“SOOO GOOD! Definitely a five star experience.“

“Found this place for last minute business dinner. Unique cocktails, amazing small plates. Brussels and Truffle fries didn’t disappoint. Entrees were fresh and well composed. My only knock was our server that wasn’t that personable and didn’t provide any recommendations.“

“So good! Service was great, atmosphere was good. We went on a Friday and they had a live DJ, he played great music but his little too loud. Menu was great! We had the bone marrow tacos, bread basket, sea bass and the whiskey ribs. Everything was amazing! The ribs were just okay. Fish wash so good! We will definitely go back and try different things off the menu! It was a busy night Siri upfront door kept opening and closing, which made it a little chilly inside.“

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

“Came here on a quiet Sunday night to grab a quick appetizer and drink before dinner, and was totally surprised by the excellent cocktail selection and getting to chat with CaCasey behind the bar.
Absolutely recommend the charcuterie and any of their Old Fashioned variations (the White Sails was particularly tasty!). Couldn't recommend this place more!“

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

“Me and my sister came here yes at 5pm on a Thursday lol. It is such a cute place. I tried an espresso martini for the first time here and it was delicious. I also had the peach martini and that tasted like a peach ring. Such a nice place and I'm definitely coming back. :)“

“This is the BEST steakhouse in the Salt Lake Valley. The steaks melt like butter in your mouth and the service is outstanding. This is now our go to steakhouse !!“

“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!“

“My first visit was today with a group of retired friends. I had the mac n cheese. Very favorful, a little crisp on the top, almost like what my mom used to make.“

“Great service and great great food and drinks. Loved it.“

“My server,Ryan, was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations that perfectly suited my taste. The restaurant clearly understands the urgency of an order to be made quickly. My large order came to my table within 3 minutes of ordering.
Thank you so much for making my layover in Salt Lake City a wonderful one.“

“Didn’t try any food while I was here wish I did but was busy going other places in the moment. Great place to start your night out or even end the night out if you’re looking for somewhere to play some pool or even just grab the last beer“

“Early eve, Thursday, local crowd slim to moderate...Bring your own friends. Missing opportunities to engage...Minimalist chairs and tables...Was here once before with a group and will be back for another go but vibe was missing and server was all business...one beer was enough...“

“We did the Omakase dinner and it was one of the coolest dinners I’ve ever done. The food was great. The ambiance and company was amazing! I made friends and Corgi out waiter was amazing. He explained every dish then took time to hear our feedback after each one. If you’re coming here I highly recommend the hand rolls. I’ve never had these at any other Japanese restaurant in Utah and it definitely sets this place apart! We will be back! Shoutout again to Corgi!!!“

“I recently dined at Adelaide, and while the food was just okay, the service and atmosphere made it a memorable experience. Our server, Andrea, was exceptional—kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. She made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The atmosphere was lovely, with a warm and inviting vibe that set a relaxing tone for the evening.

We ordered the white fish and the shrimp bisque, which were fine but didn’t quite hit the spot for us. However, Andrea’s outstanding service and the ambiance left such a positive impression that I’d happily return to try something else on the menu. Thanks to Andrea and the welcoming environment, this restaurant still has a lot of appeal!“

“Excelente lugar lo mejor en la. Ciudad“

“I recently visited La Cevicheria in Salt Lake City, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! If you're a fan of fresh, delicious ceviche, this is the place to go. The flavors were perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of tanginess and spice. Every bite tasted incredibly fresh, and the portion sizes were generous.

The service was also top-notch. Our waiter, Jordan, was awesome—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. He made sure we were well taken care of and even gave us great recommendations on the menu. His enthusiasm added to the overall vibe of the place.

I highly recommend La Cevicheria for anyone in the mood for authentic, fresh seafood with excellent service. Definitely coming back!“

“Great food, but turn the loud music down!! very annoying.“

“Love this beautiful place“

“This was my first time at Libertango - recommended by a friend. We had a wonderful experience, from everyone being so kind, helping us celebrate our anniversary, but also delicious food - the provoleta was to die for, the passion fruit caipirinha. Their kindness was exceptional! Highly recommend if you want to eat good food, and feel special.“

“X wives. It’s a great place and I highly recommend it especially if you’re looking for a “Dive bar” has 5 pool tables plus a nice bar/dining area. I mean this place is goated in my opinion they’ve been in business for over 50+ years? There has to be something they’re doing right. For me it’s their customer service, the bartender with glasses and a nice stache is super honest and friendly, best part of their service is honesty and clarity. I recommend this place a whole lot! Love this place.“

“A funky little bar tucked away on Edison St. with a relaxed, cozy, intimate atmosphere. A great place to chill with some friends or someone special. You can order food from Laziz Kitchen (Modern Mediterranean). It's in the heart of a vibrant area between 200 S and 300 S that is expanding with bars, restaurants, cafes, etc.“

