| - Oh, Market Grille. I've liked this place for a while, but a few things about the setup make it weird. As you enter, there's a nicely decorated dining room right in front of you, but huge menus to the left and a cashier. Sometimes a person will immediately ask to seat you for standard dine-in service where you pay at the end. Other times, I've gone all the way through the line, paid, then seated myself.
The temperature in here is always either too hot or abnormally cold. Last time was the latter. Caught a funky smell near the drink machines one day too, which kinda threw me.
The good part is the food. Slightly above average mediterranean with decent bang for the buck. Nice daily specials, too. I'm a fan of the chicken kotanini and pumpkin cheesecake, but opted for the chicken skewer this time. Very filling with the salad, veggies, rice, hummus, and pita.
If these guys can fine-tune the dining room experience and put a little more "umph" behind their "OPA!", they might be winning.
