So many spots around SLC punch above their weight on value, and this place fits right in. Tucked…read moreaway in Cottonwood Heights, it also happened to be a literal stroll across the street from where we were staying, which made it an easy yes for dinner. This isn't white-tablecloth, hushed-voice "fine dining," but the kitchen is absolutely cooking at that level. Every dish that hit the table delivered: the som tum, drunken noodles, and Thai fried rice were all standouts, with zero misses across the board. The mixed greens and golden tofu plates were legit highlights too, not just obligatory veggie options. One thing to know before you go: everything defaults to no spice unless you speak up. If you're used to true Asian spice levels, level 3 is probably your sweet spot. Level 2 was still a bit too tame for us, especially for something like the som tum that really sings with heat. Bottom line: excellent quality, generous value, and food that keeps you thinking about your next visit before you've even paid the check. This is absolutely a spot I'd come back to.

Ve La Thai Fining Dining was a last minute addition to my Salt Lake City list. Located in…read moreCottonwood Heights, about 30 minutes outside the city, the restaurant is in a strip mall. Here is where the identity crisis starts. You walk into a nice space with red velvet decor and Italian landscapes. I had to do a double-take to make sure we were in the proper establishment. The menu has photos of their dishes, great for a visual eater like myself. We started with the soft shell crabs in a chili sauce. The crabs were lightly battered, crisp and a delicious taste. We saved the sauce to pour over our rice, an added bonus. The pad Thai was to sweet, and over-run with red onions. This is not a combo I'm familiar with, not my favorite. The pork spiced ribs with honey, tomatoes, Thai spices and sesame oil was unique and good. They fell off the bone tender. What is stuck in my craw is the message sent by the physical space. Beautiful red velvet chairs, Italian landscapes and wine bottles lining the walls does not lend to fine Thai dining in my mind. A least paint over the walls and add SOME Thai touches. Let your wait staff know living on cell phone and ignoring patrons is never a winning message. The male bathroom has a toilet covered with painted tape and several missing pieces of porcelain. Are you a serious business or a pop-up finishing off someone else's lease? Attention to details are important and help set the table way before the food arrives. I wish Ve La Thai Fine Dining the best, but question their commitment after being here for over a year, perhaps it is all intentional.

Bro, absolutely zero exaggeration going on here lol they have custom sauces for the fries (my fav is the jalapeño cream one!) that take the already airy, crispy fry to the next level! My only regret is my stomach isn't bigger so I could eat more lol they are always super kind when it comes to the staff, so that's a huge bonus too! This will always be a "go-to-once-a-week" outing destination for our family! Love them! #LongLiveTys

I'm glad I saw that because if I wasn't paying attention, I would have seen the options to lower or raise the tip. Mind you, I don't appreciate people auto tipping themselves, and I almost set it to zero... but feared somebody might get pissed and spit in my food, so I put it at 10%. I'm not sure what I'm tipping for exactly, the service provided was literally just handing the bag of food over. Waited the 30 min as suggested through the conformation text, and picked up the order. I took the bag to my car and noticed there were only two boxes in it. Went through the boxes and as I suspected there was no calamari. Checked my account to see what they charged and it was the total for everything including tip. Went back inside the Ty's, and they were like " oh yeah we don't serve the calamari I don't know why they won't remove from the website" and they offered either a 7 piece shrimp or money back. I opted for the 7 piece which was ready 5 min later. It took about 7 min to get home at which point the crispness of the fish had really faded off, and the fries were soft and spongy. Honestly I can say Ty's didn't live up to the hype I've been reading, unless maybe it was just an odd day? Hard to say, but I can say with confidence it's not a good practice to automatically add a gratuity for yourself, and secondly, the missing food item should have been addressed at pick up OR through a text to see how I wanted to proceed with the order, not waiting to see if I notice and return to ask about it.

