Oquirrh Restaurant

Oquirrh absolutely nailed it. I ordered the duck and the steak au poivre (medium rare), and both dishes were cooked to perfection — exactly as expected. The flavors were incredibly rich and well-balanced, and the presentation was just as impressive. The setting was comfortable and elevated without being pretentious, and the service was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the evening. You can tell there’s a lot of pride in what they do here. This place is a gem in Salt Lake City — I’ll definitely be coming back.

We visited a few days ago, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic! The food was truly amazing. We tried the Steamed Clams and the House Made Rigatoni Pasta, both of which were exquisite. For dessert, we ordered a delightful chocolate cookie cake that looked stunning on the plate. The service was great! My son ordered sparkling water, which came with a fun blue twist. Every dish was absolutely delicious, and we’re already looking forward to returning to explore more of the menu! Thank you Oquirrh!

Very good food, very good service, and good atmosphere (due to being relatively small and thus not massively noisy). It was busy on a Friday night, with all tables full by 7 PM, although we started dinner at 530 PM when we were the first to arrive. I am giving 5 stars to support this local restaurant, which is very good compared to other offerings in Salt Lake City. Obviously, everything is relative, and there are no Michelin-star restaurants in Salt Lake City, so this 5-star rating is compared to the other available restaurants in SLC. Highly recommend to try this place if you are already in SLC. The price is somewhat high, but worth it at this level of quality. Last thing is that their non-alcoholic drink offering is the best I have found in SLC, with a cooler full of such drinks, along with non-alcoholic spirits enabling them to serve their cocktails as mocktails. The whiskey mocktail versions were great, and I really appreciate their effort on this!

If you were going to eat at one restaurant in Salt Lake City, this is the one! The restaurant is small, so plan ahead if you are a group. If there are just one or two of you, you are likely to have a chance to get a seat at the bar. This is how I was lucky enough to eat at this fantastic restaurant, even though I had tried to make reservations for a group before I flew into the city. They have a small list of specialty cocktails, and the chamomile whiskey cocktail was declared to be excellent. I had a glass of the gin from Utah- a very nice light flavor and not at all hot. I started with their house specialty salad. Every ingredient was fresh, and the combination of the crunchy buckwheat and toasted sunflower seeds with the fresh lettuces and the bright vinaigrette was absolutely perfect. Best salad I've had in a long time. I would go back there just to eat that salad. Because it is springtime, I opted for their house made radiatori pasta. It had asparagus, fresh peas, parmesan cream, chili flakes, pine nuts, and a topping of a lemon ricotta. The pasta was also lightly green, so it must have had spinach or some other green in the pasta dough. This pasta dish was scrumptious!! Wow! It is the essence of spring in a pasta. They make their own pasta, so that makes it particularly special. I did notice that a lot of people were getting the fish of the day, so I assume it is excellent. I may try to go back tonight because I'd like to try the fish and the other salad which sounded funky. I also got to meet the chef, who came out to chat twice. I love that. It makes you feel special! They had two desserts. I opted for the creamy citrus tart with the blood orange sorbet. Perfect. The pastry case was still crispy, and the topping of the light, citrusy filling was divine! The food here is absolutely delicious. The staff is wonderful, and the atmosphere is serene. This is the equal to some of the best restaurants in which I have eaten. That is really saying something, because I have eaten in some mighty fine places! If you can, please dine here. You will not be disappointed!!!

Top restaurant in Salt Lake City with local farm to table inspired seasonal menu. First visit and I will be back. Team is friendly, warm, and knowledgeable — loved the explanation of the menu. Simply delicious!

Can't get better than this in SLC! My favorite place. Welcoming staff and owners. Excellent, creative and varied food and drinks. Bring a friend so you can share a few of their small plates. I always get the bread with salted butter and radishes. If the smoked cabbage is on the menu, get that. House made pasta is 🔥 Highly suggest getting the hangover pasta at brunch and enjoying coffee in one of their funky mugs

I chose to eat here after reading about it on Eater’s list of best places to eat in SLC. The staff was great and the food was fantastic. The tempura maitake appetizer is a must. The only thing that I wasn’t crazy about was the sourdough appetizer. I am not an expert on sourdough but I found it to be quite dense. It didn’t take away from the dinner and everything else was amazing.

