I’ve been to market Tavern more times than I can count and last night was exceptional. They sat us in the back room where it was quieter, and our server was amazing. I started with the Equistes, watermelon and burrata salad followed by the summer lasagne. Everything tasted so good. I also had the Panama mocktail. It was awesome. Thank you for a rather enjoyable night with old friends.

The food was good as always. I was a little disappointed in our server. I tried to give her my black Angus number from the app and she sort of brushed me off. She asked for it later on before she got our ticket ready. I was wondering why my salad was taking so long and the salad and food came out at the same time. I had asked for the dressing on the side and my salad was drenched with dressing. Of course I sent it back. I ate my salmon and rice because I didn’t want them to get cold and I ended up having to take the salad home. Other than that my mom and I went home full and satisfied.  She asked for it later on before she got our ticket ready.

The steaks were cooked to perfection and so tender like usual. That's why my wife and I keep coming back to celebrate birthdays and/or anniversaries and holidays. Our server, Leb was very polite and very efficient. She periodically checked on us to see how the food was tasting and if we needed anything. However, there was a little bit of a wait for our food to come. Considering my wife and I were the first to be seated on that side of the restaurant. This was around 4:35pm. Our reservations was for 4:30pm.It was virtually empty. We've dined in a few times and our food usually comes rather quickly. I guess we've gotten spoiled from our past experiences. Our server came and took our orders. (The drinks, the appetizer, the salads and the main course). A few minutes later, a party of three were seated to the table behind us. A few minutes after, a family of four were seated to a table across from us. A little bit later(approx 7 minutes) a larger party of 6 was seated at a bigger round table also across from us. After all these, I find it interesting that the table behind us got their food first. We could hear and smell the steaks sizzling when they were brought over. My wife and I just looked at each other wondering what's going on. A few minutes later, our server came with our food. It would have been a perfect dinner and a perfect night if it wasn't for the delay.

Visalia
Double LL Steak House & Saloon in Visalia, California has been in operation since 1995. It's become known for its bone in ribeye and other menu items from the grill. The rib eye dinner is also very popular and comes with a loaded potato. You can also add sides like the garlic bread or bleu cheese salad. Most customers don't even bother with sauce at Double LL Steak House & Saloon because the meat is cooked over oak. This includes the filet mignon.

There are plenty of cocktails at Double LL Steak House & Saloon worth considering. If you like martinis, for example, you'll want to consider the many options.
