Lo M.

We were craving something healthy and filling, and decided to get some Vessel Kitchen! The poke bowl was incredible and super balanced. The fish was fresh and I felt super nourished after eating it. The only downside was that it took a really long time to get our food. We were waiting for about half an hour to get our takeout.

You can customize a plate with choice of protein then two sides! braised beef + petah and hummus + miso sesame couscous.

The space is on point; it is a very modern vibe with fast food service, but fine dining feel. Perfect meetup, date or even solo lunch spot. The food is clearly made with real ingredients with very diverse choices to appeal to everyone. Price is about high medium range 36$ for two people, but for great food and a pleasing amount of leftovers I like the price. I already love 9th and 9th, but this place has been added to my favorites.

HASH HASH (D, S, E)
Bristol L.

I had a group lunch with my team delivered from Uber Eats from this restaurant. It was actually my first time trying it and they had a lot of healthy options. I opted for the hash hash. Which comes with braised beef, sweet potatoes, and feta cheese. Personally, it was a little too sweet for me. I'd prefer more of a savory flavor. My coworker, however really enjoyed the dish. I will say the portion sizes are very big. I was able to split mine between two people.

POKE TUNA (T, G, S, SE)
Stacie V.

Healthy and affordable meals! I got the tuna poke and had to save the other half for another meal, because they're sizable portions. There's plenty of seating, and it was a very family-friendly place. I love how the takeout containers are within reach. Funny how they knew people would need them because of the size of their plates/bowls.

HASH HASH (D, S, E)

I loved the design of this building, such care was taken with the details. It was also super clean and orderly. The drawback for me was that the menu board's font was way too small. To be said, there are some printed menus in a little container of the wall but I didn't see that at first. I ordered the Hash Hash, looking to try something new. I haven't had horseradish in awhile and it was a good reminder that less is more. I did love the braised beef and pickled onion-so delish! I would say that the service was just okay. Efficient but not very polite or welcoming.

Food Setup
Michael S.

Haven't been here in a while and I don't remember it being so dirty. All of the serving utensils are either half in the uncovered food or has leftover bits that are left out to get to room temperature, which is definitely how food borne pathogens are spread. Not only that, no one is using gloves so when they grab the food, they place the contaminated tongs back inside where the food is, again another vector of pathogen transmission. Might as well be using their hands. For a "health food" joint I find it to be quite ironic.

OMG Habanero Ginger. Mashers. Falafel. Kale Caesar.
A C.

One of the best restaurants I've passed through this past year. Everything is truly fantastic. If you favor spice, the ginger habanero salsa which they charge extra for is well worth it. It's $1, so it's almost free. It is freshly made with ample ginger daily. WOW! One ramekin of this spicy add-on is almost not enough. Some people might find themselves drinking it. Lolzsies. Kidding not kidding. Really remarkable and worth coming back for alone. Sorry for the fork on dish photo, I clearly got ahead of myself. Located at 9th and 9th or as I call the area, the nines. Vessel Kitchen is THE place to take your tastebuds..."to the nines"...as the old expression goes. :)

Samantha G.

After spending days around Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming trying to find a healthy alternative to the fried foods and pizzas around, we finally came across Vessel Kitchen! The food was so delicious and was absolutely refreshing during our week of garbage dieting. Service was friendly, and the ambiance was beautiful. I loved the high ceilings, big windows, and bright interiors. The restaurant was clean and welcoming!

Utah Hash , Cucumber salad, Uncle Rico
Debbie L.

Was pleasantly surprised by the amazing menu. Great staff and service. The food....well.... YUM! we ordered the Uncle Rico, Utah Hash, and cucumber salad. Good portions and very tasty. Perfect location as it is a fantastic walking neighborhood.

Isaac R.

I'm not a salad healthy eater, but this place has good healthy options, but the chicken protein, I just didn't like the taste. It had that strong chicken flavor.