We went here for my birthday dinner. The chicken and the potatoes were phenomenal. Those potatoes melt in your mouth and with their home made ricotta cheese it was so creamy. The chicken breast was very well balanced especially with the polenta. The scallops were good but against the other two it felt like it was lacking. We will come back to try their home made pasta. The service 10/10. So attentive and made great recommendations

Soooo good! Really, really enjoyed brunch at Oquiirh. The Eggs Benedict was perfec and enjoyed the Bread Pudding French Toast and Sourdough toast. The cocktails were great! The service was great and overall loved the vibe! Will definitely be back! Can't wait to sample the rest of the menu.

Oquirrh is a Farm To Table New American concept, offering a seasonal menu of small plates. The interior is casual; the kind of place you can come for a date night, but wear jeans. They have a great wine list, and our server was knowledge of the menu. The food was hit and miss. I am usually adverse to paying for bread and butter at a restaurant, but the sourdough with butter and sea salt is worth the $7 here. We also loved the Oquirrh Salad, whose greens were incredibly fresh, enhanced by a sunflower seed vinaigrette. The Milk Braised Potatoes were good, but the ingredients were not better than the sum of their parts. My husband was underwhelmed by the quality of the Wagyu Flank Steak. My friend got the Market Fish, which was served with cold eggplant that tasted like straight up fish sauce. The worst dish happened to be the most the expensive. We added 10 grams of Australian black truffle to the House Made Spaghetti Pasta ($58), and while I'm sure the noodles were high quality, it was so over salted that it hurt the inside of my mouth. Fortunately, we ended on a great note with a watermelon dessert which featured the fruit in many forms: fresh, as a sorbet, and dried/candied with tajin. 10/10 dessert.

Good experience, amazing pasta! I was walking around downtown SLC and this place stood out for some reason. I looked at the menu and made a mental note for later. Later that night we were ready for dinner and I checked for reservations. It was all booked. We walked in and got seated at the bar. The space is small and intimate. I wouldn't call it romantic. But it's close. Definitely suitable for a date. But not super sexy or anything. Cozy and intimate are good words to describe. Service was friendly and prompt. I don't normally drink cab sav but it was one of the few reds they had by the glass so I got that. It was good. Tasted good and no ill after effects which I can have with some wines. We had a cheese plate and chickory salad as starters. Cheese was good but nothing special. I'd probably skip it next time for the price. The toast points it came with were fantastic. Good honey too. But just a bit plain for my money. Nothing here is cheap. I ordered the chicken pot pie. It was fine, but nothing amazing. I probably would not order it again just because it was nothing special. I mean it was delicious. But so are most chicken pot pies. This was just standard tasting, but with fresh quality ingredients which I do appreciate. Just, for the price, I'll get something different next time. My friend ordered Canestri pasta. It was absolutely amazing. Simple, delicious Italian pasta. Pecorino and proper seasoning. Addictive delicious. Highly recommend. This pasta was memorable enough to make this place worth a visit. EDIT: this pasta really was so good. If I had only gotten the pasta this would be a six star review. Edited to add that it had mushrooms. I forgot but that's what made it so yummy. It was just perfection. Maybe cremini? I don't remember. But if you're in downtown slc i highly recommend finding time to taste this pasta. It does not get any better. Ok, back to the original review: I started at five stars. But after writing the full review I think that is a bit unfair. For the price, expectations are high. The pasta met the mark for sure. A very solid 4 stars. I'd eat there again, but would probably skip apps and stick with staples like the pasta. Service was very friendly and we had a great time. No complaints. Very good, but not great.

The food was fabulous! The service and atmosphere never disappoint! Reservations should be made as they stay busy! Do not forget to have dessert - highly recommend the millionaire pie with ice cream.

