    I'm thinking of giving it a shot tonight. They get excellent reviews, but it's not close to me so I'd rather not go unless I'm confident it will be good.
    I like the clever name.

    There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

    • lol the name is terrible. check it out and report.

      I went to a "South African" place last year (located in North SL or Bountiful, cant remember) because I really wanted bunny chow, but this place served really terrible kotas. Never went back.

        The restaurant we went to wasn't at that location--it was on State St., but all the decor looks the same so I wonder if they moved.

        Anyway the Budenaa Bread was disgusting. Sort of like a rancid sponge bread with the taste and texture of sweet fermented rice cake that the pake cake truck used to schlep around in Hawaii, but sour. I thought the beef stew entre would be good because I love red peppers, but it was surprisingly tasteless, kind of a bland gumbo file flavor with no other notes, so a little "dirty" taste.

          yes. some somali refugees insisted that i go there with them, and it was disgusting. i usually don't freak out about restaurant cleanliness but it was bad.

          • Well hell, based on early returns, I'd better be looking elsewhere for dinner options tonight.

              All "African" restaurants look the same to you? Hmmmm.
              One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

              I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

                          The place that SMR linked has been there at least 6 years.

                          • I hadn't realized, or at least had forgotten, that The Copper Onion had been reviewed (favorably) here on the board, but we ate there this evening and had a very good meal. I had the Wagyu Beef Stroganoff, a fine combination of good beef, pasta and a cream sauce, along with a fine crusted goat cheese salad, nice sides (asparagus and brussels sprouts) and some delish house ice cream (caramel with chocolate covered cashews). My wife, three of the kids and I left very happy and satisfied. The place wasn't impressive visually but still comfortable and our server was great. Highly recommended.

                            • The Copper Onion is great but I don't understand why it's so popular and busy -- really tough to get a reservation at a normal time unless you know you want to eat there weeks in advance.

                              We ate at Alamexo a few weeks ago and really liked it. Probably a little overpriced but we will go back for sure. I'd rank it only a little below Frida's Bistro.

                              • Cannella's is a very nice, small Italian place in downtown SLC. Reasonable prices, good service, good food.
