    Always have a hard time deciding what to order. Everything sounds amazing. Whatever you order though, never disappoints!

    Friends and I went and enjoyed a wonderful brunch here on Saturday. I was early for our noon reservation but they seated me right away while I waited for the group. The waitress brought out some donut holes to enjoy while we talked and caught up. We ordered the shrimp and grits which my friend loved. The Army breakfast which another friend enjoyed, the lazy French toast which our friend loved but couldn’t finish and I had the Gnocchi hash which was excellent and I took home leftovers. It’s a little noisy when it’s busy but we were able to enjoy our conversation. Service was great as our waitress checked on us multiple times during the meal refreshing waters and coffees. I love coming to the Food Market!

    Our first time was great! The wait staff, food, and drinks were all amazing. Tables seemed to be very close together and people just too tightly packed in, and they would definitely benefit from a bigger location. However everything regarding food, drinks and service was impeccable.

    Every food has been amazing, and it has a very creative menu with fusion cuisines. Great place for first date or anniversaries. The noise level is on higher end, so make sure you are ok with that.

    Our waiter was great! Drinks and food were served friendly and at the right pace. This is my second time here and the drinks and food were good. I would skip the fried chicken and stay with the duck or short ribs. The chicken tasted fine, but the polenta and baked beans didn’t not seem to go with the main dish and they were not very good. We tried the Nutella Creme brûlée and it was just ok. We will go back, especially if the waiter we had is serving us.

    We had an excellent dinner! Split an order of Brussels sprouts with the liquid feta and they were delish. I ordered the Bohemian Raspberry drink that was so delicious and made me wish I wasn’t driving because I definitely would’ve had another! My dinner was the scallops deluxe and it was delicious. The heath bread pudding ended our meal on a sweet note! Great place and wonderful service. I’ve never had anything that wasn’t great! Worth a visit!

    Excellent meal and lunch meeting. Our party enjoyed a fresh chicken soup, the new breakfast bowl, and the falafel bowl. All were delicious. Service was amazing from greeting through departure.
