We made reservations well in advance for dinner here. It's a beautiful big open restaurant; we sat at a booth in front of the open kitchen. There were outdoor tables but it was very hot. The restaurant was a Ford service station from 1906 prior to becoming Current Fish and Oyster. Unisex bathrooms were around the corner from the bar. Bonny was our waitress . We started with a planet Oregon rosé from the Williamannette Valley, Oregon. Mike enjoyed Pinot Grigio from Marlborough, New Zealand to start. Since we are in Utah, we can't taste the wine, as they can not give us free wine, so we could pay $1 to taste, and it cannot be combined with our drink. We began by sharing the grilled calamari with jalapeño, grilled fingerlings, lemon and red onion. Our calamari came out very very quickly as did our wine. Our wines were delicious and the calamari sauce was very interesting. It had a nice kick. I ordered the scallop dinner and my husband Seabass. We wanted bread to soak up the sauce, but it was a heavy & detracted from the sauce, we were charged $6. My scallops with carrots, mushrooms, snow peas were in a flavorful sauce over a rice cake; it was delicious. My husband enjoyed his sea bass with beans over a corn avocado tortilla. The restaurant was very quiet there were free tables. Yet a bus boy tried to take our plates while we were eating from them. We shared the flourless, chocolate tart with Chantilly cream & cherries. Dinner was very very quick, with our three courses we were in and out less than an hour. I would have preferred a more leisurely, relaxing dinner. read more

Looking through social media, review sites and local magazines, Current Fish and Oyster appeared to hit the spot for tonight. We made reservations and showed up at 7 pm on a Saturday night to a nearly empty restaurant. The outside patio was shaded and the beautiful evening conveyed a relaxing ambience. The waiter gave us the menu and we elected to share 3 appetizers and a large salad for a light but flavorful dinner. The grilled three small oysters had charred scallions butter and focaccia bread crumbs. They were delicious but not much value for the price. The grilled Spanish octopus with pineapple ponzu, peanut salsa machu and shishito peppers was next. This, according to the waiter was one of their signature dishes. A total miss with a tough and chewy octopus and literally no flavor. The crab cakes with shrimp mousseline, pine nuts, lemon aioli and asparagus salad was an epic fail. The crab cake was dense, packed with filler and again lacked flavor. Our final selection was the shrimp and crab salad with mixed greens, fennel, citrus, cucumber and carrot tahani dressing. It was fair but definitely not wanting to order it again. Our waiter was trying to remove our plates before we were done. We felt rushed and pushed to move on. The food combinations sounded good, but did not come close to hitting the mark. The empty restaurant should of been a clue. Out of all the meals in SLC this weekend, Current Fish and Oyster was a total disaster. I hate to leave this type of review, but it was well deserved. To the service staff, read the room and to the kitchen, taste the food you are serving. read more

We found an early Saturday 5:30 reservation available which is ideal on crazy busy weekends when everyone is booked. This is central SLC location a great choice for seafood lovers. They have an excellent bar with good selection of cocktails. The four of us had appetizers including clam chowder, clam dip, focaccia bread and fingerling potatoes. For entrees we had sea bass, scallops, cod fish and chips and the fresh King salmon. For desert we tried their olive oil cake which was generous and delicious. The ambience at Current is casual yet classy with modern decor. Definitely one of our go-to favorites in downtown Salt Lake. You should expect to pay about $50 per person which in today's food terms seems fair given the quality of the offerings and the convenience of their location. Check out the photos. Forgot to mention that service is always attentive and friendly when we come here. read more

This is my go-to take-myself-out-on-a-date restaurant. Fancy, but reasonably priced! It's nice to get some fresh seafood out in Utah. The oysters can be small for their price, but in a landlocked state, it's hard to judge. read more

We went here last night and it was a disappointing experience. The food we had was good. We had burrata that was yummy but they only give you three toasts, we had crab cakes that was really one crab cake wish our server had mention this, oysters that were great, caviar service that was confusing to order and ended up watery from the ice . Our waitress seemed irritated from the beginning and neglected to mention when we're sat that they were out of clams, lobster and crab so we couldn't get the seafood tower or the clam chowder. One of our group needed soup because she had to eat soft food and there was no alternative. It was overall a disappointment read more

Trying out a seafood place could be challenging, but this place did break the challenge. I have to say the two plates we got to try were delicious; the food was so fresh. I was very pleased with the taste and the texture of the food. Very well, combinations. I also got the lemon oil cake, but I got it to go, and it was not as great as I expected, but I guess I'll try to eat it in the restaurant to see if there's a difference in the presentation. read more

