I’ve enjoyed lunch and dinner service at White Horse, and both times my friends and I left delighted. The house cocktails and expansive menu pairs for a unique and delicious meal. Their staff are well trained, well informed and super welcoming. If you are seeking a lovely experience out downtown, I’d highly recommend making a reservation.

3.5 stars overall. French Onion Soup was amazing and definitely the standout item. The Short Rib French Dip Sandwich left more to be desired and didn't live up to what I had expected flavor wise. Food was good overall. Service was on the slower side but the ambiance inside was super cool.

The perfect Monday lunch spot! From the moment we arrived, our server, Stefan, ensured we were well taken care of—his friendly and attentive service made the experience even better. The cocktails were expertly crafted, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere had the perfect vibe. I also love that it’s a 21+ establishment! I ordered the clam chowder, and let me tell you—it was to die for! My drink of choice was the Fire Escape, which was a total standout. And the oyster shooters? The perfect finishing touch! Can’t wait to come back!

Very pleasant experience. Who the bartender was on 9/13/24 needs a raise. The drinks were that memorable. I started with the Od Fashion, which was delicious. For my second, I enjoyed the bourbon peach smash. My co-workers enjoyed strawberry margaritas and two other drinks. The food was amazing as well. From the appetizers to the main course was spectacular. We sat outside, and the service was great as well. This location is a must try.

Food and drinks were fantastic and relatively quick! I loved the atmosphere and lighting, it did well to set the mood for a casual and intimate night out. Service was the only slight downside, as our waitress was a little robotic and the hostess was poor mannered. The seating is a little crowded so don’t expect to hold any private conversations.

I’ve been to this place a couple times and it has always been great. I would highly recommend the drink roulette which some bars in SLC do, where you mention the types of drink you like and they create their own. I’m sure the bartender likes making it. The food I had was spot on I wanted a roasted chicken with potatoes and the one they had on the menu was perfect. I would reccomend getting reservations in a day or two in advance. I didn’t make a reservation but they hold a couple tables for walk in which is nice.

Pretty sure I could have ordered most things on this menu and been very happy. My server was friendly and attentive, my beer & pickles both sour (just the way I like ‘em) and the Brussels sprouts were chefs kiss - a unique but perfect combination of fried sprouts with peanuts, pork lardons and a generous amount of both ponzu sauce and spicy mayo. Would a hundred percent t order them again.

This place makes you forget you’re in Salt Lake. Big city vibes, with creative drinks and tremendous food. Harrison was working dark magic behind the bar, leveraging a mystical alchemy that resulted in cocktails rarely seen in the Muggle world. Brendon’s service was flawless. We ordered several small plates and a sandwich. The house made chips with egg, Brussels sprouts, and crab dip were outstanding. The only miss for us was the blackened fish sandwich which was appropriately spicy, but way too salty (the house made it right when the bill came). Overall an excellent experience, and looking forward to my next visit.
