Adelaide

Located on the first floor of Le Meridien hotel in Salt Lake’s West Quarter, Adelaide turns up the swanky energy with velvet banquettes and a stylish oyster bar. There’s some French and New Orleans influence on the menu, like andouille sausage and Cajun rice, along with standouts such as the branzino with chimichurri sauce and the seafood platter of shellfish and sauces. The dessert makes this a top-pick to celebrate a birthday, specifically if you’re eating the brown butter praline bar with bananas foster caramel. After dinner, head to the rooftop Van Ryder bar for fire pits, city views, and an Old Fashioned with black walnut bitters.
