If you want a quick overview of this week’s dining reviews in Salt Lake City, head on over to Gastronomic Salt Lake City.
Step into the Bohemian Brewery’s log-cabin style restaurant, and you make think you’ve entered Willy Wonka’s version of Oktoberfest. However, even Wonka himself couldn’t have made this delicious of comfort food.
Sometimes being adventurous works out. Other times the $4 bottle of wine bites back.
We’ve heard that breakfast is great at The Sun and Moon Cafe. We went for dinner and tried their upscale menu. It wasn’t worth the trip. To save you time, here’s the summary: food is average, beer and wine are good, and the service is horrendous.
We stumbled on Baxter’s American Restaurant during its first week in operation. While that’s usually a recipe for disaster, this restaurant represents what Salt Lake City needs more of; a warm and cosy space, staffed by competent and friendly people, with basic but outstanding food.
Step into Em’s Restaurant and suddenly you feel like you are in a quaint neighborhood cafe in Chicago or New York. Em’s is a pretty seashell in an ocean of TGI Friday’s and Cheesecake Factories.
I really wanted to like Tandoor Indian Grill. I love Indian food and am desperately trying to find another establishment to put into my dinner rotation. Overall the experience was OK, but it really didn’t compare to Bombay House.
We are suckers for white wine from New Zealand. With that in mind, we are always looking for new sauvignon blancs from the Marlborough region of New Zealand. These wines are typically very crisp and have tasted of grapefruit, gooseberry, apple, and pineapple. It’s a wine pretty much anyone would like, which makes it a great holiday choice.
