My friends were visiting from the Bay Area, so we decided to try Communal for brunch today…read more The ambiance was intimate and rustic with a touch of sophistication. We ordered breakfast burrito, mochi pancake, egg Benedict and a green salad with grilled chicken. I had the salad, and it was absolutely delicious! The grilled chicken was moist, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The fresh locally grown vegetables and pear made the salad even more enjoyable. I genuinely loved every bite! Coming from the Bay area, exploring the food scene in UT hasn't always lived up to my expectations. But I can honestly say Communal delivered the quality and flavors I have been missing! I highly recommend this restaurant. It is definitely worth a visit.

5 stars for Angelo…read more My boyfriend and I are road-tripping from LA and stopped in Provo looking for something other than fast food. We found Communal and the reviews were great, but honestly, **the customer service was even better!** We had our two dogs with us, so I called in a takeout order and Angelo was SO kind and helpful. I always feel like a phone call is the first impression of a place, and he immediately gave us such a good vibe. When we came in, they were clearly slammed with only Angelo and another sweet girl working, but you never would've known it from his service. I'd honestly come back for the service alone! Also, my boyfriend LOVED the French dip steak sandwich, and the sourdough is a must in my opinion :)

Excellent food. We…read morecame around 5:15 and were told that they were all full up with reservations, BUT she could seat us until 6:00. No problem. That was very nice to offer. We came because we wanted gourmet burgers. Turns out that their two burgers were bison burger. No thanks. No matter. My friend and I had the Traditional Navajo Taco(s) and his wife had the Sheep's Steak Salad. Everything was delicious. I put the "s" in parentheses because the menu is in plural but it really is just one taco. The Navajo Taco description from their website: Our Navajo tacos are a true taste of tradition--crispy, fluffy fry bread tacos topped with flavorful ingredients, served alongside cilantro-lime rice and pinto beans. Whether you're searching for Indian tacos near you, Navajo food, or the best tacos in Provo, this dish hits the spot. Find out why so many call this the top Navajo taco at one of the most authentic Navajo restaurants around. Also known as Navaho tacos, it's a must-try comfort food. It was excellent. The fry bread was nice and spongy and the toppings were flavorful. The refried beans and the rice were also excellent. Not just good, but excellent. She really enjoyed her steak salad as well. All in all a really good meal, didn't even miss the gourmet burgers. So yes, you better make a reservation. And this was a Thursday night. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

Every single course delivered…read more We started with honey butter and rolls (dangerous in the best way), then moved to the ricotta and focaccia; perfectly balanced and honestly could've stopped there and been happy. But then came the steak, which was flat-out the best I've had in years. No notes. Here's the thing though, I'm not a gnocchi person. Never have been. Our server talked me into it anyway, and I'm genuinely grateful. It's a short rib and stew situation with gnocchi that somehow hits every note perfectly. Total convert now. And the s'mores pie to close out the night? Simply perfect. Don't skip it. The service was great too, our server clearly knew the menu inside and out and steered us exactly right.

This is an update now that they have added the breakfast option. We came in on a Tuesday for…read morebreakfast and coffee. They are sorting out the issues, but it's obvious it will be an excellent option. They have fresh pastries and a solid breakfast menu. The service was excellent, and my "standard" breakfast of sausage, eggs, roasted tomato (ta mah toh), and potatoes were both huge and delicious. I bring up the phonetic sounding of the tomato because it very much brings to mind a breakfast place in England or Ireland. The latte and proper macchiato were excellent too. I expect this to be a regular thing.

Once our server finally appeared we ordered a round of drinks and our dinner. Luckily service from then on out was good. I had the BLTA croissant as I always do. It's definitely not as full with meat as it used to be but was still excellent. The fries as always were also very tasty. Love RR's fry sauce. Tastes like a chipotle seasoned fry sauce. A bit of a Smokey kick if you will. I've always had a huge heart for Red Robin and I'm glad we stopped in for date night tonight.

That said, the food is a definite plus with the chicken wings so juicy and the portions great.

I was here for business and had an early start so I couldn't wait for the restaraunts locally to…read moreopen. I came in and was seated immediatley. The server was attentive to my needs, took enough time to have conversation, but also left me to enjoy my meal. Being a restaraunt in a hotel the decor was pretty plain. Open with tables closer together than most would prefer. I really wanted the buffet to get started. Most companies are not as generous as mine giving me a $25 allowance for breakfast, but even at that a $22 buffet does not leave room to leave the server a reasonable tip. They should take this into consideration when pricing. There are many other breakfast buffets that are priced much more favorably and usually have a bigger selection. I opted for the western omlette. It was served with potatos which were fine. The omlette taste fine but was really scrambled eggs with ham and veggies mixed in, cooked, then folded in half and topped with cheese. An omlette with the veggies and cheese stuffed inside a thin egg base is always so much better. Hotel food is usually about convenience, so I got what I expected, decent service, acceptable food and a price point higher than average.

