best restaurant in Provo hands down. . .

[OhioBlue]

I wonder if the place is doomed....not because Provo isn't ready to eat good food, but because Provo isn't ready for a bar/lounge thing. I think too many people view it was a "bar" environment....it has music, is open later than most places, etc.. At the USU game, the folks around us referred to it as the "bar place."

I wonder if the stigma will hurt it/has hurt it in the long run.

Frankly, the best restaurants MUST have a robust wine/alcohol offering. Why? Because good chefs won't cook there without a good wine list.

Could be...it does seem to market itself as both a restaurant with serious food, and a place to hang out, have some non-alcoholic drinks, and watch some live jazz. So far though I think they have been successful and I'm not aware of any imminent risk of failure.

What might help is a place like Communal opening just down the street--haven't been yet, but have heard very good reviews. It was opened by the people that own Pizzeria 712 in Orem. All of these have a certain more modern, bigger city feel combined with actual good food that UT county desparately needs.

I'll throw in my $0.02 for Bombay House to be nominated as best Provo restaurant.

What's the dress code for this place? I'd like to try it tomorrow night, and I want to make sure I'm appropriately dressed.

My little brother was the Friday night music at Spark last weekend. Any of you catch his performance?

Acid-washed is fine, right?

Yes.

Please cut a small slit into the cuff so that the jeans drape nicely over your brown leather shoe. Preferably some sort of hiking boot.
