My wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary here and we loved it. The food was amazing. They bring things out as they're ready so that you don't have a ton of plates on your table all at once. Oysters were the best I've had, and so was the salmon sushi. The toro roll and coconut mango roll were also delicious! Can't wait to come back

Lovely convenient location near the airport. Large scenic glass windows provide a waterfront view while dining. Service is attentive. Food is average and on pretty expensive for what you get. A bowl of chopped fruit was $7. Crab benedict was good.

We had great service. The food was very good too. We especially liked the asparagus chicken, but all dishes were well seasoned and tasty. There were two negative things to note, but these did not ruin our experience at all. 1. The mixed vegetable dish had sausage in it. We should have read the description more carefully. We asked the waiter if he recommended the mixed veg or green beans and we just rolled with his recommendation. It was listed in the vegetable section so we didn’t anticipate a meat in it. 2. The tea was not a Chinese tea. We enjoy a lot of tea with Chinese food. The tea was Twinings brand tea. It wasn’t a good match to the meal. Everything else was great. The restaurant is cute and comfortable. The service was great. We ordered a ton of food since we had our two teens with us, and we ate every bite. If we have cause to return to the casino in the future, we’d likely dine there again.

Four of us went to dinner on Friday night, and the entire experience was fantastic, from the appetizers to the salads and the main dishes, we enjoyed everything immensely. The pork chop was fantastic. Would highly recommend it if you’re having dinner here. We did have a couple of hiccups, but Michael took care of us very quickly to ensure our experience was a memorable one. Would highly recommend stanza if you’re in the downtown Salt Lake area.

Delicious food in a great atmosphere. Very friendly service (only reason for 4* rating is that they were short staffed that night) Really different offering for Seattle. Wonderful to be able to have a conversation without shouting at each other!
