MARKET Seattle

Meh. It was okay. Certainly nothing to write home about. Food was 6.6/10. Ambiance/environment/atmosphere was 9/10. service was 5/10. Wayyy too pricy. I wouldn't come out of my way to come back here, but it was fine.

My fiance and I were spending the day downtown for a weekend out, and we wanted to get a lobster roll to share. We saw that MARKET was selling some, so we dropped in to try it out.For a full lobster roll with a side of fries, the total was around $34. We took our number and sat down at one of the many tables in the dining area. After 5 minutes or so, the staff brought over our dish. The size of the lobster roll seemed to be on par with other rolls we've tried in the area. Taking a bite of the roll, our mouths were on an adventure. The tang of the lemon went great with the buttery-ness of the lobster. I appreciated the amount of lobster meat they put into the roll. The crunchy bread itself was a good compliment to the soft lobster, giving the roll more texture profile. I will say, I was a bit disappointed with the fries, as they were quite bland. They weren't salted that well either. I suggest that they put more seasoning to the fries and also pair it with a better sauce, as ketchup was making me wish for more.

Why 5 stars? Because this was my favorite meal of my trip. --- --- ---The restaurant I wanted to go to for dinner only had reservations available that were later than we were willing to wait, so we looked for alternatives. This ended up being a blessing in disguise, as my friend and I both agreed that this was the best meal of our two days in Seattle.I ordered a Connecticut lobster roll and a clam chowder bowl to maximize the Seattleness of my meal.The lobster roll was amazing. When I die, please stuff like 30 of these in my casket. 5-stars.The clam chowder was enjoyable, but got even better as it went on. 4.5-stars.And then we finished with a root beer float, which is hard to mess up. 4-stars.My friend ordered a salad with lobster, lobster bisque and a burger and loved all of it. The people were super friendly here as well. It was an interesting set up, in that, it was kind of as if it was designed by a higher end IKEA. It was nice, modern and sleek, but we also didn't feel out of place coming dressed from a football game.

Wanted something quick during my lunch break and decided to stop here. The place was very modern and had plenty of tables open. The ordering process was also quick and simple as you order directly with the cashier and are given a number that you can place on the table for them to serve you.We decided to order the Hot Connecticut Lobster roll and Chowder Fries. I really liked how they were able to accommodate us by splitting the roll and fries in half. The lobster roll was really good. The lobster tasted really fresh and went really well with the toasted buns. The chowder fries were essentially fries with clam chowder on top. The fries were really crispy and the chowder was so creamy.Definitely recommend stopping by if you want a nice meal during your lunch break!

I was told the clam chowder here was even better than the famous pike's, and it did not disappoint! As a native of the south, I was happy to find a place in Seattle that seasoned their food. Happy hour with $10 half rolls is unbelievable! Rolls have so much meat. I was surprised that you stand in line and order from a counter. Friendly staff and food was fast.

Ambiance: Good amount of indoor seating, very spacious! The decor is nice, kind of like an art gallery!Service: The cashiers were super nice, willing to explain/describe the difference between a half roll and full roll. Apparently the full roll isn't actually double the half roll in length, but the meat is double the half roll!! I'm giving 4 stars due to the guy on the floor. A couple had finished eating their meal and were leaving, so I asked if I could grab a chair from their table (we had 5 people and there was only a table with 4 chairs). They were super nice and told us to go for it! The employee on the floor gave my friends and I a nasty glare, rolled his eyes at us, and shook his head. I guess he wasn't happy about us taking the chair, but definitely didn't communicate it with us. It was a bit awkward having him give us disappointed stares as we ate...Food: My boyfriend and I ordered the hot crab roll (half) and hot lobster roll (half). Both came with fries, ketchup and a lemon slice! Both were packed with meat and very tasty! I will say that the lobster had more flavor than the crab one, so it was the heavier one. The crab roll was lighter and provided a more refreshing taste! We were very full, but would love to try more dishes from here in the future!

This place has super fresh lobster and have a great happy hour Sunday-Friday 2 to 6 pm. I would recommend getting the $10 half lobster roll and drink on happy hour because that's an insane deal. I tried out a few other happy hour items and this is what I thought.Crispy Crab Rangoon Burrito - I enjoyed this but it totally came be a bit much. If you like crab Rangoon this is just a larger version of them. (4/5)Lobster Bisque - I thought this was really solid. Flavors were good and fresh, you won't go wrong. (4.5/5)Watermelon Salad - Surprisingly refreshing. Simple and good. (4/5)Chowder Fries - This was a bit salty and really heavy for my liking. The salty part was kinda what killed it for me, not that it was bad but it's a bit much. Flavors were overall tasty though. (3.5/5)Popcorn Lobster - Crispy fried seafood. I thought it was tasty. (4/5)Lobster roll - It's a fresh buttery (5/5).I only tried happy hour so can only go based on that but I really enjoyed the experience and food. You order in the front and are given a number get your food delivered after. Would be back next Seattle trip.

This place deserves lines out the door! Best clam chowder I've had in Seattle. It is super flavors, chunky, and rich in flavor. I found this place walking towards pike place and seemed nice and a small place. We ordered the clam chowder and I got the Bloody Mary with half a lobster roll. I got my roll warm and omg again one of the best rolls I've ever had. The bread nice and toasty, the drink was amazingly good! If you go during their happy hour you can add half a roll to any drink for just $10. The servers are great, very friendly. The restaurant manager was so attentive and when something in our order didn't get added correctly he was so prompt to fix it. I honestly feel this place will soon be discovered by more people. I get so many go to pike place because I mean you have to. But you have to stop by this place.

We came in for a late lunch around 2pm and the cashier was nice. (Not super friendly and warm but, not cold).This place is a order then sit down restaurant. They have lots of seating and the interior is modern. There's also a bar in the back.We ordered the Hot PNW Crab Roll, Cold Maine Lobster Roll, and Lobster Bisque and it came out to be around $100. A little pricey but it is seafood.Here's our thoughts on each item:- Hot PNW Crab Roll (4/5): this was a good sandwich, my boyfriend and I just believed it need more sauce or an aioli because it was a little dry. It has good flavor over all and the bread was delicious. - Cold Maine Lobster Roll (5/5): loved this! It was our favorite. The lobster wasn't mushy and it had the perfect amount of sauce. The flavor and texture was 10/10.- Lobster Bisque (3/5): this was a little underwhelming. The soup just lacked flavor and maybe it's different because this bisque had a lot of chunks of garlic? Onions? I think it would've been better if they were creamed together because every bite was different. With bread and the lobster inside, the soup was good, but the soup itself wasn't anything special. Overall, it was a great experience and we'd definitely come back again but only for the lobster roll!

The lobster roll was delicious so was the breakfast sandwich with avocado. Food came up fast and hot!The seating area was very clean and modern.
