Cafe Lucia
Online Reservations
Excellent and authentic Portugese cuisine. Starter with varied assortment of Portugese specialties should not be missed. Desserts among the best in town--all are sets of three items. Try the "Traditional." Their version of donut holes nearly float off the plate. Good and moderately priced wine list.
Cafe Lucia is a one of a kind restaurant serving Portuguese cuisine. The seafood is amazing and they have a large wine selection from Portugal that can be ordered by flights. Great service and awesome food quality. A must have dinning experience for everyone!
Excellent experience Wine flights from Portugal were very nice way to embrace wines from Portugal . Tacas were great - definitely go for white anchovies and Sao Jorge cheese Feijoada - just like I remember in brasil. My wife settled for the vegetarian platter since they ran out of Bronzino but we will be back
We had a fabulous dinner in this little hideaway restaurant off the main square in Healdsburg. The weather was gorgeous, so we opted to sit on their outdoor patio, which was lovely and comfortable. The specialty here is Portugese food, and our fish dishes were excellent. The service was gracious, and relaxing. Highly recommended!
Great food, service and atmosphere just off the main square. We have been many times.
The fives of us had a great dining experience at Cafe Lucia, from the suggestions made by our server, to the food choices and our wine selection. It was slow for weekday lunch, so the service was particularly stellar. We chose seven tasting plates to start and each was memorable, especially the baby octopus, sao jorge cheese, smelts, serrano ham, pickled marinated vegetables, and linguiça. For our main meals, we had the fish and chips (the novelty's not worth it), a delightful fisherman's stew, and the paella. We'll go again! Thanks for a wonderful lunch.
Delicious Portugese and Brazilian food and excellent service. Nice outdoor space though was too breezy the night we were there
Wonderful and unique menu featuring Portugese specialities. Splendid service. Don't miss it. And the cook book offered for sale is a work of art.
The food at Café Lucia was excellent. A nice array of Portuguese dishes and wines. Very good service. I highly recommend the restaurant.
We love this place and have gone back at least twice. It is a two hour drive for us but the food is so good that it is worth it. The decor is beautiful and the servers are awesome. Quite a Find.
This is the second time my husband and I have dined at Cafe Lucia. If anything, it was even better than the first. We shared a delicious beet salad after which he had a cod and potato dish and I had the lamb tenderloin. He found his dish moist and very flavorful, but quite filling. My meal, grilled lamb tenderloin and root vegetables, was absolutely delicious. The meat, marinated and then grilled, was s some of the best lamb I have ever had. Since it is always on the menu, I probably won't ever get anything else! The decor has been updated from the Affronti days and looks great. There is a handsome outdoor dining space. The service was friendly and efficient. With the small plates for sharing it is fun and affordable. We'll be back.
Fantastic dinner. Extremely happy to see this space succeed. Definitely worth checking out!
Cafe Lucia interested me when I did my research on restaurants in Healdsburg on our recent vacation to the Sonoma area. We loved all the food that we ordered. We tried several of the Portuguese tapas-style appetizers. For dinner my husband ordered the grilled sardines, my son the Fisherman's Seafood "Stew" and I had the mussels with a wonderfully fragrant broth. We split the trio of chocolate desserts with two glasses of Port. Yum! Our server was attentive and knowledgeable.
Loved the food! A bit quiet though we did have an early dinner. Friendly staff who accomodated our 2 year old extremely well.
We happened upon Cafe Lucia because we had skipped lunch and wanted to find a place to eat an early dinner. We were greeted like family and as the meal progressed, were wonderfully surprised at each point. We had the scallops and beet salad for an appetizer which both were out of this world. Our entrée consisted of the sea bass and the steak, both of which were cooked to perfection. We finished up our meal with the chocolate dessert, an assortment of amazing flavors. If we lived close by, we would spend many nights eating dinner here. I would Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant.
The ambiance and food of Cafe Lucia made us feel like we were vacationing in Portugal. We loved the presentation of the food as well as the great taste. We both had sea food which is often hard to find cooked right. The fruit desert was tasty and beautifully served.
Too much good food! Lamb entree was small but delicious. Fortunately, we had two appetizers and a salad and were already full. The four wine tastings (one red and one one white from Portugal and Sonoma) is terrific with unusual wines... and decent pours. The mussel appetizer had nice flavor. Only the salad was a little disappointing. Service was very attentive. The location is behind some buildings on the main square, but worth making the trip.
The service was absolutely professional and warm and friendly. The staff is very knowledgable and doesn't miss a beat. The only down side to the restaurant is that there are so many excellent options on the menu. The post ice cream and piri piri sauce is out of this world. It's so nice that nice people are doing such a great job. Can't wait to return.
We have been to Cafe Lucia several times and always enjoy it. The food is fantastic and just a little different due to the Portuguese influences and spices. Soooooo nice to have something different. We have taken several foodie friends and everyone loves it. Atmosphere is very nice and great patio for outdoor seating. Highly recommend!
