The owners of Salt Lake City’s Five Alls have decided to close their five-decade-old eatery, which at one time was one of Utah’s most popular restaurants for wedding proposals, birthday celebrations, holiday meals and dinner before the high school prom.
“We had a great 50-year run,” said Anne Halliday Lentz, a daughter of founder Richard Halliday, who opened the restaurant in 1969 and attracted customers with single-priced five-course Scottish meals served on old-English-style pewter plates and goblets.
The Five Alls signature appetizer was its clam dip served with freshly baked breadsticks, but other menu items were just as beloved — from the spinach soup and chicken Kiev to the cheesecake.
