Van Ryder, a Rooftop Bar

I love this place. I wish there were more rooftop venues around. The ambience is fantastic. Super cozy and the outdoor fire pits are great for having good conversation. We ordered the charcuterie board, the fries, calamari, and the fish and chips and they were all fantastic. Also the skillet cookie was great too!

Made a reservation for a Friday night, good thing because it was busy. But the food and drinks were delicious. The charcuterie board was really well put together and the drinks matched perfectly. The service was a little slow, but not terrible considering how busy. The atmosphere was rich and romantic. Great views and not too loud to have conversations. Will definitely visit again!

We were here for 2 special events. The rooftop views of the skyline and mountains at Van Ryder are stunning. The décor is sleek and modern. The staff had limited English, which made communication a bit tricky at times. The omelet station for breakfast was delicious! Some of the fried food was cold and hard but that was expected for a buffet. The dinner buffet was great though. The atmosphere and the view make it worth a visit.

We had such a great experience! The food was so good, and the view truly made the whole evening even more special. A big highlight was the service. Andres, our server, was fantastic,very attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Cari, the manager, was genuinely warm and welcoming, which really added to the experience and made us feel appreciated as guests.

I stopped at Van Ryder in Salt Lake City, a rooftop bar and restaurant, and the atmosphere really pulled it all together. Sitting up there with the view of the city and the Delta Center across the way made the whole place feel elegant and relaxed at the same time. I ordered the BYO Pork Carnitas, which came with smoked carnitas, grandma’s secret salsa, smashed avocado, and warm corn tortillas with limes. The plate was simple, but that actually made it feel more refined. The carnitas were moist, full of flavor, and really good. The other ingredients were straightforward but done right. Nothing fancy, nothing over the top, just solid and tasty. If I had one note, it is that the staff could have been a little more attentive. That aside, the food, the view, and the atmosphere worked really w
