    Great food and service. I like the vibe of this place. You’re getting a high quality product but it’s unpretentious. Go if you like good food without the fuss!

    We were a group of eight and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. The only disappointment was that the Benton's Bacon Old Fashioned was not available, as five people wanted to get this cocktail. The Market Place is a great dining establishment and consistently performs at a high level.

    The winter menu is short but very well executed. Onion soup and cauliflower appetizers were hot and tasty. Entrees, lamb shank with grits, excellent! Burger was in my opinion too lean. The mushroom pasta had nice flavor although, the mushrooms were less than exotic. All in all a great night out!

    The Marketplace was a wonderful dining experience!! We have lived in Asheville for 1-1/2 years and this is now our favorite restaurant. The delicious food, friendly staff and world class chef make this one of the best places to eat in Asheville! The chef came out to meet us after our meal and we really appreciated him taking time to meet us. Overall we give this place our highest recommendation for dining in Asheville❤️

    Market Place is nice for an easy dinner. But not sure how it’s showing up as a top contender for Asheville. The menu options are limited and the service is ok. Our server was a bit odd and didn’t seem to be interested in serving us. He acted like he preferred bigger tables and guest that spend a lot more. The chef did a great job and food was cooked perfectly. Background music selection was a bit odd and out of place for the setting. Overall it was ok. But definitely not a place to repeat. Just our opinion.
