The Glowbal Bite — Restaurant in Salt Lake City

I love a good surprise.

To set the scene: On a snowy SLC night, I find myself with an 11 hour turn around before my early flight, and I decide the closer to the airport the better.

The bar is simple, and the menu is simple. I was not impressed, not let down…. Just really average bar food menu so I had really average expectations.

I was feeling the street tacos. They seemed to be the flashiest item on the menu which is def going one of 2 ways: these tacos are gonna be a treasure, OR these tacos are gonna be terrible….. no in-between when an item is a standout.

Even if I was at a different hotel, I would come here for these tacos!!!!!! The pork was flavorful, the tortillas had a homey authenticity, and the flavors were robust. Never would I thought that some of my fave tacos would be at this hotel bar…..

The atmosphere is low key hotel bar. The bartender is a rockstar. She’s kind and she hustles.

I’m mind blown in...

Went here on a whim on my last night in the area. Service by Sara was extremely attentive even with 6-7 other patrons in the restaurant. Adam was also helping out behind the bar and with tables. Ordered a couple drinks and the 12oz steak to go. Blue cheese and bacon wedge salad was good although I'm not a huge fan of wedge salads. Sara was worried that a plastic knife wouldn't cut the steak so she offered multiple options for me. She gave me multiple sets of utensils just in case which was very thoughtful and I had no issues cutting my (ordered rare) steak. Steak was cooked well work a greet flavor. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Great...

Do you remember those spinning showcase’s they had at diners to show their deserts etc? Thats what they must have pulled the carnitas tacos out of. First i tricked my wife into trying the beans which she spit out and wouldn’t let me feed the kids... the side of rice was made of plastic (seriously I’m sure of it) and we each took a bite of the tacos and couldn’t even chew through the meat) in my 41 years i don’t think i’ve ever sent food back just because i don’t want to cause any trouble... it was the worst, asked for a refund on the tacos and ate the wings and mac which was fine. Still tipped 20% because our server was great....
