Menu looked great, but food was just not good. Drinks were mediocre. Servers were neutral to friendly, but very slow. Very expensive for the quality and experience… disappointing. Will not return.

My one-star for the food is because I have a gluten allergy and the restaurant treats such patrons as after-thoughts. It is ridiculous that an establishment with the title Food Market does not offer better gluten-free options. I was very disappointed that gluten-free fries are not offered -- fast food restaurants can offer this option. Most fast casual restaurants offer a gluten-free bun option, but the Food Market does not. I have eaten at most of the other restaurants in Columbia and Food Market is woefully not comparable in its gluten-free offerings.

Service and ambiance at the Food Market are superb. Can get a little noisy. Food overall is great; the variety is a plus. Fries tend to be salty.

Our new favorite restaurant! We went to the Food Market last night for a birthday dinner, thrilled to find a place with such a fun menu that was open on a Monday night (and busy!). Every dish we ordered (3 apps, 4 mains of various sizes, cocktails, and 3 desserts) exceeded our expectations--and we took home enough leftovers to have lunch again today. The food was beautifully plated and so yummy! It was all good, but especially don't miss the sweet corn beignet's, which were BETTER than the real thing in New Orleans. The service was was wonderful, and the restaurant is very sleek and modern. It is a bit noisy, which was fine for our small group. A larger group would probably want to be in the quieter side (on the right).

Second time enjoying dinner at The Food Market. The service was on point and checked on us frequently. My friend had the tacos and the cauliflower and enjoyed it a lot. I had the wings. They were done well and the Brie dip was different but paired well with the wings! Overall a great experience.

The Food Market is a great place for a relaxing Sunday brunch. The food was very good, and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. However, it appeared that she may have been covering more tables than normal. Nevertheless, she did an excellent job.

I enjoyed myself. The food items were good except my spaghetti & crab meatballs. Too many shells in the crab meatballs as if claw crab meat was used. Drinks were on point but they ran out of Hennessy for the side piece drink.

Inventive and tasty cocktails, absolutely delicious food! The two of us shared four small/little plates (charred octopus, corn beignets, street tacos, tuna meatballs) along with their featured bread pudding. I’d get all of them again, but the menu was so diverse that there were least a dozen other things I’d like to try next. Highly recommend!
