| - As recent transplants to the desert, my boyfriend and I have been...well, largely disappointed with most of the restaurants we have tried so far in the area. We would get excited about a place we found, and then...meh. That is, until we found Liberty Market.
Although I'm not the biggest fan of the "order at the counter, then find your table" model, Liberty has it organized really well. Our first time, the line was really long and I thought it was going to be a huge wait. It turns out that there is a hostess type who reserves a table for you while you are in line, and then by the time you order your food your table is ready. The line moves fairly quickly too.
They have a nice sized menu - big enough that you have a nice selection, but small enough to not be ridiculous or overwhelming. And as a former Portlandian, can I say how happy I am that they serve Stumptown Coffee? The pot of French Press gives me warm fuzzies. All of the food we have had there has been excellent. I really love the biscuits.
The atmosphere is sort of cafeteria-like, but not in a bad way. I love that it is in an old market and has some character - soooo tired of everything being in a strip mall. The little area of downtown Gilbert that it is located in is adorable.
Oh, and the service is great. Despite not having a dedicated server, there are always people walking by who are checking on you, and ready to bring you something and take away empty plates. Everyone who works there has been really nice.
Thank you Liberty Market, for giving me some hope that I can find sustenance in the desert!
