I’ve been here twice now within a month. I got the same food both times: chilled beets and spinach gnocchi. Honest to goodness the beets with the yogurt espama and pumpkin seeds is probably the best beet dish I’ve ever had!! And the gnocchi is so flavorful and fresh. The only thing that made this less than perfect was our waiter kept interrupting us to ask us how we were doing. I love an attentive waiter but it was too much. However, do not let that stop you from going. This food is delicious!!!!!!

Everything was good not great. Service was nice Sophia was good server Caeser salad was good Beet dish was nice but pomegranates kept getting stuck in my teeth Salmon came out overcooked. Also didn’t understand the apples in the dish was weird and the hazelnuts would have been nicer with normal veggies or mushrooms

Absolutely loved this place. The service oh the service!!!!! They were all wonderful, accommodating, kind and on point. Food was great and we loved the cool ambiance! We had appetizers and had the 3 course sample. It was good.

We went here for our anniversary and were completely satisfied. The food was delicious and the service was phenomenal! Thanks, Austin! The wine recommendations were spot on for our varied dishes. We will definitely be back. We recommend the burrata, the lamb ragu, and the scallop special, but everything looked delicious! Such a treat and great to support local producers featured so beautifully!!

Went here for my birthday and it did not disappoint. The sourdough bread is a must! The best sourdough you will ever have, so good with the house made compound butter. I hear that the Pago burger is the best burger in town, for $20ish it’s worth the money. It is perfectly cooked and juicy. The sauce on the burger is so good. Everything was great. Also we had an awesome waiter, he was very knowledgeable and kind!

I enjoyed the pleasure of the Utah food at the restaurant, Pago! The NY steak was very tender and the cream sauce with spinach and white asparagus that came with it was so delicious. The creamy pasta with egg had an ethnic taste with a hint of Asian flavor, and I enjoyed the mix of Western and Asian flavors. I was also able to drink Utah beer, so it was a very satisfying dinner. The service was also very good. Thank you, Pago and Salt Lake City!

Our friends introduced us to Pogo, and we really enjoyed it. The food has incredibly fresh flavors and textures and this should be on your "must do" list if you are a foodie and in the SLC area. Atmosphere is warm, comfortable, and welcoming. It is on the smaller side, but this adds to the coziness of the experience. Will be back soon.

This restaurant was so nice, urban feel, great service and food was so delicious, they are known for their wines also, food does not have a lot of spice but that’s also my preference! The roasted mushrooms were my favorite with the faroe salmon! Would recommend unless you’re looking for something spicy!
