"There are plenty of parallels between Oquirrh, the restaurant, and the mountains of the same name. The west side Oquirrh range often gets overlooked for the bigger, snowier Wasatch range in the east, and similarly, this small restaurant in a former diner space isn’t as flashy as other spots in town. Even still, Oquirrh is our top pick for a date night or special occasion dinner in Salt Lake City. While much of the menu is seasonal, the milk-braised potatoes, cooked until the milk turns into creamy curds, are always available and always good. Don’t sleep on the confit chicken pot pie made with a puff pastry crust, especially on cold winter nights." - Jenny Willden
