We checked out the Market Cafe on a GroupOn but would definitely go back again. The atmosphere is basic, simple diner but with much hipper staff and food! The tiger shrimp w polenta was DELicious and had a lovely kick to the saucy sauce. Unfortunately after wine, appetizer and entree we didn't have room for dessert BUT the dessert menu... More

Decor is chilly and kind of cheerless; however, our waiter added a splash of color with his purple-tufted mohawk "do" and pointed purple fingernails. I orderered Steak Frites (grilled skirt steak, pesto butter, market spiced fries). The steak was spongy, not cooked as requested (well done, not medium rare) and really REALLY salty ... and the "market spiced fries" were... More

We called in here on the off chance, we hadnt reasearched it at all. The place did smell a little a strange but it wasnt urine as some other posts have stated. The staff were friendly and attentive as in most places around nyc. We ordered and our 1st course arrived pretty quick but we waited a long time for... More

The wait staff was very nice and quick. The restaurant smelled like urine very strong. The food was good but the overwhelming smell of urine made it almost impossible to eat. Would not give this place a second chance. Very expensive for average food.

We bought a groupon for $29 and it was good for unto $73 worth of food here. That's really the only reason we ate here but we loved it! We would have been satisfied with it even if we did pay full price. The service was amazing very friendly staff. They had the cute little dinner decorated for Christmas! Crab... More

I rarely give 5 stars in reviews, but I'm doing it in this case because my husband and I totally enjoyed our dinner at Market Cafe Saturday after a performance at the nearby Baryshnikov Arts Center. This was also a few days after Hurricane Sandy and all the devastation to NYC and NJ, and we were not even sure there... More

The gluten free options were delicious! I enjoyed the burger and pasta. Variety on the gluten free menu was great as well. The waitor was knowledgable on the menu and was friendly and welcoming. I returned with my family twice for dinner during my stay in New York. It is a great place for a pre-theatre meal.

I have been here many times over the years with my husband and friends too. Always good food and service. Dunno what was wrong this time. They were doing a huge take out order so we waited a very long time for the starter. The mains were quicker. When we had finished the plates were snatched away. I have thought... More

We visited here on 26th July, our first eating place on our New York visit. It was a nostalgic visit as we did the same 6 years ago. The food was very nice, good portions, and the sercice was polite and with a smile. The weather was hot so the front doors were slid open and the atmosphere inside was... More