Service was impeccable. The staff looks happy despite being super busy on a Saturday night. Everything we had was delicious, the oysters were small as heck but the mahi mahi was very good. Our waiter was very attentive. The vibe was energetic and fun! And our table reservation was waiting for us. My husband loved his affogato. We weren't asked if we were celebrating anything special, despite mentioning it was his birthday in the reservation. Overall, we would return. The burrata was great, and the mahi mahi was generous. read more

Salmon was cooked to perfection! Salmon was soft and moist on the inside, with a nice, seared crisp outside. Cucumber, greens with tzatziki was so refreshing. The beans were NOT fully cooked, they were inedible. Beans weren't tender or soft. Service was good. read more

As a vegetarian, I always feel like an imposter writing a review for any meat-focused restaurants. Although I can't speak to their seafood, which is what they're known for, I can speak to their vegetarian options and service. The service and environment here is amazing. Our server was so attentive and kind and helpful, checking on us the perfect amount of times, and refilling/replacing our drinks whenever they got low. I got the burrata appetizer and it was amazing - it came on a bed of greens and some sort of hummus I believe? Freshly toasted baguette was on the side. It was amazing. They actually had a couple of vegetarian options to choose from and I got one of their salads - the harvest salad service with root veggies and walnuts. It was really yummy. We got one of their cakes for dessert and it was so decadent and rich. Yummy! Will definitely come back. read more

I was in town for work and my co-workers and I made reservations here at 6pm. It wasn't super busy when we arrived but definitely filled up as we were leaving. The ambiance is chic, the decor is modern, simple, and classy. We ordered some cocktails and wine and they were all great! The food was also delicious! I ordered the seafood Cobb salad and it was actually so freaking good. My Cobb salad came with a scallop that was cooked to perfection so I didn't have to drool over the other dishes on the table, lol. My co-workers had steak and scallop entrees. They looked incredible. Also, I need a moment to talk about the bread and butter. It was fantastic. So crusty and flavorful. Like, wowwweeeee. How do they infuse so much flavor into it?! Y'all need to try it. Service was lovely, and I would love to come back! Give this place a try! read more

GO TO HARBOR INSTEAD! Infinitely better staff, menu, AND DRINKS!!! -Suffers from the same poor management as under current. -Not a single bartender between the two establishments than is worth their salt. Never have I seen such lazy presentation, poor attitude from bartenders and general incompetence of the staff. -The servers over here are at least friendly and knowledgeable but this place must be hemorrhaging money with their incompetent bar staff. It seems all they know how to do is open a bottle of wine. Perhaps they should consider becoming a wine bar. -If you're going to drop over 100$ on a meal go somewhere where you'll get a decent drink. read more

The place is so cool looking inside. Loved the vibe. The ceviches was amazing and chips were so crunchy and definitely homemade. The oysters were good but tiny and not really worth it. I had the branzino which I thought was a full fish but wasn't. Still very tasty. The fish and chips was flaky and not oily and so good. The gin cocktail special of the day was great as well read more

after years of wondering what this place was like we finally tried it and it was pretty good! The ambience was wonderful and cozy with dark hues that made it more intimate. I will say, whenever a restaurant serves dishes that are $30-40 i would expect bread to be included but sadly it was extra. The oyster appetizer was pretty good, although i wish the oyster was reflective of the shell size. I did enjoy the focaccia bread, it was chewy and delicious. They do have unique menus for special occasions that say your occasion you are celebrating at the top which is a sweet detail. We got the fish stew (no longer served with mussels which i was excited for) and the shrimp & grits. The shrimp are HUGE. overall it was pretty filling and flavorful. The side of fries is also pretty large. i really enjoyed my experience and i think its a nice spot to return to for a special gathering or celebration. read more

Great seafood. Got the sea bass, the Mahi Mahi, the crab cakes, clam chowder, and the Spanish octopus. All were very very good (least impressive of the four may have been the crab cakes). FYI I came with my date at 7:15 on a Monday, there was a thirty minute wait (despite 1/3 of the restaurant being empty, but whatever), we ordered our food the moment the waiter came, the food took forever to come, and we finished eating at 9:05 (and I eat fast). By the end of the dinner, it was just my table and someone else's. I guess they're very very understaffed? I would come back since the food was great, but may be make reservations and expect to spend 1.5h after I order before I get my check. read more

Always enjoyed Current when in Henry's I think Current is missing the boat only being open at 5pm and not being open Tuesday or Wednesday. It seems the owner is not trying to make a success out of restaurant. read more

What's all the hype? Not the night with a party of six. Food, just average. Besides one of our party waiting 13 minutes for fish and chips AFTER everyone else's food arrived yes, including fish and chips. Even the chips were average. Nothing exciting to see here. 3 big slices of bread, looked fantastic, but tasted like the great salt lake. Bad texture. Food just average.

