    The food was great. The service was good. It was very busy but they were attentive and friendly. My only complaint was how loud it was in there.

    Great food and really good service. I had the fried pickles and shakshuka. My friend and I had the latest reservation for a late lunch and ordered multiple courses. At 3:20, we paid our bill, as our server explained he'd be moving over to the bar before they "reopen" at 4. Because we were still eating and drinking, he told us we could stay and relax, and there was no need to leave. Well, his co-workers didn't get the message, because they blatantly started screeching and banging the tables and chairs right next to us. Very bratty, since it wasn't like we were just talking. When we finished, we moved to the bar and ordered more drinks and SEVERAL meals to go. In other words, a lot of money was spent. Ray was a great server/bartender and clearly understands hospitality. Some of his coworkers do not.

    Our waiter Jeff, made the whole experience unique and extra special. We let him guide us through the evening and food and wine selections. It was amazing.

    I have been to The Food Market (both Columbia and Hampden) for dinner on many occasions. This was my first brunch experience (11/23/24). Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in the food. I ordered the Thanksgiving eggs benedict dish - and it was not good. The sweet potato grits were inedible; the taste and the texture were a problem. The coffees/lattes were delicious and our server was very pleasant. I will return to The Food Market in the future - but probably not for brunch.

    Tried the new Thanksgiving cupcake, and the shrimp and grits dinner. Everything was good, could have been more grits and less sauce, but still very tasty.

    Great food and gracious service at the food market! Generous portions are a bonus. Loved the crab soup with a little crab cake and the beet salad was fantastic.
