    My friends and I call ourselves the dining Divas. We get together once a month at a restaurant we haven’t been too or don’t visit often. Today was awesome. The staff was so kind and helpful. I hope we didn’t burn them out. The food was amazing. Can’t wait to go again to try something else on the yummy menu

    First time, and totally recommend here. We were there on a Saturday evening when there was live music as well. Food was delicious, Best gnocchi I have had - they were so light. We had crab cakes, burrata, salad with fillet and fries and a delicious crème brûlée. Connected with the Market next but a more intimate setting I felt.

    Market has been a long-time favorite of locals, particularly folks from the wineries. The food is consistently excellent. The menu doesn't change much over time, but then, why should it? If you need the latest fad in food, you might be happier somewhere else, but check Market's menu first. There's probably something there you'll love. Staff is always exceptional - friendly and helpful. Our server last night (Kirby) was above excellent. She was friendly, very knowledgeable, and very efficient. And it was interesting to see her interact with other staff - almost a ballet of handing off plates and the other stuff that tends to accumulate on the table. This is not the French Laundry. It's a really comfortable local restaurant with excellent food and terrific service.
