    My husband and I sat at the bar and Jen took amazing care of us. She is always so friendly, knowledgeable of the wine and food menu and attentive. Enjoyed the tomato basil soup special and shared the wedge salad (love that the kitchen splits it into 2 servings for us). We both chose to break with our usual dishes and have pasta. I enjoyed the Quattro fromagee ravioli and my husband had the Gemelli pasta with sausage. Both delish!

    We had reservations before the snow storm! We love Michael Anthony’s! We have eaten in main restaurant, tried the sip and taste at bar, have ordered catering, take out, and Cooking classes. lol. Dinner at the market may be my favorite. We arrived early, manager was amazing. Sat us at the bar while we were waiting for our table. We then sat at our table. Cozy , amazing dinner. Service was excellent! Food was amazing!

    We came for lunch with differing appetites and The Cafe worked for all of us - from a salad with chicken to a full plate of creamy pasta everyone was treated to delicious food that matched their needs. The wait staff was excellent - professional but personable. We loved everything so much, we ended up taking home lasagna to go!

    Very close quarters. Too crowded & noisy. Our table was jammed next to a very bright refrigerated case.
