- CCiaraUtah •1 review5.0Dined on May 4, 2025Everyone was great. I indicated in my OpenTable reservation that we were celebrating an anniversary and the Bambara staff gave us a card that had handwritten messages on it from the staff celebrating our anniversary. The hostess also gave us options for preferred seating which was also very nice. The dinner was great, service was great. I had the duck and loved it. We live in Salt Lake City and we'll definitely be coming back here. Thank you!More infoBambaraPrice: Very Expensive• Modern European• Downtown•4.5
