Beautiful restaurant, loved the atmosphere. Cozy booths with romantic lighting. Good cocktails, but a bit pricey for what you get. Presentation of the food was great and overall the food was solid. Lamb lollipops were delicious! Chicken was a bit dry, but overall the dish was very good. Service was also prompt and just the right amount of attention.

Lake Effect in downtown Salt Lake City is known as a cocktail bar with a large drink selection and live music, set in a historic building with a vintage yet modern vibe. While I’m not a drinker, we went based on a friend’s recommendation for the food…and it did not disappoint.

I had the Crispy Shrimp Tacos, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked and full of flavor, the avocado sauce was amazing. My wife ordered the Chicken Chopped Salad and really enjoyed it as well. It was fresh, well-balanced, and satisfying.

Even if cocktails aren’t your thing, Lake Effect is worth visiting for the food, atmosphere and overall experience. A great spot with more to offer than just drinks.

I want to be clear – this review is for the dinner experience and the dinner experience only. I still fear entering this establishment once the moon has reached zenith.
The food is great, I haven’t had anything here I wouldn’t try again. The service was slower around dinner.
If you want to be able to chat, and not yell during dinner, this isn’t the place for you. While the live music is great, it’s borderline too loud for 6pm dinner on a Wednesday. However, decent place for after work drinks.

The food was phenomenal. The service was great. Nice, low key, quiet. You could actually talk with somebody and have a conversation without loud music.
The hamburger I had was great and the wife loved the tacos that she got, especially the ice cream for dessert, was the best tasting ever.

Now just don’t grab underneath the tables. Cause you will get dried gum stuck to your finger.
Hope whoever is seeing this will get the tables cleaned.

This is an absolutely beautiful space, but that’s about where it ends. The service consisted of people begrudgingly pointing you somewhere and handing you a menu. Half ass bartenders wandering around pretending to be waitresses.
Everyone of their custom cocktails is somehow the equivalent of drinking syrup. It’s like they tried to take dirty sodas sweet tooth to the bar.
The salad is delivered in a cumbersome bowl covered with crab that you can’t even access. Delivered this way after we had asked for it to be split. The salmon was pretty good with crispy bok choy.
It definitely feels like this place is just taking advantage of tourists trapped here for a conference. Happy to come by for a standard drink or a beer, but move on for anything else.

A great place for a holiday treat. Food was very good. The holiday drink options were GREAT!!!! Getting the food was a sloooow process as we were told they were shorthanded, took over an hour to get all of our food. The chicken wings and wood fired pizza were worth the wait. Our server was very nice. The atmosphere was really AWESOME.

Had the garbage can nachos. Awesome. Could’t finish it. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals too. Atmosphere is festive and fun. Drinks were excellent. My only complaint was the service. Very inconsistent. Early on the problem was a large group that swamped staff but later on when we hadn’t seen our waiter for 20 minutes, I spied him off on in a corner only his phone for at least five minutes. Still a fun evening.

The food was great. And so was the service. They had clean and stocked restrooms well.

They open for dinner at 5pm.

We really enjoyed the bar and had great service. The food was good and the drinks were great. The atmosphere was good with great vibe. We will return if ever in Salt Lake City.

My plan was to give 5 stars but upon review of my receipt, we had a 3% charge for live music. While we noticed someone setting up, there was no live music while we were there nor was it close to starting. For this we deducted one star. This is clearly a management/owner decision. Charging for services not provided is wrong.