The food was bursting with flavors and the ambiance was beautiful and peaceful. Lots of people took great care of us at our table. However we would have liked our server to check back with us. Complimentary dessert to acknowledge our special occasion was very much appreciated and spoke volumes for the thoughtfulness of the restaurant. We will be back!!
This is one of our favorite spots. The food is consistently GREAT and their wine list is wonderful. Try their house red. It's fabulous!
We dined in the beautiful courtyard on a warm evening. The owner Lucia greeted us personally and made sure we were comfortable. Because we had a client with us we needed everything to go well and it did. The servers were attentive and quick. The food was good to excellent, and the winelist was amazing. Their sorbet and ice cream sampler was the perfect end to a good meal.
I find myself returning time and again. Really love the food and the people. Try it yourself, I bet you have the same reaction.
New owners for this spot now serve Portuguese style food. Everything was delicious; nothing was over-powering with spices or exotic flavors. The presentation was excellent; the wait staff was gracious and accommodating. And the prices were moderate.
We loved everything about this restaurant. The food was brilliant, the prices incredibly reasonable, and the wine list was thoughtful and also well valued. Our only disappointment was that our waitress disappeared after taking our order and was not seen until the dessert menu was offered. The food was delivered by servers, we were never asked how our meal was or if we wanted anything additional (another piece of bread and another glass of wine.) We just couldn't find anyone to ask. When I ordered a Port flight, it would have been nice to have the chocolate covered hazelnuts they offer with the check as I was enjoying the flight. Nonetheless, easy to forgive the oversights due to the outstanding food and exquisite presentation.
This is a hidden gem in the lovely town of Healdsburg. You need to seek it out as it is down a hallway off of Healdsburg Blvd. All you can see from the street is the sign. The menu is imaginative, wonderfully cooked and presented. The flavors are subtle. The have brunch on the weekend. Order the Portuguese wine to go with the food----even though you are in the most wonderful wine area in the world and they have an extensive list of local wines. The desserts are creative with tastes of three different desserts built upon a theme (chocolate, apple, etc.) There is an outdoor dining area that is sheltered and great for both dining and drinks. Sonoma County locals and foodies have found Café Lucia. It is wonderful
Really good dining experience! Love the food, very friendly service,nice ambiance.. We plan on returning to Cafe Lucia soon!
This is a restaurant that everyone should try. It is Healdsburg's little secret.
All the food was presented in a beautiful fashion, and flavors were unique and delicious.
The food is excellent--especially the starters and desserts. Piri piri chocolate ice cream has to be experienced to be appreciated. The flights of Portuguese wines offer an original taste in a wine rich town. The restaurant is off the square and off the street in Healdsburg, and does not get the traffic it deserves. We are locals.Cafe Lucia has become our go-to place for out-of-town guests.
We had a really nice, comfortable experience. Our server was attentive & spent time describing the dishes for my picky husband. I collect cook books signed by the author/ chef. Their book was fabulous- a huge coffee table book filled w amazing recipes. The chef came from the kitchen & was so friendly & accommodating. He & his sister own the restaurant.
Excellent food.Service was good,pleasant but pacing was little uneven.
The menu was a great mix of traditional Portuguese dishes - some prepared with a modern touch - all with fresh, local ingredients. The one dish that stood out for me was the BOLINHOS de BACALHAU. My Portuguese grandmother made these on Christmas eve every year and the ones served here were exactly like hers - delicious!!!.....brought back great childhood memories! We sat outside - the patio dining was a great experience. The service was excellent and the prices are reasonable. We'll be back!
Manuel Azevedo's new restaurant, Cafe Lucia, is a new restaurant in Healdsburg. I loved the food ( I was there for lunch ), the presentation and the ambience. I mentioned on my Open Table reservation I was yhere for a birthday celebration and the restaurant served desert with a candle and sang Happy Birthday. It was lovely.
Excellent food Great presentation Great value for the quality
The food is first rate, the waitstaff was very knowledgeable. My wife had the fish stew and the broth was incredible. The waitress offered an appropriate wine pairing for each meal. We had a great time.
Wonderful food and the best sangria I ever tasted.
We enjoyed our first time here. We were the only customers at 1130am on a Sunday, nice but disappointing, We know they had a busy day on Satirday, as we stopped by to change our reservations. The food combinations for flavors was great. You can see brother Manuel's influence from LaSalette. The Tomato water shots was a pleasant surprise. The 5 choice appetizer plate especially the sardine pate and crusted goat cheese and almonds were great. We did however have to wait for approximately one hour for our main dish to be served. But you know it was freshly made!! The wait probably would not have made a difference because of the ambience, but we were on a timeline. Happy to say we still met our timeline despite the wait. We will be back!!!