TLDR: Oquirrh is a must-visit restaurant that blew us away with every dish. Highlights included the perfectly balanced Oquirrh Salad, the life-changing milk-braised potatoes, and the best "mac and cheese" ever (the wild mushroom Canestri pasta). They accommodated my wife's celiac beautifully, and their zero-waste philosophy adds even more to their charm and, incedently, the flavor profiles of their dishes by reusing byproducts from other dishes/components. Incredible flavors, enjoyable service, and sustainability make this a new favorite for date nights and hosting. 5 stars, no doubt. Last night, my wife and I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Oquirrh, and I can confidently say it's a restaurant we'll continue to frequently visit for a long time. Every dish was an experience, combining bold flavors, thoughtful textures, and an inspiring commitment to sustainability. Here's the breakdown of our incredible meal: A great way to start is with the Oquirrh salad. The acidity, salt, and delightful crunch created a perfect balance that had a surprising and satisfyingi mouthfeel. It was fresh, unexpected, and an balanced. This dish deserves a standing ovation. Quite possibly the best potatoes I've ever had. The combination of shallots, house-made ricotta, green onions, and a beautifully fresh broth poured tableside was nothing short of blue-ribbon. The textures were perfect, creamy yet structured depth of incredible flavor. This dish makes the short-list for a last meal. No notes. The clams were served in a subtle yet complex broth that was tasty but my favorite part were the broth-soaked Brussels sprouts that accompanied it, earthy, tender, and, as always, packed with flavor. I hope I don't offend the chef when I say this is the best mac and cheese I've ever had. It's not mac and cheese, buuut it gives you a good idea. The wild mushrooms, aromatic herbs, and the cheese blend were a masterclass in indulgence. Each noodle was perfectly coated in a creamy, flavorful sauce that managed to leave minimal residue on the bowl, but every ounce of flavor in the dish. It was rich, satisfying, and unfairly delicious. We want to explore more of the menu, but it's hard to imagine going here and not ordering this every time. We wrapped things up with a budino that was a delightful blend of vanilla and coffee. My wife has celiac and they were incredibly thoughtful and accommodating. They made sure everything was safe for her, which we deeply appreciated. The service overall was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and efficient, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The wine they recommended for my wife she LOVED and got multiple glasses (a rarity for her). Oquirrh also has a zero-waste philosophy. Leftovers came in a Whole Foods bag, which at first seemed quirky but made total sense when they explained their efforts to minimize waste. From reusing ingredient byproducts to crafting incredible broths and ricottas, their approach is both admirable and adds a level of layered, deep deliciousness that I rarely come across. Oquirrh is a masterpiece of a restaurant. Every dish was intentional, creative, and downright delicious. It's clear the powerhouse couple behind this gem have poured their hearts into every detail, and it shows. This is obviously a passion for them. My only regret is waiting so long to try it. This is officially a new favorite for date nights and taking out friends and family. If you haven't been yet, make a reservation and prepare for a dining experience that will blow you away. You'll leave with a full stomach, a happy heart, and a newfound respect for the art of cuisine.

It was cold outside but Oquirrh provided a total warmth vibe with outstanding service and fabulous food. The sourdough bread with sea salt butter and fried green tomatoes were the perfect starters. The famous chicken pot pie was back and lived up to the hype. The scallops special was perfection in presentation and taste. The homemade pasta was so delish. Don't skip out on dessert - the flavors were outstanding.

Came here for my birthday the first weekend in December. This is our second time here since they opened. I was still very pleased with my experience. We made a reservation and was seated immediately. Our server was very helpful when we were deciding on food and drinks. Being farm to table the menu is not large and does change. We started with the clams with bone marrow and grilled bread. It was absolutely scrumptious! The bread was great to dip in the very flavorful and delicious garlic wine sauce the clams were cooked in. My husband and I both got the same entree but it was amazing. The steak was cooked as requested and was very juicy, tender and well seasoned. There were parsnips pureed, deep fried and whipped like potatoes with grilled Brocolini and a sauce. Everything was so good and i loved the variation in texture and taste that came with the various ways then parsnips were presented on the plate. Basically, it was a damn good meal! I typically don't eat dessert often but it was my birthday so we went for it. I don't remember exactly what it was but it was a citrus tart like thing with some coconut ice cream. I am not usually a fan of coconut, but as an ice cream it was fairly mild and not overly sweet. It was a very great combination of tart and sweet. Even though we love near Ogden; I'm definitely going to try and make it back to this place more often!

