“I got the kebab fries, they were very tasty and the staff was super friendly. If anything, the prices are a bit high but I guess that’s just inflation and the cost of living. So it’s definitely a cool little spot but almost everything is $20+. But the taste of the food is worth it :)“

“Excellent food and service!“

“We had a neighborhood party last night with about 40 people. In the beginning Ben came expecting about 30 but he found a way to service our party first class with everyone leaving very happy. Ben is thorough, thoughtful and a lot of fun. As you can tell we were extremely pleased with his services and will have him back as soon as possible! His food is “over the top” creative and delicious. You won’t be disappointed if you use him for your next party!

“Meat is good. Wrap is good. The sandwich needs to be served on a real, in-store baked pita bread. And they need to give away their t-shirt if you spend over $20. ;-)“

“excellent service by David, great food and relaxed ambiance“

“Thank so much to the owner of Marketplace Grille for buying me a wonderful dinner tonight at the Carmel location. Showed appreciation for sure towards someone who’s still apart of the essential workforce. Best Gyros outside of New Jersey you will ever find.“

Much love❤️“

“We had a great time at The Bella where we celebrated our advisor's retirement. They were very kind to open on Saturday and cater for our party of 25. And that was on a short notice too.
The place is very nice, gave us the privacy we wanted for our event. The staff is also great, starting with Tamara, the events manager. It was a joy to work with her and she made things easy for us.
If I have to make a suggestion, that would be for the food warmers that were not as effective, but that was really minor.“

“Enjoyed it totally! 2 nd time and will go back again. Love the food and the menu“

“If you want high quality delicious food at a bargain, come on in and get some skewers! The meat is so tender and juicy and spiced perfectly. I come regularly with my dog and they remember my order. Great food. Great people. Always happy to visit Marketplace “

“Delicious flavors in the family-size meal, which was impressively presented. Service was efficient and polite. Thank you, will come again!“

“Great traditional Greek food. Loved the Gyros and homemade Tzatziki Sauce. Friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this new Greek restaurant.“

“We visited this restaurant for the beautiful terrace, and it absolutely delivered—spacious, charming, and perfect for a relaxing evening. The atmosphere was lively but not too loud, making it a great spot to unwind. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout the night, which really added to the overall experience.

The starters were a pleasant surprise—flavorful and well-prepared, with the Brussels sprouts standing out as a real highlight. Unfortunately, the mains didn’t quite live up to the setting. Both the filet mignon and the chicken were overcooked, which was disappointing given the quality we expected.

Overall, a great place for drinks, light bites, and a beautiful terrace evening—but if you’re going for the main courses, you might want to manage your expectations.“

“aaron was really nice and was quick with creating our bowls while training jason. overall a really nice experience and the food was amazing as always

Kid-friendliness: was very nice and they were very patient when helping my little brother“

“I can’t believe how many angry people are occupying space in this society!
It’s like asking a child who is only a few months old, why can’t you feed, bath, change your owner diaper, etc.

This is a brand new location for this business with new employees and new policies and procedures.
It’s going to take a little while for everything to run smoothly.

Notice, no one has anything negative to say about the food. Surprise, surprise!

Stay patient, support your local community.
Be polite, stay patient, be humble, and above all…be human.“

“Flavorful food served fast! Definitely coming back here :)“
