Although this restaurant is located in an outdoor mall, once you step through the front door you'll feel like you're in a citrus orchard. I had dinner here with some coworkers, but it would be an excellent option to take someone special on a date. Food was good, beautiful presentation but when we were seated, we didn't receive the wine/drink... More

Provo and Orem UT suffer from a plethora of "family" restaurants...loud, large parties, LOTS of children running around. That is all well and good if you are bringing your children with you and don't mind all the noise and not relaxed atmosphere. Finally, there is a grown up place to go, where most of the tables are for two or... More

I have been to this restaurant four times. Each time, the servers go out of their way without being clingy. The restaurant's decor is inviting, with "lemons" hanging from trees throughout the dining space. Everything is meant to be upscale. The main disappointment is the food, which has never lived up to the descriptions in the menu. Location is great. More

If you're looking for something a little classier than Applebees or Chili's, but don't want to spend a bill on your meal, this is a great 'tweener' option. The food price is reasonable for the quality and the service is very fast and friendly. My wife and I both had the tenderloin medallions, which were cooked great, but had some... More

The restaurant is very appealing and the service is excellent. The food on the other hand is for me "average". I expected more from the chef but was a bit disappointed. Certainly not bad food by any means, but not up to the chef's standards that he set in his previous restaurant. I think for the most part people will... More

I have gone with my wife twice and we have enjoyed it a lot. It is a cool concept for a restaurant and the menu offers some really good options. The location is also awesome as Riverwoods is an amazing place. I would definitely recommend this for a date night dinner that offers a variety of menu options. It is... More

The food poisoning my wife and I had was one of the worst things I have ever experienced. My wife is 25 weeks pregnant and this experience landed her in the hospital. We had shrimp pasta and the salmon. The fact that we had food poisoning is not the only thing I was dissapointed with. The fact that when I... More

Fresh ingredients, great taste, wonderful presentation, excellent value. Rivals Chef's Table (no surprise since original chef there is now La Jollas's) and Greg's Restaurant (UVU Culinary Arts restaurant) for best restaurant in Utah Valley. More

After returning to La Jolla Groves a couple of times in the past few months, I have a better feel for what this restaurant is about. It's really about atmosphere in a town that is somewhat lacking in unique, elegant eateries. While it fails to deliver on a truly California cuisine menu, the food is fine. It's not a huge... More

I really love the ambiance here. The food was really very good. Lots of flavor. I didn't feel like they had a TON of options on the menu, but for the experience, and the good food they do have, I think it's totally worth a good date night. More
