The food was okay overall. The French onion soup was delightful and easily the highlight of the meal. The steak was a great cut and cooked well; however, the salt level was overwhelming—borderline salt lick territory. The Alfredo was similarly far too salty. The grilled salad was a complete disaster, while the Caesar was just okay. On the bright side, the service was excellent and attentive.

The food is fantastic, the price for the quality is there for sure. The drinks are just as good as the food. The steak was cooked perfectly, melted in the mouth. I also tried the oyster shooter appetizer, it could have used a smokey flavor mixed in besides the Sriracha in my opinion, but it wasn’t bad. Great flavor options here and I will come back to try more in the future.

The food here is some of the best I have ever had, and that is saying something. It is one of only 2 places I have ever seen carpachio on the menu, and the steak was amazing. That being said, it is an excellent example of “you get what you pay for”. My only actual criticism is that they need to make the entrance easier to find after sundown- the name of the place is on the door, but the lighting is such that you can’t really see it after dark. Considering this is a dinner kind of place that is an issue.

Pleasantly Surprised Double WOW. We were greeted by two smiling faces to show us to our table. Then the most amazing, friendly, knowledgeable waiter walked us through the incredible menus and ASSURED US that we would hands down be eating the most delicious food in Redding. He was right!
We were given all the menus which included cocktails , beer, seasonal menus alongside the daily offering menu. There is no way anyone can come in, and not find a dish they love.
From Duck, Steak, Seafood, Poultry right down to specialty soups and salads. My meal consisted of the chicken artichoke and Brie crostini as my appetizer along with a smoked apple butter old fashioned (Yummy) . It was Amazing. Then I had a beautiful salad which I might say they have multiple dressings which I appreciate.
I had a lemon vinaigrette and poppy seed with blue cheese crumbles over my salad. I had ordered the pork chop which was served with caramelized onions and seared with apple butter on the top of the pork chop. Under was a plentiful potato cake and let me tell you………. it was absolutely delicious melt in my mouth Sensational. The chef did an amazing job. We finished off our meal with a New York cheesecake made in house with a raspberry puree that was also made in house. Let me tell you “it was so delicious I’m still thinking about the meal today”.
Another thing I appreciated is the restaurant was well staffed. They were A WELL OILED MACHINE that worked perfectly in Sync. The owner was gracious, friendly and checking on his customers and showed deep appreciation for his staff. So important these days to work with an interested and present owner. I was close to the kitchen and “The Chef was precise and efficient with his time”. He did not allow his creations to sit idle in waiting. I loved my experience and this restaurant FAR SURPASSED MY EXPECTATIONS.
For the record, I do not know anyone from this establishment. I however am a hardworking individual who is tired of paying good money for mediocre food and I finally found a gem !

Was extremely disappointed. Finally got a date night with my wife after 3+years of getting to go out just her and I and was not to happy. Arrived to restaurant only one other couple in the whole place. Ordered an appetizer and was brought the complete wrong dish. We did not say anything just ate what was brought. Not impressed some chicken on top of small slices of toast coved in what seemed to be a Alfredo sauce. Then we each ordered steaks. My wife’s medium well and mine medium. Took over an hour and was told they messed up and had to start over. Then when we got our meals my wife’s steak was still bloody and definitely not medium well and mine was WELL done no pink. Not to mention my wife’s broccoli was cooked to a crisp and my mashed potato’s were room temperature. Also. each steak had about a 3/4 cup of cold butter on top of them. We swapped steaks just so my wife would eat it. Then ordered a crème brûlée and it was in a dish not much bigger golf ball size around. Two small bites each. Then realized I had to pay $200.00 for this experience. Not one to leave bad reviews but we were extremely unsatisfied with this restaurant especially after not being able to go on a date just her and I in so long and this is what we got.

Market Street Blade & Barrel provides a fantastic dining experience. The service is truly outstanding– attentive and professional. The food is a genuine culinary treat. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared making it easy to find a new favorite on each visit.Their Happy Hour (seven days a week) is another standout– affordable, generous, and a great way to sample some of their best dishes. This gem of a restaurant will not disappoint you!

We made a Valentine’s Day reservation a month in advance but were seated at a tiny two-person table right next to the busy bathroom and told we had only 1 hour and 15 minutes to dine. Surrounded by spacious booths, we felt stuck at the worst table in the restaurant, constantly brushed by people heading to the restroom. When we raised the issue, management was unapologetic and suggested we should have reserved a booth. We ended up leaving, making it one of the most disappointing Valentine’s experiences we’ve had.
