Great Dining!

by Hojsackm

I am from out of town and this was my 3rd or maybe 4th time at Market Table! With all the restaurants in the City .....I keep coming back. Between Market Table and Little Owl (Little Owl maybe 5 times worth of fabulous dining!) I could careless to go anywhere else.

Spent Thanksgiving in the City and my family and I enjoyed the best Thanksgiving dinner ever! Turkey and gravy to die for, with turkey stuffing stuffed with figs. Brussels sprouts with pears and bacon and a great bottle of wine.

The best of these two restaurants is the consistency in service, food, atmosphere, and price point!

Little Owl has the best Pork Chop and Sliders ever!

No need to wonder where you are going to eat......This is a no brainier! Market Table or Little Owl.

• Pros: It's all good!
• Cons: Have not found anything yet..

Perfect night

by Todd29

I love the corner space and windows. The service was outstanding as was the food. Great spot for a first date, and not to brutal on the wallet.

• Pros: Food and service

Disappointing

by caylowenstein

I think if you're going to sepnd money in this economy there are far better places in which to spend it. Our fish was awful, chicken was okay but very dried out. All 4 of our desserts were disappointing. Nice service, though. Friendly staff.

• Pros: service
• Cons: food was very average, not worth a wait

Great Service - Delicious Food

by EddieR30

I accidentally stumbled across this place one morning for brunch. I was impressed with its charming decor. The service was good as well was the food . I recommend the delicious eggs benedict and the coffee to definitely jump start your day.

• Pros: Delicious Food

Incredible fish

by deltahedge

Went on a Tuesday night, had the market special - a grilled branzino with raisins, sweet onions, kale? and little slices of lemon and garlic. It was so terrifically well done I wanted to lick the plate. Also the monkfish dish was very good, but not a standout. The crabcake appetizer was also excellent. The wine was superb but too pricey. The staff is pretty rude, especially the hostess, but i think i ll be going back just for the food. It is hard to get top-notch fish in this city (that s not lathered in butter and bacon or transmuted into a foam, Bernardin-style). Simple is best with fish, and this chef clearly knows how to do simple very well.

• Pros: Superb seafood dishes
• Cons: Rude staff

by pustunka

Market table pays their attention to detail. Great decor, polite service, excellent food! The lamb shank is divine! Very interesting wine selecion. I am not sure about the concept of the place, but it works out very pleasantly :)

• Pros: great decor, food and service

Mixed Review

by lola175

Well...let me begin by telling you that my boyfriend and I tried to go to market table 3 times before we finally "got in." The first time was on a tuesday night and we had no res (so we left), the second on a sunday night at 10pm and Mikey Price, the chef, was leaning on the display case and said and smirked at the same time, "we stopped serving already." That alone left a bad taste in our mouth, so we continued on to have a nice evening at blue ribbon bar (Im sure they would have liked to have our $350 check). Finally we got in! and on a friday night at 9pm...it was empty! There was no atmosphere, no energy, and the service was pretty much non-existent. Ok...so besides the stale bread we were served....i will report that the entrees were delicious. Lamb shank and monkfish were both cooked perfectly and the hush puppies also very tasty. We were pretty much ignored the whole time we were there, while observing the bartender and hostess giggling in the corner. Our server seemed arrogant and disinterested when she informed us "the bread is pre-cut, so by the end of the night it gets a little tough" what?!! How can you tell a customer that....they should be embarassed.

• Pros: good entrees
• Cons: bad service, stale bread

Delicious food, great ambience and friendly service

by feedmyrolls

Went here last night and had the tasting menu. I must say we were very impressed. We had to wait about ten mins past our reservation for a table but the maitre d was friendly and attentive and made sure we had cocktails while we waited. We were seated at a corner table and the ambience/decor of the place was lovely but dress warmly b/c the window seats are drafty in the winter. The food was amazing. Each course outdid the last. I highly recommend the gnocchi with escarole and short rib. My boyfriend and I agreed that it was the most delicious thing we've eaten in a long time and we know how to eat! All in all, the service was friendly, our water glasses was never empty and the food was honestly incredible! What a great neighborhood spot- we will definitely be headed back soon!

• Pros: Amazing food, great ambience/decor and friendly service
• Cons: Drafty by the windows- wished I had a scarf!
