We sat at the bar for Thanksgiving and the service was friendly, quick and efficient. The main course (plant-based veggie loaf for we vegetarians) was fantastic as were the sides. Highly recommend.

Everything was great. Waiter great. However I had your famous pot pie. Waiter should provide a large spoon. But my issue was way too much rosemary in the pot pie. Doesn’t need any. I only ate a few bites

Everything that my folks said it would be just that, the food was delicious the drinks was to perfection the service was excellent. The vibe was everything and the DJ was rocking.

Great food and gracious service at the food market! Generous portions are a bonus. Loved the crab soup with a little crab cake and the beet salad was fantastic.
