Salt Lake City is never one to rest on its laurels when it comes to food and drink, and the last three months have been no exception. If it’s been a while since you’ve checked out the latest and greatest changes to our foodie scene, we’ve got just what you need—a recap of some of the very best new openings in town. Manoli's I’m starting this month’s roundup with not a new restaurant per se, but a welcome back to one of the most loved names on the Salt Lake City dining scene. After a five-month enforced hiatus, the fine dining Greek cuisine of Manoli’s is now open for business once more. The story behind the reboot started in late 2022, the owners receiving terrible news the night before a fully booked New Year’s Eve service. A freak water line break had flooded the restaurant, rendering it unusable. Months of restorative work unfurled. The restaurant is now back in business with eager locals filling up the reservation book in support. Of course, it’s more than goodwill that drives the staunchly loyal following. The relaunched menu remains true to what followed before—a core of Greek meze—small shareable dishes, presented in an elegant and modern space. The restaurant now sports a deep inventory of Greek wine, that’s completely unique in the state. 402 East Harvey Milk Boulevard #2, Salt Lake City, UT 84111 (801) 532-3760 manolison9th.com…
