The Five Alls has always been a special place for our family. It was one of my parents' favorite restaurants, and over the years we've continued the tradition of celebrating special occasions here. There's something truly unique about the atmosphere and the five-course dining experience that makes dinner feel like an event rather than just another meal. The regular menu has so many great classics, and the nightly specials never disappoint. The food, service, and one-of-a-kind Old English atmosphere make The Five Alls a Salt Lake City dining experience that has stood the test of time. If you're looking for a memorable place for an anniversary, birthday, date night, or special celebration, The Five Alls is absolutely worth experiencing. Five stars! read more

It's had been decades since I had eaten here! Not the experience I remember but I was in highschool so probably impressed by anything that cost over $20 My steak and lobster was good but for the price we paid not sure it was worth it. Our server was fairly new and was a bit slow. Which was fine but for the price you pay you would think it would be top notch. The five course meal they claim is 5 courses but wasn't impressed with the appetizers or the dessert. I won't be going back but you should experience it once. I guess. read more

Five Alls will always hold such a special place in my heart because it's where my boyfriend became my fiancé! I absolutely loved the medieval, King Arthur-style atmosphere. I'm a sucker for themed restaurants, so I thought the whole concept was adorable and unique. I also really enjoyed the classical music playing throughout dinner--it added such a romantic touch to the evening. That said, the restaurant did have a somewhat musty smell that was a little off-putting. And while I love dim lighting for a romantic atmosphere, some areas felt a bit too dark for my liking. The food was a little hit-or-miss for us. The crackers and oyster dip were...interesting. Not bad, not good--just interesting! The meatballs and gravy unfortunately had almost no flavor, even after adding salt, and the bread was so hard that it was difficult to bite through. I also didn't love the cauliflower soup. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. I was really looking forward to the Chicken Kiev after hearing so many good things about it, but unfortunately, mine was very dry--even with the sauce. However, there were definitely some standouts! The salads were very good, and everything about my fiancé's dinner was delicious! His steak and lobster tail were phenomenal. In fact, his steak was seriously some of the best steak I've ever tasted, and the butter served with the lobster tail was TO DIE FOR! The cheesecake was also outstanding. The sugar-cookie crust made it especially delicious and was probably one of my favorite parts of the entire meal. But more than anything, Five Alls will forever be special to me because it's where my boyfriend surprised me by proposing! Our server was incredibly sweet and even recorded the entire proposal for us. That meant so much to me and gave us something we'll be able to treasure forever. The food may have been a mixed experience, but the memory we made here was absolutely priceless. read more

This has been our go to for our anniversary for many years. We hadn't been in a couple of years so we decided to go. Unfortunately a lot has changed- and not for the better. We were there for 45 minutes before we even got our salads. Instead of the salad I ordered, the waiter brought me soup. I decided to give it a try. It was horrible. Darren's salad was one big piece of lettuce shoved into a bowl. For the entree we both ordered the filet Oscar. I ordered the steak med well and Darren ordered med. What I got was a rare steak. Darren's was med rare. When I told the waiter he asked if I would like a box so I could "fire up the grill" and cook it at home. On a positive note, the crackers and dip, and the parfaits were just like old times. The ambiance is fun, but we're going to have to say goodbye to this old friend. read more

Our family consistently enjoys The Five Alls for its exceptional ambiance and culinary offerings. The five-course dinner is consistently delightful. We particularly appreciate the slush, often opting for a larger serving. The onion dip is so exquisite that we reserve a portion for the bread course. We have savored the crab, chicken kiev, halibut, and filet mignon, all of which have been prepared to a high standard. We have celebrated numerous special occasions here, including birthdays, anniversaries, and Valentine's Day. During holiday periods, a special menu is thoughtfully provided. This establishment has become a cherished family tradition, and we hold it in high regard. read more

Delicious food every single time! The medieval atmosphere is unique and fun. I highly recommend!!

We had the dining room to ourselves, and Quimby took great care of us! I love the atmosphere here (sucker for anything medieval), but the food is also delicious. We had great appetizers, delicious bread with whipped butter, amazing chicken Kiev, and yummy turtle sundaes for dessert! Quimby was especially attentive to our baby, bringing her free fruit and peach sorbet and warning us when a dish had alcohol in it. We will definitely come back! read more

Had a wedding dinner here it was amazing from the food to the service. It's a fun medieval atmosphere. Goblet and all .

