    Excellent food and great service. And the ability to shop for prepared foods to go is an added bonus.

    We love the Market. Food is delicious, dark and moody place. Casual. You can get dinner and pick up something to heat up another night.

    We come to Hilton Head twice a year & this is one of our must stops. We usually go for happy hour. We had the arancini balls with vodka sauce, cheese pizza & brussel sprouts which again were very delicious. Always plenty of food. A couple of drinks rounded out the night. We will be back in the fall.

    We dined here on a visit to Hilton Head. The menu is somewhat limited, however the individual food items are very good. I would like to go back and try one of their pizzas.

    This is a favorite lunch experience for us, usually on a Saturday. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is always Michael Anthony’s special and wonderful. With a glass or two of wine, there’s no better place to enjoy a beautiful Hilton Head day. And then there’s the market where you’re bound to find something to take home for a meal at home later in the weekend. One of Hilton Head’s little gems.