“Drinks seemed average for cast, but great staff and vibe. With the size, I'd expect it fills fast. But wasn't too crowded on a Monday. Vibe comes with loud early-2000's music on the interior and quieter outdoor seating areas.“

“The ricotta & lavender jam was amazing as well as the bourbon caramel bread pudding. Of course the drinks were phenomenal. The atmosphere is so fun and unique. Our server Jackson was the BEST server I have ever had. He was great with recommendations on menu items and very personable. We were celebrating my friends birthday and Jackson made it very memorable. I am looking forward to coming back.“

“Reading the negative reviews tells me everything I need to know about the reviewers. One of the coolest people I know, told me to go here. All I can say after reading the negative reviews: leave your attitude at the door, bring some cash (there’s an ATM in back), show your ID when you first enter, have some self effacing humor (you’re in a local watering hole, buy the locals a round (Happy 77th Birthday Grizzly) and enjoy your time here by not being an entitled jerk. Shout out to the Bartender & people in back, enjoying role-playing games. Oh yeah, it gets busy at night, have some patience.“

“100% RECOMMEND! This is our favorite place to eat in PSL! The food is unique and fresh, the restaurant and bathrooms are clean, and the customer service is the best! Once you’ve been there a couple of times they remember you and pretty much know what your “usual” is. Dennis, the owner, has been there a few times when we were there and he always comes over to say “thank you for coming in.” He even covered our bill one time when he found out we are Veterans. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ZEST KITCHEN!“

“Went to lunch at Taqueria 27 and ordered the Duo Platter and it was AMAZING! Brunch here is also the best. Highly recommend eating here!“

“It's laid back and relaxed. It's not it has wonderful large booths for parties up to 6. It's not too loud so you can enjoy the conversation with your friends. Great food. Everyone is very friendly and helpful if you have questions. I would recommend it!“

“The food was delicious… I will be back possibly tomorrow for lunch. Highly recommend. Great atmosphere. Our waiter Ehsan was great as well.“

“Fun atmosphere, light crowd, delicious drinks and food! The surf and turf was divine ❤️“

“For a hotel bar, this is the most pristine I’ve seen in a while. I love a gin type of drink and I simply asked for that and our bartender (I wish I remembered his name but I believe he was Serbian) made me one of the best gin forward drinks I’ve ever had in the US. The drinks in general here are pretty well balanced too.

Had some of the duck confits too, not bad at all from the kitchen. But would return solely for the drinks.“

“Definitely our go to for brunch, especially when we have friends visiting from out of town. Such a fun and hip atmosphere. Their beignets are to die for.“

“First time at Pizza Volta, came in with a group of nine last night. Fabulous experience! Cocktails were so good, pizza was even better! Tried several different varieties of both. Our server Brandon made the experience all the more fun. We will be back!“

“From the moment you walk in and see the stunning 18-foot bar, you know you’re in for something special. The experience starts with a warm welcome from Josie at the host stand—helpful, kind, and the perfect kickoff to a great afternoon. Even during the day, Lake Effect radiates style, flavor, and exceptional vibes.

The live music from the Will Baxter Band added a vibrant touch—easygoing, soulful, and just right for a daytime groove. It set the tone without overwhelming the relaxed, laid-back atmosphere.

The food? Fantastic. Fresh, flavorful, and plated with care. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch or indulging in a longer sit-down meal, every dish delivers.

And let’s talk about the service. Chloee brought a wonderful blend of wit, spunk, and attentiveness that made us feel completely cared for. It would be wise to request her. Huge kudos to JR as well—on his first day and already shining with enthusiasm and charm.

Lake Effect during the day still brings the magic. It’s not just a restaurant or bar—it’s an experience, any time you go.“

“Was pretty good, loved the verde sauce and atmospheric grit. Was at the Hollywood Heritage Museum book sale today and saw the original vintage photos of the place. Very cool!“

“We love the Rio Grande we go there a lot before Gymnastics and other things at the U.“

“What an amazing little bar. Just a stones throw from Flankers, my favorite bar & grill in America.

Kelley is amazing and so is Ethan and Hannah is wonderful too. I’m sure there are other people and that they are wonderful too.

Only complaint is that there was a frozen hamburger outside.

(Updated)
I went back and talked to the manager, it was a hot n’ spicy mcckicken, not a hamburger. Anyway, they were out of banana pudding when I went. Weird. I don’t think they even have it. Super weird.“

“Great food! Attentive service. Great location!“

“Buen lugar para comer mi favorita la sopa marinera“

“Authentic Italian home family style savory meals. Great service.“

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