Market Street Grill

We never got a chance to taste the food. After a wait of 45 minutes and others being seated who arrived after us, we left.

Expensive but good, my tuna was great. My boyfriends lobster was amazing! However $40 for a lobster tail is a lot. I've been to restaurants around the same $$$ and liked them better...I guess I just wasn't that impressed. Service was good though...my boyfriend liked it... it's not a place that I would go to again and to me it didn't live up to it's reputation. However, I didn't dislike it..

My husband & his family are big seafood eaters (whereas I am not), so we've gone to Market Street a couple of times since it is has the reputation of being the best seafood in the state. Not so...the non-seafood items are all sub-par; not a bit of deliciousness cooked into them - its like their way of punishing those of us who dislike seafood. And according to the rest of our group, not one of the seafood plates was exceptional. Even people I know who have once been big Market Street fans have started to steer clear because it has apparently gone downhill as far as taste. If you want the seafood, I would recommend buying from their fresh market & cooking it at home.

Pros: fresh seafood...at least as fresh as you get in utah

Cons: food quality has severly declined

I started a review for the Market Street Grill by the UofU and realized that it is called Market Street Broiler. Will post review of MSB.

Pros: Ambience

Cons: Food, prices, service

My friends and I went to this restaurant because it was the only one without a 90 min. wait. Bit mistake. We still ended up waiting more than 90 minutes for our main course. Our drinks were slow, our waiter continually forgot to fill glasses, and brought chowder we didn't order and forgot twice the olive oil and vinigar that we did. The food was all awful. My friend's black bass looked like jerky. My other friend's dishes tasted like they were made with canned spegetti sauce. Normally I like lightly salted food, but the chef forgot to add any salt to my food at all. The waiter at one point left our table unattended for over 1/2 hour. This was overall the worst restaurant experience I have ever had, and except for exceptional company the night would have been ruined. Please spare yourself and dine anywhere else, even if it means waiting 90 minutes for a table. You just might have to wait 90 minutes to eat here anyways.

Pros: The wine list. That was it's only redeeming factor.

Cons: The service, especially the food, everything else.

We went there despite the negative reviews especially the grim reviews about the service. Alll the waiters were attentive and smiley. We had two waiters and both were excellent. The food was out of this world. We were tired of overly salty food, so this restaurant was just perfect. We had Key Lime pie and Almond torte with rasberries. They were the best desert we've ever had!

Sunday brunch is a great all around experience at the downtown Market Street. Being on the list of "our regular spots", I have only been disappointed by the food on a single ocassion. Most times it is totally amazing. I especially like to substitute the au graten potatos for what ever comes with my dish. (Same potatos that I miss from the old Bacci restaraunt!) This place tops my list for fresh fish. The atmosphere is great.

Pros: The food, the atmosphere, and the staff

Cons: Nothing at all

If you want good seafood, Market Street will not disappoint you. If you looking to impress someone, or just want an enjoyable evening with good service, go somewhere else. This place used to be "it". What happened? No more a premier restaurant, a has been.

Pros: Good Seafood

Cons: Bad Service

I eat here when I visit Salt Lake every year. The food is always excellent, no matter which item I choose. The service, however, ranges from excellent to so-so. Last time the service was so bad I complained to Gastronomy corporate management (luckily I could remember her name). The good part was that management was responsive to my complaint. I'll still go back there, but not if I'm in a rush.

Pros: Close to hotels, Excellent food

Cons: Service spotty

This is "NOT" the place! We were more than happy to recommend this place to friends, family and especially out of town guests. However it's all gone to the dogs. Service has progressively declined over the past 2 years. Food & price is fair, however the servers are forgetful & il-mannered. The hostesses at the front desk are incredibly rude dispite making reservations. Nothings changed even after a few calls to the corporate office. Please get rid of the bimbos that try to play hostess. They spend most of their time talking on their cell phones & painting their nails. Hire some efficient workers who really want to be there & provide the excellent customer service Market Street built its reputation on.

Pros: location, good price

Cons: poor service, bad mannered, bimbo's
