Even Utah residents have a hard time saying the name of this new Salt Lake City restaurant. That’s why the drink menu helpfully spells Oquirrh (can you spell it without looking?) phonetically as “Oak-er.”

The restaurant opened in February and is named for the mountains on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley, the ever-present but maybe still-unfamiliar range.

And that’s a good way to describe the food at Oquirrh: familiar dishes but with a twist.
