Went for the first time to this local wood fired kitchen. Really fun vibe that would be perfect for a fun night out with friends or with a date. There are big tables to seat larger parties. Food was solid. Started off with the cheese curds which were my favorite of the night. My husband got the chicken pot pie and I got the arugula prosciutto pizza. His pot pie was a winner and I’ll probably get that if we go again. Pizza crust was so flavorful and soft. Although the food was super good, the service was lacking. The host was very friendly but it was clear our waitress wanted us out of there as quickly as possible. She barely spoke a word to us and just did not seem happy to be there at all. Wasn’t super packed but it was also a Monday night.

An amazing experience. Great interior decor and atmosphere. The service, while a little busy, was still very polite and kind. Our appetizer was the Baked Goat Cheese, which was fantastic, very tasty. Our entrees included the Nashville chicken sandwich, and the Steak and Frites. The chicken sandwich was one of, if not THE most tender and moist chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. While I usually prefer a spicy flavor, the profile they chose was excellent. Felt very classic but unique in its own right. The Steak was seasoned well, and extremely tender and melted in my mouth. The fries we got with both dishes were excellent, very crispy. For dessert we ordered the Bread Pudding, and it’s an understatement to say it was great. Very well put together overall and I will definitely be returning.

Food tasted good, service was slow. And the kids pizza was burnt.

The beehive fried cheese curds were out of this world. The loved the pepperoni pizza with hot honey, wow a def must try! The shaved brussel sprouts were such as treat with the pinyon nuts and lemony vinaigrette. Loved seeing a NM local gruet rose on the menu, a must try if you’ve never had it before

Took my wife and two kids for an Easter lunch. Hostess was friendly and sat us right away. When the server came to take our order she didn’t seem to know much about gluten-free options (I have an allergy). Figured it out anyway. Ordered some drinks with our meal, which were brought out immediately. After waiting for about 35 minutes she brought out the beignet starters, and 15 seconds later the kids food. Some of the beignets were raw and inedible. She didn’t bring any syrup for my son’s waffles. Didn’t bring my or my wife’s order. And then she disappeared. If the place was slammed I would be understanding, but it wasn’t. After 5-10 minutes she finally came out and I had to waive her over. Only one of the 4 of us was able to eat (my son wasn’t interested in eating a dry waffle) and we had lost confidence that the food was safe to eat after the raw beignets. We asked to cancel the rest of the order and she finally got the syrup. The manager happily comped everything but the kids two orders. I’m sure this was an off day and not normal. It’s too bad because we were really looking forward to trying it. If we get enough positive feedback from other people we might try it again.

The food took 2 hours to be served after ordering,

This restaurant has the potential to improve without much effort. Provide more robust server orientation and check the food before it leaves the kitchen and it could easily be a 4-4.5 start restaurant. AMBIANCE - The dining room was attractive and clean; we received a warm welcome. - The music was too loud to converse with people on the other side of our table. - The light in the bathroom was too dim to use without straining FOOD - My salmon, asparagus spears and rice were nicely prepared. - The Wood Oven Asparagus apetizer was also nicely prepared (arugula, pancetta, pecorino, tomato, bacon, vinaigrette, and a poached egg). The poached egg was a little undercooked. - The strawberry shortcake didn't give me a reason to order it again. - The only coffee they offer is the French press, which I enjoy since I can stop the steeping before it becomes too strong. However, the water was not hot enough to sufficiently steep. I'd suggest increasing the water temperature or heating the coffee cups. - The house salad my wife ordered was somewhat plain. I attached a pic FWIW. - My 11-year-old girls ordered the kid's pasta (noodles with Alfredo and parmesan). Neither child cared for it. The noodles were overcooked--the pasta was mushy and mealy. Also, there was so much cheese that it mostly all stuck together. SERVICE Our server was personable and aimed to please but needed more instruction on the nuances of waiting tables. - Our server pre-heated my wife's teacup when she understood she likes her tea hotter than average. - Our server consulted with the chef and suggested a tasty rendition of the Wood Oven Asparagus for someone who doesn't eat pork products. - There were 5 people in our party but 6 settings. The extra setting remained for the duration of our meal. - My second course was dropped off before I had a chance to finish my first course. - I wasn't provided a second fork between the entrée and my dessert so I used my salmon-tasting fork to eat my strawberry shortcake.

Old Juan pizza was outstanding. So many different flavors coming together to make an amazing pizza. Service was a little slow, but other than that, great place and will be back!

I’ve lived in Draper Utah for 3 years and last week was the first time I had dinner with friends at the restaurant which is in my backyard. The food was delicious! Baked goat cheese, Brussels sprouts and sexy fries as appetizers were wonderful. Salmon and Gorgonzola steak salad were outstanding! Can’t wait to go back!!

Everything we ordered was fantastic. The menu was small but everything was so good and wished we had could have tried more. We will for sure be back. The restaurant is a little noisy but once we adjusted we just added to it. Highly recommend.
