The Utah corn bisque is delectable and the filet mignon with roasted shallot-cabernet sauce melts in your mouth.
Metropolitan (Salt Lake City; tel. 801/364-3472; www.themetropolitan.com): From the mountain views, to the delectable food created by a team of four chefs, it's no wonder the Metropolitan is so popular.
