Good food and good buffet with a nice of view of Temple Square

Love the roof. The food is always top notch and the desert bar is second to none.

Enjoyed the dinnerhere.Good view,and good service wiv yummy food.

Best restaurant in SLC period!!!

We would highly recommend The Roof for any special occasion, as it is costlier than some restaurants. Even though it was a buffet, the food was excellent. The prime rib, ham and king crab legs aren't something you find on regular buffets! The service was excellent and the servers worked together as a team, so patrons' needs weren't overlooked! There were no alcoholic beverages available, but the beverages that were available were delicious! The evening we were there, there was live piano music and it really added to the ambiance and was not distracting. And the view of the Mormon Temple was breathtaking!
Reservations are certainly recommended and the process to make them online was so easy and lets you know right away if a table is available for the time you desire.
We would also recommend taking the time to walk around the Joseph Smith building as it is beautiful and offers much history of the Mormon leadership.
Thank you for a very special evening!

Friendly greeting by staff, beautiful piano music playing by talented lady. Attentive servers, plentiful amounts of food. Limited selection for children though and no alcoholic drinks. Overall a pleasant evening, but no view due to see through roller blinds being down which was disappointing.

For the price of the food ,you'd think there were more choices.. the Beef medallions were not cooked all the way. The rolls weren't fresh.. I love the rolls, but the ones we got weren't good and were so dry and didn't taste good at all. Mashed potaoes were bland had no flavor . I won't recommend it for a place to go out to. SADLY DISSAPPOINTED

It is an upscale Chuck-O-Rama, it is a buffet. The selections that they offered are not like what we have seen before at any other buffet. But you still have to patiently wait while other folks in line are tending to the station getting food on their plate. Overall, it was still really nice and we would go back again for another special occasion.

It is buffet style, but high end choices and excellent service. Its definitely on the pricey side, but it was great for a special occasion.

The Rooftop restaurant is a very nice place to have a higher up scale buffet. The restaurant is like old school. Dark wood and brass for the interior. It is good for kids and in the end it still a buffet. The view is what makes this place. If you drink alcohol remember to do it before or after due to the fact its Mormon run.

The food was good, the seating was comfortable, the view was great.

The pianist pounding out trite interpretations of rock tunes however made conversation very difficult and became a point of nuisance that made us as a group regret choosing The Roof as the restaurant in which to spend hundreds of dollars. We had to cut our evening short because of this.

The Roof could pull it all together by instructing the pianist to contemplate the virtues of pianissimo while choosing more appropriate pieces from classical masters other than Cold Play and Queen.

We took my mom here for her 80th birthday. She had never been and really wanted to go. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. There was great variety and everything tasted great. We had 9 people. The service was fantastic. And of course the view was amazing!!

I have been to the Roof Restaurant many many times in the past, especially when I wanted to impress someone of how great a SLC restaurant can really be. We had a couple that I wanted to really impress last week, so I reserved a table for 4 for Saturday evening 7:30pm, June 30. I requested a table with a view of the temple for this special couple. We arrived 10 minutes early and were told we would have to wait for our table. When we were ushered into the restaurant I was surprised that many tables by the window and other tables with views were empty. We were taken to a table in the back of the room with no view at all. We were dressed in Sunday best so it wasn't that they were trying to hide us from something. The waiter and waitress were cordial and prompt with drinks, bread buns and filling our water glasses. However, I was surprised again at how mediocre the food was. Selections for salad and main course were way below the cost level of the meal. I was served a very fatty prime rib and the other meats I tried were what one would expect to find at a much cheaper buffet in town. Finger potatoes were burned and meat poorly seasoned. My wife was equally disappointed with everything and we were sorry we had chosen the Roof. When we left about 90 minutes later the restaurant was nearly empty on a Saturday evening. We could clearly see why! It is not at all what it used to be at the Roof Restaurant. We will not be coming back. We know we have other options in town when we want to impress someone about SLC fine dining.