BEST. CAESAR . EVER. I am a complete snob en it comes to Caesar Salads and they nail it. I love the fresh anchovies ( if you hate anchovies because you've only had the jarred, or canned, please try them fresh) . This salad I could eat on its own but also have to give props to the crab cakes and Halibut. The absolute best Octopus and Scallops you will find in SLC and I have tried several places. Service here is always on spot with friendly and attentive staff. I've never been disappointed at this restaurant. The eclectic decor with high ceilings, exposed ducts, large windows with its industrial feel is perfect. I wish I could give Current more than five stars. read more

Celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary, we booked a table and went in letting them know ahead of time it was our anniversary. We showed up and were hustled through dinner and our server literally took away a full plate of our side dish without asking if we wanted a to-go box. Our server was ice cold, awkward, didn't introduce herself and didn't care about us whatsoever. So disappointed because family recommended this place because they had been celebrated at Current for their anniversary and I thought we could enjoy the same experience they had. read more

Stopped by for dinner tonight and was really impressed by the flavors on display. Sitting at the bar, we tried the burrata, the fish & chips, and the shrimp & grits along with a couple cocktails (a hot toddy with the lunazul blanco and the Golden Hour). Service was great, prices were reasonable, and I liked the look of the space. Also, a BIG shout-out for the NA cocktail offerings and the prices. I am stunned by how often I've looked at this part of the drink menu and seen prices that align too closely with their boozy counterparts. Here at Current, these prices feel much more reasonable. Kudos! read more

Good food. If I order the shrimp and grits again, I will ask to leave off the arugula. The arugula overpowered the flavor of the dish.

Enjoyed our lunch at Current Fish & Oyster--it was our first meal upon arrival in Salt Lake City. We walked from our downtown hotel in the 102*F sunshine, passing very few pedestrians, and arrived slightly before the office lunch--our server was very pleasant and assured us the restaurant would fill as it got later. (It did--mostly men in business/business casual wear.) The space itself (two levels) is airy and open (kitchen is open) and I'd classify the food as elevated pub. The Fried Fish Sandwich was the best thing we ordered--crispy and well seasoned. The Clam Chowder was hot, but the thickness of the cream base made it feel like it could have been from a can. The fries were well seasoned, if not perfectly crispy, and we appreciated the three accompanying dips, including one with Korean gojuchang. read more

I was amazed by this place. Food, service, ambiance, all 10/10. Oysters were excellent, brought in fresh (daily i think?). We loved the crab cakes, these are easy to fluff and fill with other things but there was a good amount of crab and the flavor was perfect. Spanish octopus was another shared plate we loved. Duck breast was perfectly cooked and came with brussel sprouts and a sweet potato cake. Market fish was good but nothing super special about it, the shrimp & grits was also delicious. Of the desserts, my favorite was this pudding-esque dish that tasted like christmas with notes of eggnog, cinnamon, & nutmeg. Loved it! The service was incredible. I can't remember our waiters name but he was ON TOP OF IT. At one point I got a little bit of sauce on my sleeve and from across the room he noticed and brought me a cup of soda water because he noticed me dabbing my napkin into my water. A small gesture but I was amazed he was paying that much attention. read more

I've put off coming to Current for a long time. I think it's been on my need to try list for 6 years. Some negative reviews kept me away as well as my skepticism that comes from being a seafood snob from the coast of CA. Finally tried Current this week and my specific meal deserves 5 stars in yelp. The house made bread and clam chowder were both fantastic as my starter. For my entree I had the shrimp & grits. I've eaten shrimp & grits all over the country and this one was one of the best I've ever had. It's unique and extremely flavorful. The shrimp were large and cooked perfectly. Honestly I'll probably never try anything else here because it's that good. Please don't ever change this dish! My wife had the fish & chips. They weren't the best we'd ever had but they were good. The breading on the fish is lighter and it seemed like we were given little tartar sauce for the amount of fish. However the fish broke apart easily so it was cooked well and tasted good. The fries and sauce to dip them in were great. I tried the Flora's Fave drink and it was excellent, although the price seemed high for it being a small, nonalcoholic drink. read more

Phenomenal service and top-notched quality food! We began our evening with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling and some raw oysters. The oysters were fresh and sweet.

