My wife and I came here for my birthday and had a great time. The setting is very nice, I think having the kitchen inside the restaurant was a fun idea, if not slightly noisy. Our waitress was excellent and the other staff made sure to fill up our water as soon as it was half empty. As far as food we ordered the Blue Cheese Chips as an appetizer to share and it came with more than we expected. Very good but make sure to eat them fast otherwise they get a little soggy. For main courses I got the Bison Manhattan and subbed the puréed potatoes for broccolini. The Bison and the accompanying sauce was amazing. It was a great cut of meat, it was more on the tougher side so don’t expect filet tenderness but the taste was unique but mild enough to not know it wasn’t standard cow. My wife got the ribeye which was excellent as well. It was a large portion so I ended up eating the rest of hers. It was cooked beautifully with all the rendered fat and extremely tender for a ribeye. My only complaint is they don’t include sizes for the other meat cuts besides the 14 oz ribeye.

We had a great time dining at Bambara tonight. The wait staff were very attentive with water--we never ran out. Our server Dylan was incredibly sweet, he knew all about the menu and his bright personality made our evening incredibly pleasant! Bambara and The Vault are within the same location and shared some space with each other in the hotel (Kimpton Monaco), and there's some parking in the front with options for paid valet. There are 3 entrances you can use to get to the host stand, 1 labeled for the hotel, one for The Vault, and 1 for Bambara. If you're looking for wheelchair accessible access, I recommend using the Hotel entrance. Thank you so much!

Monaco in Salt Lake City is such a great spot for dinner. The atmosphere is modern but still cozy, with just the right amount of energy without being too loud. I tried the seared scallops and they were cooked so tender, flavorful, and beautifully plated. The steak frites were also delicious, with a really rich sauce that tied everything together. The service was attentive and the staff made sure everything came out at the right pace. Drinks were spot on, and the cocktail list had some creative options that paired well with the food. Even on a busy weekend night, the whole experience felt relaxed and enjoyable. Between the location, the food quality, and the overall vibe, Monaco really stands out as one of the best places to eat downtown. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Brunch is good portion sizes. Birria cheese sandwich is tasty and deceptively filling. Burger with egg tasted great and had sweet pickles, but was so slippery inside that I resorted to using fork and knife. Also had dinner. Portions are small but flavorful. Toffee cake was excellent.

Yesterday we came to have brunch and ordered the Benedict and French toast. They were AMAZING! Brandon took really good care of us, the place and service are implacable. Will come back again for sure!
