Another outstanding experience at Matteo. We were celebrating our friend’s birthday and our waiter made it the most memorable and beautiful evening. His suggestions were perfect and added so much to our meal. He even sang happy birthday to our friend in Italian and has the most incredible voice. The entire experience was amazing!

Went to A Christmas Parlor, a pop-up Christmas experience/speakeasy, inside Flanker SLC. It was so much fun! The service was incredible! Leo, the bartender, was congenial and attentive. We had the best time hanging out at the bar with him. We tried the charcuterie board, sliders, and lots of drinks. Everything was delightful! It was such a fun experience. I can't wait to see what other pop-ups come about. We will definitely be attending again!

A unique experience. They only do a buffet on Christmas Day and it was amazing. So fun to get to try so many of their wonderful dishes. The Cauliflower Vichysoise soup was excellent as was the beets and the Brussels sprouts. I do hope they continue this tradition of offering a buffet of all of their famous dishes once a year on Christmas Day.
