Editorial Review for Red Butte Cafe – by Barbara Schmiett
The Scene
Everything about Red Butte Cafe conveys a warm and welcoming earthiness. The decor of muted Southwestern colors includes seating at cozy tapestry-covered booths or attractive wood tables. There's a patio, but the only view is the Foothill Village parking lot.
The Food
The standard menu includes cold and grilled sandwiches, a popular French onion soup, and enchiladas. The sensational salads, which incorporate grilled red trout, smoked turkey or several variations on the chicken breast are the perfect solution for when you just want a salad for dinner. Specials run for two weeks, so if you find something absolutely irresistible, like the cooked-to-perfection salmon, you have another stab at trying it again before the menu changes. You can always count on finding a salmon entree, special appetizer and vegetarian dish on the biweekly list.

Insider Tips
What About Wine?The wine list is unpretentious and inexpensive ($4-$5.50 a glass) featuring three whites, three reds and one white Zinfandel.
Dessert Anyone?Try the cheesecake or chocolate caramel turtle cake. The well-stocked bakery case at the front of the cafe offers pastries, cookies and tarts. Take one home for your next dinner party.

I've been going to Red Butte Cafe regularly for 10 years now and I think it's a great place to grab some fresh food for a reasonable price. My favorites items on the menu are the sandwiches (hot open-faced herb roasted sirloin) and salads (I can't decide on my favorite- they are all delicious) rather than the entres, so I generally leave there spending $20 to $25 bucks for 2 people, yest I'm rarely able to finish my plate. I also think those items (lighter side vs full entrees) is where their menu y really shines with innovatio and amazing flavors. I HIGHLY recommend the house pasta as your side dish. Sure the fresh fruit or green salad is good, but the pasta noodles are made on site daily, just as fresh as all of their other ingredients they use. I also have to mention their decadent deserts. They have something for everyone, but if you like chocolate you will be especially pleased. In 10 years, my experiences have always been good. Yes service can slow down a bit when the place get's hopping, but nothing unsatisfactory, just normal. I've never been left wanting, regarding the service or the food.
Pros: Ambience, freshness, food quality, desert!
Cons: Ambient noise can be a problem if you are their with elderly and booths aren't available

I expected more than what I got!! Pick somewhere else to dine in the Foothill Villiage. Limited and tastless entres. My food was cold when it was brought out,and the srvice was terribly slow. This is one place that is crowded but I dont know why it would be! Skip this place for sure!!
Pros: Nice interrior thats it!!
Cons: Everything else! Horrible.
