One of the better places to eat in Salt Lake City. The salmon was nicely cooked. Salad was delicious. It doesn’t look pretty but it was good given the town where fast food rules. The service was excellent. Our waitress really paid attention. Refiled waters many times. Overall a nice dining experience.

After several places with an hour or more wait, we found McGrath’s with a much more manageable wait time. Our food was great and not overpriced. The desserts were especially yummy. We tried the chocolate ganache cake and Marion berry cobbler as well as the key lime pie. The only complaint was that the key lime pie was not tart at all.

So I eat here tonight and boy do I wish I would have read the reviews first. I ordered the crab and steak combo. The crab was extremely over cooked & there was no meat left. My steak was ordered medium rare and it came out charred on the outside and inedible. I asked for a manager and I there wasn’t one on duty. My waitress told me that she left and she was able to take care of part of my meal. I got home just in time to sit on the toilet for 45 minutes. Something is really awful about this place that’s making everybody so sick. I do not recommend this place ever and I’ll be calling the management tomorrow to speak to them. Maybe even call the health department.

I don’t go out to eat very often. When I do go out to eat seems like there’s a high probability that I’ll find a restaurant that somehow messes up experience, either customer service, and food quality don’t seem to go hand-in-hand. This particular McGrath’s restaurant is the exception. I have now been three times, and each time it has been exceptionally great dining experience, From the food to the servers being courteous and professional. Whatever they’re doing down there now they should keep doing it. I know from experience it’s hard to keep good employees working at a restaurant so if they have a manager that is making this happen give the guy/gal a raise,

The food was pretty good. But service is slow. We went in around 5pm on a Monday night and waited about 10 mins before we even saw a hostess there. Once we were sat though things went more smoothly. I was impressed with the alder plank salmon I ordered. I opted for the Northwest Rub which was excellent. When we left I noticed about 4 more parties waiting to be seated. Yet there were probably 25 open tables. So maybe they were understaffed a bit.

We went today for my mother’s birthday. It was horrible. The food was extremely slow. We ordered the endless shrimp platter. The first parmesan shrimp I bit into was COLD in the middle. I then pulled the batter off of another shrimp and discovered that they were not cooked all the way. My mother had the same problem. Plus, the pasta that came with the meal was cold too! I will never eat at this place again!

Food was alright. My wife enjoyed the wood fired salmon and the service was okay. I got a steak and daughter had chicken tenders (we aren’t seafood fans). They weren’t anything to write home about but review isn’t based on those, this IS a seafood joint.

I needed a seafood fix other than sushi. It was new years day, so Market Street was closed. McGrath’s, Red Lobster and Joe’s were our options. We ventured over to McGrath’s because it’s “nicer.” Who knows. The restaurant is fine. It has your typical chain seafood restaurant decorations, fishing nets hanging from the ceiling, old small fishing boats nailed to the wall, prostitutes looking for sailors…you get the idea. We got the crab stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer. I enjoyed these. However, my entre of the pan fried oysters were not as good. My fault, I ordered the wrong thing I guess. It was like a plate of bread crumb pretty much. Everyone else seemed content with their entrees. Service was fine. I’m sure the waitress didn’t enjoy working new years day, but she put the best face on that she could. One complaint is that they have signage on their tables that say add a shot of whiskey for one dollar to any cocktail. The waitress said that signage comes from corporate, but they can’t honor that deal in Utah because cocktails can only have one shot. So we asked if someone else at the table could have the dollar shot instead and she laughed uncomfortably and walked away. I understand laws in Utah differ from other states, but in that case corporate should provide different table signage, or the local managers shouldn’t put them on the tables. That’s false advertising and I’m certain that if someone wanted to be a stickler they can complain and get a fine levied. I won’t do that though. Instead I’ll just post here. A pretty mediocre experience otherwise. I’ll order more intelligently next time.

Great good! Great Service! They know gluten free and did not put croutons on the salad without me thinking to ask. Bay city Salmon and steak were delicious! The steak was better than a steakhouse, it was cooked to perfection.

I went there with friends for someone’s birthday on a Monday night. It was pretty dead. Reading the reviews was pretty scary, so I avoided ordering seafood and got a Teriyaki burger. It was actually quite good except they forgot to put the slice of pineapple in the burger. The waitress did not realize it either, probably don’t have a habit of checking her dishes before bringing it out. I didn’t say anything because I don’t want her to bring me a slice of pineapple by itself.
