Market Place Kitchen & Bar - Newtown

We we were seated outside . Weather was excellent . Service was excellent. Food was very good.

The food was spectacular and Diane was an amazing waitress!! Never disappointed coming here!!

We had an early dinner and the dining room was very quiet at that time. The servers were very pleasant and service was quick. We were asked if we wanted bread, yes please, and it was fresh and delicious!The kobe burger was very good and the fries arrived hot, crisp and a bit well done as we requested. The chicken and biscuits was also very good. The outdoor dining patio looked very inviting. I will return.

Went for lunch, exceeded expectations.

Two friends and I went into this establishment with my certified service dog. We were “greeted” by a self-important male host with a top-knot whose eyes immediately darted down to my dog (she was not misbehaving and was wearing her vest), and instead of welcoming us, he asked us if we “would like to sit outside”… I asked him if he was posing that question because I had my dog with me, and he replied with some crap about there not being enough tables, which the naked eye could discern to be a falsehood by virtue of the fact that the majority of the tables were vacant. The place was not busy at all. I asked him if there was a space heater outside since it was in the low 60s and it had been sprinkling, and he simply replied that it was broken. Unbelievably flippant and rude, not to mention flagrantly discriminatory. I was embarrassed (mostly on his behalf) so I caved to mobilize out of the situation… and he escorted us outside. He and his topknot tried back-pedaling about 45 minutes later and came outside to tell us that a table had cleared if we wanted to move inside, adding somewhat defensively that he “didn’t want us to think we couldn’t sit inside” which he very, very obviously had. We had an unremarkable dinner outside while my service dog rested under the table (as she is trained to do and as she would have done had we been permitted by smug-top-knot boy to sit inside). My friend gave me a blanket from her car since I was wearing a dress, but we were literally shivering and it was extremely unpleasant and hurtful.

There was also a mouse who appeared to have ingested poison and was trying to die near our table to which we alerted several staff members who literally just kept stepping over him. My friend moved him into the grass on our way out.

Top-knot boy unfortunately needs to be educated that he’s not all that, that he needs a haircut, and that being rude, ignorant, and discriminatory reflect poorly on him and the establishment he's representing. This is the first time I ve been treated this way before ANYWHERE with her, and it was humiliating.

Not a fan. Several thumbs and beans down.

We had our daughter‘s bridal shower at Marketplace in early April. I have been meaning to review them ever since. We could not have been happier! The food was fabulous and the service was beyond excellent! Everyone commented on what a wonderful party it was in every way. Definitely 5 stars!!

Food was great and our server Ashley was awesome. Friendly and professional overall great dining experience.

Met a friend here for lunch, I was coming from Piermont, NY and she was coming from West Hartford, it was a middle spot to stop. My expectations were low since I had never eaten here. It was lovely! Very nice salads and we sat outside which was beautiful. I had the Farmhouse salad and everything was fresh and delicious. I would definitely return if in the area.

Lovely lunch & wonderful service. Interesting drink specials, tasty striped bass special and fabulous desserts.

We really enjoyed the atmosphere, and the service was excellent. The food was good, except for the steak sandwich. Those flavors just didn’t seem to work well together.

The market place restaurants are great. Food always good, service friendly.

Not a great Mother's Day brunch at all. Food was ok, but literal banana bread with half a “brûlée banana” which was an uncooked half banana and some honey is absolutely terrible. The banana bread was not good and overcooked. Service was not good.

Food was really bland!

Not really impressed, food was good nothing really special and high priced.

Service was horrible. First came in bartender was bored and slow and things picked up he wasn’t bored but still way slow!!!!

Won’t be back!

I ordered the mussels as my entrée instead of an app and it was delicious !
The sauce was so delicate and the mussels were perfectly cooked. Some had that sandy grit but overall were delightful! My friend ordered the Kobe Burger and it was very good too!
We came here spontaneously and it was great !
The place was beautifully decorated and Karen, our server, was lovely!
