OMG. Do NOT even THINK of leaving Salt Lake City without a visit here! I've been here for lunch twice and it is outstanding. Their burger is off the hook, the corn bisque TDF, & grilled cheese YUMMY!

Ken

Loved the duck toast and crab peppers . Choose the venison and the salmon entrees, both of which were delish. The turtle ice cream was delish too!

C Craig

The deep fried french toast is fantastic, and the eggs benedict with bacon is delicious (it’s shoulder bacon , which has a nice flavor). Portions look a little small, but end up being just right.

Excellent food! Loved the beet salad , short rib stuffed ravioli , corn bisque and herbed frittes. Waitress even put portions separate when we shared dishes.

Blue cheese chips and crab stuffed peppers for Smalls and Scallops for entree.

Branzino was great. Served over roasted potatoes and mushrooms . I had the corn bisque - very good and the deviled eggs , also good.

Cabernet braised Angus beef short ribs that fall off the bone and are served on top of a to-die-for truffled macaroni and cheese . Cornished hens . Beet salad . Delish!

Grilled coffee rubbed lamb was very good but coffee flavor overpowered the lamb

Red trout wrapped in prosciutto was different but the prosciutto overpowered the trout

Try the Pork Duo - Wow! Bacon wrapped pork tenderloin and balsamic glazed ribs with seared chard and cheddar-green chili grits

Great dinner - They did a great job with special requests (my wife's birthday). Highly recommended.

Brisket toast was very good but heavy as a starter

Croque Madame . Try it. It's like breakfast in sandwich form and you get crispy French fries .
