Johnny Mesa
Incredible restaurant for a special dinner. The dishes are very sophisticated, complex, gorgeous, and delicious. Every dish is intentional and I enjoyed all the expertise the chef displayed in flavors, presentation, etc. They have an extensive wine and champagne list. I had the braised short rib, butternut squash soup, lamb, and Hamachi. The Hamachi was my favorite by far. Super fresh, balanced, and delightful. Highly recommend this place for special dinners of any occasion. Service is excellent as well. They make dinner an experience for the night.

The food was Extraordinary, the service excellent, and the updated decor beautiful. Truly a peak dining experience. Everyone from the hostess to the valet,to the manager made us feel as though they were glad we were there.

Most delicious courses here. We had a party of 6. Reservations definitely reccomend, very accommodating service. Our waiter Max was a truly beautiful experience in itself. We had the braised beef melted like butter, I had the Cod, just heavenly so decadent. The plates are just gorgeous

One time I got a good look inside the kitchen. This is one of the cleanest and best run kitchens I’ve seen in a very long time. Perfection seems to be the standard.

I’ve been here multiple times. Carl Schroeder is an absolute master of his craft. In my opinion, take it or leave it, the reason why the Michelin Star has eluded him is the ambience and bar. The best way to describe the ambience is like you’re on a discount cruise liner. It feels like an outdated country club dining room. The cocktails at the bar are sub par to okay. But my goodness can this man cook! Every meal I’ve eaten has been better than the last. Regardless of the “issues” I stated above this continues to be the staple restaurant my wife and I patron for date night. If you’re looking for 3 star food at an affordable price you MUST try MARKET.

Was food good? Yes. However our friends complained that it was a little over salty, I also tasted their food and they were right. For a restaurant at this level, the level of salt should not even questionable. Service was good but could have been better, for example no one asked whether it was a special day for us, there were some options that are not in the menu, but we did not know their pricing until we see the bill. When we got the bill, bill was not easy to understand. We only ordered 4 tasting menu and 3 wine glasses however the bill has all the items we ate, some had pricing but some showed “$0”.

This is, quite literally, one of the best dinner meals I’ve ever had. Presentation, flavors, balance, service, everything… perfection. Shocked there isn’t a Michelin star on this chef… highly deserving. Love that it’s in my neighborhood, regretting that I have not been a regular.

The food at this upscale restaurant includes a 3-course meal and is excellent. The chef is known for his short ribs and gorgonzola souffle, and both will not disappoint. Valet parking only here.

Market is always such a fantastic experience from start to finish. Each menu item is absolutely delicious and presented beautifully from the first fantastic cocktail to the final salted carmel morsel. The service is consistently impeccable and the atmosphere is romantic and intimate. My husband will always order the Gorgonzola soufflé, and I enjoy the many other fresh options that the chef features in the first course. The mains are consistently high quality proteins beautifully paired with seasonal vegetables, fruits and delicious sauces. The desserts are perfect – elegant and not too sweet. We love celebrating our most special occasions here year after year!
