Best Restaurant Ever

by MikeFlatley at Citysearch

This is review for Cottonwood branch. This is my first visit to SLC, and I absolutely love Market Street Grill. The food, service, and ambiance is just impeccable and is even better than the restaurants in NYC. Our server is extremely professional and courteous. I was extremely impressed with the service and food. Will definitely come back and recommend to all my friends.

• Pros: Food, Service, Value
• Cons: None

Great chowder and dessert

by grodithumbelina at Citysearch

The dessert, bread and clam chowder were great. The quality of the seafood varied. For that much money I expect great food. The tables were too close together. I felt like I was sitting on the man's lap who was sitting at the table next to me. Every time the waitress served the man next to us, her butt was in my face. I won't go back.

could be better

by yorugua at Citysearch

The steaks are overpriced $34 for a "usda choice" new york steak!come on for that price you should get Prime.

The rib eye was a bit though and the sauces are watery.

The desserts and bread were really good.

How do you get a table here?

by GrandmaSandra at Citysearch

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.

It was good

by BeeniechiK at Citysearch

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..

Not was it's cracked up to be

by misspufa at Citysearch

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

Worst Service Ever!!!

by dandeliongrrrl at Citysearch

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.

Great service, great food Sept. 2006

by yaho at Citysearch

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!

An eclectic bunch of people come to Sunday Brunch

by why_eat_at_home at Citysearch

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
