Laurel Brasserie & Bar took over the space that used to be The Grand America Hotel’s Garden Cafe, changing up the dated interior with flower-shaped lights, wicker cane chairs, and black-and-white sketches. Dinner starts with complimentary housemade rolls and a creamy goat cheese butter, but save some of that bread for the french onion soup that’s simmered for over 24 hours and topped with toasted gruyere. The double-sided bar is great for drinking some cocktails featuring Utah-made spirits, like the Laurel Leaf Old Fashioned mixed with Beehive barrel-aged gin. Thanks to state law, Happy Hour deals are only for smaller bites—which is fine, because you’ll want to take shots of the french onion soup anyway.
