   We had a reservation at 7 PM. The moment we were seated, we were told that kitchen was technically closing at seven and we would have to order everything right at the moment. Even while we were eating main course we felt rushed. There was absolutely no reason for any of that. Dinner is not just feeding oneself, but it’s an experience. And when it comes to experience, this was mediocre experience. Food was great and service itself in general was good.

   The best restaurant in Stockton. The food is always amazing. The vibe is nice but not upscale. The food though... I always go to Market Tavern when I'm in town, and it's always a highlight of my trip. Last night we went there for Thanksgiving. I didn't know what to expect. Different menu than usual. We both had the Turkey w gravy, walnut stuffing, cranberry sauce, etc. The first course was a choice of 2 salads or butternut squash should, which the wife ordered. I didn't know I liked butternut squash. We both thought it was perfection. Fresh pie & ice cream for dessert. Everything was excellent. We both feel so lucky we went!!!

   They hosted Thanksgiving and everything was extremely well performed, from the drinks to the "traditional" turkey dinner, I've never had a plate of turkey (with all the trimmings) quite that good. Last year I went to Robin's Restaurant in Cambria for Thanksgiving, and I thought that was the best ever. So now I need to have these two dinners side by side so I can make a fair comparison. Which of course will be very hard to pull off. Nice job MT@STKN!

   We were visiting Stockton to see a show. I was excited when I discovered the restaurant because we are gluten-free. Their menu was clearly marked that they had a wide selection of gluten-free options. The appetizers we ordered were outstanding. The deviled eggs and the wings were delicious. Our drinks came a little late after the appetizers were served. Our waitress seemed very aloof and uninterested in being there. Our meals were good, not great. I had the short ribs and my husband had the king salmon. When the food runner brought our main dishes, they were placed in front of us and they walked away, never asking if there was anything we needed. The appetizers were the star of the show. Our waitress barely came back to check on us, we had to flag her down to get our second drink. When the food runner brought our main dishes. They were placed in front of us and they walked away. Never asking if there was anything we needed. In total, my husband had two glasses of wine. I had two cocktails. We had two appetizers and two main dishes and the total pre-tip was $171 dollars. I will say this, if the service was better, more personable, more friendly, our overall value would’ve increased for our food in the experience. The ambience was enjoyable, even though it was a bit loud. When you’re paying for a top dollar meal you should expect top dollar service to justify the price.

   Great restaurant and food, excellent service! However the noise level was too high making it difficult to converse at our table.

    I always have a good experience at Market Tavern. The service is great! There was a small delay in the meal due to a very busy Friday lunch crowd. Our server kept us informed, perfectly understandable. Good food!