I wanted to update my previous (4-star) review and change it to a 5!!! Why? This place has blown my socks off the last few times I've come here. I've come here 4 times in the last 5 months and have enjoyed each time so much that I keep craving it every week. The service has been absolutely impeccable recently and I love the food here with all my heart. Each time they change up the menu I am a bit sad that something I loved is taken off, but then I am always so delighted and impressed by what takes its place. All the people I've dined here with have also been so impressed by the food and we always have such a great time. I love that the price points are never pretentious or ridiculous, the food is made with such care, the dishes are inspired and creative, and the portions super reasonable. Usually, at places with food this good in quality, the portions are disappointing and leave people hungry. I think that the ambiance is so special here. It's cozy, romantic but not over-the-top, and quiet enough for a normal conversation. My boyfriend and I came here for an anniversary dinner and we both thought it was the perfect place for it. Now on to the recommendations-- Rigatoni with vodka sauce that is gin-based-- SO GOOD. Must try before it rotates off the menu. Have it with the Elouan Pinot Noir and thank me later. Also, the pasta noodles here taste so fresh and like they make them in-house. House Radiatore Pasta with Mushrooms-- One of my favorite pasta dishes in my life. I could eat this every day. The mushrooms they use are amazing and I also recommend this with the Elouan Pinot Noir. Sourdough bread-- Theirs and Table X's sourdough breads are about the same in deliciousness and I can't choose a winner, but they are superior to all the other sourdough I've had. Trout Hash brunch special 12/2/23-- I hope this dish stays in a constant rotation and is not only here for one weekend. I loved every part of this dish and it was so thoughtfully crafted. I want to literally eat this again tomorrow. Oquirrh Salad-- so yummy and such a great portion size for a salad! I shared this as an appetizer with my boyfriend and the dressing was so unique. Definitely not a salad that I can simply make at home (which often happens with restaurant salads). Dessert special of the night 12/1/23, an Italian chocolate pudding dish with honey-whiskey ice cream-- AMAZING. So different than what we can usually get for dessert elsewhere and the honey-whiskey ice cream was special. I just can't recommend this restaurant enough.

Everything was delicious! We had the beets and goat cheese salad and mussels as appetizers. Both were delicious! We got the steak over mashed potatoes and the chicken with farro and we got the pasta with meat sauce and had morels with it. Was fantastic! The place is not fancy but it is really decent me dining! Service was excellent too! We left without having dessert but loved this place and will be back soon!

Great food! Mostly full on a Friday night. Sourdough bread could use thicker-sliced radish to better savor radish flavor. Rigatoni was a touch salty for some but tasty for all. Airline Chicken very moist and flavorful - nothing like airline food, of course. Great dessert of chocolate budino with mousse and strawberry Thai basil ice cream and blackberries. Minor issues: in the dim lighting, the food looked a bit brown and bleached out and the menu was hard to read.

Very unique menu that my client loved!! Atmosphere was great. Food was delicious. Service was great.

I have celiac (CANNOT eat gluten) and they had a specific menu for me including which things would be cross-contaminated by something like the fryer. Amazing service! And to top it off, it was one of the best gluten free restaurant meals I've ever had. Highly recommend the pork chop. Just a word of warning that they ask you if you want sparkling or spring water and then charge you for a bottle if you select one of those.

Since learning to tie my own shoes this was the best meal I've had. No notes. Photo Credit: Australian Truffle

So delicious. Small bathrooms and I loved the ambiance of a small well defined space. Everything is local and ethically sourced. Service was incredibly friendly! I loved our server. Crepe dessert and a pasta was a must!

We came here for Sunday date night, and the atmosphere was nice as we were the first table to arrive, promptly seated by the window. The server was super friendly and attentive, properly pacing our meal and making sure our drinks were always filled. We started out with some peach and champagne cocktails along with the house sourdough, which was some of the best bread I've ever had. We also split the Baby Gem Lettuce "Caesar," which had a unique taste with the paprika garnish. For our entrees, my husband got the Frenched Pork Chop, which included a plum mostarda that complimented the pork well. I had the House Made Anelli Pasta, which had a super overpowering sauce and more accompaniments than pasta. I would try something else next time. We paired our entrees with the hibiscus margarita, which was unique and delicious, and my favorite sip of the night, the limoncello, vodka, lime, and basil martini. We finished the night with a tart with a peach compote and ice cream on top, which was one of the best desserts I ever had. The reason I gave this restaurant four stars is because although the food was high end, it was super overpriced, and my pasta was overpowering. The entrees range from $29-$63, the drinks from $10-$15, and the desserts were $14 each, making our two person meal with tip over $200. Regardless of price, I would recommend giving this place a try!

