"Bambara is one of our 'must do' restaurants in Salt Lake City. It always becomes a special occasion when dining there and we frequent the restaurant for breakfast as well as dinner when ever we are in town. Their attention to detail, outstanding customer service and genuine caring make dining there something to look forward to."
