Before opening a location in Salt Lake City, Blue Lemon caught my eye on Twitter, tempting a visit to their Highland location with food descriptions in 140 characters or less. I was thrilled to see them opening a second location on the south side of Temple Square. The casual eatery had a wonderful menu in a clean, upscale setting.

We placed our order and waited for our entrées as we dipped grilled pita pieces into hummus ($4) and artichoke-spinach cheese dip ($4). The simple flavors were exquisite, I commented that only these appetizers would make a good meal. My plate of Black Bean Ravioli ($9.5) arrived beautifully arranged. This Italian/Southwestern dish had a wonderful flavor tangy flavor from roasted red pepper cream sauce and side of salsa with fresh cilantro. The others enjoyed their Blue Lemon Turkey Burger ($8), Artichoke and Tomato Panini ($8) and Pear and Gorgonzola Spinach Salad ($8.50). Where the flavor was lacking, the presentation more than made up for it.

This chic dining experience is a great option for a quick bite and break in the day.
