Best Seasonal Restaurants in Salt Lake

Every dish from starter through dessert was not only outstanding, but unusual preparations. This includes perfectly cooked salmon with a chili pepper sauce, the beet starter with creamy goat cheese, and a Thai peppery chocolate dessert. Even the cocktail special was unusual but delicious. Service was prompt and outstanding, and they left a pitcher of water on the table - a plus in my book.

We tried Livestock Tavern for the first time tonight, having initially avoided it due to concerns about the safety of the surrounding neighborhood. We were really glad we that we finally went, and totally regret not trying this exceptional restaurant earlier!! The food, drinks, and service were outstanding (even the foodies in our group raved), and we thoroughly enjoyed all the yummy appetizers and the wonderful entrees. The Brussels and Pumpkin app was entirely and enthusiastically eaten, and as far as entrees go, the prime rib, mushroom risotto, crab ravioli, and the steaks all exceeded expectations. (side note the neighborhood is greatly improved compared to a few years ago). We definitely will be back!!!

Partook in the Prix Fix Chef's Menu at Senia and we were amazed. We have been to Senia numerous times before for the a la carte menu, but the Chef's counter really took the meal to the next level. Topped off with the most beautiful Beef Wellington I've have ever seen, the meal was comforting, yet full of whimsy.

Reservation requesting bar seating was ready upon arrival, with menus, silverware & napkins awaiting our arrival. Staff was young, friendly and attentive, providing recommendations for libations and food favorites. We decided upon several appetizers, and found the crispy duck tacos a favorite! Also enjoyed the shrimp gyoza, with a puree of edamame and avocado. Many diners recommended their ramen bowl entries. They stock a well-rounded number of drinks, from beer and sake, to beautifully crafted non-alcoholic and alcoholic "Lucky" libations. All and all, a very pleasant evening. We will be back for more!

The Podmore is a gem of a place! It is a gorgeous space with staff that are kind and thoughtful. That attentiveness is part of the menu too: it is simply one of the best places in Honolulu for a creative and tasty cocktail; the food too is wonderful. I go every few months with a friend or when friends are in town and each time, we have a delightful experience. Top-notch!
