The New Yorker restaurant is an institution in Salt Lake City and for good reason! The menu changes seasonally, using the best ingredients available.Chef Pliler travels the country looking for inspiration for his menu, and the resultsare amazing! I don't know in what restaurant the previous reviewer dined, (back in 2009) but my guess s that they have no concept of what fine dining really is.\r

I've been told that Chef Pliler checks every plate that leaves his kitchen (and by the way, Chef Pliler has never cooked in any of Gastronomy'sother locations). As for the lamps in the dining room, I am told they came from the old Hotel Utah, and I believe add a wonderful ambiance to the meal. The restaruant is not a ""dark, dank basement"" but it most defintely IS an elegant, upscale, long time favorite of Salt Laker's, providing consistgently delicious food in a relaxing atmosphere with professional service. Perhaps the previous reviewer should stick to the Spaghetti Factory, where the meals are cheap and all-inclusive, the menu is voluminously long, and servers spout their greetings by rote.