Our extended family came here for a late lunch immediately after our son's wedding and had a…read morefantastic experience! The setting was elegant but relaxed, everyone loved their meals, and our server Sariah was phenomenal- so attentive and welcoming! We couldn't have asked for a better wedding lunch. Sariah and her team handled our party of 14 flawlessly. Between us all I think we must've sampled almost everything on the menu haha! We tried the braised lamb shank, salmon filet, French onion soup, lemon roasted chicken, chicken tortellini, manhattan steak, and even the Ruben sandwich. It was all fantastic and cooked to perfection. Service starts with drinks, buttery dinner rolls (delicious!), and an unexpected delectable amuse-bouche of dried fig and honey on top of a slice of Parmesan - it was lovely and a very elegant start to the meal. For drinks, Sariah recommended the lemonades as they are the house specialty and made fresh - so hubby and I tried a raspberry lemonade and a blackberry lemonade. They were refreshing, delicious, and not too sweet. Not too long after, all the food came out. The meal finishes with a complimentary plate of hard lemon candies which was a nice touch. The decor in the main dining room is lemon tree themed and I absolutely loved it! It's cozy and fun - like dining in a lemon orchard. But unfortunately they sat us in a back room that felt a lot more flat - almost like a conference room. It would've really made our whole experience that much better if it had also been decorated in their lemon tree theme - and that really is my only complaint. But the room was elegant enough and very private for our little family party. So it isn't really much of a complaint and certainly not enough of an issue to detract from the overall experience - just something to be aware of. We had a lot of "preferences" we had to consider in finding a restaurant for my son's big day, so after an extensive search, we settled on La Jolla Groves for its elegant atmosphere and accommodating menu and we were more than satisfied. I easily made reservations online but also spoke to them on the phone to confirm and ask some questions. They do require a credit card to secure the reservation for a large party (we had 14 guests) but there's no charge for making the reservation - only if you cancel on very short notice. They're located in a large shopping area with plenty of parking. They're kind of behind the stores but there are maps on site to help you find the entrance. Thanks again to Sariah and La Jolla Groves for taking such great care of us on our special day!

First off, Tony was amazing!! Fellow beer lover, though from the lighter side of brews, he was…read moreknowledgeable and super helpful. They had about 12 beers on tap from their brewery, as well as hard ciders on tap, red and white wines, and a whole cocktail and spirits menu. Also craft sodas and juices. We ordered pizza, which was really good. And a variety of beers to try. Great rustic ambiance with 80's rock playing at a good volume (could enjoy it and didn't have to yell to be heard). One large screen TV over the bar showing an NFL game. Will definitely be back next summer when. We drive past.

We have been here numerous times, but this time it feels like it's gone downhill. The hostess…read moregreeted and sat us immediately. The waiter did a decent job, but didn't seem familiar with the menu. The beers were cold and crisp. However, my glass a a decent sized chip in it. Obviously the female bartender was too busy with her phone, and a patron at the bar, to notice it. The downside... We both tried to order the Ahi Tuna entree. The waiter told us they had run out of Tuna 20 minutes earlier. It was still early in the evening so we were both surprised. It was not overly busy or crowded. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak. Peppers, Onions, and Mushrooms are extra $. I was supposed to have an option of a side, but it was never offered so it came with fries. The cup of Au Jus is too small to dip the sandwich in, even after I cut it in half. The salmon salad was filling but the salmon is over salted. We overheard the table next to us trying to order a kid's pizza. They were told there was no cheese for it. After reading other reviews, I agree this is not the same place we enjoy stopping at for dinner after being on the road for 12 hours

I had a hard time eating mine so I got a to-go box to take half of it home; my fiancé also had some left over. The portion was was large which was nice, but I usually finish mine when it's not so salty. The guacamole on top was barely edible. I also noticed that here, they put a large amount of the dressing on top; at the Park City location, they put the dressing on the side. The place was nice and spacious, the staff was nice, and the service was fast. The food did look quite fresh behind the counter. I think that if they can nail the details like the dressing on the side and the saltiness, they will do great. Overall, I'm very glad that a Vessel Kitchen is finally open in the Provo/Orem area!
