Market Grille: Reviews & Ratings
Sat on the bar side to enjoy the games. The food was really delicious. The Mahi pasta was well seasoned and flavorful. The Shrimp cocktail was also very good. The host and waitress were very friendly.
Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, and delicious food. We ate and enjoyed a cocktail at the bar with Alan and Kenny. Both were exceptionally professional and friendly. All in all, great at their job! We ordered the Classic Fish & Chips and Eggplant Parmesan. The Fish & Chips was perfectly cooked. No grease, flaked fish, and the fries were also cooked to perfection! The Eggplant Parmesan was flavored well with the perfect amount of sauce. For me, too much cheese but that’s just my opinion, you may think it’s perfect. Drinks were also refreshingly great! Highly recommend!
Went to the Market Grille for a date night, the experience was amazing thanks to Eric he is a man of his word!!! Our waiter she was amazing as else. But the best part of our night was the Philly cheese steak egg rolls they are to die for!!!! We would definitely go again and recommend!
Market Grille has been my go-to for over a decade—and with good reason. Their year-round outdoor patio is everything. Heated in the winter, panoramic views in the summer—it’s the kind of spot that makes every season feel like patio season. The food? Consistently delicious—like a hug from your favorite home-cooked meal. I’m obsessed with the Superfood Harvest Salad with grilled salmon (it hits every time), but their weekly specials and seasonal themes keep the menu feeling fresh and exciting. You’ll never get bored here—only full and happy. I recently hosted a sunset & salsa-themed client appreciation cocktail party on their outdoor patio—and they nailed it. Kate and Marcus handled the reservation process like seasoned pros. And our servers, Leanna and Maureen? Absolute rockstars. Attentive, warm, and totally on point all night long. From the plentiful appetizers to the drinks that magically refilled themselves, our guests were impressed. They even made space for our salsa dance demo and mini lessons—yep, we danced under the stars and still had room to mix, mingle, and make memories. The best part? Market Grille has heart. Their team sticks around, remembers your name, and makes you feel like a VIP every time you walk through the door. It’s not just a restaurant—it’s a local gem with soul. Highly recommend—whether you’re planning a celebration or just need your superfood salad fix, this place delivers. Every. Single. Time. —Elaine
My manager took my co-workers and I to dinner here. I never of this place before but I'm glad I have now. The interior and exterior are very charming. It's relaxing, welcoming and depending on your situation romantic. The staff were very welcoming, friendly, polite, accommodating and professional. We were welcomed with smiles and were constantly checked on from beginning to end. Our server shared a few laughs with us, brought our appetizers and main courses out in great time. I, myself ordered the Prime Rib medium with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. Normally when I order this anywhere else it's a very thin cut of beef and not worth the price. Over here it's very different. The beef was a thick cut and cooked exactly how I wanted it. It was tender, juicy and easy to cut through. I don't remember the other orders but my co-workers and manger were exceptionally happy with their orders. Overall it was an absolutely wonderful experience and I look forward to dining here again.
We have been in the area since 2013 and have just tried this place. I don't know how exactly we kept passing this place without going in and after our first meal there, I am wondering what other dishes they may have had prior to this version of the menu and how good some of those choices would be. We had the arancini to start - they call them Risotto Fritters and they are served with a a very rich and delicious parmesan cream sauce. You have got to try these. We both had the clam chowder and the fish and chips. The Clam Chowder was amazing! The seasoning elevates this beyond the typical chowder by infusing it with more than just the everyday standard clam chowder profile. The fish and chips were perfect. Served with a side of fries and of course the staples condiment for this specific dish - the tartar sauce. Now, the fish was flaky and cooked perfectly. When splashed with a little bit of the house-made tartar sauce, it's just perfect. The coleslaw was a nice surprise with a sweetness that isn't overpowering and nothing like many coleslaws I have had before. The service was great - the server and the food runner were so very nice and attentive. My only regret eating here - is why the heck haven't I been here before!
I should say that this restaurant is a gem. I love that they are attentive to their customers. Their happy hour is amazing and we always go back. Their food is fabulous.
Found this gem on a recommendation. They have a great prix fixe lunch and it was fabulous. Every single bite. Service was awesome. Our server Leanna was fantastic, honest food recommendations and an amazing attitude. I only took the one picture of the harvest bowl but wow was it good. And I don't like stuff like this. I was sincerely impressed.
