Vuz: First Look

Posted // 2011-05-23 -

A dazzling new restaurant has opened in Draper that a friend called "Vegas Spectacular!" Indeed, it's not quite like anything I've seen in Utah before. The name of the restaurant is Vuz, pronounced "views," which it has plenty of. While it's not in full swing yet, Vuz will eventually also include an on-premise winery.

I'll be reviewing Vuz restaurant and Vuda Bar in the City Weekly dining column shortly. For now, here are some visual impressions to whet your palate.
