Just the right spot for a cold and rainy evening in St Helena! The food was amazing as usual. Highly recommend the jalapeño corn bread as a side with anything. Salads and the prawn linguini were great. The warm apple cranberry crisp with vanilla gelato was Devine. Service at Market is always so warm and friendly. They make you feel right at home.

Love this place! Great food, great service, lovely location. We go here for special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, etc) and would go more often but a) it's expensive, and b) it's an hour plus drive for us. Still, we always look forward to going back.
