Market Tavern

Market Tavern was able to accommodate our large party after a mistake at their neighboring restaurant, Papapavlo's. We called less than 30 minutes prior to be seated immediately in their private room on a busy Saturday night. The service was excellent. Our server was very attentive and polite. Our food was served in a timely manner and everyone enjoyed their meal. The staff was also able to keep our birthday cake in the kitchen until we were finished with our dinner. They kindly took it back after we sang happy birthday and served it to us, plated. I got the braised short ribs with polenta and it was delicious. Other dishes such as the chicken parm and autumn lasagna were hits as well. They also have an interesting mock tail menu that everyone should try. I will definitely come back.

Amazing service and the food definitely lived up to the photos on Yelp! The atmosphere is a little darker just a heads up and the music isn't too loud. If you're looking for something more reserved yet social this is your spot. The bar is first come first serve. So if you don't want to wait for the dining area just ask. We waited no more than 5 minutes for our table for as busy as it was. My friend and I started off with the Short Rib Taquitos and they were definitely a great way to start off our meal. The chipotle aioli and the tender short ribs really makes this starter come together. I went ahead and ordered the Chicken Parmesan and substituted the marinara for pesto only. I definitely recommend because I cleared my plate. I'm pretty sure I did the happy dance with every bite. My friend ordered the Skirt Steak ( medium well ) with the two sides it came with, the garlic mash and cauliflower. She really enjoyed it and said it was worth every bite. She even got lucky enough to order a scoop of salted caramel gelato to go.Samantha was our server and was very patient and attentive. Overall, highly recommend and looking forward to coming back. Thank you Market Tavern for the great food and service!

I had friends come in from out of town Saturday. I really wanted to show them "my Stockton".Everyone enjoyed our dinner so much. So delicious! Wait staff was on point.A special Thank You to you!

Their food was amazing! The service was superb! The ambiance is fantastic! I enjoyed their decor and the vibe. I will most definitely be returning to try more food and drink items.Plenty of parking!

4/5 for Stockton, 3/5 overall. Nice spot in Stockton for a date night, but nothing too special. We ordered the Khachapuri (not on the menu!), Skirt Steak (came with grilled broccoli, roasted garlic mash, herbed butter), Rigatoni and Sausage (came with mushrooms, broccoli, tomato cream), and the Pumpkin Tiramisu for dessert.The Khachapuri was FABULOUS, and tasted extremely authentic. Khachapuri is a traditional Georgian dish of cheese-filled bread with a runny egg in the middle. The dough was very chewy and soft in the best way, the cheese was so rich and the egg was very runny. This was delicious and I would come back just to get this. Highly recommend.I ordered the Skirt Steak medium, however it came out medium well. There was also a hair that was on the steak, which I didn't notice until AFTER the photo was taken and my date noticed it for me.. I didn't want to bother asking the staff to remake it but it was a let down that they overcooked the steak and also left a hair on it. The flavor however was very tasty and the roasted garlic mash was delicious. Even the grilled cauliflower was good.My date ordered the Rigatoni and Sausage and I would say please pass on this. It tasted like something you could definitely make at home with jarred pasta sauce. It was very tart, did not have enough cream and needed more black pepper. There also wasn't enough sausage.For dessert, the server recommeded the Pumpkin Tiramisu since it was a seasonal item. This was very dry, and only had one layer of lady fingers. The pumpkin flavor was good but it just wasn't as moist as more authentic tiramisu I have had.Overall, 3/5, but since we're in Stockton I'm giving it a 4/5. The service was good and the ambiance was nice, however the menu is very limited and I just wasn't very impressed.

Sadly there aren't many good restaurants to try in Stockton but as someone who grew up in the area I appreciate what Market Tavern has brought to Lincoln Center. It offers a good diversity of food options on its menu. Seating is usually available without reservations and overall it's a good ambiance. Plus is that they also have a market to the side where you can grab food to go.

The beginning of our night was horrible with the hostess being extremely rude. However it got better when we were lucky enough to have Hayden as our waiter. He was very attentive, polite, and made up for the rudeness we experienced. We only came for a drink and we had 2... the espresso martinis were amazing!!! We will be back!

This is my second time taking my daughter here and it was good I didn't order a lot just the Caesar salad with chicken which was good, some Pinot Grigio and my daughter ordered the kids burger and fries and she enjoyed it. We also ordered the deviled eggs but I did not like them at all and I didn't know you can go wrong off deviled eggs. Anyway I love the ambiance but our waitress could have been better, her customer service was lacking, I guess she didn't feel like working this day, however, the hostess was a gem my daughter complimented her bracelet and when we were leaving she gave it to her! She was so sweet from the moment we walked in! I want to come back to try different items before I write this place off.

I've been a patron of Market Tavern since its' opening date. We enjoy going to the bar and sipping something from their well. We rarely visit the bar because it got so popular that we couldn't find a seat. The Tavern needs to expand. The food is excellent, but when we first visited, my wife found something in her plate. The bar manager came over to us and exchanged the plate immediately. She fired the waitress on the spot. It was a shaky experience to say the least. The food was excellent which kept us returning to eat at the Tavern. Now, I recommend making a reservation because if you drop in, you will not be seated immediately. You'll wait a 1/2 hour or more. Maybe one day I'll drop in.

Great experience! Our waiter was very friendly and helpful with choosing food and drinks! This was our first time having dinner here with family. We did not reserve but it wasn't too bad for a Thursday evening! Our lovely waiter recommended the Taquitos for appetizer. It comes w/ 3 so we had 2 orders of those. My mom had ordered the Rigatoni (small) because it comes in two sizes and the small was already a lot for one person! I love the ambiance and the vibe. My family & I had a great experience!
