DoDo Restaurant

My wife and I tried this restaurant last night before the jazz game. I was a little skeptical due to the bad reviews on this site but was pleasantly suprised, at least until the check came. We both had the turky sandwich with swiss. I was served less than five min after we ordered it and it was amazing. It was simple without tons of veggies and mayo which allowed the smoked turky to shine. The BBQ sauce it was served with was a little too tart for me and my wife wasn't a fan either. The creamy chicken noodle soup it was served with was excellent as well. You can really tell when a soup is made in house or shipped in. I had the white chocolate raspberry tart for desert and my wife had the popular Toll House pie. As good as the turky sandwiches were the deserts made the meal. Both were amazing and not too rich. The only down side to the meal was the $48 bill ( after tip). For two turky sandwiches and a couple pieces of pie it seemed a little high. We left happy and will be back.

Pros: The waiter, Turky Sandwich, And desert

Cons: Price

The food is OK, nothing special, but the price and attitude ruin the rest. Trendy rather than striving for quality.

Pros: trendy

Cons: food isn't the point of the place

Date of visit 8/19/2005 @ 12:45 p.m. The appetizer was the Spinach/Artichoke Dip Quiche. It's a pie-shaped piece of artichoke dip topped with a light garlic mayo and served w/ crackers. Light and flavorful. The entree was the Roasted Turkey Sandwich with BBQ dipping sauce. Bread was soft & fresh. Turkey was moist and smoky in flavor. BBQ sauce was tangy and had the perfect consistency. Servied with a small slice of cantaloupe and choice of soup or salad. For dessert I had the Toll House Pie. It's a pie made w/ a cookie dough type filling. It wasn't too rich and had large chunks of chocolate and walnuts in it. Try it! Portions were a little small for the price but the food was delicious. A great place for a light lunch while shopping at The Gateway. The Dodo has the feel of a French Bistro type restaurant.

Pros: fresh tasting food

Cons: small portion size

The ribeye steak was all grisle, and the crabmeat on top, tasted old. WAY over priced for a throw-a-way meal. If you want steak, go to Ruby River in Ogden. The beef tips on a bed of noodles were tasty enough, but stingy of meat for the price charged. The desserts are an embarassment. Frozen mud pie. What a joke! Want real desserts?; go to Red Butte Cafe, and get their Aztec Chocolate tart. If you want real food AND value, go to the Lion House instead. The best thing here: the exit sign!

Pros: Gateway location, Service

Cons: Food, Dessert, WAY Over-priced, Parking

I was not impressed by the whole setup of the restaurant to begin with. It was not cosy, and maybe it makes more sense in the summer during lunch. I really like the salad that is served with the sandwich - great carlic vinegar dressing! However, grilled beef sandwich was absolutely nothing special. It was too salty to me, and barbeque sause spoiled the taste of the beef.

The Dodo is a great place to get together with your friends for lunch and grab a sandwich. Let's not forget the great brunch on the weekends. I suggest having the Orange Fajitas on the lunch specials when it shows up! Opps! I almost forgot, they definitely have the best desert in town if your a pie lover!

Pros: Service, Deserts, Ice Tea

Cons: Seating, Cold, Crowded

Consistently comes up with new and tasty entrees with a real gourmet touch (such as scallop quiche with Jalapeno Hollendaise); soups are all hand-crafted. Their best feature is their full-time dessert chef who has developed the best desserts in Utah. Try the Lundegras or the Chocolate Polenta Cake. They are constantly rotating menu items, so your favorites may not be available, but you may find a new favorite.

Pros: the desserts, innovative food, ambience

Cons: limited parking, slightly expensive, mesh tables outside

A good place to take visitors from out of town-- always pleasant for brunch or dinner. Tasty desserts.

We love this restaurant that consistently has some of the tastiest, most creative and freshest food in town. The chef, Ray Goodman, orders only the very freshest and tip-grade ingredients. The portions are so big we always go home with enough for lunch the next day.

Pros: Garden patio tables, Waterfall

Cons: Sunday brunch cancell
