Under New Management

A New Face to Lamb’s Grill  

After over sixty years in the business, John Speros is finally retiring. “I think someone with a little more vision and innovation should take over,” said Speros. He has sold his family business to Francis Liong, who has spent his life in the restaurant business and intends to keep the core popular menu items as they are. Liong plans to modernize the POS  system and replace some of the less popular menu items. But he intends to maintain the overall vision that the Speros family started with Bill Lamb over 100 years ago.

Now Open

Food, Wine and Cheese

Located at 268 S. State, chef Matthew Lake, a NYC transplant, has brought a fine dining experience to this upscale city location. Feast on a wide variety of tempting entrees or just sit back with some wine and cheese. Phone 801-779-4730 for reservations or visit ZyRestaurant.com

Green Pig Pub – A Roof-top bar with amazing views pays off for Green Pig.

Bridget Gordon has grown her Green Pig into a large restaurant and bar, and with the addition of a rooftop terrace and deck, the place has a fantastic view of the Salt Lake City skyline and the City and County Building.

Under Construction

During a blizzard on January 16, 2008, demolition of the Sugar House Granite Block began. Utah Stories has the event in our video archives. Construction was to begin in the Spring of 2008, but then the bottom fell out of the commercial retail and housing market. Craig Mecham didn’t return our calls this time to inform of any new progress on proceeding with plans.

In other SLC market place news: Metropolitan Restaurant is closed after 22 years in business. Karen Olsen was the proprietor and she lead the restaurant to numerous dining awards and accolades. Studio Soiree in Sugar House has also closed, deciding not to renew their lease. Frody Volger’s Vienna Bistro closed his doors on Main Street. Hi-Grade Meats has closed after 56 years in business.
