marketplace grill

hidden treasure. restaurant off "main drag" but worth finding. two of us both ordered ribeye steak dinners. came withsaladand baked potato. thesaladcame immediately and was cold and crisp with a little bit of everything on/in it. shortly behind the salad, came the ribeye (medium rare) and baked potato with salt on outside. we both ordered the steak and at first cut the steak needed to go back to the grill for about 1 more minute. the waitress waited while we cut the steak and promptly returned the steak to the kitchen with apologies. the manager returned the steaks, again waiting to make sure we were happy, this time returning with new potatoes. the ribeye steak was outstanding, melt in your mouth! potato was perfect.
atmosphere was open, but not so loud you could not enjoy the personal conversation with your table.
highly recommend and will look for more in other locations.

has been restaurant. used to love marketplace but went last night for a "date night" with the husband and came out very disappointed. we ordered the prime rib and it was like we were eating ham! dried out, no flavor, horrible. we paid $20 per plate and it was horrible. we wondered why not many cars in the parking lot when the rest of nwa has wait lines of 30-60 minutes. we now know why. just after we were seated my husband kept having sticky stuff around his spot of the table. half way through dinner we discovered there was bbq sauce all over the tablecloth. on the sides hanging down and now it was all over his jeans. the salads were good but waiting a little while for them then our food came about 5 seconds later (we had just put oursaladdressing on our salad.) the more the prime rib sat there it was drying out. the meat was like it had been microwaved and the top was really drying out. poured the au jus on the steak and it made no difference. my husband who loves steak only could choke down 1/4 of it. we also requested horseradish and it was watered down and not much taste at all. we had a gift card and was looking for a great dinner but will never return for a nice dinner again. also the bathrooms were dirtier than a truck stop. definitely not the same marketplace that was "the place to eat" just a few years ago. oh, one more thing, the scoop for the tortilla chips that the wait staff uses had fallen on the floor and it was just hung back up. no one washed it off or cleaned it. the manager was standing right there and never said a word! it will be a very long time before i can even go back there for lunch! worst experience ever!!!!!

i usually don't write reviews but i was very disappointed in my choice to eat here. our waitress was not friendly, my husband'ssaladcame with the stalk in it, my brocolli was dry and cold and there was a gnat in my fruit. quality control needs to become their focus!

predictable. everything on the menu is edible. the service isn't bad, but it's not somewhere i prefer to eat when given an option. they serve american food, carb-heavy entrees that are never very spicy. marketplace reminds me of ruby tuesday's without thesaladbar.
