The restaurant had gone out of business. It was extremely annoying to have received a dining confirmation through this platform and to arrive to a OOB establishment.

Unfortunately they were out of their chicken and dumplings. I also much preferred the winter salad last year. The winter salad this year was not nearly as good — the greens aren’t very well dressed, and the large lump of squash in the middle is not visually appealing at all. Bring back the old winter salad! I appreciated the new mock tail menu.

We had the chicken Marsala and the short rib. The service was incredible, the food was absolutely amazing, the only downside would have to be the desert options, they offer a brownie with ice cream, the brownie tasted stale and the Carmel sauce on top of it was way to much, no balance to the desert at all. Which is surprising compared to the attention to detail on the entree’s, from the cocktails, appetizers, and entree’s they are spot on, skip the dessert though

My cousin and her husband were in town from LA for a night so we took them to Tradition for dinner. They eat out. A LOT. And good food too. They’re totally D.I.N.Ks (Dual income no kids) and they like good food and good drinks. He said his burger was better than the fancy place they go to in LA and she said her short ribs were amazing. Of course we enjoyed our food too (actually got the same as them because we know we like it). But I was so pleased that they liked it better than their usual spot back home. I think I got the gentlemen and a scholar cocktail and it was so yummy. We didn’t get much besides the entrees but have in the past and have always thoroughly enjoyed everything. We don’t eat out a ton but always love when we make it over to Tradition.

Our first visit to Tradition was very good. We liked the ambiance and were seated in a cozy table in corner. Our server, Merwin, was friendly, but I could see how his sarcasm could be taken with other guests. He wasn't specific on our questions about menu choices and said we'd have to come back next time to try something else. However, we really liked what we chose. The cornbread, brussels and funeral potatoes to start were delicious, as was the chicken marsala. The chicken & dumplings was good, but the dumplings were a little dry. We had heard/read that Tradition is known for their pie, so we were a little disappointed that the only dessert option was a brownie w/ ice cream. It did not disappoint thought...the brownie was warm and gooey and the caramel was out of this world. We will be back for a second try!

Food was excellent, especially chicken wings, funeral potatoes and meatloaf. Cocktails were good. Service was excellent. But I’m not a fan of the community table. We had a reservation for 2 and we were initially seated at the end of community table next to the door. We asked to move to a two-top away from the door, which they kindly accommodated after some time. But even sitting further from the door, the restaurant was cold. In addition, we could feel the cold breeze every time the door opened. Disappointing to have to eat a delicious dinner in the cold. But everything else was great. I recommend this restaurant. Just be sure to wear a couple layers.

Delicious food from apps to main to dessert—overall the best meal since moving to SLC six months ago. We loved the dumplings. Highly recommend saving some space to share the brownie sundae. Only disappointment was the draft beer selection (but there were options in bottles and cans).