Amazing little farm to table restaurant serving artisanal dishes in a charming space…read more Went with the Lamb Crepinette which I was a little worried to order as lamb can be fatty. But wow, this dish was out of this world. Braised lamb is then crisped on a grill, served over a bed of roasted vegetables with a crème sauce. One of the best things I've ever eaten. Also ordered the sourdough, again so good - crunchy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. Started with a martini (they have my favorite - Belvedere, A+ for that) which was perfect, and a glass of wine which I enjoyed. For dessert we loved the Olive oil cake.

So really looking for guidance, I asked the server for vegetarian recommendations and then she came back that they had just gotten some lion's mane mushroom in and the chef could create a dish just for me also including rice and peppers.

I love that the feature local and seasonal ingredients and really showed off their scratch made capabilities by creating a unique dish on the fly. My favorite item was the mushroom toast!

Honestly the cheese course was not my favorite. It was good cheese, but I didn't think the greens paired well with it so it really was just cheese, which I found a little disappointing. However the entrees more than made up for it. The pasta especially was absolutely delicious, the braised beef cheek was cooked so perfectly it melted in my mouth. Not to mention I ended up breaking out in hives at the start of the meal (unrelated to the food) and the staff was so kind. They quickly boxed our food and even brought me some Claritin to help tide me over. The food was piping hot when they boxed it and traveled beautifully, which was a bonus for sure. For brunch, my husband had the burger with a fried egg and I had their special of the day: chilaquiles. This might have been the best chilaquiles I've had in the valley. The pork was delicious, the poached egg was actually perfect, and the chips still kept their crunch which is usually my biggest gripe. I didn't try the burger, but my husband was raving about it. I would highly recommend Oquirrh.

However, additional details create a loving connection - its off-Broadway central location, the copper-paneled ceiling that mimics warm conversations in varied spaces (cocktail, chef's counter, expandable tables for groups, and outdoor), fresh, locally-sourced ingredients with service to match. It's the place where I had my first glass of Turley Zinfandel (education alongside), and the place I will always return for my favorite Wagyu Beef Stroganoff (a comfort from home, but upscale). This one delivered with large, firm, expertly seasoned portobello & forest mushrooms over wide, freshly handmade pappardelle pasta that soaks up rich beef stock (a touch of black pepper) blended with crème fraîche. A generous portion of wagyu is tender and rich. PRO TIP: Mix then let it sit & marinade a minute - flavor pays in dividends. For dessert, a Valhrona Chocolate Pudding topped with whip cream and Maldon flake salt - exquisite, but expensive. The texture is comforting and delicious - olive oil adds a lingering finish with slight fruit.

We had such an amazing dinner at Franklin Ave! We came in for Mike's birthday, and everything from…read morethe food to the service was incredible. You can really tell how much care goes into the menu everything tastes fresh, thoughtful, and truly made in-house. I started with the nonalcoholic cucumber spritz, which was SO refreshing. Mike had a version made with rum, and Brittney had the Charcuterie Tears cocktail, which was such a fun and unique drink. For dinner, I had the sea bass and it was absolutely phenomenal. The coconut rice, red curry, snap peas, and charred pineapple worked so well together easily one of my favorite meals of the trip. Mike had the Wagyu steak, which was cooked beautifully, and Brittney ordered the special: agnolotti with short rib plus a stuffed fried poblano pepper filled with even more short rib. That dish was honestly surreal. Everything we tried was delicious. The service made the experience even better. Our waitress, Rose, was awesome, attentive, friendly, and made the whole dinner feel special. Hannah, the manager, was also incredibly sweet and welcoming. We felt genuinely taken care of from the moment we arrived. Brittney used to work here, so we already knew Franklin Ave had a great reputation, but actually experiencing it ourselves completely lived up to the hype. Amazing food, creative drinks, wonderful people, and such a great atmosphere. We will absolutely be back the next time we're in Salt Lake City.

