   Bambara used to be a favorite but post pandemic their menu is too limited and the food quality is poor to average. I go there only when time is a concern since it’s across the street from my office.

   My wife and I had a wonderful experience for our late Valentine’s Day dinner. The Parmesan ice cream with caviar for dessert was an especially wonderful treat. The beef tartare was also extremely delicious.

   The food was fantastic and the service was great. Our water glasses were never empty and dirty plates were whisked away quickly.

   Excellent service! The appetizer with mushroom was a bit too chewy, but the rest was great!

   Our server was beyond amazing. She was cheerful, informative, professional, and took initiative to make sure our order arrived with enough time to leave for our show following dinner. Additionally, all of the dishes (and beverages) we ordered were absolutely fantastic. It’s clear this restaurant knows what it’s doing, has good leadership, and the staff is happy. We’ll done, guys 👏

   Bambara was lovely per usual, it’s a SLC staple. Ambience was great, server was lovely, the beet salad is fantastic. I loved the bitter contrast of the blended sesame seeds with the sweetness of the beets. We got the charcuterie with meat which I loved. I love a good charcuterie. Got the blue cheese house cut potatoes chips which were fine, just melted blue cheese on top of potato chips, won’t order those again. My partner and I were pretty disappointed at the steak. It was the special of the night, served cold and unevenly cooked where half was medium and half was medium rare. It wasn’t tender, really stringy, and the fat wasn’t rendered properly. The steak sauce served with it oddly took away from the dish as oppose to adding to it and the steak was also severely under seasoned. Had a really great night and I do love this restaurant, just not the best night as far as food goes.

   The food was good. not a lot of things on the menu. not what i was expecting for the price that i payed. it was very small but they packed the tables into a small space we were 3 feet from another two person table. You can hear everything the people you were next to were saying

    We went for our anniversary. The food was amazing, all the staff were attentive and friendly. My husband had the Elk steak and said it was better than he could ever imagined. I had the duck, so much flavor, tender and the potato puree was delicious! They have a great wine and drink menu. We also had the lava cake and an affogato with the Parmesan ice cream. We will absolutely eat there again when coming to town.