The vibes are nice and quiet (unless you're like us and go with a loud group of women), and the staff was amazing. Jordan was patient and the right amount of attentive. We had 6 or 7 tapas, 6 or 7 rolls, and 3 types of sake. Every single thing we had was delicious. My favorite tapas were the spicy tuna tartare and the jalapeño hamachi. They are a must try!! I really wish I took pictures of the food because it really was spectacular. This will be the sushi spot I take everyone to, and I can't wait!

Throughout the years I have heard great things about Mint so for our wedding anniversary my husband and I decided to finally try it out! I am so glad we did. Not only was it nice to skip the hassle of parking downtown but the food was great. Our server was amazing, with it being our first time she gave us a rundown of the menu and highlighted some favorites. The atmosphere of the restaurant was dim and chill. We ordered miso soups, the jalapeño hamachi, the beef tataki, the moonlight roll, and the apollo roll. I also ordered their sparkling sake which was a special and I loved it. The miso soups were delicious and priced well. The jalapeño hamachi is an award winning dish and I can see why. It was SO good. My husband actually saved the vinaigrette to try with other dishes. We also enjoyed the beef tataki, I did feel like it was a little on the chewy side but overall good. We loved the moonlight roll, the flavors and sweetness were good, I did feel like it was missing heat from the spicy tuna. The apollo roll was good, this roll also had spicy tuna and it was definitely hotter. Mint met our expectations and will definitely be a contender for our next sushi date night.

Always a plus to see an Aperol Spritz on the menu though, my favorite. Our food was a little hit and miss. My friend's clam pasta had the workings of an amazing dish, but it needed salt and more lemon to really make the flavors punch. Our ravioli was incredible, but might I suggest a slightly larger serving size to really be filling. The Quattro Formaggi pizza was good, but not the most memorable dish of the night. That was my friend's lasagna. That gets 10 stars. Also 10 stars to the lemon cake. It was incredible. Our server was charismatic.

Their menu changes weekly so it's always exciting to see what their new burgers are every Thursday…read more My friends ordered their "gyro" burger and I ordered off the menu along with a few appetizers. I didn't try the gyro burger because it was very raw on the inside. It was lamb and wagyu but I prefer my burger meats to be cooked all the way through. My friends said it was sweet and it's probably because they glazed the bun. The fat bastard oysters were too big for my liking. There's also gelato on top which was weird because it made the oyster taste like it was partially frozen. I don't recommend this. The rolls tasted like biscuits. It was crumbly and it wasn't expected for a nice restaurant. The heirloom tomato pastry was my favorite dish of the night. The half sashimi trout was more like a stew in sweet sauce. The baby yellow potatoes were just added without any seasonings. Assuming it should soak in the sweet juices? I didn't care for it. Trout was good, but preferred that the skin was crispy, which was extremely soggy, drowned in the sauce. Server asked if I wanted bread to drink the sauce and sure. Why not. It may taste better with regular bread and it wasn't. You can also skip valet parking if you just walk an extra minute down the parking lot. I forgot what one of the desserts name but it was the one with butter cake. This was extremely sweet too with the gooey caramel sauce. The donut was ridiculously expensive at $16 with a little honeycomb decoration. Nothing special with the desserts. Overall, everything is sweet here. Their menu is a lot and I feel like the burger menu can be a little too much and trying too hard to be fancy.

We started off with the crispy Brussels sprouts - to say it's the best Brussels sprout I've ever had would be an understatement. The texture of them is out of this world, the apple cider vinegar that glazes them is perfect. The sweet acidity of that glaze is an incredible accompaniment to the sprouts, almonds, and cheese. Next we shared the celeriac blue cheese emulsion and wedge salad. The emulsion was delicious. The herb vinaigrette on our salad was delightful. I ordered the wagyu for my entree and to put it simply - it was a joy to eat. The plating was beautiful. Every part of the dish was sensational. My boyfriend ordered the lamb shank and the lamb fell off the bone and the potato it was served with was unbelievable! I felt so joyful during my entire dinner service. It is most certainly one of the best meals I have ever had. Highly, highly, recommend. Cannot wait to come back.

The crab cakes had not one piece of lump crab and they were mush, like baby food and doused in a sour sauce, most likely to disguise the mush.
