Beautiful ambiance and fresh, delicious food

by Lisa22

I went on a Friday night with a couple of friends. The space is really beautiful and has a cool live green wall that gives the space a lush, tropical feeling, definitely a bright spot for the neighborhood.

We were greeted right away and recommended some cocktails. I decided on the Berried Treasure although sweeter than I generally drink it was refreshing. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. She told us about their new chef and the Greenmarket Prix Fixe. I have to admit I was a little skeptical about $25 for three courses. I chose the gazpacho, Cavatelli pasta and the Neapolitan for dessert. The gazpacho was really unique with fruit flavors but well balanced with just the right acidity and salt. The pasta had a really fresh texture and a pungent but yummy mushroom sauce. The dessert was well executed but rich for such a large serving. I was surprised how large the portions were. I will be back to try some of the other entrees because I am intrigued by the variety of fresh fish options and the use of local and seasonal ingredients. All in all it was a good experience and I will be returning.

• Pros: fresh, seasonal ingredients and unique flavors

amazing experience

by msica

Great food, very fresh and healthy but still a lot of attention to detail! Was perfect as I'm a vegetarian and my boyfriend a carnivore and we both found dishes we loved. Waitstaff is friendly and hip, great music, and after wards we went downstairs and had a few more drinks and danced. Definitely will be coming back here.

Simply beautiful

by RogerSmith

The food here is marvelous! Beautiful to look at, vibrantly flavored, with local ingredients. The restaurant is now less focused on vegetarian fare, and has a majority of meat containing fare. The restaurant is gorgeous, calming and elegant. And great value for your money

• Pros: great food