We had dinner for four at Café Lucia before attending a play. We arrived early, but were seated right away at our choice of seats (inside versus outside). The waitress helped us with our dinner and wine choices and was very attentive. The food was tasty, and in contrast to what one gets at many restaurants, the portions were not overlarge, but definitely enough to be satisfying. The desserts were excellent, consisting in three samples of various tasty sweets, filling, but again, not overlarge. And finally, the servers were quite respectful of our need to finish in time for the play.
Great food, Great service. All around fantastic experience.
Very pleasant environment. The fish stew was wonderful with a well seasoned and light broth. Service was attentive without being over bearing. We sat inside because the patio seemed more crowded and a bit noisier. Definitely will return.
Loved Cafe Lucia - great service and incredible food!!! The wait staff works together as a team and there is always someone to answer a question/help you. We asked the waitress to pair wines with our dinner and she did a great job. We got to try some interesting new wines (Portuguese) along with some interesting new foods. We did some tasting plates and then two main courses plus a WONDERFUL dessert with samplings of three things (we chose the Portuguese/traditional dessert and we highly recommend it). All in all a FABULOUS evening.
We had the fisherman's stew and the porkloin. The stew was fantastic. As an appetizer, we had the sardines. It was very flavorful. The porkloin has a great cumin flavour to it. We would return.
We really enjoyed everything we ordered. The beet salad was wonderful. We wanted to try Portugese food so I had the salt cod stew and it was delicious and most filling. My husband loved the seafood soup. We both love fado music and it was playing perfectly in the background. We really appreciated that we could hear ourselves talk. The service was a perfect pace - we had a relaxing meal, but didn't feel we were waiting unduly long for any food.
Creative menu and wine list. The food was delicious and beautifully presented.
Cafe Lucia is graced with a comfortable, modern ambiance, attentive, accommodating staff, and a superb chef. We had a very long, celebratory lunch and were never rushed. We selected from the tasting plates, salads, starters, entrees, wine and dessert. Everything was thoroughly enjoyable. if you haven't tried Cafe Lucia yet, why on earth haven't you?
We visited this wonderful new restaurant in Healdsburg and had a great dinner of nuevo Portuguese food. The scallops were perfection on a bed of shredded leeks, the soup was sublime and the entree of stuffed pork loin was perfect. Some interesting wine choices (not all from Sonoma County) added to the meal. It is tucked back away from the street but quite close to the main square. Find it and you will have a great dining experience.
We were warmly welcomed into this nice spot, hidden down a narrow hallway/laneway on the main street in Healdsburg. It's worth finding this place! We ordered and enjoyed Caldo Verde, Bolinhos de Bacalhau, Sardinhas Assadas and Caldeirada. All of the dishes were spot-on authentic and flavorful. Oh, and the Caramel Trio dessert was heavenly. We were very happy with our whole experience and will return the next time we make it to Healdsburg.
As indicated above, the food was outstanding; ditto the service. It is an excellent place to go if you actually want to have a conversation. I only gave four stars for ambience as our table was too close to the table next to us. So much so that their server was noticeably challenged in delivering their food.
Exquisite food, beautiful ambiance, friendly and well informed staff. Love the fact that it is locally owned restaurant, beer is great, husband and I will make this place our date night destination :) .

OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE CORN ERFORMANCE TRIALS, 2006 PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY CROPS AHOMA COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF PLANT AND SOIL SCIENCES DIVISION OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES & NATURAL RESOURCES OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY PT 2006-12 November 2006 Vol. 18, No.12 Rick Kochenower Britt Hicks Area Research and Extension Specialist Area Extension Livestock Specialist Plant and Soil Sciences Department Northwest District TRIAL OBJECTIVES AND PROCEDURES Each year the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service conducts corn performance trials in the Oklahoma panhandle. These trials provide producers, extension educators, industry representatives, and researchers with information on corn hybrids marketed in Oklahoma. Company participation was voluntary, so some hybrids marketed in Oklahoma were not included in the test. Company or brand name, entry designation, plant characteristics, and maturity information, were provided by the companies and was not validated by OSU; therefore, we strongly recommend consulting company representatives for more detailed information regarding these traits and disease resistance ratings (Table 2). Irrigated test plots were established at the Oklahoma Panhandle Research and Extension Center (OPREC), near Goodwell and the Joe Webb farm, near Guymon. Fertility levels, herbicide use, and soil series (when available) are listed with data. Trials were two 25-foot rows seeded at a target population of 32,000 plants/ac. Plots were trimmed to 20 feet prior to being harvested to determine grain yield. The ensilage trial was seeded the same as grain trial with 10 feet of one row harvested to determine yield. