🇺🇸 Salt Lake City SLC｜Urban Hill

The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere! 👔✨ Many guests are dressed in suits and elegant outfits, giving it a sophisticated vibe. The prices are reasonable—starters are around 10+,andmaincoursesrangefrom30-$40. The kitchen is open, so you can watch the chefs busy at work! 👨‍🍳🔥 1️⃣ Steak Tartare The beef tartare was lightly seasoned and paired with a refreshing creamy lemon sauce. 🍋 However, the baguette served with it was a bit disappointing—over-toasted and too hard. 😬 2️⃣ Sablefish Tartare If you’re only ordering one tartare, make it this one! 🐟 The sablefish was expertly prepared, with Calabrian chili and orange bits adding wonderful layers of flavor. Served with slightly sweet lavash crisps—absolutely delicious! 😍🍊 3️⃣ French Onion Soup A classic French onion soup—sweet onions, baguette, and melted cheese. Tasty, but it can get a bit salty after a few sips. 🧅🧀🥖 4️⃣ Butternut Squash Risotto This risotto was made with roasted mushrooms, butternut squash, and Parmesan cheese, creating a uniquely rich flavor. 🍄🎃 The chef added a drizzle of lemon juice for complexity, but it slightly disrupted the balance of the dish. 5️⃣ Scallop We originally wanted the Golden Eagle Sablefish, but they didn’t have enough for a main course that day, so we opted for the scallops instead. 🐚 They were seared perfectly—tender and flavorful, served with roasted baby potatoes and cauliflower. 😋🥔 6️⃣ Affogato A delightful dessert! Vanilla ice cream meets hot espresso, forming a crispy coffee-flavored shell on top—sweet and utterly satisfying. 🍨☕️💖 Overall, the chef at Urban Hill clearly aims for creativity and innovation. However, sometimes too many ingredients can make the dishes feel overly complex. As a fine dining spot, the ambiance is excellent, but the food is decent rather than extraordinary. It’s not bad, but not mind-blowing either. Still, the place was packed, so if you want to give it a try, be sure to make a reservation in advance! 📅🍽️ #GourmetMeals #WesternCuisine #FineDining #SaltLakeCity #SLCFoodie #HiddenGems #FoodReview #UrbanHill #FoodieAdventure #RestaurantHopping
