    We stay in downtown Asheville once or twice a year and somehow have never been here. That was a mistake. We had a great meal—thanks.

    We loved the service. Our server was energetic and kind. The ambiance was a bit dark and moody, but the food was fresh. We enjoyed the trout and cheesecake. Overall, it's worth visiting at least once.

    Haven't been to Marketplace in many years. We went back to support our local restaurants during restaurant week. We had an outstanding experience. Our server recommended the cauliflower and the lamb shank. We also had the beet salad and the raspberry dessert. Every course was outstanding. The flavor profiles popped and were subtle and interesting. The lamb shank was the best I have ever eaten in my life and I don't even eat meat! We will definitely be going back to Marketplace and are delighted that we gave it another try! Highly recommended!

    Great food and service. I like the vibe of this place. You’re getting a high quality product but it’s unpretentious. Go if you like good food without the fuss!
