I have only been to Market once and I think I'm in love .
I loved everything about the decor and vibe of Market. I loved that the front entrance has local handcrafted chocolates and sauces for sale. I loved the way the restaurant was divided into a white and a black side. The contrast was modern and created a day and night feel. I loved the bathroom and the way they used chalk paint on the stalls so people could leave messages in chalk. I loved the cozy patio, which was quaint and had fresh tomato plants growing along the divider. The walls provided just enough privacy for diners to enjoy their meal but still be able to feel like they are part of the 17th Ave social scene.
We had dinner on a Wednesday night with my niece on the patio. I mention my niece because despite the fact that Market doesn't have high chairs they still did their best to make our experience kid friendly. The special that day was $2 oysters all day so we ordered some and they were tasty. They came with a house horseradish, vinaigrette and hot sauce. Aside from oysters, we ordered the popcorn, halibut, duck, gnocchi and pork chops. Everything was amazing and my niece especially loved the gnocchi.
Like I said at the beginning, this was my first time at Market and I loved it. I would definitely choose Market as one of my new go to places for a dinner, a date or for summer night patio drinks with friends.
P.s the handmade chocolates were also delicious. We got a assorted half dozen to go and they did not disappoint.