The entire vibe of this place was amazing. We were warmly welcomed and seated quickly on a. Sunday evening, despite not having a reservation. The servers gave us space and information to help us make great choices. I had the corn fondue pasta. I was honestly so skeptical, but this was one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. Sweet. Acidic. Mushrooms. Corn. A creamy sauce with Parmesan all without being heavy. It was so delicious. My husband had the salad - he's obsessed with the toasted buckwheat - and the sourdough. This bread was ahead of-mazing. Seriously so good. And when you add the European creamy butter and flaky salt. Divine! We shared the chocolate dessert and again I was worried it would be too sweet but it was perfectly balanced. Great wine selection too!

first off service was super fast and they were nice. i was able to make and mange reservations online no problem. order the burger mainly because if foie gras aioli. it was good. the hashbrown looked crunchy but side was still soft. wish it was cooked an lil longer. they have a great dinner menu i wish i was able to order chicken pot pie for brunch. i was only in town for real quick and chose to eat here for breakfast. note: you can order drinks starting at 10:30.

Had a wonderful meal with our group all the entrées were delicious not. Including the halibut chicken, pasta, and steak dishes . I would give this restaurant 5 stars but the service was a bit lacking. Admittedly our server said she had only been working for 6 days and was still new to the industry.She mentioned she was still learning how to use a corkscrew and how to serve wine. Perhaps a bit more training would be in order before she is given her own section.

Love that their menu is seasonal and they partner with local artisan sources. Food was light but filling. We ordered four dishes for two people and it was perfect. I'm coming back in the winter for th chicken pot pie! Also service was so good. Everyone was so nice. Bri, our server, was kind and always had a genuine smile!!

5 out of 5 stars. We started off getting every appetizer. The sea salt butter bread was bomb. We ended up ordering 4 of them. Everyone ordered mock tails, gotta be honest.... They all were pretty terrible. We ordered all of them. I needed up getting the steak. Was cooked perfectly! Tasted amazing and the peas and sauce sounded weird but tasted amazing. Our friends got the rigatoni and it was an 8/10 Spicey. Mouth was on fire but those who love spice seemed to enjoy it.

I haven't been to Salt Lake City since the Winter Olympics, so I wanted to make the most of my three nights of dining. To select three outstanding meals, I consulted the list of James Beard nominees. First stop was Oquirrh. Oquirrh is truly an intimate restaurant, with possibly 10 tables. When we arrived on Sunday, it was full of diners of all ages enjoying great food and drink. The restaurant opened in 2019, was a semifinalist in the 2023 James Beard awards and is named for a nearby mountain range. Chef Andrew Fuller has worked at the Copper Onion, HSL and Page before opening Oquirrh with his wife. The restaurant features a New American inspired menu, with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients. It is staffed by a group of super friendly and helpful servers (a special shout out to Ella). And the bar serves some amazing craft cocktails (I recommend the Prickly Pear). We started with the Tempura Maitake Mushrooms and Milk Braised Potatoes. The mushrooms were truly an unexpected hit. The tempura batter and parmesan were insanely good. We were tempted to order seconds. The potatoes got a second-place vote simply because the mushrooms were so good. But they are worthy of your selection. For entrees, my wife ordered the house made Bucatini & Lamb Ragout, which was super rich and filling. The only criticism might be a tad too much salt. I ordered the 10oz Frenched Pork Chop, which was incredible. It is served medium with sauce Foie Gras and kickass Truffle Fries. We closed out the evening with a decadent serving of Budino. With two cocktails each, our check before tip came in at $190. Quality comes at a price. But I didn't have a problem given the quality of the service and food.

Oquirrh made it to my list of places to try when they were featured in Salt Lake Magazine as best restaurant. I wanted to save it for a special occasion, and tonight's birthday celebration seemed perfect. It's a small, quaint place outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown. The staff are friendly and attentive-they made us feel like we were special guests rather than just another couple of diners. Our server took time to answer our questions on the menu and even came back to us with details on the ingredients on a dish when we asked about a unique flavor. I enjoyed the chicken and my date had the spaghetti. They were both good and had complex flavors-nothing boring and premade. I appreciated all the different tastes and how well they combined to make a lovely experience. I look forward to returning and trying more items off the menu.

