Yes, the Eccles Theater is right downtown. I would suggest a few. A favorite is Fireside on Regent which is nearly attached to the theater. It is on Regent Street which is one street north of Main Street and adjacent to the theater's back entrance. This is a sit down restaurant with homemade pasta, amazing macaroni and cheese, great pizza, and more. I would give yourself an hour prior to the show or a little bit more. If you want a more casual place, there is a hot chicken place behind the theater on Regent Street. It is called, "Pretty Bird Chicken." There aren't too many places to sit so only go here if you don't have much time. It is from one of the owners of Forage - our old favorite restaurant in SLC. There are a few new restaurants that have been opened on Regent Street that I haven't been to. One is called, "Honest Eatery," and it looks to be fast casual. I think another one is "Tumeric Indian Cuisine." A place around the corner is Martine that has great Tapas. And you can always go across the street to The Cheesecake Factory or to Brio. You should be safe at any of these if you make a reservation 90 minutes prior to the start of the show. Enjoy!

There is a parking garage off of 100S and Regent Street that is behind the theater. Hope that helps.

We sat furter back and in the center and the acoustics were great. The acoustics throughout the theater are excellent according to several people I know that have gone to different kinds of performances. It's not a huge theater so I think you'll be good on the aisle. Have fun and enjoy your concert.

I would agree with the above answers - For the shows we've seen there (one night concert/celebrity type) there was no dress code. You saw everything from shorts to suits. We dressed in business casual - nice clothes but not fancy.
