and cheese, sweet potato hash and roasted chicken“

“I was very impressed with this place. Had been driving past it for a while now and finally had a chance to get dinner. We ordered the enchiladas and the Mediterranean Chicken Kabob bowl and both were excellent. The flavors were incredible and everything was so fresh and healthy. The service was fast and friendly and the place was clean and decorated cute. We will definitely go back to try more, this may be my new favorite place for healthy and delicious food!

Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegan and gluten free options“

“Fantastic meal at Current this evening. We ordered the Caesar salad, the Crudo, mussels in broth, clams in broth, plus the crab cakes. Everything was fantastic and our server took care to have the plates come out slowly so we weren't overwhelmed with everything arriving all at once. It was my birthday tonight and the kind server said dessert was on the house if I was interested. I look forward to returning and trying the Caesar salad with salmon and my personal favorite, the fish stew.“

“I’m a sucker for J Dawgs. They have the best hotdogs I’ve had. They’re quick and filling.

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free buns for those of us with gluten intolerances. Their special sauce is also gluten and dairy free.“

“loved the food, service and decor“

“I usually stop in for take out, since I work in the mall. I stopped in today, and was helped by Anthony. He was very kind and made me feel very welcome, it really made a huge impact on the day I was having. ☀️✨

Vegetarian options: Good selection of vegetarian items, they’ve also been flexible with making dietary accommodations.“

“We wanted to find somewhere that had good looking cocktail choices. Luckily the Saturday we showed up it wasn't busy. We could talk to each other and enjoy each other's company. Around 10pm a DJ came and it got a little louder. The bar tender said usually it gets really busy so we were lucky this night it didn't. We had a couple really good drinks. One was created by the bar tender there, a riff on a New York Sour. So good. A couple random drinks on their list we wanted to try for fun. They serve food, a couple loud tables were there, but we didn't order anything. We would come again, early to hopefully beat the crowd. Feels upscale to other places in town.“

“Pros: simple, seasoned well, healthy for a burger, cooked in tallow, offer lettuce wraps, has a bar for toppings, veggies and sauce. Different flavored aiolis!

Cons: fries were not soggy but ever so slightly to be fair they’re cooked in tallow so perhaps that’s why it has the texture.

Would come back. I love that it’s located on the second floor of harmons and it great to view the grocery shopping floor.“

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

“The vegan street tacos were soooo good! Service was great! Spicy Cucumber Margarita yummmmm!“

“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.“

“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 :)“

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

“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“

“It's so great that the Front Climbing Gym has this integrated cafe! Great beer selection and the guac/tacos/chips are good. Smoothie's are good too! Plus it's awesome that you can watch the climbers while surfing the web.Note about the negative review below: it says on Rumsey's google card that's there's no takeout or delivery. Unfortunately that person got scammed by GrubHub which is notorious for adding restaurants without their consent. The cafe is on the third floor and you'd need to be already in the gym to go to it.“

“The food was delicious, friendly host and waiters!“

“I stopped by last night before the play.
My server Conor suggested the Poached Halibut and I had to try the Salted Caramel Pudding. Both were fantastic and perfectly accompanied by Conor’s great service. I will be back, and I will be requesting Conor.“

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

“Just great. They have a $6 Beer AND Shot. What?!? Amazing. It's cheap beer and awful liquor, but dang! What a away to start the night! You can get going with this, and then buy the good stuff to maintain. You can't beat the service either. Just great people altogether.“

“The front desk and price may put off the air of higher dining, but we found the staff to be very personable and accommodating. We ordered two starters and an entree to share. It was all amazing, and they split the entree between two plates without us even asking. ?“

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

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

“Was visiting in town and wanted a fun place to get drinks before a concert and found the tipsy flamingo online. The drinks came in fun displays and cups and were delicious. Would definitely recommend to anyone and if we are in town we will definitely be back for a visit!“

“Amazing experience. They are doing renovations on some floors but overall great experience“

“Ok, this place has delicious food & friendly people, but I hate how expensive it is. It’s good food, the restaurant is clean & well lit. The workers are kind & friendly. It’s just every time I eat here I feel like a sucker. It’s good food but very over priced.“

“Having spent 2 weeks on the National Parks circuit, we are spending 2 nights in Salt Lake City before flying home. We selected this restaurant and boy were we lucky. We dined early and Ryan made 3 recommendations which we thoroughly enjoyed. Everything was top notch!“

“We were fortunate enough rent out Nona to have our wedding reception, and we're so happy we did! The atmosphere is perfect, especially in the late summer and early fall. The servers and bartenders were absolutely amazing and were incredibly patient with such a large group. As always, the food and cocktails are amazing. Whether you're having date night or a large group, they exceeded our expectations. Thank you!!“