The food here is absolutely incredible. My wife and I always clean our plate. I got the new pork chop and she got the rigatoni. The Foie gras was a revelation, paired with the perfect amount of truffle.. would consider this life changing. The staff and owners are so sweet and doting. I love the artwork and ambiance. 10/10

We heard the hype about the confit chicken pot pie, and yes, it's worth the hype. It's so good!! The staff and our waitress were SO sweet and nice. We ordered the house sourdough, milk potatoes, and roasted cabbage. Oh my sourdough! Amazing! We actually ordered a second serving so that we could wipe up the sauces on our side dishes!! The milk potatoes were soft and creamy, and delicious. The roasted cabbage was perfectly cooked, and loved the fennel, the only thing is it's a little mustard heavy, so if you like mustard, you'll love it. For our mains we split the pot pie and the market fish with rice and mushrooms. We loved both! This place is quaint and elegant, and we would love to come back to try other dishes.

This place was awesome. Lots of a very good entrees. Not a lot for vegetarians, but the buccatini was quite good, and everyone at my table was absolutely raving about the halibut. The service was very friendly, and overall it was a very enjoyable meal.

This place!!! Holy wow wow wow!!! It's so insanely delicious. Literally everything was wonderful. The house made sourdough, the cabbage, and especially the Lamb Rigatoni! The drinks were fabulous! And they had my wives favorite wine the abraxas! I wonderfully balanced white! The staff was just flawless and marvelous. Met both owners which a husband and wife duo! And they are just crushing it in all aspects! If you want a nice dinner, that is fairly priced, in a wonderful atmosphere, this is the jam!

All of the food we ordered was a revelation - novel flavors and beautiful presentation. Pricey, but worth going with a group of people you'd share food with. The server was helpful in pointing out popular plates and what was vegetarian (or could be made vegetarian). House Sourdough Bread - Absolutely worth the hype, served with delicious salted butter. We had to get two orders because the three of us were in love at first bite. Milk Braised Potatoes - Looking at the menu description, I tried to imagine what this would taste like and I didn't even come close. Tangy, savory and rich. We scraped the bowl clean. Roasted Cabbage - Again, tried to imagine what this would taste like and was swept away by the innovative combination of toasty fennel, tart cabbage, and turmeric sauce. The turmeric sauce on its own was one-dimensionally turmeric, but it went well with the tender cabbage. House Made Leek Ash Canestri Pasta - Super rich and hearty. The pasta was a vivid green. I couldn't stop eating even though I was full. I'm glad I didn't add the option of winter black truffles to this, because it was already full of umami. House Made Rigatoni Pasta - The chef generously made this without the braised lamb for a vegetarian option and made it meatier by adding more of the local mushrooms. The mushrooms were perfectly cooked and the spicy marinara was a fantastic complement. Elder Old Fashioned - Having read so many great things about the cocktails here, I was really looking forward to trying this. Unfortunately, it just tasted like an overly sweet old fashioned. I didn't really get the flavor of elderflower, so it was only ok. Come for a leisurely dining experience and fresh, mindfully local offerings.

Food was awesome. Loved the pasta and chicken pot pie. Service was attentive and gracious. Too loud and bit overpriced ($7 for 4 slices of bread?) but would go again.

The food at Oquirrh is fresh and flavorful and the staff were very friendly and appropriately attentive. The sourdough bread is a must have. We also started with the Brie cheese, which was wonderful with the warm honey that is locally sourced by one of their employees. We had heard the potatoes dish was good, and the reviews were right. The Oquirrh salad was wonderful, and large enough to share. We finished with great local pasta, and an amazing Confit Chicken Pot Pie. SLC has a really good food scene, and Oquirrh will be on your short list of best places to eat.

This is a really nice American restaurant in Salt Lake with unique options and great service. On a Monday night, we were able to walk in with no reservations and they even gave me a small plant for my birthday! Milk Braised Potatoes ($14): These were tender, but tasted very similar to regular potatoes for me. There wasn't too much flavor, but I still enjoyed the vinaigrette. I would probably pass on this next time. Sherry Glazed Duck Breast ($41): The duck was wonderfully cooked and the went well with the rutabaga purée. The roasted brussel sprouts were a bit bland in flavor for me, but the fried red onions were good. House Made Rigatoni Pasta & Braised Lamb ($29): I remember this being slightly on the salty side, but I really enjoyed how well the pasta was cooked. The lamb and mushroom had nice flavor as well with the sage and brown butter! We also had a knafeh for dessert, but it was different from the typical middle eastern style. This one didn't have any cheese layered on top and had cotton candy in it instead. It was decent, but not what I was expecting. Overall, the prices are a bit high, but this place was a great find for us in the city!

