Restaurant Review: Rye SLC

rye slcFirst time, so I tried a variety of dishes. Appetizers of Garlic Fries and Truffle Mac & Cheese. I love garlic, but after starting with the Garlic Fries, everything else tasted like garlic. So if there was any truffle oil on the Mac & Cheese, I couldn’t taste it, but it was creamy-lovelyness. I liked the option to add bacon or spinach – the fresh spinach was stirred in just before bringing to the table and added a nice layer of texture. Main course was pho-like Noodle Soup. Aromatic enough to combat the garlic attack on my taste buds, but I think their garnish was wimpy with very little cilantro and Thai basil. Some people love fatty ppork and I’m sure it added flavor, but no thank you! Industrial, simple decor made for an easy environment that was comfortable for a casual business lunch. The service was slow, but nice and easy going. Overall, it was a good experience, but I’d still recommend Oasis Cafe (located just one block north) over RyeSLC – any day of the week.
