the copper onion – slc

Dinner out, just HippoDad and me, at The Copper Onion in SLC. We go out to a nice restaurant, just the two of us, about once a year. Fine food is a passion we share; so nice to bond over that. And so nice to be just us. Big thank you to HippoGrandma and HippoAunts/Uncles for spending time with our little Hippos tonight.

 Openers. Spring greens in a tangy, acidic dressing with warm, crisp-batter-fried goat cheese. Pork belly with roasted brussels sprouts and cherries. 

Mains. Crispy-roasted chicken over broth; warm kale salad with carrots, currants, and a sweet-lemony dressing. Wagyu beef stroganoff with mushrooms and chives in a creamy sauce with fresh noodles. Rose-honey cocktail. Sarsaparilla. 

Desserts. Blueberry pomegranate sorbet. Vanilla ice cream. 

Such a terrific meal. We'd love to come back again and try more of the menu.
