Market Broiler was a "random" restaurant that I picked to meet friends. The waitstaff was wonderful. The bread that was offered was yummy! We ordered the following: 1) The seafood pasta dish with scallops, calamari, mussels, and shrimp. Very tasty! 2) The sea bass with asparagus and cheese potatoes - a winner! 3) Wedge salad with the bacon wrapped prawns. (The salad, very good and prawns were good- but not as tasty as we have had in other restaurants.). All in all the dinner was enjoyable and delicious. Thank you.

My wife and I are frequent customers for MB. Usually are meals on point with our selections. Unfortunately tonight our meals did not align with past visits. My wife ordered the pan seared halibut and I ordered the filet mignon. Both of our meals were not cooked at all. Which is not a major mistake. Issues come up from time to time.... I feel going out to be far more costly then in the past... Due to that people are willing to pay for the increase in the cost. I feel the restaurant should be raising the level of customer service for their customers. Server and Manager apologized. Which was a nice concession to the issue. The head chef came out and validated the meals were cooked to perfection. Which was a nice touch on his behalf. I feel since both meals were extremely undercooked one of the meals should have been comped. At the very minimum the drinks should have been comped. We had a glass of wine and soda. Manager did offer a dessert. Which I feel is a basic offering. Just to be fair this was one moment. So it's not going to deter us from going back. Only issue is MB raising their level of customer service. Food is 9/10 on par with delivering a quality meal. Stop by I'm sure you will be happy with your choice.

I had been hearing that this place has good Bloody Mary's so I stopped by for some drinks and appetizers. I had a clam chowder which was delicious, half a dozen oysters which were good and two drinks. The bloody was top notch, one of the best bloody Marys I have had in a long time. The other drink was a pineapple mezcal drink which was okay. Nothing special. The waiter on the other hand was friendly and so helpful. I appreciated the service. I will be back to try some of the main dishes. I spent around $70 for two drinks, soup and half a dozen oysters.

Tonight’s meal turned out to be sooo much better than I had feared. I travel a lot and often the restaurants do not live up to expectations. But tonight everything I had was delicious and service was great. I had fried Mahi mahi tacos and local beet salad and a smoked cedar old fashioned. I also had a butter cake for desert. It was all (except the cake) off of the happy hour menu. I ended up packing 1/2 of it all away for lunch tomorrow - score!! I’d ask for the dressing on the side for the beet salad and forgo the cake the next time- but it’s telling that I am already planning my return trip. Katelynne was a super waitress. I didn’t mind that I had to pay with a debit card to avoid a service charge because they bring the payment device (whatever you call those) to you to make the payment rather than taking your card into the back room to run it through (I hate that!) Ambiance is Ok- cute for a casual diner but a bit loud and not private for a romantic dinner.

Haven't been here in awhile and the food never disappoints. Service was just OK - especially with so few people in the place but was OK. I wish there was music or something like that in there.

Market broiler is a great restaurant and they seem to want to create A friendly environment for you and your family to enter in. The bussers in my opinion work insanely hard, and I really wish the other staff were nicer to them. They deserve every bit of respect that every other staff member gets so next time you visit, let them know you appreciate them! On another note, the steak is simply amazing, everything was very clean and pretty much ready to go. Will be coming here again as long as they continue to treat their staff right, everyone makes mistakes, so please allow some extended grace.

Made reservations for 6pm on a Friday night. Arrived and were greater promptly and within a few minutes were escorted to a booth. Service was excellent as was the food. The reason I gave it a lower score was due to the noise level created by the other customers! The volume of their voices got higher and higher as they talked over each other. I'm hearing impaired and wear hearing aids. I turned the volume down to their lowest setting and still could not escape the vocal uproar. Now, I know the restaurant staff cannot control this issue. I just wanted to warn potential diners that should they wish to enjoy a nice peaceful meal with minimal noise interference, they may not find it at Market Broiler. Again, great food, fantastic service, just rude customers.

I ordered the monday special: shrimp skewer with salmon and 2 sides. The shrimp and salmon were seasoned to prefection. And, paired perfect with cheesey potatoes and chef vegetables. I Recommend if you are craving a quality dinner with good service.
