The Market by Jennifer's was on my hit-list because the items on the menu sounded delicious, especially since they ingredients are sourced locally. While the restaurant is cute and the service was quick, the food was ultimately lacking in flavor.
We started with the burrata. It came out quickly and was plated quite beautifully, so I was excited to dig in. With the wide variety of toppings (including beans?) I was confused why I couldn't taste any of them, aside from the oil.
For my main, I got the chicken piccata. It came out looking fresh and smelled delicious. This dish was more flavorful than the appetizer, but without the gravy to pour over everything, would've been lacking in the flavor department. Chicken was cooked perfectly, with a moist interior. The asparagus was okay, although the ends needed to be trimmed more, as it was quite fibrous. The entire dish could've been improved with something as simple as a touch more salt and pepper.
My fiancé got the yellow fin niçoise. It was filled with fresh ingredients, but again, he said it lacked flavor depth.
Overall, if we were to return to The Market, it would be to enjoy a glass of wine. For the price of the food, we can get meals we thoroughly enjoy somewhere else. If you're into high quality ingredients and blander food, this would be a great spot for you.
In terms of service, our waitress was attentive and sweet. There were only two other tables seated at prime time on a Saturday night, which apparently left the kitchen staff with nothing to do but stare at the diners, which was a bit uncomfortable.
The interior has a cute, intimate feel, and is in the same building as Trevor's. The chairs are definitely cheap and slightly uncomfortable, but play into the overall aesthetic. Sadly, the plastic backs left me with no place to put my purse. It's difficult to enjoy a nice dinner with a bag on the the table top, and I didn't want to put my handbag on the floor.
