    We had a delightful meal with everything being delicious. Eric, our waiter, was helpful and attentive. I literally would have been satisfied eating just about anything and everything on the menu. As it was, we had four of the five appetizers, a Main course bring the cod (fantastic) and a dessert. My wife raved about the coffee. The only negative was that the chairs at the high tops felt increasingly uncomfortable as the night wore on. We’re absolutely going back.

    After a big mishap, with Instacart, on Christmas Eve that left my daughter and I without supplies for the Christmas dinner we had planned. On Christmas morning I was scrambling to find a place, that was open, and found Two-Fifty Market on Open Table and immediately booked a reservation for 2pm. It was a little bit of a drive for us but was well worth it. It was an all you can eat buffet and the food was quite good (especially the dessert). We are considering making it a new tradition. It is in a hotel and the lobby was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We spent about 2 and a half hours there and didn’t feel rushed at all. I would definitely recommend their Christmas dinner. It was lovely!
