Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Salt Lake

We had to make reservation changes multiple times an hour prior to our reservation time. The hostess was extremely accommodating and so helpful and polite during all interactions. They were able to meet our party of 8 requests even though it was a Saturday night and holiday weekend. Waitress was very friendly and attentive and food was great as usual. Love coming here, will continue coming here and will always recommend others to as well.

Delicious flavors blended together to make a superb dining experience. Chef’s experience around the world really shines through his dishes. Chef’s kiss!!!

Excellent lunch. Creative prix fixe menu that exceeded my already high expectations for The Pearl. Surprise addition of a champagne-blood orange sorbet amuse bouche raised the bar even higher. The student staff served the almost-full dining room with grace and elan. I can't wait for my next opportunity to dine there.

What a dream to have a lovely fine dining experience. The food, presentation and service was exceptional. I was impressed with the rhythm of each dish delivery to the table, no rush just the right amount of time between plates. Our server was extremely affable, as were the many others who brought dishes to the table. Never intrusive. The plating and combination of flavors were thoughtful and delicious creations. Considering that the treatment was Michelin level, the reasonable price point for our experience was a bargain.

Overall we had a great experience. We were seated quickly after arriving, our server greeted us, brought us water, took drink orders, went over specials, and got our order taken. The timing of everything was great. We got our drinks, our appetizer came out shortly after, and our food came out shortly after we finished the appetizer. Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and great throughout the whole dinner. We’d definitely come back. We would just note to be seated inside next time. The street noise was a little loud for our liking, but not enough to ruin the experience.
