We enjoyed the food as all of it appeared freshly prepared. The view was the best in the valley from inside a building. Though there were several couples there, we still felt as if we had our own private spot. We will definitely return again for a future anniversary celebration.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMThe RoofExcellent service and waitress. Girl playing the piano was great.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful experienceThis was our first time eating there (in cebration of our anniversary). We loved it. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We commented that we've never had a better waitress then we did at the roof. The food was delicious and the overall experience was just perfect. Definitely coming back sometime!5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMjust a reviewThe pasta dish was dull in flavor, not very warm. The flank steak did not have much flavor as well. And the chicken was dry which surprised me. Your biggetst compliment that I hear from friends is to save room for the desserts. Which is true they were all very good. Especially the bread pudding!4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was top-notch andThe food was top-notch and we had a wonderful view to the north.

I was a little disappointed this year. The food was not as enjoyable as in the past and I was disappointed in how much the cost has gone up. =o/4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMFor us its a great place forFor us its a great place for special celebrations.

Atmosphere is elegant.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMOur Special AnniversaryWe have never been to such a wonderful buffet style dinner. My wife has allergies to certain spices and peppers. The chef, actually made certain dishes special for her so shecould taste these foods for the first time. It was a beautiful scenic view high above thecity, seeing a birds-eye of Temple Square on one side and the Capital building and the Avenues homes. The service was extraordinary. The pianist was very talented and the ambiance was nothing we have ever experienced. We are in power chairs and she is on oxygen, and they gave us a table that was in the perfect location. We were out of the way of other diners but in a area making it easy for us to go get our foods.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMSeems odd to me to have aSeems odd to me to have a buffet in a highly rated/recommended restuarant. The food was good, but not great. And we weren't given a wine list, that too is very odd for a place considered to be a fine dining establishment.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Roof is a must go-to restaurantThe Roof is a must go-to restaurant for anyone visiting Salt Lake and for anyone wanting a romantic experience. The views are amazing, and the ambience of the restaurant was excellent. The service was outstanding. Although the buffet display was impressive to look at, the taste of the food was not this restaurant's strongest suit. The food was good, but not great. Still, the overall experience of the The Roof definitely makes going there for dinner a worthwhile experience that I plan to repeat.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMOur server, Jan, was outstanding.Our server, Jan, was outstanding.

TheThe scene was fabulous! The Service was outstanding! We were expecting a big dinner like we've had at night, not just sandwiches. The salads and fruit and vegetables were really wonderful!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, but not for lunchWe went for a lunch buffet, and while the food was delicious (especially the desserts), the variety was very low. They had sandwiches (which I could get anywhere, and at home) and Mexican fare (which my husband couldn't eat any of because it had cheese/cream)which was all they had for main dishes. I wouldn't go for lunch again, but I hear the dinner is exceptional, so that I would be willing to try. The pianist was wonderful, we enjoyed her very much.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMAt the heart of Temple SquareAt the heart of Temple Square on downtown Salt Lake City, this is a great place to dine while visiting the sites. Buffet set up, allows you to eat what you want whether you like salads, pasta or meat. Variety and quality of deserts are great.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMImpressed & pleasedI took my 8 year old son here for a special occasion. We both were impressed by the delicious food. The service was prompt and outstanding. The view was great and the noise level not too loud. A pianist played soft music in the background. It was a great experience with friendly and professional staff.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMAll of the above...A fantastic find! A buffet style, gourmet restaurant? How unique. The food was absolutely amazing! Beautiful setting & view. We spent $103.00 for two of us including tip & it was worth every penny. We will go again & I recommend you do, too.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic evening with the familyOne of the best dining experiences our famy has ever had. Thank you for a terrific evening!4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Dinner Bill was somewhatThe Dinner Bill was somewhat confusing, as it was unclear whether the 18% gratuity was included in the $39.95, or added to it. Also, the meal would have been greatly enhanced to have liquor service, although I understand that it is an LDS property.4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways memorableThe Roof is always impeccable when we visit and this was for our 7th anniversary. It was very quiet on. Monday evening and we pretty much had the whole section of restaurant to ourselves. We enjoyed the buffet food selections and especially the dessert bar. Don't miss the creme brûlée!4/1/2013 12:00:00 AMall Dishes looked good – theall Dishes looked good – the mushrooms were tasty but I would have liked them sautéed for the meet dishes.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMExperience to rememberMy Wife and I went there to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary. We had a great view of temple square as the sun went down below the horizon. Very romantic atmosphere with great live piano music. It's a bit pricey, but for a special occasion well worth it.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMOur family was very pleaseOur family was very please with the food and the service offered at the roof.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful Special OccasionSuch a beautiful view of the city.

My favorite time to dine there is about 30 minutes before sunset. It's an incredible site to watch the sunset and see all the lights turn on in downtown Salt Lake City. The food is delicious and the atmosphere and service is superb. I also love the live piano music. I highly recommend the Roof Restaurant!3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat view, great food. AlsoGreat view, great food. Also get to meet some high up figures in a Church if you get a chance to go.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMA special occasionFound the food terrific, service was great and the piano playing in the background was wonderful. A fantastic place to go for a special occasion and will do so again.3/25/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Roof is my favorite restaurant.The Roof is my favorite restaurant. I've lived from Maine to Florida and New York to Hawaii. The Roof is absolutely tops. That said, however, folks who want to have alcohol with their meal, be that wine, beer or hard liquor, will not find what they are after at The Roof---unless they can be satisfied with the absolutely WONDERFUL food. The service also is ALWAYS first class. As stated above, The Roof is THE finest restaurant I've ever eaten in. Andy McKane, Springville, Utah3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMUsed the Roof Restaurant toUsed the Roof Restaurant to get engaged at. Very romantic. Had a 7 pm reservation, watched a gorgeous sunset and the lights come on at the temple. Fantastic pianist who was very talented and friendly. Oh, and the food showed a variety of choice and flavors. The entire experience was a homerun.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMMy wife and I were celebratingMy wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and chose the Roof Restaurant because we had heard both the food and the atmosphere were good. We were not disappointed. We were able to be seated at the table of our choice with a beautiful view of the Salt Lake Temple and grounds just outside our window. The wait staff was efficient and friendly without being overbearing. Live piano music added to the atmosphere. The food preparation and presentation were wonderful - very upscale. There were about twenty-five items on the desert bar. We sampled many of them and they were all delicious. It would be hard to pick a favorite. Overall our experience was just what we wanted for our special occasion.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was good, service wasFood was good, service was great. The buffet had plenty of your main dishes but lacked any sides other than salad. It was a very nice place, my window table over looked temple square. I will not however go again, it was not worth the price of the plate.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Roof was a little outThe Roof was a little out of my price range being a college student but it was a special day and it was worth it. The food was better than most. Very fancy for a buffet. Lots of options. The view of the Salt Lake Temple is amazing. The live pianist was a nice touch. It's a great romantic place if you don't mind spending a $100 to take someone. At least they have parking validation. I would go again but not anytime soon.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMBeautiful view!Great atmosphere and the piano player was amazing. A great place to celebrate an anniversary or a special occasion!3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing view and very romantic.Amazing view and very romantic. Piano music all night and very attentive staff. Clean restaurant, but the food was not the best food and not that great for what you pay. You mostly pay for the view.3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMA Delicious HabitI enjoyed the experience from the moment we arrived.Beautiful setting,lovely music, fresh and artfully presented food. The service was attentive,fun and professional. I will return very soon. The buffet is calling to me!!3/14/2013 12:00:00 AM