Shout out to our terrific server McKenna! This was my first time to The Five Alls and it was exactly what my friend and I needed, a cozy spot with yummy food. The thing that really hit the mark though, was the ability to just sit and visit without feeling rushed. We were the last ones out the door and McKenna never once made us feel like we were keeping her. She was attentive and kind, and she gave two good friends the opportunity to just enjoy an evening during this busy season without feeling like we had to hurry away. Merry Christmas and thank you! read more

It really pains me to leave this review, but after 20 years of visiting Five Alls on most of our special occasions, we probably won't be back. Food quality - good with one Caveat (no French onion soup available this visit, severely disappointed) Service - excellent Price - I knew what to expect, this isn't McDonald's Atmosphere - poor. The tables seating and chairs have not been updated or improved since i started going over 20 years ago. Fine But all the fun paintings and tapestries were gone.... I'm not sure if they were doing a deep clean the night we were there, but it felt emptied out. But my biggest disappoint was the lack of dress code. I remember when business casual was expected and no collar shirts were turned away. We can get fillet ala Oscar at other places, and probably pay a little less, but for me it isn't about the money if the experience lives up to the price. However, when you allow white t-shirts and cotton shorts with Birkenstocks worn by one guest, and a baseball cap worn at the table by another, I draw the line. $300 for dinner and wine having to look at that the entire time..... never again. Please respect those who have made the effort to dress appropriately! You may not want to lose business or offend anyone by turning them away, but I'm offended and you've lost a loyal customer with me and my family. At least 4 visits per year, and some larger parties. I also feel worse for the women they were with. Their attire tells me that their dates weren't worth dressing up for. The staff should be given the power and directed to turn them away. Sad We won't be back. R Olsen Bountiful, Ut Filet Oscar read more

Review only based on food. (Reading other reviews, there are some who appreciate formal dressing etc.) Alternatives: On budget?: "The other place", looking for good food and fancy place?: "Wildwood in avenues". Food: it's a Cracker Barrel for fancy people. First course: 4 meatballs (to be shared among 4 people!) + bread and butter. The onion infused butter was the most delicious thing I had during the dinner. Second course: 5-6 slices of pineapples with coconut. I didn't even understand logic of it. It's not like mind blowing combination of flavors that would wow you. Third course: average salad. I did get it with blue cheese dressing but that's all. Main course: fish and chips, the fish and chips came with no dipping sauce, although was provided with off the shelf ketchup and another sauce bottle. The main course literally came with 2 small fish fillets. Maybe I made mistake choosing that dish? But for the price it was not at all what I was expecting. With all ambiance of British restaurant I was expecting mushy pees or some interesting dips but nothing. Desert: there were sorbets and ice creams included in the price but you would need to pay for others like cheesecake/chocolate cake. I didn't bother. I had preconceived notion that this is going to be a British restaurant but the restaurant says it's a medieval restaurant. So again maybe I shouldn't have been expecting mushy pees or bread pudding or minced meat pie. The food was bland but maybe that's due to the fact spices weren't introduced in Europe by medieval times (or not available to commoners). Maybe I should've ordered some other dish. Service: one is expected to choose all courses in the beginning, but apart from that service was great and the waiter was super helpful! Ambiance: okay. read more

This place is awful and I would highly recommend AVOIDING it. Where to begin.. This was our first time here and didn't know what to expect. The 5 course menu seemed appealing and the service was prompt. We each ordered an $80 ribeye. I also ordered an old fashioned whiskey cocktail. The old fashioned was completely horrendous! A harbinger of things to come. It was not touched after the first sip. We remained optimistic about the quality of the food, based on the prices... until the appetizer and courses started to arrive.. Appetizer - lukewarm meatballs.. not off to a great start 1st.. bread strips with oyster sauce (cream cheese).. flavorless and basic.. 2nd.. fruit or soup.. we tried each. The soup had good flavor but was served cold.. fruit (an orange slice and pineapple chunks) was grade school lunch esq in quality and presentation 3rd.. salad.. incredibly basic.. no frills just filler..and bread with butter. Served cold and hard. That's "how they do it". Main course.. the steaks were something you'd expect at a greasy spoon with eggs, DEFINITELY NOT worth $80... or $50.. more like $19.95.. and at that rate just go somewhere else. We expressed our dissatisfaction to our server and were offered an upgraded dessert for our trouble. Thanks but no thanks. Let me shout from the rooftops!! Hear ye, hear ye.. this place SUCKS! Go to a real steakhouse. read more

The Five Alls Restaurant - a hand holding a receipt - Seafood Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