Wonderful food and view as always. The piano music was so awesome! Carrie was great and played our requests. I am usually very cold and brought extra sweater to wear but did not need to this time. I was so happy about that!

The service and ambience was excellent, but the food was just ok. Many items that should’ve been hot, including steak and soup, were cold. We found a hair in two different items, neither of which matched that from people in our party. Overall it was a bit of let down, especially considering price.

The dessert bar, city view, and service were the best part of this meal.

We were with our neighbors who were also celebrating their anniversary. Our server was exceptional! Since were were celebrating our anniversary, I requested a table with a great view of the temple when I made the reservation. We had a beautiful view. The food was absolutely delicious. There were good gluten free options. Music was delightful. We really enjoyed our time there. Thank you so much!

The view is spectacular. The food is top quality, including a variety of seafood and prime rib cooked to perfection.
The evening was made stellar by the talented pianist who not only played beautifully, but also took requests for any song in pretty much any genre. Impressive.

Wonderful view of the Salt Lake Temple from every seat at this delicious dinner buffet restaurant.

Loved it! Very good food, great atmosphere

Service was outstanding. Everyone was super friendly. View was amazing. Lots of food choices. Salad was not as fresh as expected and didn't see many fresh vegetables.

Our waitress was the best part. Very prompt and always had our plates cleared by the time we got back to the table. Drinks were always taken care of.

We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary and it felt very special to indulge in good food with more variety than we’d get elsewhere. Everything was beautiful and upscale, friendly waiter and staff, romantic piano live music in the background. It would have been magical if everyone had been there for a special event, however some just came to eat in shirts or jeans. The larger groups could be loud and hold conversations against the railing right by our table. Can’t fault the staff or restaurant for the behavior and dress of those coming to dine. We enjoyed our evening and a stroll on Temple Square and City Creek Mall. We are very appreciative of our dining experience and the free parking validation that allowed 3 hours of city exploring.

We enjoyed our time there, but I think it was over-hyped. The food was decent, but we didn't have anything that really blew our minds. Nice view, nice place, but the food was not as good as we were expecting. Perhaps a really nice version of Sizzler.

It was lovely. We brought our granddaughter for her graduation. She loved it! Kept saying she had never been to such a nice restaurant.

I had requested a window seat as I was celebrating my parents' anniversary with them. We were seated at the premier window seat with a fabulous northern view. There was a lovely card on the table wishing my folks a happy anniversary, which was very touching for all of us. The service was excellent (amazing, attentive wait staff!) and the pianist played love songs which was perfect. The food was a disappointment (just okay, many dishes were nearly empty and picked over) but dessert bar was great. Overall, a very special evening. Thank you!

The food is so good and the view is even better!

The food was really good, especially for a buffet style. And the views were awesome to look out over the Salt Lake Valley.

Food was nice and a beautiful view to go with it!

Perfect evening. The visit was spectacular, service was stunning, food stellar

Went for our 2 year anniversary and loved it! The attention to detail was amazing!

Food was definitely better than what I was expecting from a buffet, but maybe not worth a near 100 dollar bill for two people.

Excellent as always.

Excellent romantic restaurant with a fantastic view of Temple Square.

Food was exceptional.

Just a wonderful experience. the view is spectacular and as always the service was excellent thanks for making a special birthday even more memorable

Great place for a special occasion, in our case it was our 40th anniversary. The breathtaking view is outstanding. Very good food selection and the live piano playing adds to the great atmosphere.

Good for special occasion. Cost was too much for quality of food. Hot food was barely warm.

We loved the Ambiance with the Temple view. The food was spectacular. The Server was REALLY GOOD! Great for a special night out with a special person or Family

Awesome as always.

Food is ok, over priced.

We loved our experience at the Roof. The service was great and the food was amazing(The Lion House Rolls) great selection of food. Our server was great help and did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend The Roof to anyone!
