Market Place Kitchen & Bar - Newington

We visited for Valentine’s Day, and the food did not meet our expectations. We began with the crispy rice tuna sushi and calamari. Unfortunately, the sushi rice was quite hard, making it difficult to enjoy, although the tuna itself was tasty. The calamari was a bit soggy, likely due to being placed on top of the sauce. I ordered the steak frites, which was satisfactory but didn’t impress me. My partner had a burger and felt it was similar to one from Chili’s. On a positive note, the truffle fries were outstanding, earning a perfect score, and the lava cake we had that evening was delightful. The drinks were also exceptional. Overall, I would recommend trying this place at least once to form your own opinion, or consider stopping by for happy hour.

Came here for lunch. The chairs are kind of awkward, as they are further down than you think. They aren’t that comfortable and they don’t pull up to the table comfortably either. It’s a petty complaint. I know. The ambiance is very nice. I was greeted promptly. Had a glass of the Chalk Hill Chardonnay to go with my fish tacos. It was good. Some bread came out. The bottom crust was not cut through. It was thick. So thick I couldn’t even cut through it or tear it apart. I gave up. Annoyed, grabbed the whole thing with my hand. Had the fish tacos. I thought they were good, not great. They were very drippy. I also thought it was strange to serve them with French fries. It would make more sense to serve them with rice or beans or mango / cilantro lime type of slaw which would balance the dish better. The menu looks very good. I look forward to returning for dinner at some point.

Stopped by Marketplace’s newest restaurant in Newington for date night and really enjoyed it. I had the lobster risotto, which was delicious, and the truffle fries and calamari were the perfect appetizers. My boyfriend really enjoyed his steak and the presentation with the sauce and sides was incredible. The chocolate cake with salted caramel ice cream and espresso martinis were a standout and the perfect conclusion to the meal. The atmosphere is more upscale with dim lighting, making it a great spot for a date night or a special dinner. Cannot wait to come back and try more of their menu.

We recently celebrated my husband's birthday at your establishment, and the culinary experience was exceptional. Our children thoroughly enjoyed their meals, and our server, Jeffrey, demonstrated exemplary service and comprehensive knowledge of the menu. The freshness of the ingredients was evident, and we are certainly planning a return visit. If a 10-star rating were an option, we would undoubtedly award it. Notably, our children, who are typically discerning diners, have expressed a strong desire to revisit.

Loved everything about this place! Was decorated for the holidays, which made it even better. Loved the vibe, they had a DJ for Sunday brunch (it was a little loud but we enjoyed it. If you’re looking for something quiet this might not be the place for you). The bartenders were amazing, so friendly and attentive. Food was unbelievable! We got the banana bread french toast and the chicken and waffles. 10/10

Amazing time with my girls here. The drinks were amazing and they let you make your own requests that’s not on the drink menu. Food was amazing and the atmosphere was amazing. Loved the low lighting and the music was not loud at all, we went on a Saturday. It was packed but made reservations ahead so we got seated right away. Our waiter was amazing and the bread was realllllly good. All in all a 10/10 experience and I will definitely be coming back! I got 2 drinks, an appetizer, main course and dessert and everything was under $100!!

Loved their brunch menu! Everything was delicious right down to the fresh bread on the table. We both loved our omelettes and mimosas. The atmosphere was very welcoming. Our waitress Cecil was super friendly and helped us with menu questions. Would highly recommend trying this place. Already thinking of going back for a girl's night.

We had a great experience here for dinner! We sat at the bar and all of the bartenders were very attentive and nice. We ordered the crispy sushi, sesame wings and the wagu burger- all very good! I also got the espresso martini which was excellent .
