 Italian fare in hip downtown |
134 West Pierpont Ave Salt Lake City, UT 84101 United States +1 801 328 1500 |
This is a trendy but casual restaurant in the heart of downtown. Part of the "Gastronomy" restaurants, it shares a standard of excellence with the more upscale eateries in the group. But, this restaurant is more relaxed and friendly, featuring fresh pasta dishes (including a very reasonable "early bird special"). Complete dinner entrees include veal and chicken specials. The entire menu is prepared with a Northern Italian flavor. Beer and wine are available with your meals. The more upscale "Club Baci," located just next door, is a private club for members.

Insiders recommend this gem |
55 West 100 South Salt Lake City, UT 84101 United States +1 801 364 8833 http://www.caffemolise.com |
All of the Italian dishes at this restaurant are simply mouth watering. The chicken dishes, especially the Marsala and the chicken and prosciutto dishes, are particularly recommended. There are nearly a dozen pasta offerings as well, each unusual and delicious. The lasagne is perhaps the most highly recommended. The prices for all the generous dishes on the menu are very reasonable. Alcohol is also available. Wines by the glass are reasonably priced. The cafe often features live jazz performances as well.

 Dragon grill for dinner |
255 East 400 South Salt Lake City, UT 84111 United States +1 801 328 3663 http://www.charliechows.com |
This Chinese restaurant serves up Cantonese and Szechwan food at a reasonable price. The vegetarian diner will also feel welcome here with its many meatless choices. Spring rolls are a favorite, and family dinners are filling. Get the soup of the day, egg roll and rice while you choose from eggplant, bean curd or vegetables all for less than USD10. Specialty combination plates include just as much food for the discounted price of USD5.50. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Distinctive Southwestern cuisine |
368 Main Street Salt Lake City, UT 84060 United States +1 435 649 6222 |
This popular dinner restaurant is known as one of the best in Park City. Guests enjoy a rustic atmosphere punctuated by heavy drapes, ironwork and artistic ceramic tile. Log tables cluster snugly around a massive fireplace that along with some strategically place lanterns, infuses the room with a romantic glow. Leather-covered menus open to reveal a collection of inventive dishes. Favorites include tortilla soup, goat cheese rellenos and stuffed salmon. A full drink menu complements the selection here, but regulars gravitate towards the chimayo margarita. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A bistro with a bookstore |
1513 South 1500 East Salt Lake City, UT 84105-2809 United States +1 801 486 1300 http://www.frescoitaliancafe.com/ |
Next door to the King's English Bookstore (The), is a fresh dining experience. The menu is somewhat small and specialized, but is always excellent. There are delicious and fresh vegetable and pasta dishes and the veal is a specialty. Similarly, the wine list is truly exceptional. Expect to pay anywhere from $20 to $40 for a bottle of wine. Many are available by the glass for about $5.50, as well. Fresco's has a full liquor license, so beer and mixed drinks are also available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Great Greek foods |
404 East 300 South Salt Lake City, UT 84111 United States +1 801 322 2062 |
This is the place to come for authentic Greek flavors. Voted No. 1 by City Weekly, locals know what they are talking about. The gyro is the most popular item on the menu, but feel free to try a shish kebab or salad—nothing here will disappoint you. The price is incredible considering the size of a meal and taste. For just USD5, you can taste what people in Salt Lake are raving about. No liquor is served at this restaurant. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fresh fish flown in daily |
258 South 1300 East Salt Lake City, UT 84102 United States +1 801 583 8808 |
The menus at this popular restaurant are printed daily to reflect the selection of same-day fresh seafood. One taste of the fresh Atlantic Salmon with cucumber dill sauce, and you will be hooked. For the lobster lover, the Maine Lobster Tail with Scampi Butter is a lot of meat for your money, and is served with rice or fried onions. Aside from seafood, several pasta dishes, salads, and even steaks, are available as well as a unique and delicious clam chowder. Beer and wine are also available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cliff divers and talking birds |
9400 South State Street Salt Lake City, UT 84070 United States +1 801 304 4576 http://www.jordancommons.com/f... |
This theme restaurant seats guests in tree houses and entertains with mechanical birds and stunning cliff divers. The long lines here twist around outside and along a dark cavern-like path, representing the entrance into a Mayan temple. However, the center of the action is a waterfall flowing over a man-made cliff from which divers make their daring leaps. Favorite dishes include fajitas, honey-lime chicken and lime-garlic shrimp skewers. The food, while not exceptional, is still quite good and the ambiance is this restaurant's strong suit. Alcohol is available with meals. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Thousands of signatures and statements spread across the walls of this restaurant and there is always room for one more name if you want to document your visit.

Elegant, upscale |

Here you can dine in the setting of a refined lodge, with candlelight and a large hearth setting the place aglow.
