| - My boyfriend and I being the foodies we are, read the reviews about Market and decided we were going to try it. We got there and it looks so nice, it's super cute, that's about the only good thing I have to say about the place. We got there at about 6:30 tonight(Monday), sat at the bar, ordered our drinks...got mine(John daily with titos) literally had maybe half a shot in it..I was paying 5 bucks for an Arnold Palmer...I could have gone to the gas station and got one for $0.99 if that's what I wanted. Since we hadn't been there before we watched to try these pretzel pickle chips, they sounded amazing. When the bartender finally decided to come back to us 10-15 minutes later..forgetting we were there while she was bs'ing with her regulars, we ordered that, a French dip with the chicken paprikash soup and the toasted mkt caprese. Mind you while we're sitting there a family of 5 got sat and got their apps right away...while we waited nearly 20 minutes for some fried pickles that we're practically burnt because they looked like someone just threw them in the fryer and forgot about them. They weren't even busy, the restaurant was not even 1/4 full. Then our food finally comes 35-40 minutes AFTER we ordered. Why did it take so long? My sandwich was literally a grilled cheese and the French dip was already prepared foods(not like you're cooking a steak back there), then the paprikash soup was basically chicken and dumplings..nothing paprikash about it. When it came out there was no spoon with it so we asked for one, I'm assuming it was a manager because he was in a button down shirt not the black like the servers and bartenders, hands my boyfriend a spoon with his hand ALL over the part you eat with. How repulsive is that?!? We are not ones to complain about this with myself being a server and he is in culinary school but everything that happened tonight was so unacceptable. Almost 40 minutes for 2 sandwiches, over cooked pickles, a bartender who only cares about the regulars(fine but check on everyone else more than 3 times the whole visit..filling waters when needed...taking our appetizer away when we're done...not acting like a total weirdo), and do not put your dirty paws all over the utensils you expect your guests to eat with. Needless to say we were extremely disappointed by our experience here.
