5 star rating, 5 star hotelThe service was impeccable. From the moment I pulled up to the front and had my car valeted to check out I was treated like a princess. I came here for a business trip and was so excited to be staying somewhere so luxurious.Each night I would come back from a long day of standing on my feet to a packet of bath salts, a fresh robe, slippers & chocolate. Best way to end a busy work day! Bathroom was beautiful with a huge soaking tub & a glass door shower separate. Thereâs a vanity area inside the bathroom & also outside the bathroom doors. Bed was comfortable with different types of pillow perfect for anyone! Room service was top notch. They even folded all my dirty clothes and put them in a dirty laundry bag! In the room thereâs a plant you can take home for a certain cost. You can order room service or thereâs restaurant options. Light rail is right outside the hotel for easy transport. Valet onsite. Gym onsite. Spa onsite.What more could a business traveler ask for?!PS - free coffee and treats available in the lobby in the morning as well as water & cookies available during the day

Everyone is right- the biscuits here are amazing! I ordered the biscuits benedict and my only complaint about it was that the poached eggs were overcooked- they were more like hard boiled eggs and not very good. I also got a raspberry orange lemonade which was slightly watered down and not very cold, so Iâll pass on the lemonade next time. Still, the biscuits were the star of the meal and I will definitely be back for more.

Feldman's Deli is a charming cafe setting where New York chic meets ski chalet comfort. As the only deli in the area that serves authentic Jewish Deli sandwiches and Old World specialties, we offer those in SLC an authentic taste of the North East. Nestle

This was a great find on a recent trip to Salt Lake City. The sandwiches were huge and so tasty. Shop is small with about 15 tables. They serve breakfast and lunch and then close at 3pm. We asked for a recommendation from our server and my husband went with the Sloppy Joe(corned beef, pastrami, thousand island dressing and coleslaw. See the pictures, it is gigantic! We should have shared it. I guess most people do. I ordered the Combo pastrami and corned beef, a little smaller and more manageable to eat. It comes on great Jewish rye but is too soft for all the meat. The sandwich fell apart and I ended up eating it with a fork. Food was wonderful and well priced for the portion.Thanks for your feedback...bread is an issue in SLC, since with only 10% environmental humidity, it has to stay in plastic bags, to not go stale, and that does soften the texture, somewhat. But the recipe is from the family bakery back in NJ. Glad you enjoyed!

Breakfast or lunch I read is fantastic, indeed it was.Had the Scandinavian weinerschnitzel $15.59. Their version appeared to be ground beef rather than pounded beef but nevertheless still very tasty especially with the lemon slices and capers. Fingerling potatoes and asparagus in a delicious lingoberries gravy, I practically licked the plate clean. That's after the swedish meatballs soup and a crunchy onion roll.And seeing that they have many items that were baked on premise, I just can't resist trying their poopy seed cream cheese pastry and the raspberry marzipan roll. Out of this world fabulous.Service was attentive and friendly.All these in an relaxed bistro environment with a lovely outdoor garden eating area as well.

I have eaten at Pats a lot. And I have reviewed a few times. Their menu has changed a little lately.. not the items but the way to order them. I like the old way better, but it isn't a deal breaker. It also seems like there is less live music than previously offered. Parking still a challenge during busy meal periods.

Reviewed By Rob N
Walked two miles to enjoy an evening dinner with friends. Ordered and never received our food. The first time we checked on our food status after waiting 30 minutes we were told it would be out in a minute or two. After waiting almost another 10 minutes and going back and asking for a refund we were told we would have to wait in line. Needless to say I did not wait in line. Turns out that didn't matter because no one there knew how to process a refund. This place consistently disappoints on one end of the spectrum or the other whether it is with service or quality of food or lack thereof more appropriately. It's overpriced and over sensationalized. This place is a modern-day dive. Tried to order a Stella at the bar and they don't carry Stella and the bartender had no idea what to offer as a similar replacement. I've tried this place since the day it opened in its new location multiple times but never again. It's time for ownership to give up the ghost and get somebody in there that knows the industry and how to run a business. Poor customer service, inconsistency in the quality of food and poorly trained staff. Tonight's incident was not related to being busy. The place was about two-thirds empty. Stay away. Drive somewhere else.

Had a late lunch here with wife, two daughters and a son-in-Law. They recommended that we stop here. My wife and I had previously not been there before. Selections of sandwiches, soups and salads was excellent. The Chicken Maison Salad was recommended and selected by two of our party. Excellent choice!!! Very filling, tasteful with a large variety of ingredients. I would definitely have it again. All entrees ordered were delivered in a timely manner and very well received. They even provided a 5 percent military discount. Service was quick, accurate and frequent. Didnât lack for anything - at all. Put this on your checklist and enjoy

This place is amazing. The portions are plentiful. The dishes tasty. The service, amazing. We actually met Penny Ann, AND Penny Ann's mom. When Penny Ann saw something she did not like about my wife's breakfast, she fixed it!!!! We said it was fine, but she insisted on making it better. The portions are HUGE and the food was great. We cannot imagine visiting Salt Lake City again without eating here. Thank you for a great breakfast and a great experience. Wonderful way to begin the day. Thank you for the great review! We are so glad that you found us and look forward to seeing you on your next visit to Salt Lake.

We had only breakfast dishes and they were very good and simple; not simple like lacking flavor, but simple in the fact that they were your regular burritos, french toast and eggs; so you will not find anything special here, the burger looked really good though. The attention was good, and the price was very cheap.Only complaint is the wait time, the place is very busy so we waited ~45 minutes to be seated. We were in no rush so we decided to wait, was it worth it? Maybe not.

This sports bar is located near the downtown area and has a very nice outdoor seating area. Inside there are lots of TVs showing what sports event might be going on at the time. The bar seating area is large and is surrounded by lots of booths and tables. There is also a separate room with a pool table. The food is pretty standard sports bar fare. The menu does have something for just about everyone. We started with the pretzel bites and cheese. The cheese was a little thin but had good flavor. The Cobb salad had all the fresh ingredients and the homemade ranch is a do not miss. My wife the chicken sandwich which was seasoned well. Our server was very friendly and attentive to our needs.
