Thyme & Seasons Restaurant

The location is strange. The tarps over the windows and the building still looking like a 7-11 throws me off. For people who have never been here you need to know that the prices are not listed for a reason. It is all market price of the day. If you get the steak or prime rib you are paying about $40-$50 a plate. Chicken and bass not sure. For 4 people (one prime rib, two steaks, and one ribs) our bill was about $150. Your meal does come with a drink, a salad, and side. However I am not a beets or yam fan, but the mashed potatoes were great. The owner was friendly, the jokes were a bit much, but I’m cool. Not sure how to put this without being rude, but it’s part of the business story and the owner and how he helps the community, several of the souse chefs working are from a program to help people with disabilities. They are great cooks and did a fantastic job. Aside from price and the inside/outside looking a bit odd, the food was great and so was the service. The fun part is they offer cooking classes that I wouldn’t mind trying out some time. When you first get there you will see the board, you will need to pick your protein, if you have ANY ALLERGIES, you need to tell the person assisting you. If you are there for only one specific item such as pho, you need to state as such or you get the full treatment. I do not believe alcohol is sold here. Will be back.

Thyme and Seasons in Bountiful, UT is truly unlike any restaurant experience I’ve ever had. There’s no menu. What? There is no menu. You pick your seat, grab your own drinks, and then the magic begins. The owner, Hai Fitzgerald, personally comes over and talks with you about what kind of meat you’re in the mood for and from there, he cooks up a surprise for you. I chose Prime Rib and Hai cooked it perfectly and cooked up an incredible pasta dish that was full of flavor. My wife wanted chicken, and Hai surprised her with an amazing Pad Thai that she absolutely loved. Both meals were fresh, creative, and packed with flavor. Lots of flavor. Hai found out it was our wedding anniversary and made some homemade blueberry, raspberry chocolates, which were amazing. The entire experience is incredible and completely outside the box...in the best way possible. You can tell this is a passion-driven restaurant focused on great food and a one-of-a-kind dining experience. If you’re looking for something different with outstanding, creative, fresh food, this is a must-try. Highly recommend!

Food was overly sweet and under-salted. I have never tasted any pasta and steak that were sugary like that. He told me I found my job as an engineer because I am a girl that looks pretty, plus I am Asian and people know Asian are good at numbers…. Comments felt both sexist and racist… he commanded me to get soda when I entered and I asked him how much was the soda, instead of answering my question directly, he said: if you are price sensitive then this is the wrong place for you. He seems very egotistical… a little bit narcissistic and intrusive… fishing for compliments the whole time. uncomfortable dinning experience, bad food.

Unexpected, strange dining experience. I am new to the area and honestly thought this was a former florist or convenience store now covered in tarps and permanently closed. I was very wrong. …

My experience at Thyme and Seasons was confusing, uncomfortable, and ultimately disappointing. There was no menu and no clear pricing. When I asked about options, the owner simply asked whether I wanted “meat or seafood.” I was trying to understand whether there were choices such as chicken, steak, or vegetarian dishes, but I never received a clear explanation of what was available or what anything would cost. The interaction with the owner also left a bad impression. When I seemed confused about the process, he told my husband to “take her home,” which felt dismissive and disrespectful. My husband tried to explain that I wasn’t from the area and had never experienced a restaurant like this before. The owner’s response was to ask where I was from and then tell us he was from New York, which came across as condescending rather than helpful. The atmosphere was not what I expected, especially given the prices. The restaurant felt cluttered, worn, and unclean to me, and it did not inspire confidence in the overall dining experience. Combined with the lack of transparency about the menu and pricing, it left me feeling uncomfortable throughout the meal. I understand some people may enjoy the chef-decides-everything concept, but I prefer knowing what I’m ordering and what I’m paying before I commit. Unfortunately, I left feeling unwelcome, confused, and disappointed. For anyone considering dining here, I would recommend looking elsewhere. In my opinion, there are many restaurants that offer better value, more transparency, and a more welcoming experience. I genuinely believe there are better places to spend your money, with better prices and food quality that better matches what you’re paying for.
