Restaurant Review: Harry's

Restaurant:	Harry's
Cuisine:	American
Rating:	Solid
Price:	$40-$60 for two adults (tip not included).
Locations:	1355 East 2100 South, Salt Lake City, UT 651 West 10600 South, South Jordan, UT
Website:	www.latituderg.com/Harrys.aspx

I was invited to lunch and dinner today by two separate parties; I had lunch with some friends and dinner with my in-laws. The arrangements were made independently from each other but coincidentally were made at the same restaurant, Harry's, albeit at the two different Harry's locations. Kind of funny.

For lunch I ate at the South Jordan branch. It is located in a newly completed building in a small upper-scale strip-mall type of facility. The restaurant, with 20-foot ceilings, was spacious but at the same time felt somewhat empty. It was clean and the service was prompt and attentive. I had the Sashimi Tuna Salad. It was delicious. One of my friends had the "Triple Spread" (Herbed goat cheese, hummus, and sundried tomato pesto with warm pita triangles); I sampled a bit... it was very good. I'd recommend either. For dessert I had the white chocolate bread pudding which was very fine.

For dinner I met my in-laws at the Sugarhouse branch of Harry's (which is located just down the street from Robert and Jessica's home). The occasion was Karen's graduation from BYU. I ordered the Roasted Pork Prime Rib with roasted red pepper mashed red potatoes. The menu stated it was a "double cut" chop; instead I was served two "single cut" chops. I had visions of JaK's Double Cut Pork Chop, but it wasn't nearly as good. The potatoes were quite tasty. I had the "Apple Crunch" for dessert, but it was not impressive.

Summary: Decent eats. The menu provides a variety of options for many different tastes.

Another Day in Utah (4)
Like most business trips, I spent the day doing two things: working and eating out. Work is going well, I am getting some training, interacting first hand with the team (and my boss), and enjoying seeing old friends that have been at Verio for almost as long as I have.

I ate out for both lunch and dinner, coincidentally at the same restaurant, Harry's, albeit at two different locations. I ate lunch at Harry's in South Jordan with a couple of old high school chums who are also on the committee for my Skyline High School Class of 1987 Reunion. And I ate dinner at Harry's in Sugarhouse with my in-laws to celebrate the college graduation of Karen (my wife's youngest sister). I also spent some time in the evening playing some games with Robert, Jess, Karen, Dick, and Bertha. We played Phase 10 - Dick cleaned our clocks (so lucky!).
