    Violet Harvest Salad! Crisp and delicious!!
    Daisy R.

    I had such a delightful meal with my husband, that I decided to bring my friend to celebrate her birthday!! We both started off with blackberry mimosas! Phenomenal!! She had the French dip sandwich and I had the BLAT sandwich!! Both were amazing!! For dessert she got a Nitro stout and I got a regular mimosa and banana cream pie! So delicious!!! Our server took such great care of us!! I love the decor and vibe as well! Can't wait to come back and try more delicious food and drinks!!

    We had breakfast since we were here as soon as it opens at 9am. The salad is very flavorful, the porches eggs for the Bene is perfect. English muffins felt like homemade. Nicx is great (I hope I spell the name correctly). Wallpaper is gorgeous. Can't wait to sit at the patio when the weather is nicer. There are other dishes that I want to try. Love this neighborhood bistro.

    Great little restaurant located in the middle of a residential area! Street parking only but went on a weekday and parking wasn't a problem. Service is friendly and helpful! Beautifully decorated - they do offer brunch on the weekends Loved their menu lots of offerings to suit many tastebuds! I opted for their hamburger which was very good and it came with fries - Overall a good lunch and will be back to try more menu items

    Hands down the best French dip I've had! I always worry about horseradish sauce because I'm not the biggest fan, but the horseradish aoli is creamy with the perfect hint of heat. LOVED it! The crispy onion straws add a nice crunch!! The side salad was light and refreshing to pair with the sandwich. Service was excellent and the vibe was so much fun!! I definitely want to swing by to try breakfast options & pastries - they were very hard to turn down!!

    Came on a Sunday at 1pm and got seated right away! This is a cute place with a small interior but they have a large tent outside for more seating. Our server, Nick, was super attentive and super helpful! As for the food, everyone in my party liked what they got! Their desserts also look so delicious and we got a few of those too. I would highly recommend this place for a Sunday brunch or a cute date spot!

    Neighborhood gem alert! We were on the hunt for a new lunch spot and stumbled upon Violet, tucked charmingly into a quiet neighborhood. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome. We opted for the dog-friendly outdoor patio--partially covered and equipped with heaters for those chillier days. A nice touch! Bonus points for the separate doggie entrance on the side, which made bringing our pup a breeze. Always love when places think through the details for dog parents. The lunch menu is fresh, inviting, and even includes a solid selection of wine, sparkling options, beer, and cider. We kept it simple this time with good ol' H2O, but the drink list definitely caught our eye. We kicked things off with Not Your Grandma's Deviled Eggs--and they absolutely lived up to the name. Perfectly pickled with a creamy, well-balanced filling, and that little pickle spear crunch on top? Chef's kiss. Next, we shared the Kale & Romaine Caesar. Unique and crunchy, with capers standing in for croutons (genius!). I'd just ask for a little extra dressing next time to really bring it home. Then came the Prosciutto & Rosemary Pinsa--yes, PINSA, not pizza. The crust was perfectly cooked, and the rosemary aroma was heavenly. Crisp, savory, and deeply satisfying. Our server was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and happy to answer questions. On our way out, we peeked at the dessert case (yes, we're already planning our return). Those cannoli looked like they're ready to be our next craving. Violet is definitely on our "come back soon" list.

    You know when you're just craving a good classic BLT? Yeah, Violet hit the spot with this craving. It wasn't overly complicated and came with everything it needed to, plus the A for avocado. I was the only customer on a weekday afternoon for lunch and there were about 3 people working, all whom provided a warm and lovely experience. The decor is super cute and makes you feel like you're invited into a well-decorated home. I love how the restaurant is situated in a neighborhood because it adds to the homey atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to try their jerk chicken!

    Loved the violet water glasses, and my lavender limeade was perfect.

    We were looking for a lunch spot between dentist and medical appointments in SLC, and what an amazing find Violet was, thanks to Yelp recommendations! The menu is perfect for us - my husband eats meat, while I do not - and there are plenty of meal options for vegans, vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. We ate outside on the pleasant patio, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and delicious food (hubby = B.L.T.A. and me = Violet Harvest salad), along with the attentive & personable owner. Another thing we really appreciated was the environmentally friendly boxes for our leftovers vs styrofoam or plastic. This is definitely a new favorite and we highly recommend!

    Greek chicken
    Louis C.

    It's in a very odd spot. It sits on a very residential road. Ambiance is just ok. It has a nice outside but the inside seems very awkward. It's not warm or comfortable and it has an awkward last supper painting with dead rockstars. Food overall was good but the chicken with the Greek salad was kinda cold. It was warm. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be hot or cold. Could have gone either way. The desserts were good especially the berry cobbler but they were served in odd Dixie cup like paper products. I would like my deserts in a real bowl or cassoulet The best part was the service. They were so kind and wonderful and did everything to make our meal the best it could. I just think some of the food could be better elevated.

    Eggs Bene
    Raha M.

