“ I have been there 2x for lunch the food is incredible the pork chops (amazing) We have also had our company Christmas party there the last 2 years. This is a great place for private parties and the staff is a fantastic support. Excellent salads and very good food. ”
“ Superb food, service and atmosphere. Just wonderful. Fantastic. Highly recommend. Also very good non-alcoholic Utah Mule. Love those options. ”
“ We came to Fiction through a recommendation.. and Fiction did not disappoint! The atmosphere was great, not too dark. Our waitress was amazing. Very knowledgeable and super helpful and attentive. The food was to die for! The best pork chop I’ve ever had! This might be our new date night joint! ”
“ Dramatic improvement since Bookwalter built the new tasting room and moved that function across the street. The restaurant is now 100% focused on delivering a fantastic product with impeccable service! Full service bar with high-end tequilas, Scotch and Bourbon, and excellent, elegant menu items at good prices. Bravo, Manager Jeff! Your positive impact is obvious and appreciated! ”
“ Jessie, our waiter, was fantastic - attentive, thoughtful, and even coordinated with my husband to make the occasion extra special! (I hope I am remembering his name correctly!! ) The food and atmosphere were an easy 20/10. From the apps to the dessert. I had the au poivre sauce with my sirloin, and now I’m ruined! in the best way. Because I don’t think I can ever enjoy steak and mashed potatoes without it again! ”
“ Had a large group for a birthday dinner tonight that had been rescheduled on very short notice. Staff were very accommodating and went above and beyond to provide great service. The back patio area here is a great space for 25-30 people . Looking forward to coming back here again. ”
“ Parking is... interesting. Wish they’d at least pave on the outside road to make it easier for everyone. Food was excellent - had their bourbon chicken & spouse had the wagyu steak. Both super delicious. Took carrot cake home but they deconstructed it which was a bit of a let down. However, service was great - will definitely make this a go-to for romantic dates. ”
“ The duck was nothing short of delectable, perfectly cooked with a rich, savory depth that lingered on the palate. The Brussels sprouts, however, stole the show, emerging as one of the finest side dishes I’ve had in recent memory—crispy, yet tender, with a balance of flavors that was simply exquisite. The honey bourbon chicken, while flavorful, felt a bit understated in comparison, offering a pleasant sweetness but lacking the bold impact I had hoped for. As for the avocado fries, they were a delightful surprise—crispy on the outside, with a creamy, indulgent center that paired wonderfully with their dipping sauce. ”
