- KKristinVIPUtah •2 reviews5.0Dined todayWe love Ruth Chris. It has become our birthday celebration restaurant. We were celebrating my husband's birthday last night. They always comp a birthday dessert, and the banana cream pie is Amazing, but all the food is Amazing. The tuna appetizer is our favorite. Filet is always cooked perfectly and do not forget the cremini mushrooms....sooo good. Our daughter loves the mashed potatoes and my husband loves the lobster bisque. It is ALL delicious. And we LOVE Fraser. He is the best server. We ask to sit in his section every time we go there. So friendly, great recommendations, and always takes care of us...attentive to anything we might need. He makes the dining experience outstanding.More infoRuth's Chris Steak House - Salt Lake CityPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Salt Lake City•4.9

- JJenniferHawaii •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoWe went for our anniversary. The food was amazing, all the staff were attentive and friendly. My husband had the Elk steak and said it was better than he could ever imagined. I had the duck, so much flavor, tender and the potato puree was delicious! They have a great wine and drink menu. We also had the lava cake and an affogato with the Parmesan ice cream. We will absolutely eat there again when coming to town.More infoBambaraPrice: Very Expensive• Modern European• Downtown•4.3
- CChristinaVIPUtah •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoWe have eaten at Matteo Ristorante Italiano several times at their former location. We have never been disappointed with the experience. The service is excellent, food delicious- from the moment you walk in you feel welcomed. The new location is wonderful, not as intimate, but the noise level was much more conducive to conversation. We will most certainly keep it at the top of our list for dining out in Salt Lake City.More infoMatteo Ristorante ItalianoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Salt Lake City•4.7

Discover Downtown
Cradled by the Wasatch Mountains to the east and north, Salt Lake City offers a vibrant nightlife and ample opportunities to ski, hike, bike, explore canyons and enjoy annual festivals. Eat heartily to keep up your energy for all these activities by making your way downtown to sample American classics, bar-and-grill favorites, vegetarian dishes and culinary offerings from all corners of the globe. Treat yourself to high-end Japanese or Mexican cuisine or grab a few scoops of Aggie blue mint ice cream after seeing a show. Misconceptions abound about Utah's liquor laws; in reality, it's easy to enjoy a drink in Salt Lake City as more microbreweries and independent bars are opening all the time.
