If you haven’t heard of this restaurant, it’s one of a trio of very promising new openings (including Tipica and Forage). All feature a heavy focus on locally sourced ingredients. Pago is set to open on the 27th of May, but you can get a taste of the menu before that next Wednesday and Thursday. From 4-6PM each day the restaurant will be running an open house for the public, including tours of the space and free samples from the menu. More over at http://www.pagoslc.com/
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”.

Of course I’d have to be out of town for the delicious open houses. I’ll be back by May 27 though! ~Amanda
I will not call this local restaurant gastronomic.
The food was average by the way..
Sounds like you didn’t have a good time there John, what did you dislike?
