Oquirrh Restaurant

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.

The radiatore pasta was absolutely up there! the pot pie was pretty good, I felt it was a bit in the saltier side for my taste. the duck was just ok IMO. I liked how they threw some twist into their soft product (kids get water in a sippy cup). Our servers attitude and interaction was really nice too. Note: their menu change depending on the time of year. If I go back, it’ll probably be to try the pasta again.

The sourdough bread and milk- braised potatoes were delicious. Our entrees - anelli pasta and the pork chop- were fantastic! The pork chop was cooked to perfection (moist and tender) and the plum sauce complimented it nicely. We tried the chocolate crepes and peach tart for dessert. Both were good, but the peach tart was my favorite. The restaurant is small and the food is a bit pricey, but the quality of the food is excellent. The service was good too!

Was invited to this location to celebrate my birthday while visiting Salt Lake City on business and i’m so happy we went! My only regret is not taking more photos of the great food we got. Literally everything was composed in a way I’ve never had. So many great flavors and made from scratch dishes. I had the house made sour dough, milk braised potatoes, and house made mushroom rigatorre pasta. The pastry chefs dessert creation was an awesome mix of cake, pudding, caramel, apples, brown butter and ice cream…. Don’t even know what it was called but was the perfect end to an amazing birthday meal! The server even gave me a succulent plant as a birthday gift!

We were seated within minutes. Our server, Mickey, was awesome! Explained the menu and which dishes she really enjoyed, gave us a brief history of the restaurant and the chef and his history. The food was amazing. We had the trout which had wonderful flavor and the presentation was great! We also had pasta with a creamy Alfredo sauce with a medley of different mushrooms and garlic mixed with an assortment of delicious, aromatic herbs. I would 100% eat here again and recommend this spot to anyone who’s looking for a great meal at a fair price!
