HSL

Service and food was excellent. We tried the broccolini salad and biscuit to start, and they were so good. The salmon was one of the best salmon dishes I’ve ever had and definitely the most unique.

Very good restaurant. No question about it.
Highs:
spicy fried cauliflower was amazing. The cilantro and peppers complemented this dish perfectly.
Buttermilk biscuit. Unreal. The salt was the game changer. SO GOOD. the honey, butter, salt and biscuit is just wow town.
They have topo chick. Enough said.
Lows:
Burger. I feel like it fell a little short of expectations. Very good, no question, but the tomato jam and white cheese (which I don’t think was American) were nice, but not great. The pickled cabbage as well. As a whole it was a nice burger, but again, not great. Best part was the bun.
Fries. Over salted. My mouth is still reeling from the salt.
Service. Everyone was totally nice and great, but didn’t totally know what they were talking about. I asked about the burger and the waitress said “rated the best burger in Utah”, and naturally I asked, “by whom”, which she then didn’t know who had rated it so highly, so naturally I was skeptical. Then I asked about their blend of beef (cause I love burgs) and what they told me just didn’t seem right.

Anyways. Good. Not great. Would return to try the chicken and get the biscuit again!

We love HSL! It's our "go-to" for anniversaries, birthdays, and other special occasions. The menu changes quite a bit, but everything we have tried has been great! The dishes have so much thought put into them and it shows.

Some of my favorites that I included pictures of are the seeded cracker, the pork shank, and the whiskey caramel pudding.

WOW. One of the best meals I’ve ever had from start to finish. Every dish we ordered was beautifully crafted in flavor palette as well as presentation. I was truly struck by the dynamic flavor pairings, the freshness of ingredients and level of service. This was truly an elevated fine dining experience. My favorite was the apple toast- absolutely superb.

Loved our experience at HSL!
Definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. There is a small, SMALL parking lot behind the restaurant, but chances are it will be full so plan on parking on the street. The ambience to this place is lovely, with dim lighting and beautiful decor. I especially loved their cute seating arrangement ideas, with some couches/fancier chairs scattered in different places. The table was set beautifully and the waiter explained the menu very well. This was our first time here so we didn't know much about ordering, so wait for your waiter to explain things if you haven't been here before. We ordered the Peppers as an appetizer- came in a hot bowl with spiced hummus and they were good. For the main meal, we ordered the HSL burger, medium rare, and the fried chicken. The fried chicken was DELICIOUS! It wasn't heavy AT ALL and was somehow pretty light, considering it was fried chicken. The burger was AMAZING! I hate medium rare anything because I can't stand the blood, but there wasn't a trace of any liquid on this burger and it was absolutely perfect! It is also the cheapest thing on the menu, so that was a plus.

Overall, really neat experience. Definitely try it!