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with four replications. Grain yields are reported consistent with U.S. No. 1 grade corn i.e. 56 lbs/bu and adjusted to moisture content of 15.5%. Corn ensilage was harvested at the early dent stage with average moisture content of 65.3% and production is reported as tons/ac adjusted to 65% moisture. GROWING CONDITIONS The planting period was characterized by a lack of soil moisture due to inadequate rainfall received throughout the winter and spring. Most producers used pre-irrigation to obtain desired surface and subsoil moisture levels. Soil temperature of 61° F on April 1 at the two-inch depth was consistent with observations in previous years. During the growing season rainfall was below the long-term average from April through late July (Table 1), but rainfall in late July and August reduced late season irrigation when compared to 2005. Rainfall at OPREC (10.88 inches) was less than most locations in the panhandle, with rainfall amounts east of Guymon totaling near 19 inches from late June through August. The panhandle region had several yield reducing hailstorms from mid May until early July. The hailstorms in May led to some acres being replanted. OPREC received two hail and windstorms in June which dramatically reduced the yield for corn planted around April 10 (Fig. 1). This is in contrast to previous years data from the planting date experiment, as the highest yields in the previous 6 years were obtained on the April 10 planting date. High moisture corn was cut with short delays due to rainfall in late August and early September, but there were no major delays for dry corn harvested from mid September to mid October. RESULTS Grain yield, test weight, harvest moisture, and plant populations for OPREC and Webb trials are presented (Tables 3-4). Ensilage yields are reported in Table 5. Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) and Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN), however are not reported, because no significant differences existed among hybrids. Averages were 33.4, and 64.0%, for ADF and TDN respectively. Similarly, there were no differences among hybrids in net energy values for maintenance, lactation,

Dearest reader: I'd just like to let you know that I intend to kill you.
Calling 911 yet? Why not? I just threatened your life! If not a police call, then my threat at least merits a blog post, right?
Just about every week, it seems there's a story about a celebrity, athlete or politician receiving death threats from morons on Twitter. The media often treat these frivolous incidents like they're a fatwa on Salman Rushdie. The latest example: New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, for performing poorly on fantasy football teams. (Fitting that there be fantasy threats for a fantasy sport.)
The stories often give the impression that this is some kind of shocking event for which we should pity the "victims," but anyone who's spent 10 minutes online knows that these assertions are entirely toothless.
What's surprising isn't that death threats on Twitter are happening, but rather that the media seem to be covering them more and more frequently. It's one thing if public figures are actually being hunted down and attacked by @Chad_Bro697 on the regular, but exactly 0.00 percent of these celebrity threats have even resulted in an assault. It's like reading regularly that a meteor could in fact crush Mandy Patinkin today.
Erin Andrews, Ted Cruz, Selena Gomez, pretty much every NFL player . . . They've all been in harm's way of these entirely harmless threats, followed by handwringing coverage in prominent places like Yahoo, The Washington Post, and Mashable. Anna Gunn made a big note in her New York Times op-ed about receiving death tweets for her role as Skyler White in "Breaking Bad." Type the name of any public figure and "death threat" into Google or "kill" into Twitter. There's a good chance you won't be disappointed - except for, well, with humanity.
So how do we stop this trend of pointless reporting? There really aren't any clear solutions. There will always be a dark corner of the Internet, so you can't stop the source. And you can't tell websites to stop publishing these stories, because they surely generate boatloads of mindless page views. Maybe the solution is to just let the Internet continue to be the Internet, and people will eventually grow bored of this "news." Or perhaps we should just send death tweets to the writers who report on these occurrences. It seems like they take these threats rather seriously.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
A new study shows the new health care law actually might hurt your chances of getting insurance at least through the company you work for.
According to the national consulting firm nearly one in ten employers say they will drop insurance coverage for their workers.
Since everyone is going to be forced to carry insurance or pay a fine soon the extra costs might hit individuals.
As well as the government.
Paul -- is executive director of Deloitte center for health solutions so Paul in looking at this issue you find that.
Already about 10% of other companies out there have dropped health insurance coverage over the last decade is that true.
That's correct and it's because a cost.
Really the employer is facing.
Kind of a double whammy they have to take care of rising health care cost and the under payments for those without insurance for Medicare and Medicaid.
Those under payments.
Are passed through to employers so they they it's a double whammy.
I imagine I imagine we're talking mostly about small businesses and when they look at their competitors who may have dropped.
Health insurance.
You find that about 10% or so are thinking of dropping health care over the next few years.
That's exactly right larger the company the less likely they are to think they would drop coverage and the irony is all these companies wish not to drop coverage it's just a matter of cost so I don't think this is really a matter of the affordable -- per say as much as it is a fear.
That cost are gonna continue to draw employers away from coverage altogether -- President Obama famously said before this thing got past he said if you like your health care plan you can keep it I guess you can only keep -- if the plan is still offer right.
Well that's correct but you know there are a lot of things in the law that conceivably could bend the cost curve.
Accountable care bundled payments basically paying for results instead of volume.
