Best American Restaurants in South Salt Lake

Everything was wonderful except for the glitchy Open Table reservation experience. Spent over ten minutes struggling to make the reservation.

Exceptional experience from arrival to departure, which speaks volumes about their staff and how in unison they all are, everything was seamless, friendly and welcoming with a smile. My server, Juan was phenomenal, offered tremendous service throughout, and was super knowledgeable about the entire menu, which provided me with a spectacular dining experience. The new Asian inspired crab cakes belong in the culinary hall of fame; sesame crusted, with depths of flavors that were as stunning as the plating of the dish. Their Bison steak cooked perfectly medium rare was outstanding as was the pairing of the duck fat fingerlings and out of this world Brussels sprouts, in unison, all were such a thing of beauty. Flavored butter and their mocktails were also delicious and unique! Guy at the front desk was awesome, knowledgeable about the history of the establishment and took wonderful care of me. I’ve dined around the world at a multitude of Michelin starred restaurants, Log Haven belongs right at the top with any of them. This is the restaurant to visit in Salt Lake City, otherworldly in every way, as close to perfect and paradise as a dining experience can be. Thank you, Log Haven and staff! Cheers and Happy Holidays!!

We often dine there, but this time it was especially nice. Their new spaghetti dish is amazing. It was one of the most delicious dishes I have ever had. I don’t particular like how most restaurants feel the need to put spicy heat on everything. Some of us don’t like much heat. This spaghetti dish had a little low grade heat, and was just yummy. I hope they keep it on the menu for a while. Kudos to Joseph for amazing service.

Amazing birthday and celebrations Will the manager know his business and was amazing Super great staff and unique service Our favorite meal of the whole trip to Salt lake city !!! Super recommendable ! The lamb chops , everything

A Mixed Experience with Standout Dishes I had a largely positive experience at this restaurant, thanks to a few standout dishes that truly impressed. The grilled pumpkin bread served as an appetizer was nothing short of exceptional—warm, slightly sweet, and perfectly charred. Paired with a fresh serving of burrata and cranberry jam, it made for an unforgettable start to the meal. We also tried the Brussels sprouts, which were equally delicious—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. For the main courses, my mother ordered the pork confit gnocchi, which she found satisfying, but my braised wagyu unfortunately fell short of expectations. While the meat was tender and flavorful, it was meant to be topped with shoestring potatoes, which were missing from my dish. This was a small but noticeable oversight. Additionally, the shaved fennel, which accompanied the wagyu, was inconsistently cooked—some pieces were soft and delicate, while others were far too crunchy and underdone. Given that the wagyu came in at nearly $40, these discrepancies were disappointing. On a positive note, the restaurant offers an impressive selection of non-alcoholic mixed drinks, which is a nice touch for those seeking refreshing, flavorful options without alcohol. Overall, while there were a few missteps, the restaurant does serve some excellent dishes and an excellent atmosphere that made the meal enjoyable. I'd recommend it, especially if you're looking to indulge in their grilled pumpkin bread and burrata appetizer. However, for the price, I would have hoped for a bit more consistency in the execution of the main courses.
