(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) A sticker on the door at Vessel Kitchen at 905 E. 900 South indicates a patio friendly to dogs during a busy Friday evening on May 28, 2021. For 2022, 38 Salt Lake County restaurants — including Vessel Kitchen — have received approval to allow dogs on the patio while their owners dine outside.
