What People Are Saying About Bambara

The Scene
The interior boasts bold colors and designs that carry the concept from the surrounding Hotel Monaco. Metal work, wood and lush upholstery create the generous and intimate seating areas. The exposed kitchen enhances the lively chatter of locals and visitors in the main dining area as well as the bar located at the other end of the restaurant.
The Food
With the flavors of regional American cuisine in mind, menu staples from the usual meat and potatoes to perennial continental favorites like pasta get innovative twists. The signature house blue cheese potato chips whet the appetite with a good balance of savory sharpness and velvety starchiness. The Morgan Valley lamb is cooked to melting perfection. Desserts are some of the best in town, decadent yet bright with flavors--from tropical fruits to rich chocolate. Ice creams are made on premises, too.

My boyfriend and I went to Bambara for my birthday celebration and I was more than impressed. The service was above and beyond top notch and the food was delicious!!!! I came here to write an awesome review since people are very careful who they give their money to these days, but Bambara obviously doesn't need the extra attention. Proof by all the other posts, this restaurant is a gem in SLC. I will definitely be going back! PS...although the featured wine wasn't my fav choice, the option for a $20 bottle when everything else is $40+ is awesome in this economy!

The service is decent, the ambiance is good, but not very intimate. Wine is way overpriced, even the cheap ones (they were selling 10-15 State store wine for 60-80). Unfortunate, because you don't want to ruin your food. If they allow BYO wine, I'd definitely recommend you do that & the corking fee.