Tucked away from downtown SLC in a structure that looks like it's evolving is Oquirrh (pronounced Oaker). Don't go by the look of it from the outside, because the food, service and the vibe that awaits you indoors are fantastic. This is a small restaurant with about 10-15 tables. We were in SLC for an extended weekend and this was by far my favorite place for the food!! They have a seasonal, local, farm to table menu and the creativity of the chef shines through in every dish! We were a group of 6 and we ordered most of the items on their menu! Starting with the sourdough bread, the Hamachi Aguachile, the salads, the pasta, milk braised potatoes, the zucchini bread and the salmon were all excellent. The milk braised potatoes with whey vinaigrette was good to the point that I am still dreaming of it! We were celebrating a birthday and they gifted the person with a cute succulent as an Oquirrh tradition. This special gesture was much appreciated by our entire party. If there's one place you can have dinner in SLC, make it this!

This place has been on a list for a while since it has a Jim Beard award! We liked the food but I think we should've come for dinner as it seems like that's what there better known for. BUT we got their Sunday brunch and it was still a good experience. I think everyone's favorite part of the breakfast was the hash browns but their sweet options were great. The French toast banana pudding was so good and easy to be shared with everyone. The hangover pasta was recommended to us by a server but it definitely leans toward lunch/dinner than breakfast lunch. Their drinks are super funky haha. The orange mimosa came out green because it has green glitter and it was so cute and fun. It still tasted like a regular mimosa though. The place was pretty empty on a Sunday afternoon and I didn't have any trouble getting a reservation for a big group. Parking is street parking and super easy!

Amazing food along with excellent service. Hafen has waited on us twice in a month and was amazing. His recommendations were on point and his service was top notch. Will make this a stop for our family every time I'm in town.

This spot has a cozy feeling, it's not the type of place you have to fear will be too loud or large tables full of people. My favorite spot to sit is by the front window. Similar to its size, it has a small food menu. But everything on the menu comes with plenty of flavor! I was anticipating the spaghetti dish to come with red sauce, it does not - which was a positive surprise. This menu item offers you the ability to add special truffles to the dish - but the pricing as displayed for the truffles appears deceiving. It's currently an extra $35 dollars to add (not just $7 as one might perceive). We ordered the potato's as an appetizer and also truly loved all the flavors it came with. I do wonder if frying the potatoes would have enhanced the dish even more. In terms of service, the entire place we being run by 2 folks (excluding the kitchen I assume). The food came out fast but drink service felt delayed.

My partner and I have both been here a few times at this point and overall we love it! The menu is really small and rotates seasonally, but if you manage to find a dish that fits your palate then it could very likely replace the best meal you've had in SLC. Tonight I ordered the duck breast and my partner had the chicken pot pie, which she had been waiting for all year. The duck was cooked to perfection, presented beautifully, and the rutabaga puree, red onions, and Brussels sprouts were perfect additions to the rich meat. Everything on the plate paired so nicely. The only downside was my partner biting into a couple rubbery, overcooked pieces of chicken in her pot pie that she had to set aside, but other than that she said it was delicious. It was a truly hearty pot pie perfect for winter. Service has been great every time and tonight was no exception. I also just love how cozy and welcoming the restaurant itself is. Can't wait for our next visit!

I got the rigatoni and it was soooo delicious. The sausage and fennel added a lot of dimension. The pasta is made daily in-house. And you can tell. The ambiance is intimate and warm. Perfect for a snowy evening meal. Our server was prompt, professional, and sincere. He even did a two minute check back after we received our food. It made me feel taken care of! Everything was perfect! I'll definitely be back.

Excellent food and service. I will definitely go back. It's a hidden gem. The service was great and the food matched it.

