My wife and I need to get out and feel somewhat normal for a short period of time. Have any of you been to a restaurant or restaurant/bar lately in the SLC or Park City area where you’ve felt reasonably safe and comfortable given the Covid situation? This is an emergency.
Try Slackwater in Sandy. Feels safe and the food/beer is top notch. Agree with Rocker, most places are pretty safe minus Texas Road House. That place is always packed, went there last night.

Yeah, the COVID situation at Texas Road House is bad too. 
There’s one right around the corner from me. It’s ALWAYS packed. Boggles my mind.

a couple things I would strongly consider. Go super early or very late as to avoid as many others as you can. Try and pick a place that isn’t small and cramped, someplace with good ventilation. Dont be shy about where you want to sit. If they sit someone too close to you, tell them you’re not comfortable with that. Double mask and only take it off when you eat. Don’t spend excessive time there.
Thanks for the tips. I guess we’ll go check a few places out and be flexible. The Dodo is one of our old favorites but haven’t been there in a while. A side note - sorry to see the Paris Bistro on 15th has closed.
We go to Hires on 7th East. LOL! It’s kinda, sorta like eating out. Door Dash is our chosen restaurant these days.
We did eat at the Little America hotel restaurant in October because we had to meet someone there. It’s not our favorite by any means but we felt safe that one time we were there, and I’d call the menu pretty decent comfort food.
As for why eat at the Dodo, I have a 3-word response: Toll House Pie.

Butterfinger cheesecake pie for starters.
Just have it ready for pickup. Binge watching the Expanse…priorities. 
Ah yes. That’s where we had our wedding breakfast/lunch/whatever 33 years ago. I feel like it was called something else back then.
I’ve only had the Toll House Pie once. If you’re in the mood for a crazy, excessive indulgence, it’s great. If you want to weigh 300 lbs. it’s also a good tool for helping you toward that goal.
If you’re only eating out once while here, I’d hit Chuck-A-Rama in Draper. You may laugh at this suggestion but you’re wrong.
It’s not even the same ownership.
The dodo is now owned by the group that owns Porcupine, Rio Grande Cafe and Bohemian.
I think the food at the Porcupine is pretty unimpressive. The Dodo is much better. I’m surprised the two have the same ownership.
Bratten’s Seafood Grotto?
Food snob.

Cafe Molise had things spaced out very well. Kind of upscale Italian. I have never been disappointed with my meal there.
Stanza is very nice. On the expensive side. I have not been there since before the pandemic, but I was always happy with the food, the atmosphere and the service. The restaurant layout is conducive to good spacing, so I imagine they have done a good job of that too.
That place is fantastic. Did curbside pick up last weekend. Their chicken tikka masala pizza is phenomenal. Their beer selection is also top notch.
