Review Market Table Restaurant New York

Upon my return from Europe, it was necessary to catch up with all my friends and colleagues. What a great excuse for grabbing lunch. I met up at Market Table on Carmine Street to chat with Chef Jennifer Cole to about her new role at The Fat Goose in Brooklyn. I had eaten here on various ocassions and knew we’d have a great lunch. I was not disappointed.

We started off with a glass of white wine (about $10 per glass) and we decided to share a few appetizers. First came out the fried east coast oysters ($15). While I am normally an oyster purist; I must say these bites were delectable. They were properly fried. This was not a mess of oil and breading. These were elegantly fried oysters that stayed true to their nature. They came on a bed of cabbage slaw and the most delicious cayenne-tomato butter. We did find a shell in one of the oysters; but this did not deter us in our eating.

Next came the beef carpaccio ($13). The beef itself was lovely. It was super thin, fresh, and flavorful. The surprise: it was topped with french fries. Crunchy, deliciously irresistible fries.

Our last “appetizer” was the warm octopus salad ($15). The octopus was tender with none of that unpleasant chewyness. It was accompanied by sliced fingerling potatoes cooked to the right consistency.

Chef Mike Price and partner, Joey Campanaro created a comfortable space with almost flawless dishes. It makes for an haute-casual experience anyone can enjoy.

Highly Recommended.
