The drinks are incredible, unique and very creative. The food is fantastic as well.

It was a little dead the evening I went but staff was amazing and attentive! The tuna papadum small bite was FIRE! The skewer I had was a little bland but they gave me their in house chili oil and it was FIRE! Definitely want to go back to try more food.

Forgot to take photos I was too busy eating, drinking, laughing, and licking my fingers.
No clue how I haven’t tried this spot before now. It was spectacular. The “Asian fusion” was so spot on. I was full but made myself make room because everything was so ridiculously delicious.
It’s a smaller place, so if you’re lucky enough to get a spot, or you think ahead and make a reservation, you HAVE to make it count.
I’ve eaten foods from various cuisines my entire life and this is one spot I am tempted to gate-keep just to make sure I can always get in! (Don’t worry, I won’t.)
The butter chicken wings were such a surprise. They were hot and stayed hot, right amount of spice, amazing flavor, and the skin stayed so crispy! I thought I made the best Brussels sprouts, but theirs blew me out of the water. We tried so many other plates I can’t even keep them straight. But each one made my tummy feel so cozy and happy without making me feel heavy or greasy.
Even if it’s hot outside, don’t skip the dumplings. They will make you feel like you’re a little kid again, home “sick” from school, watching the price is right with your grandma. They are so comforting you’ll want to cry even if you’re not emotional.
Same goes for their homemade Chicharrones, the scallop and pork belly skewers, their house made pickled veggies, any of the sliders, and their desserts that all taste like someone has been in the kitchen all day preparing them perfectly with love.
I wish I had photos to share, everything was just too delicious to You can’t really go wrong with Lake Effect. No matter the day or time, if they’re open you’ll be taken care of. Even their “late night” menu is well prepared and delicious. (I’ll admit I would pay big money to have one of their amazing charcuterie boards on the late night menu…but I’ll survive.) It’s such a cozy feeling place even on the days it’s packed and busy. You can find the right vibe for your needs anywhere.

This was one of the best food and cocktail experiences I've had. I highly recommend Post Office Place. April, is amazing!

I've had drinks here waiting on seating at the restaurant next door but hadn't had the food. Tonight I tried the katsu slider and the thai tuna device. Both were fantastic! I haven't had a bad drink here either. All the cocktails are delicious. Admittedly I avoid things I'm sure I'm not going to like so I'm sure there's a few that I may not like but that's just personal preference. The ambiance is clean and relaxed. Service has always been great. I'll be back before I leave town and will be back next time I'm in town.

Our favorite restaurant in Salt Lake. The uniqueness of the food and flavors is something you find in big cities. We eat here way more often than Takashi even though it’s usually used as overflow for Takashi guests. The scotch egg, sea witch cocktail, and mushroom ceviche are all time favorites. It’s weirdly affordable for being top tier.

I sat at the bar with my book for a date night with myself while on vacation. I ordered some small plates and a few cocktails. The cocktails were unreal! I got the apres ki no bi and the Jo March. Truly so well crafted. Service was quick, and the vibes were fantastic. Will def come back next time I’m in town!

The food was very hit or miss. About 50% of the dishes were objectively bad—they were not underwhelming they were actually undesirable to eat.
The Thai beef jerky was the worst. It was burnt to a crisp, the fact that they served that is telling of how the kitchen operates. Also, stylistically it was nothing like Thai jerky. The flavor was wrong and why was it charred? The octopus was about just as bad-so tough you didn’t want to eat it, and the sauce it came in tasted like it came from a can. It was a very poorly executed Mediterranean dish. The pickles were fine but they were served with nothing, like what restaurant just serves a literal jar of pickles.
The crudos and fried Brussels sprouts were solid, would recommend. The tuna tartare was just ok. The martini was good.
Unfortunately, one of the worst meals I’ve had in a long time and it was pretty pricey. Won’t be going back any time soon. The kitchen management is a disaster.

Bartender made a good drink, was non communicative beyond asking us for our order

The food is inventive and delicious. The cocktails are carefully crafted by hand and very fun. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is chill and relaxing.
Food was OK but overpriced. Service was great and staff was very friendly.

I've been here twice now, with two different menus, and the cocktails knock it out of the park every time. Clearly, a lot of thought goes into the menu, and each drink has been objectively and subjectively excellent. Highly recommend!

Some of the best food in SLC. The plates are expensive but so unique and tasty. The cocktails were incredibly different. It’s a good crowd favorite amongst friends.
