Food: Oceanic divinity in ordinariness

The premier dish at Market Broiler - Fisherman's Stew with Pasta elicits praise for its fresh, quality seafood portions, though creativity may lack a bit of seasoning spice. The Coconut Shrimp and Atlantic Salmon hold their own with flavor, crispiness, moist tenderness tripping along the edge of being average. With a diverse menu selection, discrepant views on value for money over the otherwise large-portioned 'bland' dishes swing to neutrality.

  • Great Variety

    Diverse, extensive menu selections suitable for all preferences.

  • Okay Taste

    Some found food tasty, others deemed it forgettable or just average.

Vibe: Comfort amidst dated charm

The ambiance at Market Broiler is comfortably old-school, despite dated decor, tinkering on the verge of closure. Not a romantic night out contender, the restaurant salvages its vibe with an impressive array of exquisite hand-crafted cocktails and an extensive wine selection. The lack of buzz comes off as a bit of a mildew in the overall atmosphere.

  • Great Drinks

    Exquisite hand crafted cocktails and extensive wine selection highly praised.

  • Okay Ambiance

    Some reviews noted dated decor but found the atmosphere comfortable overall.

  • Bad For Dates

    Though pricey, ordinary ambiance doesn't justify cost for a special date.

Perks: Ample parking, mixed service

Park easily around Market Broiler, a perk mentioned frequently by customers. However, despite catering to dietary restrictions and kid-friendly menus, service experiences oscillate between efficient attention and sluggishness. Don't bank on Yelp for reservations as that led to chaos. The outdoor setting is not ideal, nothing more than a parking lot dining setup, and noise disruptions hounded by a disruptive large party.

  • Easy To Park

    Ample parking frequently mentioned, enhancing overall customer satisfaction.

  • Okay Service

    Service experiences vary, with both good attentiveness and occasional slowness.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Reservations via Yelp not received by restaurant, causing issues.
