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. |
