About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighborhood gem

WE HAVE MOVED! OUR NEW LOCATION IS 4699 S HIGHLAND DRIVE, SLC, UT.

SLC's most glamorous, sexy and taste bud tantalizing restaurant has elevated their experience. Tear drop chandeliers, off-white banquettes, a mixture of velvet and sherpa chairs in the lounge and bar area create an ultra hip vibe for those who like to sit in the buzz !! For those who'd rather have a more quiet and romantic experience, the upstairs offers a more tranquil setting while overlooking the vibrance below. The other dining rooms offer either fireplace ambiance or Mt Olympus views! Our private rooms host up to 10, 20, 24 and 58 guests respectively. Our privately enclosed backyard patio overlooks Mt Olympus and features fire-pit seating!

Chef Matt's flavorful, hearty cuisine is as beautiful to look at as it is to savor! Local favorites include Chanterelle Mushroom Soup, Toast Smögen and Crispy Fried Chicken!

Due to the more formal and intimate nature of the ambiance, we welcome children 4 and over. NO INFANTS.

As always, great experience at Kimi's! We were celebrating a birthday and everything from the drinks and food to the service were excellent. We love the cozy atmosphere and the attention to detail. Our meals included a deconstructed beef tenderloin, sea bass and the steak tartare and all were very nicely presented and yummy! The cauliflower appetizer, frites and soups all had fantastic flavor. Thanks for a great evening.

I’m a big fan of Kimi’s and I dine there as after as I can. However, this occasion was a disappointment. The crusted tuna was lukewarm warm and the usually spectacular pepper steak was mediocre. For $300 for two, it was, as I said, disappointing. I’ll be back, because I know they can do better.

23% added gratuity for below average service is completely unacceptable on an expensive meal. Food was good. Drinks were good. Service was not. At this price point I would expect all to be above average. But then adding 23% for the sub par portion is in acceptable. As an average I am a 25-30% tipper. But expect decent service for that

Our server was not good. No polish, no knowledge of the wines, zero sense of time. Food was good. Not exceptional, but good. The wine glasses were ugly and terrible to drink from. Tons of crumbs in the chairs. No hospitality. Mediocre at best.

The food and service were excellent! Two of us ordered the Halibut and it was cooked perfectly which is not the norm. One of us had the pork chop and it was seasoned and cooked deliciously!

Kimis is always great. The staff is always on the ball, and the owner Kimis is visible each time. The food is very good. There are many creative cocktails on the menu. The decor is beautiful.
