Slc Eatery

Excellent, creative menu. The appetizers for us were the star - fresh, flavorful and inspired. Each thing we tried was followed by, ‘Never had anything like that before!’ Service was very good - attentive but unobtrusive. Nice wine list with several wines by the glass. A handful of specialty cocktails. Cool, comfortable space. Very highly recommended.

LOVED my first SLC experience. The wait staff were very attentive- with the perfect balance. The scone was melt in your mouth with an almost- southern pimento spread to go with it. The calamari were light and citrusy. I didn’t get pictures of the main course, but desert was beautiful and had fun textures and flavors. 5/5 stars for sure

Portlander visiting SLC Eatery by way of local recommendation! I'm a major foodie and I was looking for a brunch spot during my visit. This place did not disappoint! Except the seating layout options could be optimized. In my reservation, I specifically requested to NOT be sat by the kitchen, and yet... The hostess takes us to a table adjacent to the kitchen. Had My reservation been for even an hour later in the day where the restaurant was completely full, I wouldn't have been able to switch tables. Thus, likely putting a sour taste in my experience there. (I just don't like to sit near kitchens, they are loud, it's not an unreasonable or uncommon request). More cozy chairs would be an idea! The menu was fire. No complaints there.

(BRUNCH REVIEW BELOW, MUCH BETTER) I'm going to give this place 3 stars. I hear their brunch is better, so we will have to try that out, but our dinner experience wasn't exemplary by any means. The ambience of the restaurant is SUPERB. Love the indoor seating, but the outdoor seating is so pleasant and relaxing, you definitely sit outside if you have the option. This restaurant is unique in that they offer a table side preview on a cart of their items on the cart menu. So they swing by and show you what the dish looks like before ordering. We ordered the fried avacado, the meatballs, and the french onion dip. My husband loved the dip, while the avacado and the meatballs were not our favorite. They were good, but we didn't care for the pairing of the main item to the sauces within them. Oysters- Everyone loved these. My friend had the beet salad and she loves beets (obviously) but was really disappointed with the flavor of this. We all ordered the burger and the chicken milanese. My husband said the burger was excellent. I had the chicken. I didn't realize it was fried, so that's my bad, but it was REALLY fried. Very hard on the outside, and the fried part would just fall off of the chicken itself. It took away a lot of flavor, but the sauce it came with seemed to be a similar sauce to the fried avacado, and somewhat similar to the meatballs. I was very confused at that. The polenta was delicious, but wasn't my favorite when mixed with the sauce of the chicken. For drinks, the purple drank and the ny sour were ordered, and they were very strong and not enjoyed, unfortunately. -------- Update for Brunch Loved our brunch experience here! Such a different experience than the dinner one we had awhile ago. Their flavors were spot on and we're creative and delicious. I got the tostada, with eggs and black beans, etc. It was so tasty! And my friend got the eggs Benedict and they were also incredible. She got the bloody Mary and it came with a slice of bacon, how brilliant! I got the Aeperol Spritz, which I loved. The Utah scones were so dense, in the best of ways ❤️

Great food. Very creative and tasty dishes. The menu changes quite a bit so there is quite a bit of variety. Excellent drinks. Love the vegetarian options. Very attentive staff. Since finding this place we have been there quite a bit. I would say every now and then we have a dish that's not quite perfect but that's more the exception- the variety and overall dining experience are worth it. I initially thought the cart option was quirky but now I wish it was everywhere.
