The Food Market

I loooooove this restaurant! Whenever I have out of town guest I bring them all here. I recently brought my brother in law and sister in law. We order lots of small plates and everything was 10/10!! It's always 10/10 though.

Food selection is quite innovative and VERY GOOD -- big flavor!

We were seated at the table and had to wait 15 minutes before our server came to the table. He told us he would check to see why they didn't notify him he had a table. The server Jeff was fantastic! The food was very good. I had the street tacos and the sweet potato donuts, and my cousin had the lamb chop and Thanksgiving sundae. Very creative with nice flavors.

I love this restaurant, esp for lunch. They use fresh ingredients & the service is always fast & friendly.

Truly one of the only genuine culinary experiences in the Columbia area. Service is great, the food is great, and the wines are killer.

We tried Caesar salad, kale salad, cauliflower, lamb chops, lobster fingers, large crab cake, duck and salmon. I liked the fact that the lamb chops and lobster fingers could be ordered individually which allowed for more variety. Our server Jeff was excellent. He went above and beyond. We had a minor issue with an entree, and that item was comped by half. We'll be back!

We went to The Food Market in Columbia for a birthday dinner, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere strikes a great balance, sophisticated without being stuffy, and the service was warm and attentive from start to finish.

We ordered a bunch of small plates to share, but a few dishes really stood out. The mussels with bacon, leeks, and cream were incredible, especially with that perfectly grilled bread to soak up every bit of the sauce. The cream of crab soup was rich and flavorful, and the charred octopus had a slight bitterness that actually added to its depth and uniqueness.

It’s one of those places where every dish feels thoughtfully crafted. Great food, great vibe, and a perfect spot for a special occasion.
