My wife and I stopped in here recently after a day of skiing. We sat at a high top table in the bar area. We did sit for a bit of a long time before we had our first contact with the waitstaff, however after that service was quick and attentive.
The beers were good and very much as described on the menu. The food portions were large and we easily could have split an entree and a salad.

We were looking for a restaurant near the soccer stadium on a trip to SLC, and Trip Advisor steered us to Tiburon. We are very glad that it did. A wonderful little converted home, with a garden in the back, and a very nice patio (although in 100+ degree heat we stayed inside). The food is plated in a bit of a dated fashion, sort of reminiscent of the 90's, but tasted great. The compound butter they bring with the bread that has a hint of shallot, a hint of honey and all sorts of other stuff is amazing. And we were very impressed with the staff who were just wonderful to us. It is more than a bit pricey, but overall a wonderful experience, thanks!

I can't say this is the "bomb" although you might not be able to tell since the place was packed along with a long waiting list. Salt Lake City must be starved for sushi. We made an OpenTable reservation and still waited 30 min to be seated. Sushi was "meh". I am spoiled...but the prices and the wait did not equate to justifying the cons. Keep looking my friends. There's bound to be some Buddist converted Mormon, Japanese Sushi Chefs out there somewhere.

The pancakes really were outstanding—better than I've had in quite some time. My wife had the french toast sandwich, which was unique and bursting with flavor. Bacon was fantastic. Coffee was surprisingly only fair. A great variety of options on the menu. Typical atmosphere for...MoreThank you for taking the time to write a wonderful review.

This place has been around since before forever ago, and it’s easy to see why. I remember eating there at least 30 years ago. Very basic, very old-school family dining with no surprises. I guess that’s good because you know exactly what to expect. And, a little boring because you know exactly what to expect. I think this last visit may have been my last visit. Service was good though. Thanks.

There is just something about the Village Baker that I love. The ingredients they use in their chicken and tuna salad sandwiches are so fresh and light, and the bread is great. I am quite fond of the vegie with provolone on sourdough, my husband loves the chicken wild rice soup. Service is prompt and friendly. Really great!

We were looking for a great place to celebrate the upcoming New Year, and chose Texas Roadhouse because it was highly rated. Happily, it turned out to be a great choice! Our waiter was helpful and speedy. Because we had never been there before, the manager came to our table and offered us a free appetizer, their delicious onion blossom. I loved the choice of sides, which included the choice of a Caesar or house salad. I chose the house salad as one of my sides, and it was not only good but good-sized. The rolls served with cinnamon butter were freshly-baked and delicious. When the main dish came, I was practically full, which was great, because I ate as much as I wanted and then took the rest home for another meal. I ordered prime rib, and it was fantastic! As good as any prime rib in a high-priced restaurant, and it was under $20 (lunch prices). I will definitely be going back. A nice way to usher in the New Year!

I have eaten here a few times and can say that it has some really great menu items. My favorite on is the brisket. The serving size is not to big but for the price it is fair. The restaurant inside is very well laid out. It does not seem to be as noisy as other establishments like this. The service is really great and seats are padded. Nice place to eat.

We had the Pulled pork, boneless chicken, brisket & ribs. The pork , beef & ribs were the best. Next time I will get bone in chicken. I got the potatoe salad and didn't like it, it had some green Wierd stuff in it! My husband got the garlic mashed potatoes, they were good. They were out of rolls at 7:00 on a Friday night, so they gave me a hamburger bun, I made a Pulled pork sandwich, it was good. I would go here again.

With some visiting friends we decided to have Sunday brunch at La Caille. We were hoping to walk around the beautiful grounds, but because of weather and slippery ground this was not possible. Brunch is served at La Caille starting at 10:00 am. (ending at 2:00 p.m.) We booked for 12:00. Interestingly this meant that by the time we finished our meal, the place emptied out. The brunch menu is heavy on omelets. I selected filet mignon benedict (basically eggs and ham with a small filet side) $39, wife had sea bass. The meals were served with freshly baked croissants. We preferred to have some bread. We asked for that, and they freshly baked a whole loaf for us (their excellent bread is normally served at dinner time.) They even packed the remainder of the loaf for us to take home. Wife thought seabass was excellent, for me the eggs were fine, but the small filet could have been more tender. Our friends really liked their meals. The friend had asked for a Bloody Mary which has somehow been forgotten. When we reminded the waitress of this omission, they apologized, brought the drink and offered us free deserts. A gesture we really appreciated.
We tried to finish the meal with espressos all around. Unfortunately, the coffee served was not espresso. The amount served in the cups had too much water, and the taste was not there. We discussed this extensively with the waitress serving us, and I am sure in future they will fix the problem. My guess is that their espresso machine requires tuning by an experienced barista.
The service by our waitress was excellent. She was helpful and good humored and took our criticism in stride. It was very nice to have a waitress who really took her job very seriously.
I would recommend the brunch at La Caille, especially in good strolling weather, to enjoy the beautiful grounds. I must emphasize though that the great food, service and ambiance does not come cheap.
