"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
"Named after the mountain range west of Salt Lake City, Oquirrh offers American fare in an intimate space. Run by chef Andrew Fuller, a 2023 James Beard semifinalist, and his wife Angelena, who manages the front of house, the restaurant infuses a personal touch into each dining experience. The menu, which frequently changes to showcase fresh ingredients, includes house-made pastas like rigatoni with fennel-chile flake sausage, a succulent Niman Ranch pork chop with supplemental Burgundy black truffle shavings, and signature milk-braised potatoes with curds and a whey vinaigrette. Reflecting a commitment to the community, the walls are adorned with local art, often available for purchase." - Sarah Entwistle

But we’re here to say that the food at Oquirrh can measure up to any dinner in Salt Lake City.

"A low-key neighborhood spot known for seasonal, inventive dishes; a roasted cabbage steak arrives on a cloud of turmeric ricotta and is roasted until tender, topped with a chaotic, delightful mix of fermented fennel, burstable pickled mustard seed pearls, and a crunchy caraway crumb that evokes reuben-like notes. The combination of soft, savory, and poppy textures makes this vegetable preparation unexpectedly craveable." - ByElazar Sontag
"For dinner, visit Andrew and Angelena Fuller’s homey restaurant Oquirrh."
