While the unusual wait time for a table under our reservation was way too long, the food NEVER disappoints! Continues to be my favorite restaurant right now! The new Farmer Ian's Tomato dish is amazing - the layers of flavor make this a new "best dish I've ever had at The food Market" for sure! The crab cakes, pork chop and burgers were a hit, along with the new Thanksgiving Cupcake. This restaurant is a must!

We had only been to food marketa but had high hopes for food market too! We brought out of town friends and shared apps and small plates — everything was so delicious and our server was great! We loved that it was cute and busy but quiet enough to have normal conversation at our table.

While menu items were unique the food arrived cold despite there being few folk in the place. Even noticed a difference in the potatoes we were served vice the one at the adjacent table. Key is mass prep does not have to mean bad prep. The little things are important. This good visit could and should have been a great visit. This place truly possess the potential.

Good variety of brunch food, but unexceptional. Service was friendly but not good about refilling coffee or checking in. Lively, cheerful atmosphere but it is noisy so a little difficult for conversations.