But those things play out over several years and employers face premium increases in the next sixty days.
So -- it's it's really.
A challenge for an employer to figure out how -- gonna navigate through this in the smaller employers face that the harshest.
-- we pass this thing -- in the congress did two and a half years ago does anybody really understand what this law is gonna do.
Well you know our survey found that a lot of employers know what they're required to -- around a bit of fits but the rest of the -- they really don't understand.
Our consumer survey say the same thing most people.
Don't understand the law now you know two and a half years later so.
We got an education process to do on all sides this debate to make sure we're talking about.
The Affordable Care Act in total rather than the pieces that get picked apart Paul carefully from the Deloitte -- all thank you.
My pleasure and.

Roof Restaurant
Online Reservations
My husband and I recently took my three youngest children (ages 8-12) to dinner at The Roof Restaurant. It was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was quiet, and the entire staff was very friendly and welcoming. We all enjoyed the great food, and had an awesome experience!
This is a great place for a special occasion date. Food is good but the view is what you are paying for. Fun family dinner with my adult children.
The view was absolutely breath-taking and the ambiance made it a great date location.
If you are looking for a great view of temple square this is the place! The ambience at the Roof was amazing with a live piano player playing classical, contemporary, top 40 songs on the piano. We were lucky to get one of the 14 window side tables which was our whole reason for going to the restaurant. The lion house rolls were amazing and the ribs were so tender! It was a little crowded initially at the buffet but we went right after the priesthood session of general conference. Our server was great, personable, and attentive. Overall great experience!
Start with dessert. To many to choose from. Good variety of main course meals. The view is the best part as it matches the the food.
View and atmosphere can't be beat. Food is mediocre. Prime rib was much too rare, other hot items okay, but not great. Salad bar is nice. Desserts are amazing, especially the creme brulee! Eat the rolls while they're hot. Service was so-so. Long wait for waitress, plates not cleared on time, had to ask for water repeatedly. The shrimp are wonderful, but the cocktail sauce is loaded with peppercorns. I always bring my own sauce! The Roof is extremely overpriced for the quality of food they serve. Go for the view and the setting, and not for the food, and you won't be disappointed.
Food was excellent, I especially loved the pork, shrimp and deserts
I would say that the atmosphere was great for the the occasion of getting engaged, or special events.
Always a favorite of mine and never disappoints. The Roof is always a sure bet when you want a fantastic meal with unparalleled views of Salt lake City.
No place can compete with the food, the setting, the music of the Rooftop. We were celebrating both my spouse's birthday & our anniversary, & the experience couldn't have been better. We never can decide what our favorite tadte was that night...the creme brulee,? The perfect prime rub? The berry mousse? All too good to set aas second best.
The only thing keeping this restaurant from becoming exceptional, is not being able to get an alcoholic drink, such as good wines with your meal, and young children and crying babies. This keeps it from becoming a romantic experience with your partner, or becoming a five star restaurant for adults. Other than that, the food was really good, and the piano player was a nice touch. This makes the restaurant like a Chuck-A-Rama for teetotalers. Time to enter the world stage, and get out of the dark ages. (Good luck with that!).
Our server and every other server we saw were upbeat, but also soft spoken. They were all friendly and helpful. Live piano provided the perfect entertainment and ambiance, playing everything from some classical, to some new hit songs. The view from The Roof was unforgettable, and the food was so incredible i nearly cried. The items in their buffet were wide in range and all wonderful, tasteful choices. I wish every dining experience could be like this!
It was a great place to eat for our anniversary. At first I wasn't sure of a buffet, but this one was great. Thanks!
My siblings and I, a total of ten of us, ate at the roof. We enjoyed great food and had no problem visiting with each other. I worried that it might be difficult to hear as we talked, but we had no problems. The service was great. Our servers were friendly and informative. I like when a server gives suggestions of their favorite dishes and our server did just that.
The Roof is the perfect place for a romantic anniversary. The service was outstanding and the food was delicious. The best part is that since it's an all you can eat buffet, it caters to many tastes. Every table offers an amazing view of the Salt Lake Valley. We will definitely be returning for our next special occasion.
The Roof is known throughout Salt Lake City as a place for special occasions. The food is wonderful (try their French onion soup as a beginning) and the windows overlooking Temple Square make this an amazing dining experience. Our table was next to the piano so it made it a little harder to carry on a conversation, but it was still wonderful.
Recently I had the opportunity to celebrate my beirthday at the Roof Restaurant and found it to be a very enjoyable experience. The food quality is magnificent. I especially enjoyed the large size of the shrimp offered. The music and ambience were amazing. The wait staff responded to every request, while allowing us time to enjoy the excellent cuisine. Overall I would recommend this restaurant desiring a romantic evening with their date or spouse. Five stars!!!!
Amazing views, food and service. Would recommend to anyone celebrating something special or just want an amazing night!
