    The food was mediocre The salad that comes with the dinner was warm wilted lettuce Something I’ve never experienced I asked to try a wine before ordering a glass and was charged $2 to sip it I think you can find somewhere else in Salt Lake to eat

    Hello Pat, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. As a family-owned and operated independent restaurant, we take all feedback seriously. Unfortunately we can't offer a free taste of wine in accordance with Utah liquor laws. Cheers!

    We enjoyed our food and the ambience. We have dined here before. The service was very rushed. They were not trying to turn the table. There were many empty tables and no one waiting to be seated. My wife only ate a bite of bread with her salad and planned to eat more with her main course but the waiter tried to remove the bread with late with bread on it shortly after serving it. We were only midway through our main course when the server asked if we wanted dessert. I told him we would decide after we finished the course he had just served. He brought our check while my wife was still eating. They weren’t closing so I don’t know why he was in such a big hurry. Very unprofessional.

    The food was well prepared and very flavorful. Our waitress was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was very impressed that despite a large group having a celebration the kitchen managed that with ease and everyone was served in a timely and attentive manner. The bread pudding dessert was unusual with its use of cherries and dark chocolate. Highly recommended. The rolled chicken was a standout. The chicken was moist and every bite was an explosion of well balanced flavors.

    Better than I remembered. Had gnocchi with spicy sausage. Appetizer was small scallops with a kind of lemoncello sauce. Service was good and friendly. All in a cool building.
