Previous Restaurants

13. Lone Star Layton
Ian had the Garlic Steak Medallions. He felt it was overpriced but overall the steak was tender and the flavor was good. It ranked 2.5 stars.
Kalynne had a Honey BBQ Chicken Sandwich which was way too messy and spicy of BBQ for her taste. It ranked 2 stars.
It's the typical trendy steak restaurant. The waitstaff was quick and helpful. Overall it was a fun atmosphere.

14. Fiesta Guadalajara Layton
Ian had 2 Enchiladas, one was with shredded beef and the other was chicken. It also came with the typical beans and rice. It was a little too saucy but it was decent Mexi-American food. He gave it 3 stars.
Kalynne had a tostada, chalupa, and enchilada. The tostada was fried in rancid oil and was nasty. The other 2 items were good until the rancid oil carried over to ruin the taste of the others. She gave it 2 stars.

15. The Garden SLC
Ian had the Alfredo Pasta and chicken with red and white sauces. The food and flavor was good but the portions were small and he left hungry. He offered the experience 3 stars.
Kalynne thinks she got a club sandwich but really doesn't remember for sure! Whatever it was she liked it and the plate it came on was cool! She offered 3 stars.
We got some fried pickles to share. Everyone was skeptical at first to try them but they were actually pretty good. The salads that others in the group got looked awesome; they know how to have great food presentation! The views and ambiance of the restaurant were exceptional with a great view of the Salt Lake Temple.

16. La Ferovia Ogden
Ian ordered Chicken Parmesan with white sauce and penne pasta. It was bland, flavorless, and overly saucy. (He doesn't like saucy things). His perception of La Ferovia is that it's set in a great location but the restaurant itself is forgettable. He gave it 2.5 stars.
Kalynne had a Trio with 3 different pastas and sauces with round steak. The pastas were good but the steak was gross. She really liked the tortellini pasta though. She also gave it 2.5 stars.

17. Training Table Layton
Ian had a Guacamole Burger. It was a middle grade burger but nothing to drive out of the way to experience. It earned 1.5 stars.
Kalynne had a Hawaiian Burger which had a pretty good taste to it. It earned 2 stars.
It has a unique experience of phone ordering from your table that could be fun for kids. The building smelt really badly and the tables were dirty and grease ridden. Our overall perception of the location was old, rundown, and dirty. It was Kalynne's first time going there and she's okay to wait another 25 years to go back. The cheese fries that we've heard are to die for weren't really any better than others we'd had before.

18. Texas Roadhouse Riverdale
Ian had the 12 oz Sirloin Steak, rice, and veggies. Texas RH has always been a favorite BBQ/steakhouse. The steak was perfectly portioned and cooked. The sides were not overwhelming. He gave it a 3.5 star.
Kalynne had Ribs, Steak Fries, and Sweet Potato. Her favorite is their fall off the bone ribs. YUM! Plan to get a little messy if you come here! She gave it a 4 star.
If you go remember to do Call Ahead Seating. We walked in and got seated within 2 minutes while others right after us had a 60 minute wait time. We love to share everything we get here so we can enjoy more of their delicious options. Plan to be stuffed. Their rolls and cinnamon butter are fabulous and complimentary. Beware of peanut shells on the floor, as they are everywhere. Don't wear flip flops or sandals! We love this place and will visit again next year!

19. Crown Burger Layton
We both had the Crown Burger and shared an order of Onion Rings. For Ian he thinks it's the best burger you'll experience in Utah. The pastrami on top of a 1/4 pound beef patty is the perfect compliment to anyone who enjoys a gourmet burger. Ian is saddened that he must wait another half year before he can go back. He gave it 4 stars. Kalynne doesn't rant and rave about the burger but thinks it's just another burger! She gave it 3 stars.

20. McGraths Layton
Ian loved the Seafood Sampler (all fried). The prawns were good, the shrimp were excellent, and the fillets were perfectly done. Ian was just thrilled to get Kalynne into a seafood restaurant.
Kalynne enjoyed a Penne Chicken Pasta once again with artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, and capers. She was actually surprised to love it as much as she did while smelling all the stinky fish. It was delicious. Their Strawberry Lemonade was also delicious. We both gave McGraths 3.5 stars.

21. Dairy Queen Layton
Yeah for Blizzards! We won't be critiquing fast food places just so you know. But we want to keep record so we know we can't go there again this year!

22. The Oaks Ogden
Ian savored the Canyon Chicken. It's a chicken smothered in goat cheese, mushrooms, and a black raspberry vinaigrette reduction. It's served with garlic mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. Ian's initial reaction to his first bite of the chicken was out of surprise and awe at the flavor. The chicken had an excellently sweet and savory flavor and was perfectly done. The creaminess of the goat cheese was the perfect counterpart to the vinaigrette. It earned 4 stars.
Kalynne had the Jumbo Florentine Ravioli with tomatoes and spinach on top. It wasn't a favorite but was still pretty good. Next year when we come back, she'll be getting the Canyon Chicken. Hers earned 3.5 stars.
This dining experience is outdoors in the heart of Ogden Canyon and provide exceptional views of both canyon walls and the Ogden River. If you plan to go, do so on a warmer day or bring a jacket. We didn't know it was outdoors and Kalynne ended up draping her daughters baby blanket for warmth. We are sad we can't go back this fall when it will be absolutely gorgeous with the colors of the foliage in the canyon. We highly recommend this establishment for those who love the outdoor beauty and quality food.
