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.

We ordered the Beets & Balsamic appetizer and everything about it was wonderful. Both entrees (salmon and short rib ravioli) were both full of flavor and cooked well. The seating was comfortable. It wasn't loud inside so you could easily have a conversation. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back and would recommend this restaurant.

The highlight of the whole dining experience though was our server, Win. He was informative and helpful but so much fun. We now have a new friend that we hope to come back and see. The ambience was also consistent with a fine dining establishment. We'll be back!

It had a great menu with all the gluten free items clearly marked! I had a lemonade mocktail that was delicious but sadly no refills. I ordered the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly honestly the best ribeye I've had in Utah. My mom had the lettuce wraps and my sister got their pizza. We were all very happy with our meal! Honestly a great find! I would come back in a heartbeat!

I feel like the hostess must have unexpectedly been out because the folks managing seating and reservations seemed a little lost. This was our first time here and I was pretty concerned about what the rest of our experience would be. We got to our table and then sat there for 10 minutes without any kind of greeting. Following the disorganization of getting seated, we weren't sure what was happening and almost left. I'm so glad we stayed. Once our server greeted us, it was smooth the rest of the evening. We ordered drinks (Old Fashioned and wine), both were excellent. Someone brought delicious soft rolls with olive oil and balsamic vinegar-excellent. We stuck with tapas and the portions were bigger than expected. We had a whole lineup of items we wanted, but filled up after three. We ordered a charcuterie plate that was an off menu special. Iberico and a truffle manchego cheese and a rosemary manchego cheese served with toasted baguette and grapes. It was delicious! We also ordered the Gambas Al ajillo salsa Roja (shrimp in a red sauce) and the Pulpo à la gallega (octopus). The shrimp were incredible. I could have eaten the sauce with a spoon. Okay, I DID eat the sauce with a spoon and then asked for more bread to sop it up. The octopus was a surprise. My husband ordered it and I was prepared to try a small bite. It was fantastic. The octopus was nicely chewy without being rubbery at all. And it was served with potatoes in a thin sauce that tasted like olive oil and paprika and onion. So good. We looked at the desserts and my heart said yes while my full stomach said no. I almost ordered the crème brûlée cake to go, but decided to come back another day. Our server (Zack) was great! I really think something happened with the hostess because the rest of the evening was so smooth. Very interesting interior. We sat at a small cafe table that felt strangely intimate despite how crowded it was. We'll be back!

Each dish was thoughtfully curated with fantastic, unique, and flavorful sauce profiles. My favorite was the fried chicken upon a small bed of congee- the crispy nuts and other toppings were mouth watering the textures was simply *chefs kiss*.

Why am I only now discovering that calamari can graduate from appetizer status?

Earthy and rich. Between the pizza and that calamari steak, this little spot has officially joined my SLC favorites list.

I need this in Raleigh NC…read more I wanted sushi but almost every roll had raw fish. I wanted cooked sushi. The beef gyoza was a bit too oily. I don't know if it's the gyoza filling or because it was pan fried. But it had a taste that just wasn't for me. Hamachi Kama was good. It sat on a bed of salad and seasoned well. I got a side salad and salmon with yuzu gravy. When I say the yuzu was good...I mean it was GOOD. The citrus, sweetness, buttery blended so well and perfectly paired with the salmon. Chef's kiss. The service was so good that it was too good. They were ready to remove the plate as soon as the last bite went into your mouth. The tables were not too crowded and it's a perfect place to take a date. If I come back to SLC...I will def revisit.

La Finca is a tiny place set inside a house. It feels very cozy, but there is not much space…read more Service was fine and the pacing of the food was good. The wine list is long, though there is not much by the glass. The reds we tried were good. The Crianza was my favorite, young and light but still flavorful, with a subtle dry finish. We ordered tortilla española, torta de cecina, patatas bravas, mejillones, and pinchos morunos. Everything had great flavor. There was some inconsistency with temperature. The patatas came out just warm, while other dishes were very hot. The pinchos morunos turned out to be more like a meatball on a stick. That may have been my misunderstanding, but when I see lamb pincho I expect grilled pieces of lamb. They were tasty, just more basic than I expected. For dessert we had churros. This may be personal preference, but I like to pick up a churro and dip it in chocolate without it breaking apart. These were more like a fried cake in the shape of a churro and required a spoon. They also have what looks like a very nice patio for good weather. I would be a bit concerned about speed of service if the patio is full, since the kitchen seems quite small. Overall, it was a good experience with well executed and flavorful tapas.
