Market Grille — Restaurant in Manchester

It pains me to write this review but maybe the management will read and address the issues. My company scheduled our Christmas party with Market Grille this past weekend. We made a reservation for 10 people, well in advance, giving MG ample time to set up an appropriate space for a company Christmas party. First, they sat us at a table that wasn't designed for 10 people, but we made it work. It took more than 30 minutes to be asked if we wanted apps. The apps came 30 minutes after we ordered them. So, an hour after being seated we were served our apps. I've never seen a Calamari app have so few pieces of Calamari. We ordered several of these and there was not enough "rings" on each plate to make it around the table once???? At this point we are hungry, we've been in there for 2 hours and have not ordered our meals. Moments after the apps were delivered we did expressed how unhappy we were about the service, no changes were made. They sat us in the middle of the most crowded part of the restaurant, in an undersized booth all while there were numerous, large unoccupied tables in much quieter parts of the restaurant. They had plenty of notice. They knew the nature of our visit and had plenty of time to prepare a more accommodating table and a waitstaff that could handle a party of 10. I have had many great meals here. I suggested the MG for our party. We will be going back to our usual venue. MG isn't interested in accommodating company gatherings. Very...

We were there last night It was my birthday. I put on the reservation it was a birthday celebration. My birthday was never acknowledged, not even after we told them it was my birthday! The first waiter we had complained to us about how tired he was and commented rudely about 1 person in our party arriving later, like it was inconvenient because he had worked a double shift even though she was just having a drink, and there were only four of us in our party. The waitress we had, after that waiter was apparently over serving us was good. But again no acknowledgement of my birthday. And we felt rushed because our reservation was for 7 and they closed at 9. They didn't even offer us desert, not until it was obvious we were already leaving. Plus I think she heard me complain about not being asked if we wanted dessert. By that point we had decided to go have dessert and continue the celebration at BJ'S Brew House. What a difference in the attitude of their waitresses. It was a younger woman and her grandmother. Wish I had gotten their names. Not only did we have dessert but they made sure I had candles to blow out to celebrate my birthday! It was so relaxing and made the night so much better! I have to say I was terribly disappointed with the service at Market Grille. I had been there twice before and it was such a great experience. The food was excellent but I barely enjoyed my meal because the complaining waiter set the mood for...

Market Grille has been my go-to for over a decade—and with good reason. Their year-round outdoor patio is everything. Heated in the winter, panoramic views in the summer—it’s the kind of spot that makes every season feel like patio season.

The food? Consistently delicious—like a hug from your favorite home-cooked meal. I’m obsessed with the Superfood Harvest Salad with grilled salmon (it hits every time), but their weekly specials and seasonal themes keep the menu feeling fresh and exciting. You’ll never get bored here—only full and happy.

I recently hosted a sunset & salsa-themed client appreciation cocktail party on their outdoor patio—and they nailed it. Kate and Marcus handled the reservation process like seasoned pros. And our servers, Leanna and Maureen? Absolute rockstars. Attentive, warm, and totally on point all night long.

From the plentiful appetizers to the drinks that magically refilled themselves, our guests were impressed. They even made space for our salsa dance demo and mini lessons—yep, we danced under the stars and still had room to mix, mingle, and make memories.

The best part? Market Grille has heart. Their team sticks around, remembers your name, and makes you feel like a VIP every time you walk through the door. It’s not just a restaurant—it’s a local gem with soul.

Highly recommend—whether you’re planning a celebration or just need your superfood salad fix, this place delivers. Every. Single....
