“We found this wonderful place for dinner and while it is a bit out of the downtown , it was easy to find this charming restaurant in a quiet neighborhood. We shared artisinal bread with 2 butters, a beet salad with a hummus dressing and one glass of maybe, and one glass of frozen rose (sweet & very cold).I had crab cakes that were divine and while it comes with very spicy sauce and cucumber slaw (also very spicy) I prefer to taste my food without sauce unless it is needed but in this case, they were wonderful just plain My husband had the chicken confit which was a dark meat quarter and a wing in a piquant sauce with vegetables. The only comments we had were based on our personal preferences- a bit less dressing on the salad and on the chicken .but that is personal preferences. The staff and service was terrific and friendly and wonderful! We loved our meals and wished we had room for dessert but no possible . High-quality food and service!”

“I’ve only ever been in for breakfast and lunch so I can’t speak for dinners but the sandwiches during lunchtime are amazing. The Tuscan Grilled Chicken sandwich is my favorite. Everything tastes so fresh and you can tell they use high quality ingredients. The staff is also really friendly and always makes coming in a fun treat.”

“We had an absolutely wonderful evening here! We were a party of 12, there for a family celebration. The atmosphere is inviting, and relaxing. Simple, but elegant. We started off with incredible appetizers. The flavor of the oysters were amazing, coming from someone that is hesitant about oysters in general. The Ahi Tartare was full of flavor, the crab cakes amazing, the falafel, the flavor surprised me, but definitely liked it! We did have 3 small children with us, the menu is absolutely geared towards adults (understandably for the vibe they are going for, no kids menu/options) BUT the chef was incredible and was able to offer a child friendly cheese pizza that my children devoured! My husband ordered the Lamb burger that was so full of flavor and was absolutely delicious! As for myself I ordered the Flat Iron Steak, also very well cooked and the flavor was wonderful, but I would of loved some more flavor (personal opinion tho) The waitress was knowledgeable of the menu, friendly and did great with our party size. She was also great at making wine suggestions for those that were wanting it. We didn’t get dessert and I’m regretting it haha. The owner Dean was very kind and we enjoyed talking with him! The menu is limited, but there wasn’t a single thing on there that didn’t look amazing.”

“First time trying this restaurant and we will be back! Highly recommend the steak and seared tuna, as well as a side of shot string fries. So much flavor in every bite. Service was excellent and ambiance just loud enough so you wouldn’t be cumbersome by other conversations. Excellent dinner spot!”

“One of the best meals I’ve had in Salt Lake City! Loved the baby red oak salad, crab cakes and spinach gnocchi. The weeknight $17 wine flight is a great deal. Definitely will come back to try everything!”
