Market Street Grill Downtown

As a person born and raised in the south and right on the coast, I was extremely surprised to come across good seafood in Salt Lake City.
Although this was not my first time in Utah, this was my first visit to this particular city. My date and I ordered raw oysters as an appetizer.
I am a huge oyster lover so I was excited about this.
If I can remember correctly, I believe the waiter told us that the oysters were from California and Virginia.
Both were delicious, but I personally preferred the ones from Virginia.
For my entree, I had a meal that was not on the menu and was only offered for a limited time.
It was grilled scallops and shrimp in a lemon butter sauce, which came with a side of grilled asparagus and seasoned rice.
It also came with my choice of salad.
I chose the Caesar.
To my surprise, everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned well.
My date had the Hawaiian Ahi Tuna, which came with grilled pineapple, seasoned rice, and mixed veggies.
He also chose a bowl of clam chowder.
He said my food tasted better than his.
He wasn't really a huge fan of what he ordered, and he wished that he would have ordered what I got instead.
This is why I didn't give this experience 5 stars. Our server was nice and helpful, but toward the end, I'm not sure if he went on break or what, but he stopped coming to check on us.
After waiting some time, my date walked up to the counter just to have someone else come to our table to assist us.
We saw our original waiter again before we left, so he was definitely still there.
Not sure what that was about. Unfortunately, I can't provide any details regarding the costs, as my date handled the bill. As we exited, I realized that the restaurant has two sides.
The other side is an oyster market.
The next time I'm in Salt Lake, I will definitely check that out as well.
Overall, this was a good experience, and I will return.