We have eaten at the Roof multiple times throughout the past several years and have never been disappointed. The food is always delicious. The view is amazing since it is across the street from the Salt Lake City LDS temple. This past Friday we were there as the sun was going down and the night lights hit the marble structure--absolutely gorgeous! The meal starts with rolls with honey butter--only Maddox in Perry, UT offers rolls this good. The salad and then the main course are delicious with their own high-lights, but the desserts are my favorite. The bread pudding and creme brulee are the best I've ever had. It is not cheap as it costs about $50 per person after tax & tip, but it is worth it.
My wife and I last ate there 10 years ago the night I proposed, we loved it then and loved it last Friday November 1, 2013. This was our 10th wedding anniversary. Everything excellent.
The Roof is a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was amazing and the temple view was really the icing on the cake... which was heavenly as well.
My wife and I have dined many times at the Roof. We like to enjoy different restaurants and the fact that we keep coming back to the same place is because you have never failed to please. Both the food and the staff have always been wonderful. Thank you for all the pleasure you have provided so consistently.
It was a very nice restaurant with great views and very helpful staff. The food was excellent. It made for an enchancted evening. Now if I could just get it for free then it would be perfect.
The Roof was peaceful, a welcome change from the bustle of the outside world. My wife and I enjoyed the service and the whole ambiance of the experience. They had a talented pianist playing soft, gentle music, some even from modern hits just toned down to be peaceful. They go out of their way to please. I would reccomend the Roof to anyone who would like a nice break from the bustle and not feel rushed.
20 years ago my wife and I experienced The Roof for the first time. It was wonderful to see it hasn't changed! Thank you for the wonderful experience Stephen.
The Roof has amazing food, a gorgeous view, and the best customer service! Our waitress was so nice, always helpful and friendly taking our plates. All of the staff is so professional and accommodating. The food is absolutely five star. And the ambience is so romantic. I love coming here for special occasions! I highly recommend The Roof for someone who wants to make the night extra special!
This was our very first time eating at The Roof Restaurant, but it was a very good experience. I would recommend everything but for one thing. While the buffet provides very good food, excellently presented, and wonderful service, it seems over-priced for those of us with smaller appetites. Is there a way to structure the pricing to take this into account? I'm 57 and trim, trying to stay that way while enjoying the good food and scenic atmosphere of The Roof.
The atmosphere was great. The food was good but not great or outstanding by any means. The price per person is extremely high. Again the atmosphere was great and I feel that is partly why the prices are so high. I would not care to go back unless it was a special occasion.
We took some friends from out of town here and it was spectacular. We use the Roof for very special occasions because of the excellent food and the view is spectacular. Its all fixed price buffet but don't let that cause any hesitation to you. It should be more described as "you get everything in the menu for one price" For fine Salt Lake dining, consider the The Roof!
As always, our experience at The Roof was a fine celebration for my husband's birthday! The choice of gourmet food was wonderful! Meat, seafood, salad. Of course, my favorite part was sampling all the desserts. Best carrot cake I've ever tasted! More than anything, I loved the view!!! The piano music was beautiful and the totally beautiful scene of the city was gorgeous, especially the awe inspiring Mormon temple. I have never felt such sweetness while eating!!
everything was great except for service, had to wait 30 minutes to get empty drinks refilled, then another 20 after our meal to get thecheck
I love the view, food, and service. It's a wonderful restaurant; The Roof is one of my favorite place to eat on a special occasion.
Up front it should be said that this is buffet style eating, but the food was incredible and the dessert protions were small so you could try a bit of everything. The bread pudding and chicken florentine were particularly good. There was an excellent view of the Salt Lake City LDS Temple and the rest of the city. For those who are visiting Salt Lake City and are not LDS you should know there is no Alcohol served.
Our requested table was ready when we arrived and we were treated to many "Happy Birthday" songs on the piano which we sat right next to; The food and ambiance was perfect, our daughter really enjoyed her special night out. Thanks to the servers everything was very special.
My husband and I love going to The Roof for our anniversary. The Roof has a wonderful view of the Salt Lake Temple and Temple Square. There is also beautiful music being played be a pianist. The food is delicious. This time they had a sweet potato and green apple salad with maple vinaigrette that was amazing. We will definitely be returning soon.
Returning to The Roof is always accompanied by a high level of excited anticipation, because everything about the experience is magnificent. The staff love their work and love to serve at their best. It is always nice to hear an excellent pianist while enjoying a superb dinner. Plan on spending an hour and a half at least, for the entire event is to be savored as a feast - friendly, accommodating service, ambiance, scenery, music, aromas, oh yes, and food.
From the gracious hostesses and the lovely views to the delicious food and vast selection, the Roof Restaurant offered a perfect special-occasion dining experience.
We went to the Roof Top restaurant the night the Christmas lights were lit on Temple Square. What a view! We thoroughly enjoyed the food and service, too.
