Oasis Cafe Dinner Specials
There’s still plenty of summer left to enjoy Oasis Cafe’s pretty patio. Their ongoing three course dinner specials make it a great value too. Chef Efren Nicholas has created three-course specials that change weekly – each for just $25. “Our patio is such a lovely respite from the hustle and bustle of busy work days,” said Will Keesen, general manager. “These specials are also a super value at just $25 for the three-courses. It’s been a very popular new dinner option with our guests.” Each weekly three-course $25 menu starts with a choice of soup or salad:
August 12-18:
pan seared tiger prawns over grilled squash zucchini, served with heirloom tomatoes and microgreens dressed with chili oil and coconut sauce, with lemon and raspberry panna cotta to finish.
August 19-25:
pan-seared escolar over spaghetti squash and heirloom tomatoes, grilled asparagus and balsamic reduction, and raspberry cheesecake for dessert.
August 26-September 1:
poached halibut over grilled sweet potatoes, zucchini, bell peppers and steamed spinach, topped with dill Hollandaise sauce. Apple pie with ice cream and caramel sauce for dessert

We’ve got our fingers crossed for Frida Bistro, and their El Ruibarbo entry – which is our drink of the moment right now.
BTG set to open
Eagle eyed downtown watchers will no doubt have seen Fred Moesinger’s (owner of Caffe Molise) spirited efforts to get his new wine bar, BTG licensed and opened. Up until now a desperate lack of club licenses has stymied his efforts to open downtown SLC’s first wine-centric bar. This week, the Tribune reported that’s set to change, at least briefly – as the plucky business owner has decided to start the ball rolling with a limited summer license.
Moesinger told the Tribune: “I’m hopeful that I can show there’s a demand for a wine bar,” said Moesinger. “But it’s difficult to hire a staff, not knowing how long the wine bar will be in business.”
BTG (short for By The Glass) aims to offer 50 wines by the glass plus spirits, local beers and a light bites menu from the adjoining Caffe Molise. The limited time license allows the business to open this coming Monday (22nd) through the end of October. Fans of a lively downtown, not to mention all things wine – should stop by and a raise a glass to support this cool new business.

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you! I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC. I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have written in myopic detail about the Salt Lake City dining scene for the better part of seventeen years.
I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV. Pause those credits, yep, that’s me! I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune. I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand. What they’re saying about me: “Not inaccurate”, “I thought he was older”, “I don’t share his feelings”.
