We had the puffed taco and pizza, along with the hummus. All tasted great! Hard to find, but well worth the effort.

Thank you for opening up on a Monday night and allowing us to have our meeting at your restaurant. We were expecting a little food and a little dip to nosh on and got a feast fit for kings.The dips were grand the flatbreads to die for. We loved that the "monkey" served us like we were big shots...The Market... More

We had a slice of quiche and a bison burger. The bison burger was dry and flavorless and the quiche was room temp. We will not be back!