This was a very cute little brunch spot that left some to be desired. The location is not ideal but you can find some street parking outside. For any modern brunch joint, i expect there to be a variety of protein options, especially if its a newer place with steeper prices but sadly i was disappointed in the only options being pork-based. The hash browns sides were $4 and a bit too crunchy and salty for my liking. The pasta was great and i enjoyed the sauce & egg but would have loved a chicken addition option. As far as service, everyone was nice but we did have a delay in water refills and i did not have silverware for the majority of my meal. Overall, it was an average experience that could be elevated with some additions.

REALLY REALLY amazing meal from the appetizer to the dessert; just flawless. I wish I lived closer so I could come again.

Loved this restaurant. Great service, food, and ambiance. No loud music, just fun conversations. The food here was fantastic! My lamb ragout was exactly what I wanted. The steak was a little overdone, but still delicious. I loved the peas. Excellent beer selection too! Would definitely come back next time we're in town.

We visited one time. The food was excellent and the service was too. As long as it wasn't too crowded, they separated the patrons for a little privacy. The art work was fun to see. It was a good night.

Came here based on a friends suggestion and so glad that we did! Got a reservation done a couple of days before and dined at probably the best table in the restaurant. We started off with the gin and whiskey cocktail - both good. For apps, had the heirloom potatoes - never would have picked these but our friend suggested that we try and hence we did. Never have I ever been blown away by potatoes!! They were on a bed of ricotta which was so well flavoured. For mains we got the crispy duck with a side of strawberry sauce which was so spicy that it gave the right kick!!! Also got the ricotta gnudi- soo good! The Gnudi was their special and definitely think they should bring it on their regular menu. Finished off with some chocolate mousse like dessert! Everything was exceptional! This is definitely a very exclusive place and I highly recommend dining here for your special occasions! Truly a great evening we had!

Visited this place on a Saturday night. A really nice romantic date place. They have street parking and private parking. No kids menu but provided my kiddo Disney coloring materials that she enjoyed. Service was excellent. Very friendly staff. Drinks are fun! The slushy drink, they offer different star wars characters. My hubby thinks it's a bit light on the alcohol. We ordered everything to share as we wanted to try everything. Our favorite for the appetizers were the mushroom and the clams. The milk braised potatoes were just ok. The chicken pot pie was just typical and nothing so special but presentation was really nice. Our favorite main was the pork chop. That foie gras sauce was to die for!! I think they change their menu pretty often so we can't wait to come back to try their new things!

The best eggs Benedict at brunch is the best I've ever had. Went in today HC and Jess are the cutest and sweetest servers ever. 10/10 experience

Another fantastic brunch, as usual. Not only am I satisfied every time we dine here, but I am also thoroughly impressed. It's all in the details: clean glasses, flowers on the table, amazing house hot sauce, and extremely friendly servers. Truly, everything I have tried here has been excellent. You must give it a try. Making a reservation through their website is also incredibly easy, so you have no excuses!

Sunday Brunch was amazing. Personable staff very attentive to everyone. A very cozy environment with a great display of local Art for sale. The red eye graveyard was a brilliant creation of original red eye and breakfast gravy, delicious! The Bloody Mary was excellent! They space has been transformed into a very welcoming, above average food establishment. I will be returning often for birthday brunch.

My favorite high-end ish "American (New)" place in Salt Lake. The service is so home-y, the ambiance so warm. Came here for dinner a couple times, the fried cauliflower/mushroom appetizer is also not to be missed! The batter is light and crisp, and works well with the creamy sauce it's served with. I've had the pasta and found it perfect each time. My friend had the steak, which was a very very generous portion. I was also lucky to stop by for brunch, where I discovered Oquirrh is home to one of the top hash browns I've ever had in my entire life (the other being from Beltex Meats, also an amazing SLC spot. The brunch burger's addition of pate was a bit rich for me but it was no problem to scrape a little off. While I'm hundreds of miles away now, I would love to return to Oquirrh on future trips to SLC and urge you to pay them a visit too!

This place is soooo good! The staff and service were great! Food was fresh, creative and delicious! We asked our waitress for recommendations and she did not steer us wrong. Can't wait to go back!

I went here for my birthday and was treated so well. I made reservations ahead of time and was seated promptly. The restaurant is small but very homey. We tried the specials of the day which were well worth it. We asked for recommendations for wine and it paired well with our food.
