| - Went here this weekend with the girlfriend. Best choice on eats I've made in awhile!
First off, the location itself. There is a patio facing east. If you get there at the right time, you can enjoy a beautiful evening with your awesome food. The inside is very cozy with a great, open floor plan. You can see all of the friendly staff preparing your meal behind glass near the front. I wasn't sure what to order so the manager, Ben, gave me a few of his recommendations. After an awesome conversation, I decided on the Turkey BLT (Grilled carved turkey, smoked paprika mayo, applewood bacon, oven roasted tomatoes with romaine on sourdough) with a Citrus Basil Salad (Spring mix, citrus wedges, cucumber, fennel, caramelized walnuts with citrus basi vinaigrette).
I watched them preparing a salad while I placed my order. The girl behind the counter had just finished grilling a delicious piece of tri-tip steak. She chopped it up and paced atop the salad. I know what I'll be getting with my meal next time I'm here. Looked delicious!
The food came and the line began to grow. I arrived at the perfect time to beat the lunch rush. My stomach was growling and it was on! The sandwich looked like something out of a photo shoot. Everything about it looked perfect. The right portions of grilled turkey breast, crisp, green romaine that hung perfectly out the edges of the bread. Speaking of the bread, it was incredibly fresh and flavorful. One bite and I knew I was in love. The girlfriend and I were blown away by the quality of the turkey breast. It was grilled perfectly and had the perfect consistency. The greens gave a great, refreshing taste to accent the turkey. The smoked paprika mayo danced on my tongue and was the perfect amount. The bacon was crisp and neither too thick nor too thin. It added the perfect amount of smokiness to chase the flavor of the sandwich.
My girlfriend loved the salad. I had several bites and will agree with many before me that have said Market Bistro has the freshest most flavorful greens around. I felt exponentially healthier just looking at the beauty of it. The caramelized walnuts added the perfect counter sweetness to the citrus of the dressing and fruits.
Do I recommend Market Bistro? Absolutely! If you enjoy Paradise Bakery you will fall in love with Market Bistro. It's the equivalent of Paradise perfected. Kudo's to my new favorite salad and sandwich place.
Also worth mentioning is their awesome selection of music (they have their own station on Pandora!). You'll feel like kicking your feet up on the couch near the front and relaxing after your stomach is full!
