The Food Market - Hampden

“Delicious food & drinks! They greeted our table stuff yummy popcorn and a menu full of things that sounded great! I highly recommend the short ribs! They have a Wheelchair Accessible entrance & valet parking. We loved our dinner at a The Food Market!”

“Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. The food, the drinks, the presentation, everything was on point. I ordered the 12 oz American Wagyu New York strip, which was the most expensive item on the menu, and it was worth every dollar. Perfectly cooked, rich, tender, and full of flavor. You can genuinely taste the quality of the Wagyu. It was served hot on cast iron and seasoned beautifully without overpowering the meat. Ashley ordered the roasted beef short rib, and it was fall apart tender. Deep flavor, slow cooked to perfection, and incredibly satisfying. One of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. The sides were just as impressive. The fries were crisp and well seasoned, the lobster mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and loaded with lobster, and the onion rings were light and crunchy without being greasy. For drinks, I had the Bearista Spiked Latte, which was smooth, balanced, and creative. Not too sweet, not too strong, just done right. The cocktail menu overall is very well thought out. Presentation was upscale and intentional, the atmosphere was perfect for a date night or special occasion, and the service really tied everything together. Joe was a great server. Attentive, professional, and made the experience even better without hovering. If you are looking for high quality steak, excellent cocktails, and an overall elevated dining experience, this place delivers. I will absolutely be back.”

“The Food Market never disappoints. The staff is always friendly, accommodating, and genuinely welcoming from the moment you walk in. The food truly never misses. Brunch, lunch, dinner, and happy hour all offer standout options that are both delicious and creative. They also have a full cocktail menu along with great non-alcoholic options, which I really appreciate. An all-around solid spot that delivers every single time.”

“I came across The Food Market via an Instagram recommendation and I'm not disappointed. The Pat La Frieda burger is 🔥 and their in-house sauce (a cross between BBQ and horseradish - don't knock until you try it) was so addictive that I forgot I had ketchup as an option. Note, if noise is an issue for anyone in your party I'm not sure I would recommend because between large groups and the music it's certainly above intimate decibel but you won't have to shout.”

“We enjoyed our meal at The Food Market. Parking is a challenge so give yourself some extra time to find a spot or park in a lot. Parking was $15 for 2 hours. We arrived at the restaurant and we were seated right away. Our server greeted us with a smile and was very happy and energetic. They start you off with a small bowl of popcorn that tasted like it was seasoned with some type of pesto/ranch seasoning. It was fine. The environment is quite loud and a little cramped, but we expected that in this location. It’s def tough holding a conversation and we found ourselves yelling a bit. It was quite busy and at times it was tough find our sever bc she was running around. They give you small glasses for water. Suggest leaving a bottle on the table so we can refill. I needed water frequently with all the delicious food we ordered. The food was very good. I ordered the big ol’ mozzarella sticks and they were excellent. My wife ordered the lobster cargot….that was just ok…not worth the $20. She also ordered 2 glasses of wine which were $12 each. Our meals were pretty good. My wife ordered the small crab cake meal. She said it was the perfect portion size. It came with lobster mac n cheese and asparagus. I ordered the scallops and risotto. My meal was good, not bland but not WOW either. For dessert we ordered the heath bar crunch bread pudding and the chocolate mousse wontons. The bread pudding was amazing! The wontons were underwhelming and a little too sweet for us, especially at the end of this big meal. We did enjoy the food. The service was above average. The environment was too loud and the parking was meh. We would go back and try it again now that we know a bit more about the place. Dinner for 2 including tip and parking was over $200.”
