Reviews for The Roof in Salt Lake City, UT
What a great first impression of Salt Lake City! WOW, these people do not mess around when it comes to food, service and... architecture. All of the food was fantastic and they had a great selection. The desserts were drool worthy. I ate so much that Ialmost felt a little sick by the time we were finished. The view was incredible! The servers were also very efficient andfriendly. Would've been great to have a glass of wine with this meal, but I respect their customs. Read more
This is an old review and is based on before they closed during pandemic/renovation. Found some photos so I decided to write... this review anyway. Cost of buffet is on the high range but what you're paying for here is the view. I've dine here severaltimes but there's nothing spectacular in this restaurant. Poor ambience, dated interior, food is comparable to Chuck-a-rama interms of taste but in an upgraded presentation, service I guess is ok and you have a live piano playing in the background whiledining. Other than that, not worth the trip. I do hope though that they will make some great or grand improvements when theyreopen to make it worthwhile. Read more
Great food, great atmosphere, great service, and great people. My wife and I came here for our anniversary and we received... excellent service. The food was great. Make sure that you save some room for desserts because those may have been the highlightthe cream Brulé was amazing. Read more
This is a classy restaurant with gorgeous views of Salt Lake City?s Temple Square. It is a buffet extraordinaire! This night... there was prime rib and King crab claws and vegetables and other entrées and sides with fancy ingredients including a gourmetmac & cheese. The decadent desserts were presented in small portions so that you could sample several of them. Read more
This place is ???????????? It?s soooo good! The service was lovely, they bring by rolls that are killer. They have a pianist... that?s playing tunes at all times and it?s just a great experience. A beautiful view of the Salt Lake Temple and one side thecapital. The food was exquisite. It?s a buffet and wow, ain?t never been to a buffet like that before. Honestly, this wasprobably my favorite dining out experience ever. Read more
A gorgeous view of the entire Temple Square! Their hot chocolate is definitely a refreshing drink to start with! Roasted beef is... succulent although the dessert is just a little bit too sweet. Considering also their phenomenal service from table assignmentthroughout check out, the Roof Restaurant certainly offers one of the best buffets in the country. Please do not forget thereceipt in an exchange of complimentary parking in the City Creek underground parking! Read more
If you are looking for a meal with great view and quality buffet and service, here is the place to go. I read some of the... review here complain about the price and felt like those are not valid point to use to give this place a bad rating. Here iswhy: 1) you know the price before you are going. It's not like the roof forces/ traps you to go there 2) you are paying forthe view! Just like buying a house, the house with a great view obviously has a premium to the price tag. The same logic appliesto the restaurant price. 3) you are paying for the variety. If you going to another restaurant with the same dollar signrating, the same price you pay only covers your entrée, and of course, that one dish has to have a stellar taste. In contrast,the roof buffet provides you with variety of dishes from appetizer, antipasto, entrée ( including table servicing style cut asyou command), and so many good deserts. To be fair, the qualify if the food definitely outweighs the price you pay. 4) theirgood service and amazing live piano music alone should deserve a good rating. Bottomline, check out this place if you want acasual date night with an amazing view of the city! Read more
We really love the views, and try to make it up here during the holidays, when you reserve your table, you can ask for something... by the window, then you can get something that looks down on the lights. Great live entertainment with the piano too! The foodis delicious, but with big parties coming in during the holidays, lines can form pretty quickly, which kind of detracts from theupscale atmosphere for me. Read more
