However, many years later, the building was sold and demolished. So, Ruth bought a Salt Lake Trolley car and moved the restaurant to Emigration Canyon.
Today, this restaurant is the perfect place for both a good meal and a good time. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served at this restaurant and the bar opens each day at 10 a.m.