We had dinner here for our anniversary. I hadn't been here since before Covid, so I was excited to be back! Our server, Michael, was outstanding. I am known for drinking A LOT of water and he kept it filled! He also answered a lot of questions that my husband made fun of me for It looked more open than before! The ceilings are new and look sharp and they removed some drapes that (I believe) were there to provide privacy, but it seems bigger and more up to date now. Unlike other reviews, I don't care what other patrons are wearing. I just know everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves. I had an off menu dish of fish and chips which was delicious. My only problem was that I ended up taking half of the main course home because I was so full by the time it came, but that has always been the case when we eat there. The only thing that made me sad momentarily was that the delicious drink they used to bring out is no longer part of the meal, BUT I was able to purchase some, so then I was happy again! I wish I had been able to try a Bloody Mary or a Buttered Rum, but there is so much food that I had to choose a desert to go. There is no way I could have another drink on top of all that! Just as a heads up, if you have never been there, Google Maps will try to take you to the west side of the building. However, the entrance is on the east. A miracle has also occurred since the last time we were there...you can now park in the parking lot of the Oriental Rug Company! Yay!! I'm not sure how that happened, but it made parking much easier! Finally, look at their website for current prices. The prices elsewhere on the internet are wayyyyyy out of date. For two of us with a tip it was about $240 I almost gave it 4 stars based on the price, but for me the overall experience is still 5 star. This is a place you go to relax and take your time. read more

Loved the ambiance, the Oscar filet, king crab legs, fruity drink, breads (house made), and sorbets. Instead of the potato my husband got the English chips--they were so good. My grandfather turned 93 and we took him for his birthday. He said it was the nicest restaurant he's ever been to (and he's been all over the world). He kept saying how good everything was and how it was the perfect birthday experience. Thanks Five Alls and Willa, our excellent server, for doing such a wonderful time on my grandfather's special day. I did read some poor old reviews but i chatted with Willa about that...the restaurant has new owners now who apparently are doing such a fantastic job improving but remaining true to the wonderful ambiance and time-tested recipes of the restaurant. read more

I don't know how this place has 3 stars. Beyond phenomenal service, and excellent food for the price point! Will definitely be returning!

We took a group of 10 for a birthday party and we were at first excited because the ambiance is pretty cool, the staff was kind and the place was packed. However we ended up being a bit dissatisfied with our expensive experience. From the hair found in the food by three in our party to the waitress telling us our meals would be served on "Peter" plates (however she worked really hard and seemed to care about her job) and the food not being near as tasty as the prices implied I would recommend this place with some hesitation. Go for the experience not necessarily the food. read more

The price of the food is not comparable to the taste and quality of the food. Food and service is terrible. Wouldn't go back ever again. Also, server gave our salads to the table next to us then gave them to us after they told him that they didn't order ranch.....gross. COVID: Tables were hardly spaced out and I felt very uncomfortable as there were several tables around us with people coughing and not wearing masks. Needed to go home and take a shower immediately. read more

Was in Salt Lake City for a meeting and this restaurant was recommended by someone who lives there and I have to say it was NOT GOOD. The first indication was it was totally empty. They offer a five course menu that each course got progressively worse. I ordered the pumpkin bisque soup that I sent back after one spoonful, ordered king crab legs that were old and cold. Desert was tasteless. We were a group of 14 and honestly no one enjoyed there meal. The good news is I doubt I will ever go to Salt Lake City and if I do I would never eat here again. read more

We've been coming to this place for over 35 years. This is a great restaurant if you're looking for a fine dining experience at a 'hidden place'. Parking can be tricky but it's totally worth the trouble. Steaks and prime rib have never disappointed. Seafood is as good as you're going to get in the Salt Lake Area. The service has always been fantastic. Get reservations. It is on the pricey side but for a special evening, it's worth it. read more

Delicious food, o-k ambiance, and decent service. This place is as unique as they come. It is tucked away by a rug store, and makes you feel like you've been transported to medieval days once you enter the doors. Firstly, this place is dark, and when I say dark I mean really dark. The windows are all closed and the lighting is composed of lanterns. The interior also feels a bit musty and a little dirty. That being said, the food here is truly superb. The clam dip is absolutely delicious and the homemade sourdough bread is PHENOMENAL. The Alaskan crab legs were also so delicious and super fresh. I loved the baked potato with everything on it, and I loved the meatballs. The portion sizes are large and the whole experience with the courses is very fun! Our service is decent, our waitress was sweet, but we were missing water for a large part of our dinner and didn't see her for a good portion of it. The guy who did our reservations was awesome. He picked up the phone each time (even after hours) and was super accommodating with seating. Overall, great food, and we will definitely be back!

