   We enjoyed The Food Market for the first time this evening. We started with a cocktail, mocktail, and order of buffalo pickles which did not disappoint. I could have annihilated another order. We also had the street tacos and brined chicken entree. Since we were sharing, our waitress had them split the plate which was an unexpected surprise, it was a lot of food and I'm glad we split it along with the other little/small plates. The combination of flavors were oddly satisfying and the chicken flavor and texture really hit the spot. Lastly the tacos: I'm not sure they can be called street tacos with flour tortillas but if you are just expecting smaller tacos that aren't authentic, they were great. The flavors were good, meat was tender, and they didn't skimp on toppings...they just weren't as memorable as the other items we had. Shout out to Liza who took really good care of us; she has a fab personality and is very good at what she does. We stopped in relatively early (615p) for dinner with reservations and it was comfortable fullish with a few open seats and a low hum but by the time we left it was jam packed -- make reservations.

   This is my third experience with The Food Market. The first time I ordered several dishes and picked them up to sample at home and was very pleased. The second time my sister asked where I'd like to be taken to dinner and I selected The Food Market - we were both disappointed with the beet salad that seems to be prepared with canned beets. Last night a friend and I went and enjoyed our drinks and everything we ordered - plus the woman who waited on us was delightful! My friend loved her dessert of bread pudding and my blondie was excellent . . . our waiters favorite dessert. The only thing really lacking is comfort. The seats are hard, the interior seems intended to be industrial/stark - which doesn't feel cozy or relaxing. Do try the "Donnybrook" drink. If you're a bourbon drinker you may at first be reluctant to mess up perfectly good Bulliet, but it's a strangely delicious concoction!

   Third visit to The Food Market. The food is always good, but the service is inordinately slow, from receiving drinks to receiving food. I blame in on staff shortages, as the waiter said the kitchen was backed up wiIt seem to always be the kitchen?th the lunch crowd.

    This place never disappoints! We usually get plates to share, we have our favorites and always try something different. Cocktails were amazing! I had something similar to an Old Fashioned, very good. French Fried Onions, yum! Cauliflower dish was excellent, Spicy, Cheesey…..Shrimp, charred Pineapple and pork belly rounded out our shared plates. We ended with the 1/2 baked blonde-so good-the torched marshmallow was amazing.

    The lobster Mac was so salty it gave me a headache. My friend and I both felt ill after dining in. We asked for broccolini in place of the salty lobster Mac and it came to the table charred, overcooked, dry and only 2 pieces. The manager came over and apologized but didn’t at all attempt to rectify the bill. I won’t be returning and i won’t recommend.

    It was a a great lunch date with a friend on a Friday afternoon. The hostess seated me quickly and menus were provided immediately so I could peruse while waiting for my friend and waitress. It was also restaurant week so, score! Our waitress was great, it was busy so it did take her a bit longer to come take our orders. We got the Gucci lemonade, the steakhouse veggie roll and the falafel dish from the restaurant week menu. Everything was flavorful and came pretty quickly. The veggie roll was a surprise since we did not expect it to be in rice paper. But it was a fun and creative take on a spring roll if you like blue cheese and bacon! The lemonade was a bit sweet at first but my tastebuds got used to it. I think the tart really helped the sweet and before I knew it, both me and my friend’s drinks were finished! The falafel dish was great. A variety of textures, fantastic medley of flavors and just the right amount of food to be satisfied and not overly full. We did not have room for dessert this meal but from a past visit , their dirt cup is pretty good and nostalgic of childhood.

    Really great laid back atmosphere and vibe. They played some great music the entire time which made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Our service was great and food/drinks were good but a bit on the pricey side but overall my friends and I enjoyed it and would definitely go back. They have so much on the menu so we’re looking forward to returning.

    The restaurant was extremely busy so we got seated in the bar area which would have been fun if they were capable of keeping the front door closed so we kept getting blasted with cold air. We finally asked to be moved and the hostess seemed annoyed by our request. It was super unfortunate. The bathrooms were also fairly dirty but the overall service from our server was great!

    Came here for a birthday brunch and while the food was fantastic, the service was certainly lacking. I’m not sure if it was a staffing issue, because our server was also the only person working the bar… but we went a solid 30 mins or more without anyone checking on us and eventually walked to the bar ourselves to get another round of drinks. After that we thought the server would make more of an effort to check in on us, but that didn’t happen and we had to try several times before finally getting her attention. Again, great food and great atmosphere… but if you’re looking for good service and a boozy brunch where the drinks keep flowing this might not be your spot.