My cousin and I were excited to attend Roux. We had walked past the restaurant on several occasions…read moreand last night we finally found the right occasion to walk in. Upon entering, the evening seemed promising. The ambiance was moody and intimate, the host was astute and welcoming, and the tile work was beautiful. As the night wore on, however, things slowly stopped adding up to a delicious dining experience. The first thing was the waitress. Apparently the host was also the waitress... and the bartender... and the busser - not that you would know it because of how attentive she was, but shortly after getting our small plates I mentioned to my cousin that I hadn't seen any other person working in the restaurant. While I knew that couldn't be true, I was facing into the restaurant and I only ever saw two other men casually saunter out from the kitchen, look around, and saunter back. No one looked excited to be working there, but the two men who appeared from the kitchen gave me no sense of urgency or purpose, only just that they were extremely bored. The second thing that didn't add up was the Farm to Table narrative. As our Swiss Army Server (thanks for that one, Dimitri) was opening up our wine and recommending dishes, I asked where the farm was located. Apparently, the farm is located in California, and this "farm" owns several other "Farm to Table" restaurants... hmmm... When it came to ordering, we were instructed to order all of our dishes upfront, but that they would come out in courses... While things rolled out like that, the way we were required to order and the way our food came out gave the distinct impression that they weren't dishes being made to order - only delivered to the table in such a way as to give the illusion that they were. Dishes you would expect to come out hot came out room temperature. Dishes you would expect to come out chilled came out room temperature. When each course came out they came out one dish at a time, but one immediately after another... almost like they had been sitting on a table in the kitchen just waiting for anyone to order them. The final, and perhaps most telling thing that didn't add up, was the distinct lack of any smell coming from the kitchen - let alone the restaurant. Only after we left the establishment did we realize how fresh and clean the air smelled. As a home chef, I understand that not every dish calls for garlic and onion, but what about salt? What about pepper? What about any kind of butter or seasoning or even a maillard reaction? In this day and age of salted dark chocolate caramels and umami, attempting any dish completely void of salt is a brave choice, but it's certainly not a heroic one. I mean, we're talking about a restaurant that cooks and serves a filleted trout with its head still attached, eyes buggin' out, bones in, the works! How are we not smelling the fish when it hits the table‽ Have you ever plugged your nose while you tasted something?... Exactly... To finally wrap this review up - the reason why I'm giving this experience 1 star is because the service was attentive, the beet salad was good, and the rest made us laugh uncontrollably at how bad it was. The potato pave was a fun gimmick, and the brussel sprouts were crispy but the pork tenderloin and the fish had no smell, no recordable temperature, and the only flavor I could identify was... dusty dirty mop water? I just don't know... we even tried to load up bites of pork and fish with the polenta, the sautéd and pickled greens, and the "sauces", but nothing helped... if anything, it made things taste worse... truly, I've never been closer to becoming a vegan. People will say we should've just sent back the food, but I've worked in food and bar service. How does requiring that level of service from your waitress for your patrons even begin to make up for a business model whose only job is to make food taste good? After all, I can get that level of service from McDonalds, even though I've never had an experience that required it from them... If you do decide to go to Roux for your next meal, maybe make it breakfast... from my experience, breakfast is a hard meal to mess up.

We had hoped for a more intimate atmosphere for our night out, however, the restaurant is definitely more lively and louder than a quiet intimate dinner out. There must have been a notable person sitting next to us because everyone it seemed that worked in the restaurant stopped by the table and had a conversation with this couple, and when the chef came out and walked right by us to have a conversation with the table next to us, that's when it dawned on me as a chef doesn't normally come out just to talk to a normal person like us. It was a little bit irritating with all the hoopla at the table next to us which put a little bit of damper on our anniversary meal. Especially when our waiter devoted significant time to the "special" table leaving us feeling a bit neglected in a top-tier restaurant like Urban Hill. However, the meal itself was delicious.