This restaurant serves 5 courses. Appetizer, soup or fruit, Salad, entree, and dessert. There are also options to upgrade throughout. Reservations are not required although I do recommend them, especially on weekends. This restaurant closed permanently in mid 2019. However it recently reopened with new ownership. If you been here before you'll be happy to know that the many recipes are the same as before. The dining At this restaurant is to be experienced as more a have an event then a quick meal. It takes about an hour and a 1/2 To properly enjoy this experience. On this particular evening the timing of our dining experience was perfect, and the food with absolutely delicious. I had a stuffed pork chop and the wife had a ribeye steak both were cooked perfectly. The server was pleasant and very knowledgeable. They currently do not have a liquor license, but have applied for 1. The server said they should have it within the month. After tip we spent about a $120 on a meal for 2 people. Be definitely serve you plenty of food but I still feel the price is a little bit high for the value I received. I would feel more comfortable if the total was around $90. This is just my personal opinion. However we definitely will be back. We were definitely go here again. read more

Great food. Food came out faster than we could eat. Ambiance was fun, we didn't know that we needed to park in the front so we parked in the back. Service was good. I got the halibut and it was amazing. read more

Enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. The food was solid but not remarkable. Service was good The multiple courses Included clam dip with homemade breadsticks, meatballs (1 per person), soup (ours was a potato like broth with wilted fresh spinach) salad, fresh sour dough bread and rolls, selected entree (included choice of starch and vegetable) and dessert. I was pretty full by the time the entree was served. It was good wholesome fair. If you love hollandaise sauce - they apply liberally! Enjoyed the evening - if you like simply prepared food. I would go back but there are a lot of other great food options in SLC in this price range. Dinner was $110 (without tax or tip). read more

The Five Alls Restaurant - They left the decor. I love it! - Seafood Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

First visit to Five Alls, and It smells really bad when you walk in. Like your grandmother's living room crossed with smelly feet. The carpet probably hasn't been replaced in 50 years. I love themed restaurants, so I was excited to try it. It is supposed to be British, but I found very few actual British items on the menu. My buddy pointed out to me that the bread really smelled bad as well, after that I was just kind of grossed out. I ordered a Ribeye and it was prepared properly and it was very good. Other than that the other 4 courses were just awful. The stinky breads, the tiny portion of tiny shrimp on wilted lettuce Shrimp Cocktail, Meatballs that looked straight out of the freezer section. It was all bad. Even dessert wasn't good. The service was bad as well. No drink refills, got our order wrong. Never asked if things were ok. Unfortunately this place is a no go. I would have been happier if they just brought me my steak and nothing else. Until they replace the carpet and replace the rest of their 30 year old menu I won't be going back! read more

I had heard that the food here has gone down hill. Nope, It is still great food!! We came here and ordered the Filet Oscar & Chicken Kiev. The steaks were large and cooked to the perfect temp and were fabulous. The chicken Kiev, was so moist and tender, it was just as fabulous. The dining experience is always fun and different here with different courses and different tastes and textures. I'm glad to find the food quality hasn't changed, maybe only for the better. I know it's different than dining at the likes of Copper Onion, and thankfully so. You need to have some variety and this definitely fills the void. The staff and service was exceptional and we will be back soon! read more

The Five Alls Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

My wife and I were really looking forward to eating here, being huge history fans. Our reservation was for 6pm. We were seated at 6:15, after the guy who runs the rug store nearby threatened to lock our car in his lot if we parked there. Apparently there were a lot of big parties that night, and the hostess kept apologizing for the mess ups and saying that she needed "just a minute" to fix it. We sat by the entrance and it was constantly full of people waiting to be seated. The service was pretty bad, going to put that right out there. Our server apologized, but it seemed that everyone was trying to do everyone else's job. My wife and I were frequently out of water, and my meal came with a soft drink but I never got a refill. Again, I attribute this to the seating screwups by the hostess. We wanted to order more but we didn't have an extra 45 minutes to wait for it. Our server said that "normally when it's this busy, we have someone just for drinks". Why there wasn't one when the house was packed it beyond me. The food was decent. The brocolli soup was very good, and the breads were fresh and delicious. My steak came out undercooked, but again I didn't say anything because the service was just so slow. My wife and I wanted to make a tradition of going to this restaurant when we visit the area, but we won't be back. Severe lack of control in terms of labor was just rediculous. read more