We finished the evening with some cheesecake and a complimentary birthday treat (passion fruit basil sorbet with a shortbread cookie). read more

We enjoyed a nice evening and meal at Current. We started out next-door at their bar, called Under Current. We then transferred over to the main restaurant Current Fish Oyster. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with making recommendations on wine selection and main courses. We started out with some appetizers which were all good. I chose to have the halibut, and it was prepared perfectly. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. It was a beautiful even and we sat outside. It was a pleasant dining experience. read more

Delicious and fresh seafood. We came in here for my mom's birthday and it was absolutely incredible. The hamachi starter was delicate and fresh. The scallops were cooked perfectly. The sea bass was flavored so well. And save room for the desserts. We got 4 (there were 3 of us) and it was marvelous. The passion fruit and yuzu were my favorite. The guava cheesecake didn't taste like guava. Our service was a bit on the slow side with a few hiccups but otherwise delicious meal. read more

If any restaurant in SLC should be in the running for a Michelin star, it should be Current. We've heard about this place from friends for a while, and finally decided to give it a try for date night. At $100+ per person (if you like to eat a lot, like me), yes I consider it expensive. However, the experience and the food was worth it. The service was wonderful from start to finish. They leave a bottle of water on the table but someone came by to fill our glasses anyway. The staff are very attentive and our waiter made sure to come by and explain the little details on each dish that arrived. We ordered the hamachi crudo, crab cakes, and Spanish octopus for starters. The octopus was perfectly cooked. I wasn't a fan of the lima beans, but my partner loved the whole dish. We both loved the crab cakes a lot and I think it's in the top five I've ever had. The crudo was good, but we've just had VERYY good crudos before, so this was less memorable for us. We also ordered some bread after seeing how good it looked at another table, and our waiter was so lovely to bring us a second helping of it just because. For mains, I had the sea bass and my partner ordered the scallops. I rarely see an undercooked seared scallop, and I'm not complaining. I've never had such creamy, flavorful quinoa before. As for the sea bass, everything on the plate paired beautifully together - I found it just a tad too salty, but not a big deal. For dessert, my partner had to try his favorite affogato and it was delicious. However, the best thing we had was the yuzu posset. Just wow. It is super creamy, tart, balanced. I think it's the perfect way to end an umami-rich meal. I would come back just for this dessert. Just know that it is not an uber sweet or decadent dessert. Maybe not every bite will blow your mind here, but each dish we had was carefully crafted and fantastic. We didn't order any oysters this time because $4 per is pretty steep for Kumamotos, but Kumamotos are one of my favorites so I'm sure they're delicious here too. read more

Most of the food we ordered was quite good although the caviar service left a bit to be desired. Where the problem began was with our server. He genuinely seemed annoyed he had to work and barely checked in with us. We were there for a birthday dinner and I didn't even bother asking if there was a special dessert or something as to not have to deal with this dude. I've had a few great experiences here but this wasn't one of them. read more

I've been to Current a few times and while I do think the food is great, the last time we went, the service was middling at best. We were seated for our reservation and it took no less than 12 minutes for someone to even come acknowledge our existence. I'm not sure if there was confusion over whose section we were sitting in, but I was doing that thing where you expectantly look at every server walking by trying to make eye contact and figure out if they were meant for us. When we finally did have a server come by, she never acknowledged the wait, which I found exceptionally odd. Once service began though, things went back to normal. Our food was great, and the wine was good (selection is kind of lacking...but....Utah). All in all, I'd still come eat here again. read more

The hubby and I came here for date night. It was soooo good. We'll be back. The ambiance is very modern and peaceful. They have an awesome outdoor patio, which is where we sat. Service was also amazing. Shout out to our waiter Victor for taking good care of us and also recommending the delicious bread plate. Food, we ordered the ceviche, clam chowder, bread plate, and shrimp & grits. Honestly everything was excellent. The ceviche was made with fresh albacore, and had the right amount of tartness and heat if you like spicy. The clam chowder was the best I've found in Utah so far. It was so flavorful with the right sized chunks of seafood and potatoes. The croutons on the top were definitely made in house. The bread I think was a focaccia? It was heavenly. I would just come back for the bread honestly lol. Then the main course, shrimp and grits. It was delish. It wasn't super heavy or over-seasoned. The sauce and sautéed onions, red peppers and grape tomatoes were such a great combo. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and had a nice smoky flavor. Come here, you won't regret it! read more
