QUESTION

What was your first impression?

THE SCOOP

Emily: What an absolutely charming restaurant! How did I not know about this place before! If the food’s as fabulous as the atmosphere then it’s going to be awesome!
Evonne: Romantic and sophisticated.
Quinn: Fun location; cool atmosphere.
Rebecca: I loved the downtown location and feel of the restaurant.
Vanessa: Yeah, parking! They are on South Temple in SLC and they actually had a parking lot with enough parking! Also that is was a breathtakingly beautiful restaurant.

QUESTION

What did you like the most?

THE SCOOP

Emily: The food, definitely the food, though the grape vines draping around the patio were pretty cool too. I had a taste of Evonne’s steak sandwich and fries and I have to say they totally rock!
Evonne: My delish drink of Mango Lemonade.
Quinn: The food was extraordinary! I died over my pork chop & whipped potatoes – heavenly! I also loved how accomodating (sp?) the staff was. They offer an Italian soda & I was really hungry for a mint chocolate flavor. They don’t offer that, but said they’d try to make it for me. They brought out a divine rendition, complete with real chocolate & mint leaves. It was really refreshing; they should add it to their menu. The desserts were completely amazing, also. I also really appreciate how they work with & support so many local farmers & vendors.
Rebecca: My entree, the Beef Short Rib. So tender and yummy!
Vanessa: The fact that they are so successful in using local, fresh and organic produce. I love how they support OTHER local businesses and our community. While using it to their benefit, the food is almost magical; fresh, ingredients paired perfectly, just amazing.

QUESTION

What didn’t you like?

.
THE SCOOP:

Emily: The butternut squash soup. It was a bit too thick and the flavor was off just a little bit.
Evonne: I would have liked my meal a little warmer.
Quinn: I wasn’t a fan of the seafood, but I’m not a big seafood fan. The girls at the table who like seafood a lot loved it, though, so I know it was just me.
Rebecca: The prices were a little high for me. But I’m cheap and would eat macaroni and cheese for dinner every night if my husband didn’t care, so I don’t think I’m the best judge!
Vanessa: I didn’t like that the rest of the Sassies were pansies and didn’t eat the mussels with me, come on ladies! Mussels AND Chorizo, how could life get any better than that? (Emily: I at least tried one!)

QUESTION

Would you visit again?

.
THE SCOOP:

Emily: Yes! I can’t wait to go there for a date night and I’ve already told lots of girlfriends about Wild Grape Bistro as a must-visit restaurant.
Evonne: I would definitely take my husband for a nice night out.
Quinn: Absolutely! I’ve already recommended it to my friends & family, too. My brother-in-law is taking his girlfriend there this month for their anniversary because I’ve raved about it so much.
Rebecca: I wouldn’t go back on my own because good food is just wasted on me. But I would definitely recommend that my husband take a client there! Especially a client he is trying to impress!
Vanessa: Yes, yes, yes the next time I know the entrees that are to die for, which would include their amazingly moist and tender beef and perfect Blue Cheese Cheesecake.

I am a whirlwind of activity—in my mind anyway. That place sure is busy. I have the best of intentions to keep a clean house, cook delicious dinners, learn to dance, become fluent in Spanish and German, get my Masters degree, and travel the world. Instead, I spend my days exploring Salt Lake City with my almost 2 year old, teaching piano to a multitude of (i.e. TOO MANY) wonderful kids, practicing the piano, reading, writing, and missing my husband while he is away at work (why can’t we just be rich and hang out together all day?). Most recently, I became a reporter for the Sugar House Journal and am currently adjusting my schedule to accommodate that new adventure!
