East Liberty Tap House — Restaurant in Salt Lake City

Short review: Tasty and well made food, interior design is quite hipstery and well put together, good music and service.

Long review: Chips & Salsa- the salsa was delicious hot and balance flavours, the chips was hot, fresh, well salted and very crispy but the taste of the chips was alittle plain.

Hummus- small but quite tasty, as an Israeli i am use to the way ppl make Hummus in Israel whice is very different, but i do respect the interpretation having said that i think the Hummus was alittle grainy and sour to my taste and the Pita bread was made too much as a Tortilla and too less as a Pita whice means more even browness than spots of browness in Tortilla.

Pickles- a bit small even for a 3 dollar dish, taste wise it was ok, the Turmeric Cauliflower was a nice touch and a good combo, it did look like the pickles was alittle dry as the plate was made before order.

Veggie Burger- Tasty patty and great fries, the patty was crispy and had great flavour, i am not sure tho that burger is right way to go with this blend they use for the patty, maybe use the this blend as Falafel on top of hummus and burnt green pepper with some hotness addition, because the buns and all of that burger responsibility does not compliment this nice patty, the fries were crispy outside and soft inside and the taste was great also.

They did charge 1 dollar for testing beers without say something about the charge before, which is lack of class imo.

Overall we had a nice experience with good food and service, i really like the music and music volume, even tho i think they should make some food tuning in terms of balance and kitchen philosophy, this place is good and i would...

For the sake of making a much cash as possible, they cramped as many tables in this place as possible! Absolutely no privacy. Ridiculous. Also, it WOULD be refreshing if there was a single restaurant/bar in Salt Lake that would PROHIBIT their hosts/servers to use cell phones during their shifts! Why do I have to wait for a host/server to finish their private conversation on their cell phone (texting) to help me?? And the final insult was when we got the check for over $30 for 2 tacos, a glass of beer and a shot of tequila (what a rip off)! We paid in cash, left a good tip and left the building. We then stood by the outdoor fireplace for a second and were LITERALLY chased down by our waitress who wanted us to pay! She stated there was still a balance on her stupid little device she was carrying. Confused we told her that we already pay l paid inside. She couldn't comprehend and he stupid little Gen z brain couldn't understand why there was still a balance showing. I then told this imbecile that we left the money on the table with the check. She then had the rudeness,ignorance,audacity and stupidity to state in front of a LOT of people that, and I quote:" She didn't know that cash still existed!!" Seriously! Whoever runs/owns this business is a moron! You hire people based on who might show up for work. You hire people because they are cheap because that's ALL they are capable off: Carrying a plate to a table and ask how the food was. We will never ever set foot in your stupid overhyped...

I wish I could rank this higher--I loved this place before tonight. I took my friend visiting from out of town here for dinner because I like it so much. There were 4 of us in our party. When we were seated, right away our server was in a big rush to get us out of there. After our first drink and dinner, everyone was in the mood for another round of drinks, but immediately after we finished eating she came to collect our payment and didn't give us the option of a second round. She then cleared all of our water glasses as if we weren't getting the hint already to get out. While my friend is waiting for her uber and we are wrapping up, our server came to our table and rudely told us to "MOVE ON" with our night and get out of the restaurant! When we explained that we were just waiting for a ride, she told us to go sit outside! In 20° weather!! We were there a little over an hour, not unreasonable for a nice sit down Friday night dinner (and nowhere near closing time). Most of the people near us were there before we even sat down and they were still there, just sitting and sipping drinks, and they were not told to leave. I have worked in restaurants for years and I totally understand that one last table that's been there forever talking and not ordering anything, and you're just trying to close up and get home. This was not that situation. ELTH--Can you explain why we were KICKED OUT of your restaurant? You're going to continue to lose business if your prioritize table turnover over...
