PROS: Ambiance, Service, Wine List, Local Organics
CONS: Food lacked flavor, Undercooked, Overcooked, Bland.
Will have to give this one another try, .... Brunch with family this past summer. Service was absolutely magnificent, but food lacked flavor and there was nothing special. Hubby had the Huevos Rancheros- he liked the concept of the dish and it appealed to him due to it's non-traditional presentation, unfortunately it was really bland and not much packed a punch other than a bit of the Queso Fresca. I had the Egg n' Cheese sandwich and so did my other daughter...it was ok...but unfortunately we both got sick...and I mean sick...did not sit well in the tummy, which is probably why I have not gone back...but....will give a second try as my youngest had the Brioche French Toast and that was tasty...not excellent...but tasty. So instead of Brunch we will definitely try dinner...except this time only the hubby and I will go. I will agree with other reviews, it is a bit pricey (which I do not mind paying for as it is guaranteed FRESH ORGANICS), but I was a bit disappointed especially because it was ""local fresh organics"" yet when cooked it tasted bland? I grow my own veggies and herbs and when I cook they come through, which is why I was really happy to try The Wild Grape! Who likes to cook everyday! LOL! Look... I love FOOD and yes SLC is IMPROVING in culinary expertise and wonderful restaurants are THANKFULLY popping up left and right. But this is my HONEST opinion...the food that day was really bland and it needs to be embraced and tasted, especially if wonderful organics are the main event of the menu! :) PS a note the owner....its cool that you are replying to these reviews and hope that you take them into consideration and continue to improve your restaurant, but do not throw out rewards or your chef expertise or you that you are working with news channel programs back to the customer. That's a no...no...rewards, plaques, are just that...if you have bad reviews and unhappy customers...then they just become plaques and empty rewards and completely meaningless if you cannot retain happy customer satisfaction.
