Restaurant Reviews

Gastronomic SLC began as a restaurant review website.  Over the years, this has changed.  We no longer write traditional reviews of restaurants; instead, we prefer to highlight those spots that are really good, right now.  You can find those stories in our Eat Here Now category.

 

Stella Grill restaurant review

A new restaurant from the group that brought Salt Lake Martine? Things look promising for this casual and unassuming neighbourhood restaurant. Read on to see our latest visit to Stella Grill.

Pho Green Papaya restaurant review

West Valley City is home to a vast array of worldy flavours. Pho Green Papaya adds another Vietnamese restaurant to an already burgeoning landscape of top notch eateries. How does this new kid on the block fare?

Kyoto restaurant review

While most may be huddled over their Udon and Sukiyaki in the cold winter months, we love sushi all year round. Join us on our most recent trip to the ever consistent Kyoto.

Pine restaurant review

Pine is the most recent of Greg Neville’s (owner/chef) Salt Lake City restaurants; the last being the continually popular Lugano. After reading many positive reviews of Pine, we decided to give the place a whirl this past Saturday evening. Read on to find out how the night fared.

Bambara restaurant review

Before I write about our dinner at Bambara, I should confess it is one of my personal favorite restaurants here in Salt Lake City. When it comes to Bambara, I often wax lyrical to family and friends, but will try to remain as unbiased as possible here.

Mazza restaurant review

This weekend saw our fourth visit (in as many months I’d wager) to Mazza. Each visit has been to the newer 9th and 9th location. For as long as I can recall we have attempted to visit the original 15th and 15th Mazza location and failed. Reviews were consistently excellent and we love Middle-Eastern cuisine.

Lugano, Salt Lake City

I have tried as many places as possible from the chain food fare of Johnny Carino’s through to long established independant Rino’s right on to the trendy hipness of Michelangelo’s in Sugarhouse. So far none has come close to the epicurean heights of back home.

Will Lugano be my Italian goto place in SLC?

Perfect rosemary roasted potatoes

I’ve tasted spuds ranging from too hard, not crispy enough, too oily all the way through to totally flavourless. After a few years of hard work (and spending too much in restaurants), I think I have perfected the art of roasting spuds.

Ladies and gents, I give you perfect rosemary roasted potatoes!

Metropolitan, Salt Lake City

Evening restaurant review.

A couple of Saturdays ago I got my Christmast present from Wen – a trip to Metropolitan. Often lauded as one of SLC’s premier dining locations we have been meaning to go for quite some time.
