Friends and I went and enjoyed a wonderful brunch here on Saturday. I was early for our noon reservation but they seated me right away while I waited for the group. The waitress brought out some donut holes to enjoy while we talked and caught up. We ordered the shrimp and grits which my friend loved. The Army breakfast which another friend enjoyed, the lazy French toast which our friend loved but couldn’t finish and I had the Gnocchi hash which was excellent and I took home leftovers. It’s a little noisy when it’s busy but we were able to enjoy our conversation. Service was great as our waitress checked on us multiple times during the meal refreshing waters and coffees. I love coming to the Food Market!

Our first time was great! The wait staff, food, and drinks were all amazing. Tables seemed to be very close together and people just too tightly packed in, and they would definitely benefit from a bigger location. However everything regarding food, drinks and service was impeccable.

2/15/25 Birthday Celebration 4pm Party of 4 The restaurant was nicely decorated, clean, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Our waiter - Jeffrey was on top of everything that was needed for our table. He even gave us suggestions as to what to try. The food came out very quickly and was absolutely delicious. We even enjoyed a Birthday Serenade from Jeffrey!!

Every food has been amazing, and it has a very creative menu with fusion cuisines. Great place for first date or anniversaries. The noise level is on higher end, so make sure you are ok with that.

Our waiter was great! Drinks and food were served friendly and at the right pace. This is my second time here and the drinks and food were good. I would skip the fried chicken and stay with the duck or short ribs. The chicken tasted fine, but the polenta and baked beans didn’t not seem to go with the main dish and they were not very good. We tried the Nutella Creme brûlée and it was just ok. We will go back, especially if the waiter we had is serving us.