Service: The service was good, the room was maybe only 1/4 full on Thursday so they weren't horribly busy. Hours: The hours are pretty bad, they are only open for Dinner on Thurs-Sat, that's it. Food: The food was just OK at best. - First Course - For the first course they brought out a plate with some fingerling bread and a cup with something like a Dill dip for the bread. The bread was cold and didn't appear to be fresh, but overall it was pretty good. Along with the bread they brought out a large soup sized bowl with a single tiny meatball (maybe the size of a nickel). While the meatball was fine, it was so tiny in such a large bowl it just didn't make sense. Why wouldn't you put at least 3 meatballs in a bowl that size, or maybe skip it all together. They also brought out a small citrus cocktail which was actually pretty good. - Second Course - They brought out a shrimp cocktail. The shrimp was cleaned, and detailed, it was room temperature and was served in a bowl over a bed of lettuce with a pretty standard cocktail sauce. There were about 5 shrimp in total. The shrimp was fine, but not really anything different than what I could pick up in a grocery store. - Third Course - For this course they brought out a salad in the same sized bowl as the sad lonely meatball I got previously. The salad was ok, it was a mix of lettuce, with carrots, some broccoli and cauliflower, it had some very strong overpowering stuffed green olives in there as well, and the ranch was very thick, creamy, and strong. The lettuce was slightly wilted as you can see in the pics. Along with the Salad they also brought out a couple of slices of bread, along with some butter and sour cream to go along with it. One slice was some sort of artisan garlic bread which was actually quite good, the second was a sour dough bread which was fine at first but had a very strong bitter/sour after taste which was not pleasant. - Fourth Course - For the main course I got the Fillet-Oscar. I ordered this Medium-Well, but it came fairly dry and Well Done. The meat, was still tender however which at least tells me they are using quality meat. It was covered with crab and asparagus then topped with some crazy strong sauce. The peas on the plate were also covered in a sauce (hollandaise) which again was way too much and way too strong. Along with this I also received a baked potato that was hard on the outside with very little going on inside despite getting it loaded with cheese and bacon. The steak its self had little flavor, it seems like they were counting on the sauces to carry the flavors which seems to have been the theme through out the meal. - Fifth Course - For Desert I went ahead and upgraded to one of their "Premium" deserts, the Cheesecake. It was clearly homemade which was a good sign, and the flavors were just OK, but it was not very consistent with textures or flavors. The raspberry topping was pretty bitter if eaten alone and was only viable when eaten with the cheesecake. Overall, the meal was just barely OK. It was not by any means an exceptional meal and was certainly not the rustic meal I was expecting based on their website. At the very least the fillet they are using appears to be high quality, but then they ruin it with their presentation choice making it swim in some strong sauce. The best things in the meal were all things that they probably didn't prepare themselves. It is certainly not worth the hour long drive, nor the crazy limited hours, nor the ridiculous price on par with Ruth's Chris. Based on my experiences here, I simply cannot and would not recommend this restaurant. For the $65 cost per person there are significantly better options available. - To The Owners - If you read this I think you are in serious trouble. You have a store front that cannot be seen unless you know what to look for. Even knowing exactly where you were and what to look for I couldn't tell if you were open and active when I arrived. Even worse, if you actually did do well I have no idea where your customers would all park since parking is so limited. Despite the basic problems listed above, you also face very serious problems with your food. It is such a shame that you are doing all the crazy things you are with the menu instead of focusing on a much more rustic, but good quality food like your website would lead us to believe. If something like a Fillet is cooked correctly, you have no need to smother it in sauces as it will have all the flavor it needs. The crab that topped my steak was inedible because of the sauce, and the peas were not much better off. Sadly your food across the board was pretty lacking. For $65 per person I expect near perfect food across the board. If you are not able to provide that then it may be worth looking into simplifying the menu. There were many things that didn't make much sense to me during the meal. read more

