You would never guess that SLC has good lobster roll, but this place won a World's Best Lobster Roll at a 2017 Maine competition. $$$ but worth it!

This is probably the best spot to take a group. New american style small plates to share. Good cocktails. Nice, enjoyable scene! Parking is a bit of a hassle on Main St - so consider Lyft!

Best sushi in town, but expect a wait. Which isn't bad, because right next door is Post Office Place - an odd name, but tasty cocktails and appetizers while you wait! Or on its own!

The Bayou
645 S State StTasty cajun bar food, usually lots of folks, sometimes music.
Tasty tacos and burritos, lots of salsas to choose from. There are also tons of taco trucks, most of which are great (and cheap!). My favorite is just west of the intersection of 8th south and State St. - there's one on State St. and one on 8th south - I like the one on 8th better. Just like you gotta choose your Cheesesteak alliance in Philly, or your Coney in Detroit, you gotta choose your taco truck in SLC and stick with it! Haha!
