We came here for date night & it was incredible from start to finish. I had “the side piece” to drink and it was so damn good. We started with the mozzarella sticks and cheesesteak buns. Both were delicious. For main dishes we had the seafood sandwich and street tacos. Again, amazing. We also loved the truffle popcorn they give each table upon seating. We ended the night with the banana pudding & were once again blown away. If you’re looking for a nice place for a more upscale dining experience, but not too fancy, this is the place.

This restaurant is so nice for lots of different occasions. Even for no occasion! The atmosphere is nice. It’s loud and gets busy quickly but that can be a good thing. Servers and bartenders were very attentive and kind. Food options were different and very very good!! I definitely recommend this place whether that’s for happy hour, a quick bite, or a date!

We went to The Food Market in Columbia for a birthday dinner, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere strikes a great balance, sophisticated without being stuffy, and the service was warm and attentive from start to finish.

We ordered a bunch of small plates to share, but a few dishes really stood out. The mussels with bacon, leeks, and cream were incredible, especially with that perfectly grilled bread to soak up every bit of the sauce. The cream of crab soup was rich and flavorful, and the charred octopus had a slight bitterness that actually added to its depth and uniqueness.

It’s one of those places where every dish feels thoughtfully crafted. Great food, great vibe, and a perfect spot for a special occasion.

Came here for dinner with a group of six. Overall, I was really impressed with the food. The lacking side of it was the service. I think part of it was just them being understaffed, but the weight was kind of absurd. In my opinion we got the French onion rings as an appetizer. French onion soup with crispy onion rings inside was probably the highlight of the whole meal. My girlfriend got the chicken kebab salad. It was similar to a Greek style salad. She really enjoyed. I got the pickle Bryan fried chicken. Fried chicken was top-notch, super crunchy and crispy. The liquid cornbread was interesting and not my favorite. Overall, it was a good meal on. I’d recommend you checking it out for yourself.

I go here all the time. My friend recommended this place to me, and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and just overall amazing. The bartenders Zoe & Jose are truly the stars. They consistently make the best drinks, and you can tell they genuinely care about what they do.

The food is just as amazing. My favorites so far are the Wagyu meatloaf patty melt, the mozzarella sticks, and the triple-cooked wings — all absolutely delicious.

Great atmosphere, great people, great drinks, and great food. This place is a gem!

The food was delicious! Came out hot and fast. The drinks were spot on!! The two bartenders they had on tonight were excellent! Top tier bartenders!!! I’ve traveled all over and been to a lot of restaurants from Michelin star to mom and pop and these drinks were top tier!!! Highly recommended trying! I had the espresso martini and Bohemian raspberry martini! Both very good!

The food market restaurant embodies the vibrant spirit of modern American dining. The attentive and friendly staff adds to the overall pleasant experience. While the two-seater tables may be a bit small, the ones in the back offer a convenient ledge to place my purse.

On a busy Thursday night, I visited with a friend, it’s advisable to make reservations in advance.

We began our culinary journey with the delectable salt and pepper tuna, accompanied by the vibrant beets by Chad and the crispy Brussels sprouts. The tuna was cooked to perfection, while the salad was equally refreshing. The Brussels sprouts, though slightly spicy, offered a delightful taste.

To complement our meal, I savored the Bohemian Raspberry cocktail, which was simply delightful.

For my main course, I indulged in the pan-seared chicken, an absolute culinary delight. My friend opted for the Pat Lafrieda burger, and he thoroughly enjoyed it.

To end our meal on a sweet note, we couldn’t resist the temptation of the S’mores pie and the decadent Heath Bar bread pudding, which we took home as a delightful treat.

This meal at one of my favorite local spots was an absolute pleasure. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a delightful and enjoyable dining experience.

Great service and nice menu. There was something there for everyone in our group, even myself who is quite hard to please food wise. We celebrated my father-love’s 84th birthday and it was perfect. They even left a special message for dad, what a nice touch. You won’t go wrong here i am sure of it. Kudos Food Market.

Have been to the Food Market several times and it is always an enjoyable experience. The food is quite tasty and filling, and the service is always top notch. I would recommend this place for brunch or dinner, as we have come for both meals and it was great anytime of day.

Overall, this was a five star experience. The waiter I had was super friendly. The Big Ole Mozzarella sticks were so good. The breading was very light and tasty. The shaved parmesan and sage took it up a notch. I typically like my mozzarella less creamy and a little more firm, but maybe I have been wrong all along. I would have to try it leaving all the other stuff the same to know. The tomato dipping sauce was great too. The pork tacos were good. Maybe a 4, but hard to say cause I ate a lot of mozzarella sticks right before. I thought the popcorn with parmesan to start was nice as well.
