My sister and I had brunch here on Sunday before heading to the airport. It is a really fun place to eat, but it is noisy. We made reservations and sat in a seated area that is described as having "more formal" service. There is a big bar area and and also an open seating area. Our food was delicious and our waiter, David, made excellent recommendations.

Lotta fun. Good menu. Great beer selection. Found a wine here that we have not seen in the states - Bandol... Outstanding location. Very crowded on weekends. Quite loud. Parking is a challenge and a bit of a walk, but worth the effort. Neat place to stroll around before or after dinner.

The ladies who ordered the pate were disappointed in the portion size...it took quite a long time to get the check. However we loved walking around where the vendors were

The food was so good, our waitress told us she was more proud of the food here than any restaurant she had ever worked at, and we could see why!

This restaurant was a nice relaxing place for lunch. Most of the restaurants in the building are counter service but this place had comfortable table seating, while preserving the public market feel. The server was also very friendly and went out of his way to accommodate.

Great venue, great idea. The noise level was very high, with the loudspeakers right near us, pounding music, making any conversation impossible. Prix fixe menu offered was great on paper, but the fish, chicken breast, vegetables were overcooked, and consequently very dry. I passed on the fish, but did not get more chicken as was promised. Instead of 7 portions of salad, we barely got 5, with a few leaves of arugula/spinach and a small slice of tomato for each of us. Both plates were served at one end of the table, so by the time they got at the other end, there were few leaves left. The vinaigrette was basically absent and when we asked for condiments they offered a minuscule container with oil (not olive) and balsamic. The desert was too rich and abundant and we ended up leaving it on the plate. There needs to be some quality assessment and retraining of the cooks so that the level intended is met by everyone.
