The Roof Restaurant

What a great first impression of Salt Lake City! WOW, these people do not mess around when it comes to food, service and architecture. All of the food was fantastic and they had a great selection. The desserts were drool worthy. I ate so much that I almost felt a little sick by the time we were finished. The view was incredible! The servers were also very efficient and friendly. Would've been great to have a glass of wine with this meal, but I respect their customs.

We really love the views, and try to make it up here during the holidays, when you reserve your table, you can ask for something by the window, then you can get something that looks down on the lights. Great live entertainment with the piano too! The food is delicious, but with big parties coming in during the holidays, lines can form pretty quickly, which kind of detracts from the upscale atmosphere for me.

This is a classy restaurant with gorgeous views of Salt Lake City‘s Temple Square. It is a buffet extraordinaire! This night there was prime rib and King crab claws and vegetables and other entrées and sides with fancy ingredients including a gourmet mac & cheese. The decadent desserts were presented in small portions so that you could sample several of them.

We went as a family to The Roof. There were 3 things that stood out. 1. The view is amazing. Especially at night, you get a beautiful view of the nearby Temple square and the expanse of the city lights. 2. They have a live pianist who was playing beautiful music the entire night. She is very talented. 3. Many different choices of food. They had a salad bar, entree options, shrimp, crab legs, a fruit bar, and a dessert bar. It was pretty busy and it was kind of a let down that some guest brought their kids in pajamas who were running around and screaming. That is not the restaurants fault though. That is on the parents. The service was quick and attentive. Our waiter was constantly refilling our drinks without us asking and the bread rolls with honey butter were an amazing way to start off the dinner. The only real downside is that a lot of the food was not exactly on par with what I would expect for the price. I would expect a little higher quality. A lot of the food was dry, and the lettuce in the salad bar was wilted.

The food was very delicious. Everything was very flavorful. I’ve been here several times for the old chef and now the new chef. I don’t understand why people downgrade this food. If anything I felt there are more gluten free options than before which I appreciate since I’m gluten intolerant. Everything was fresh, the servers we had were very friendly and of course the view was stunning at sunset. I would highly suggest eating here, just make sure to pace yourself since it’s a buffet.

Superb food, and even better service! I've been here a handful of times, and have immensely enjoyed it every time. The pricing is about $40ish a person, but they serve incredible food in a BUFFET. So you easily get your money's worth with the quality and quantity of food. My favorite part is the dessert buffet! Super tasty, and the views are absolutely amazing. Perfect for special occasions or just for fun.