We go to The Roof every year as a family tradition, and every year it never disappoints. The buffet is delicious and full of a variety of high-quality choices. The servers are very kind and attentive. The view is spectacular and we love to go when the Christmas lights are all turned on. A fantastic experience.
Beautiful view, wonderful service, magnificent food!
I had surgery after I made the reservation and required special setting. Your staff were wonderful in accommodating my needs. We had a great night. Thank you so much.
This is a favorite choice for our anniversary. The view is wonderful and our anniversary falls on a date so that we can enjoy the beautiful Christmas lights. The staff always makes you feel special and food is amazing!
The view was just breathtaking. With the gorgeous Christmas lights all around the Temple square everything just looked magical. The food buffet choices were abundant and delicious. The piano playing added a wonderful ambiance along with everything else. Hope to make this an annual Christmas tradition!
The Roof was ready for us and our reservation as we arrived at 5pm. Even as the restaurant was just opened all the food was perfect and fabulously displayed. The dessert table such a cornucopia of temptation!
The Roof gives a person a little something extra to think about for the holidays. We went with some of our siblings, and the lights at temple square were magnificent. It was a calm, laid back environment, where we could visit and enjoy past memories and create new ones. It was so comfortable though, that 90 minutes wasn't long enough.
If you are in the downtown area, and aren't afraid to spend a bit, the Roof is a great option. The view is fantastic. The only complaint is the menu rarely varies. Never have anything other than prime rib, ham, some chicken dish, usually cordon bleu, and pasta primavera. The dessert options have changed many times, they have a lovely selection, of which you can sample some/all and it's great. We've gone there every year for our company Christmas party, and it is just a bit boring in the meat/side dish options. Same thing year after year. If you feel a bit on the wild side, try the Italian Soda.
It was my 2 years wedding anniversary day. My wife was really happy with nice view by the window with really nice waitress. Their desert was really good. I want to go again on my special day.
We enjoyed every minute of our time at the roof and all of the food was excellent! The view of the Christmas lights on temple square was breathtaking. The musical background was just right. We want to make it one of our Christmas traditions to come to the Roof every year in early December. Service was friendly and unrushed. We could not have enjoyed it more!
This was my first time here and I loved it. Great view. Great service. Lovely music the entire time. Well worth the price.
Went to The Roof for our 30th Anniversary...have been there many times and it has never let us down! Atmosphere, Food, Service were all impeccable! Highly recommend for special occasions, or for those looking for an amazing view of the Salt Lake Temple and LDS Conference Center.

God Bless you and i hope we find out who did this to you.

Micah is the Principal Second Violinist of the South Carolina Philharmonic and the Associate Concertmaster of Symphony Orchestra Augusta. He offers concert quality live music for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and/or reception. He takes great pride in providing the same standard of music performance for a wedding as he does when soloing with a symphony in a concert hall or performing chamber music across America and Europe.
It is important to know what a live musician could sound like on your wedding day, and especially how the musicians you decide to hire will sound. Just as you would not want to wait until your wedding day to see your ceremony and reception venue, taste the cake and food for the reception, pick out your flowers, or try on your wedding dress, you should also not have to settle for a musician you have never heard and leave your music to chance. You should expect a professional musician to provide you with examples of their live wedding performances in order to best show how they can perform on your wedding day. This is why Micah is happy to provide many video and audio clips on the Wedding Music Samples page of his website, all of which were recorded live at actual weddings. You should be completely convinced that the music will sound as beautiful as you imagined, and performed at the level you deserve.
In addition to performing as a solo violinist for your wedding, Micah can also assemble a duo, trio, or string quartet comprised of top professional musicians he regularly works with in Columbia SC, Augusta GA, and all of South Carolina.

Bill would protect same-sex, bi-national couplesFebruary 15,2013
MONTPELIER More than a year after U.S. immigration authorities sought to split up a same-sex, bi-national couple living in Vermont, Sens. Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Susan Collins of Maine are pushing legislation to protect such couples.
After a threatening letter from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services 14 months ago, Frances Herbert and Takako Ueda of Dummerston got a follow-up letter in May saying the agency would hold off for two years before trying to deport Ueda to her native Japan for an expired visa.
Now legislation introduced by Leahy and Collins backed by President Barack Obama would halt such deportations by allowing Americans to sponsor their same-sex permanent partners who are immigrants for permanent residency.
There are an estimated 36,000 same-sex, bi-national couples in the country.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER An appeals court ruling this fall on contributions to super PACs may help...

F1 discussion
Just seen this on F1 on Sky. No idea what's happened yet. Every mechanic in the pitlane is taking part in trying to put this fire out. Everyone is being moved out of the paddock. Lots of concern about cars and trucks out the back of the garage.
