The food was excellent, everything was farm to table and everyone around us was raving about their dishes. The menu is small but everything we had was excellent, including the cauliflower appetizer, the burger with truffle fries, the tagliatelle, and the affogato. A casual environment, and at first it didn’t look to be very crowded because most tables were seated in the back, but truly excellent. Would definitely return next time we’re in Asheville.

Very nice restaurant. Menu was limited and for a Saturday night during the holidays, it was sadly nearly empty, but given what this area has experienced the last few months, it’s understandable. My steak burger and truffle fries were fabulous and our waiter was very attentive. I hope this restaurant can pull though this tough year and see a bright future ahead. #Ashevillestong!!!

Love the Market Place - we had fabulous cocktails, shrimp and grits, tagliatelle, and salads. Wonderful wine to complement. First rate service in a beautiful space. Seven of us enjoyed being at a lovely round table. Always a treat, this was an early Asheville foodie spot that never disappoints!

Had a lovely dinner. It was only their 2nd day being open post-Hurricane and absolutely no glitches. We had the cheese board which was well-curated and featured their outstanding housemade pimento cheese as well as 2 other local cheeses. The shrimp and grits entree was delectable. Our booth by the Christmas tree was cozy. It was a wonderful evening.

The Market Place was an extraordinary experience. Everything was over the top great. So thankful for this fulfilling experience just prior to the evacuation sprint the next day! Our hearts go out to all who have been adversely affected by Helene
