Our favorite place for making dinner "an event." Except for running out of water one time, service, food, ambience were impeccable.

Literally the best evening. We had a couple of flights and then individual pours afterwards, and ate a caprese salad, a greek pizza and bianca pizza. All delicious. The cook of the pizza was perfect too. We were also surprised with a creme brûlée and that was not only so tasty, but just a fabulous end to our meal! I will continually tell people to come to Bar a Vin because not only is the food and wine fabulous, the hospitality is beyond amazing. Thank you Kimo for helping us have such a great time, we can't wait to come back!

About the restaurant

WE HAVE MOVED! OUR NEW LOCATION IS 4699 S HIGHLAND DRIVE, SLC, UT.

SLC's most glamorous, sexy and taste bud tantalizing restaurant has elevated their experience. Tear drop chandeliers, off-white banquettes, a mixture of velvet and sherpa chairs in the lounge and bar area create an ultra hip vibe for those who like to sit in the buzz !! For those who'd rather have a more quiet and romantic experience, the upstairs offers a more tranquil setting while overlooking the vibrance below. The other dining rooms offer either fireplace ambiance or Mt Olympus views! Our private rooms host up to 10, 20, 24 and 58 guests respectively. Our privately enclosed backyard patio overlooks Mt Olympus and features fire-pit seating!

Chef Matt's flavorful, hearty cuisine is as beautiful to look at as it is to savor! Local favorites include Chanterelle Mushroom Soup, Toast Smögen and Crispy Fried Chicken!

Due to the more formal and intimate nature of the ambiance, we welcome children 4 and over. NO INFANTS.
