Where is the Best Martini in Salt Lake City, Utah?
It is a private club (Utah oddity), so you have to buy a membership to get in. Not much though. Entrées are priced quite high, but the appetizers and seafood platters are fairly reasonable. The shrimp platter is excellent with many big, juicy, top-quality shrimp. They also have a very good selection of fresh oysters and fish as well. This is pretty much the only place to get consistently good oysters in Salt Lake. They make their soups to order, and while they are nothing stellar, they are pretty good. Their “New Yorker Kick Ass Chili” is worth a try.It is very busy, and quite noisy most evenings. You will have a very hard time getting a table on the weekend. Also the table and booth layout is pretty stupid, and you end up having about 1/3 the table space you really need. Being a private club you can smoke. Great if you’re a smoker I guess, but if you are a non-smoker, prepare yourself for copious amounts of smoke.
My guest and I both ordered the filet mignon and we weren’t disappointed. We were seated promptly and our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. Other reviews complained about how their meat was cooked. If you pay attention to the guide that is in the menu, you get your meat cooked the way you like it. If you order based on the “typical” scale, your meat will probably be cooked less than you like (i.e. medium rare in most restaurants leaves a little pink….medium rare at Fleming’s leaves some red). The taste of the food was excellent. The restaurant is pricey though. Sides are not included with the meat, so it is easy to ring up a tab that is over $100. That does not include the wine.Pros + Great taste, great serviceCons – Pricey, noisy if you are going for the romantic ambience
it is a nice place to go to and have a drink during the week or on weekends. if you come before 10pm and its not too crouded you can enjoy a mellow evening, but even when it gets loud and crouded it is still a great place to grab a beer and get togther with your buddies.Pros + good service food and beerCons – none
