I had a terrible experience at this place. We booked a table to watch a Brazil football match and were told we’d have to come earlier because Portugal was also playing on the same day (fair enough). We arrived on time, ate, drank, spend quite a bit (we were a large ish group of friends) only to be told that there was going to be no sound on the match we came to watch! Mind you, the whole bar at this point wanted to watch the match and were chanting for the sound to come on. We spoke to various people (including the owner!) who were rude, unhelpful and unprofessional. Owner said no tables could be reserved so he clearly doesn’t know what his own staff are doing. They threw us on a side bit where fish are treated during the day market. It stinks, it’s cold, the sound system is horrible because it echoes. There’s no table service which is stupid of them because lots of people were drinking and now they don’t want to miss the match to get a drink. Apart from that, food that we had earlier was very ordinary, fries were cold. They try to be like the Timeout Market but are FAR FROM IT. To be fair: place is not expensive (but I live in an expensive city, so hey), waitress service was good...

We absolutely loved this food hall. It has a farmer's market also, that unfortunately wasn't open

In this food hall, you had everything from Asian food, Mexican, Portuguese, etc. the had several bars and a stage which they use for singing and stand up comedy. Again, when we went it wasn't happening. They offer 2 for 1 drinks Thursday through Saturday for after work hours. Again, it wasn't the same time we went.

So, the possibilities here are abound.

I had seafood and it was great. The salad I had with my salmon was great, the veggies not so much.

The grilled pepper and shrimp was really good. My husband had the Asian food and his soup was way too salty.

My son had the spaghetti bolognese and he liked it, but I tried and not so much. He liked it, so whatever.

We had a sangria that was sooooo good. I am obsessed with the sangria's here.

The inside seating was rather hot so we went outside and it was nicer, but we felt the music was rather loud. Maybe because there wasn't too many people if felt loud. Regardless, we will definitely be back!!

Hope to make it to one of their...