My husband proposed to me here, so we like to go back for our anniversary every few years. In the past, this place has not disappointed! It's been charming! You eat off of pewter, soup, salad, an array of breads, and dessert are all included with your main dish. The atmosphere is almost like eating in an Old English tavern. All usually adding to the quality experience. We returned for our anniversary last night after being out of state for 4 years, and were very disappointed. The place seems to have not been kept up in years. The seats were stained. What should be pink is a gray color. There are crumbs tucked in the seats that seem to have been there for quite some time. And the carpets were in need of a major cleaning. In addition, the whole place smelled stale and there were weeds outside instead of a little English garden as it was before. The food was average, but both my husband and I felt like we would have received better quality at Texas Roadhouse- and for a lot less money. He ordered the stuffed pork chop and I had the New York steak. The total bill with tip was exactly $100. NOT money worth spent. Since you can get the same meal with an appetizer, salad, drink, and dessert in other places for less money, I can only assume that Five Alls is charging for the atmosphere. As I mentioned, in the past the money was well spent for a charming evening and good food. This time, we left feeling like we probably would not return and that it was not worth the money. read more

To quote a famous Brit, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." Touted as a very unique Utah restaurant ("These 10 Unique Restaurants in Utah Will Give You an Unforgettable Dining Experience," http://www.onlyinyourstate.com/utah/10-unique-restaurants-in-ut/ )...as noted on The Five Alls Facebook page, I was REALLY excited to go there last Friday for my birthday with my wife and son. But after eating my five course dinner, and somewhat enjoying it...all I could think about was, "how was I going to write this up in Yelp?" I even asked my wife and son what they would rate it... Hmmmmmmm... So after they both gave it four stars...the best I could muster was three. Just too many so-so things contradicting the good things...thus the quote above. Going for it was the atmosphere (you walk in and there is a blazing fire to warm your cockles...), and then after that it kinda' goes downhill. Yes, the "Five Alls" are depicted in stained glass mosaics around the restaurant (cool...), but it didn't feel warm and inviting like I was expecting. My chair was terribly uncomfortable (especially after enduring all five courses...), but the pewter table setting was kinda' cool (yet expected considering the motif...) So it was a mix of good and 'meh'...and the longer I was there, the more 'meh' there was to notice. I think Alec T said it perfectly, the Five Alls is stuck in the 70's...back when it competed with some of the better restaurants like Log Haven (see my write up from one year ago when I celebrated last year's birthday there...), and Snowbird's Steak Pit...and probably stood out amongst the competition. But here in 2016, it's lost a lot of it's luster. In fact, The Five Alls was a favorite of my Mom's back then, as she would frequent the place for lunch after playing bridge with the girls. But this being my first trip (ever), it frankly did not make my socks roll up and down real fast. Our waitress, Grace, did a great job, but seemed to be handling one more table than she was capable of (as there were periods when she just flat disappeared...) The five courses were as promised...and we upgraded to the shrimp cocktails for course #2. Note that these were pretty smallish in size, and not your typical jumbo prawns (even though you pay an additional $8.50 for the opportunity...) The salads (course #3) were ok, smallish, but seemingly fresh. For my main course (#4) I wanted the prime rib...but alas...at 7:00 PM, they had run out. Hmmmm...at 7:00 PM? So instead, I had the NY Strip, medium rare, with the baked potato. Maybe it was the way the steak was seasoned, but it tasted odd. It was cooked perfectly, and topped with some sauteed mushrooms...but that odd flavor just couldn't be ignored. All of our baked potatoes were puny...and we had to ask Grace for additional sour cream for those. The breads were de-lish...some of the softest sourdough I've ever enjoyed...with a hint of rye in there for added taste. Dessert was good. I wanted the sherbet, but for some reason got upgraded to the raspberry parfait...with a candle for my birthday! Thank you, Grace! So there you go. As The Five Alls says on their website, "Caveat Emptor..." Let the buyer beware...as you may find it the best of times, or the worst of times. read more

The Five Alls was one of my parents favorite restaurants in the Salt Lake Valley nearly 30 years ago, and apparently nothing has changed but it is so cute and underrated. They closed for a few years so I think some of the ratings reflect that time, but we were really impressed. The windows have a beautiful view of the salt lake valley at sunset that we enjoyed during our first course. The prices on the menu seem a little high, but you are getting so much for your money it is worth it. Our first course was a fantastic meatball with some poppyseed breadsticks and a fish dip and it felt like food was rolling out all night. We had soup, strawberries, bread, salads and then a great main course. I got the pork chop and it was fantastic. I would definitely recommend it, or any menu item because it seemed like everyone was happy! Dessert was an ice cream parfait or you can pay extra chocolate to get a peppermint cake or a few other options. The cake was fine, but a little dry for $8 extra. Overall, this place is incredible! You will not be disappointed and want to return for whatever somewhat fancy dinner you have! read more