    Such a cute restaurant! My favorite color is violet, so the name by itself caught my attention. When I came here for brunch, I ordered the eggs bene which may just be the best I've had. The hollandaise sauce was absolutely incredible. The whole thing was delicious and I really appreciated the little violet sprinkles on top. As I looked around me, I noticed some violet drinks and other foods with violet sprinkles. I just love the whole violet theme! The outdoor seating was lovely and the service was wonderful. I'm excited to come back and try more things when I get the chance.

    Violet was a cute little restaurant in the middle of a neighborhood. Our waiter Derek was really nice and a fantastic waiter. I got the Honey Hot Crispy Chicken sandwich. I upgraded my french fries to garlic fries. I enjoyed the sandwich but would do a salad for my side next time. You will have to find a parking spot on the street in the neighborhood.

    Lavender italian soda
    Asena E.

    The service was really good. Nice and attentive waiter. The italian soda was good and looked really cute. I felt like our food was kinda small which left me wanting a little more but the taste was good. Good vibes overall

Well, I must have loved it since I went twice!! First day tried the BLT as well as a chocolate croissant which is to seriously die for, it is a must. Kiaya (lord I hope that is right) was my server and she was excellent. I had a Pellegrino Blood Orange soda along with my lunch and loved the salad dressing as well! The sandwich was with 1/2 salad and 1/2 potatoes, yum yum. The second time, I had Connor (he will remember Sheldon) who served me. He was awesome. I tried out a blueberry mimosa, an iced mocha and a water (I had been walking a lot and was tired and thirsty, don't judge). Then I just wanted that dang BLT again! I also ordered another almond chocolate croissant (I know, I know, should have tried something else). Well I did get a cookie too! My lunch was taking a little long, so they also brought out a couple of pastry items to try as well, so yum yum! The Chocolate Macaroon was also so wonderful and I cannot say enough about this quaint spot. It did fill up during lunch on the Thursday, so get there early or late! PROS: Main street, easy access from transportation/offices Great selection of homemade pastries Nice choices for drinks (obviously, I tried a few) Super quaint bistro style inside Outside seating under shade and a tree Attentive and exceptional employees (CONNOR) CONS: Parking may be an issue, although some on-street parking available DON'T THINK, JUST GO!

Thankfully, no reservation was needed but it was still really busy. We were able to get seating next to the window; however I do wish the spacing between tables were a little bit bigger, as it feels like everyone's in each other's conversations and forces you to be friends with your neighbors. Not ideal when you're on a date night or trying to be intimate with someone. For drinks, we were interested in trying something before ordering a bottle or a glass. I didn't realize that for a wine sampling like that, it was $3 bucks... We got just a glass, and I went for a custom cocktail. ON the bill, they call it a "bar roulette," and that ran me $20 bucks... yesh, but ok!!! Dinner choices for us were the Clam Chowder & Wagyu Steak. The claim chowder presentation was definitely unexpected as it didn't resemble a Soup as expected. The changing of menus so I was good and I was good to see a couple things still there, but also familiar with some of the new stuff that I saw being delivered did leave me scratching my head.

    We were visiting Salt Lake City from out of town and decided to have dinner at Urban Hill after…read morereading the outstanding reviews. Like many people, we were excited to dine at a restaurant led by a chef who has beaten Bobby Flay. We arrived for our 8:15 p.m. reservation and were seated promptly. Unfortunately, from that point on, the service became increasingly confusing. Our server seemed flustered from the beginning and even commented that she wanted to make sure everything was right for our experience. When ordering drinks, I asked for a root beer and was told they had one. A few minutes later I was informed they actually didn't and was given a Dr Pepper instead. No big deal--I didn't want to make an issue of it. The bigger problems started with the food service. There were three of us. Two ordered the filet, and one ordered the chicken. The first entrées brought to our table weren't ours at all and had to be taken away. When our actual meals arrived, they were still mixed up. I was served the chicken despite ordering the filet. The same thing happened with dessert. We ordered two Baked Alaskas and one Lemon Cake. Again, the desserts were delivered to the wrong people. These weren't major issues individually, but when they happen repeatedly throughout one meal, it takes away from what should have been an outstanding dining experience. Now for the positive... The kitchen absolutely delivered. The filet was cooked perfectly. The chicken was outstanding. Presentation was beautiful. The Baked Alaska was one of the best I've had. The food easily earns five stars. Unfortunately, the front-of-house experience did not. To make matters worse, after I finished the Dr Pepper that I hadn't originally ordered, my glass sat empty for roughly 45 minutes. No refill was offered, and I eventually had to ask for another beverage while dessert was being served. One final observation... The receipt included an optional surcharge for the back-of-house staff. I understand it could be removed upon request, but I don't believe guests should be placed in the position of deciding how restaurant employees are compensated. Pay your team well, price the menu accordingly, and let guests simply enjoy their meal. Urban Hill has one of the most talented kitchens I've experienced in quite some time. If the service can reach the same level as the food, this restaurant would easily deserve five stars.

Someone also mentioned the wait is long. The restaurant isn't huge, and if you go at a time when everyone else is also going, usually any time after 9, then of course it'll be busy. Go early and it'll be faster, but either way, the wait is completely worth it. Thank you, to the Our Kitchen Cafe family for being so kind to me and my family.