The fire has now spread to Caterham, Sauber, Toro Rosso and Force India. Everyone's fleeing apart from the guys fighting the fire. Very brave.
It's not a small fire either so I wonder what was happening there? On the F1 Forum I saw Lotus mechanics running up the paddock with fire extinguishers as well so it seems everyone is trying to help.
Update: Possible KERS fire/explosion.
Damn, I can't get my Sky Sports stream to work! Images, anyone??
Poor Pastor being stopped for pictures when he's just trying to find his Fiancée.
BBC's just gone off air (red button forum has finished) – keep us posted please guys.
Guys covered in extinguisher foam everywhere. People still worried, being shepherded away. Apparently Senna's car looks VERY badly damaged. Everyone being moved out of the pit lane.
BBC said there were injuries before going offline.
Force India mechanic taken to Hospital. The garage has been gutted and Senna's car has been destroyed as far as I know.
@keithcollantine – Any news?
Oh boy… just looking some of the pics: http://twitpic.com/9kobe8 https://twitter.com/#!/sdainyeccion/status/201694439289266176/photo/1
Jeez – hope everyone got out alright…
Think the fire's all out now. Lots of teams helped, great to see, and everyone moved out flammable things asap to stop more stuff going up. Head counts going on now.

Feb. 21, 2012 — Last month, Lassen County's Board of Supervisors approved changes to its Child Protective Services (CPS) Department and created the Child and Family Services Department (CFS) under the leadership of Maria Carlomagno-Brice.
As part of that change, Carlomagno-Brice was asked to give a monthly report to the board. She delivered her first report last week, and it contained a positive message.
Feb. 21, 2012 — If one defines the news as what people talk about, then the recent developments in "The Speed Freak Killers" case certainly qualify.
The story has ballooned beyond imagination from one of local interest to one of regional, national and perhaps even international coverage.
This true story could even be the basis for a great made-for-television thriller, although almost no one would believe it actually happened.
Feb. 21, 2012 — "Who is Paul McCartney?" To the amazement of many, this question became a trending topic on Twitter when the music star who first gained fame in the 1960s as a member of The Beatles took the stage at the Grammys.
The next day a columnist commented that the Twitter trend was "surely a joke."
Joke or not, being remembered is important to people. Most want to leave a legacy. Most want to be memorialized in some way.
Feb. 14, 2012 — I must admit I don't know what they do in elementary school on Valentine's Day anymore.
I remember I always especially enjoyed Valentine's Day back in my elementary school days (the 1950s, yikes) simply because of the sweet treats we'd enjoy after lunch that day.
And to tell you the truth, I don't suspect things have changed all that much over the decades.

A pair of researchers at last week's Black Hat conference demonstrated how a simple JavaScript app could be used to compromise a wireless router with little to no user interaction.
Network devices – such as routers, switches, printers and firewalls – can be hijacked to give a remote attacker full control of the network, Phil Purviance and Joshua Brashars, senior security consultants at AppSec Consulting, said during their presentation on Thursday. The attack method relied on JavaScript and cross-site request forgery, they said.
While demonstrations of hacking routers and other networked hardware is not new to Black Hat, this presentation was unusual because so much of the attack was automated. Its success hinged on social engineering, a modern browser supporting HTML5 and lax password security.
The two demonstrated their attack with a widely available, but older model small office/home office (SOHO) router from Linksys by Cisco. Attacking this made sense because users tend to ignore what is happening with their routers so long as the devices keep doing their jobs, Brashars said.
Purviance added that many enterprises have SOHO routers running smaller networks, which means attackers could use this method to piggyback onto the enterprise network.
"You've essentially turned these SOHO devices into a full-blown Linux attack framework," Brashars said.
The blended attack would begin with a social engineering scam to lure the victim to a malicious website and execute a specially crafted JavaScript program, Brashars said.
The program then instructs the browser to scan the local network and list all connected devices. The next step launches a brute-force attack on one of the devices to crack its login information.
This becomes even easier if the password on the router hasn't been changed from the manufacturer's default.
Once the attacker has access to the router interface, it's relatively simple to use HTML5 to launch a cross-site request forgery attack to download and install malicious firmware onto the router, granting full control over the device.
"We're replacing an operating system on a network device and taking complete control of it," Purviance said.
To eliminate this attack opportunity, cross-origin resource sharing in HTML5 should be more restrictive, and embedded devices should have cross-request forgery protections on embedded devices, Purviance said.
Also, web browsers should not allow external processes from accessing local network addresses, and networked devices should be getting automatic updates instead of relying on users to manually install them.
Changing the router's administrator password to something strong and complex will also make it harder for the attack to succeed. Cisco is one of the few vendors that now force users to pick a new default password during initial set-up. In fact, the user has to manually disable the security policy in order to avoid changing the password, or to select a weak password.
But while some vendors have taken steps to increase the device's security, most have not, Brashars said.
