120 West Market Fresh Grill

Last Saturday my boyfriend, my best friend, and I all went to this place because we had a <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> coupon.  That may have been the reason we chose the place but we were pretty satisfied.

We arrived around 6:45 and there wasn't a soul in the place.  Yup, just about the entire time we three were the only people around.  One couple came and went while we were there and another threesome sat for a quick drink and left.  This worried us a little bit but as soon as the crusty (in the best way) seedy bread came out with whipped butter, we were just fine.  I wanted four more pieces of that hearty bread.  It was great.

Probably the star of the entire night, for me at least, were the gravy fries.  They were only $4 on happy hour special but damn, amazing, delish were they!  Thick cut fries with pot roast, gravy, and cheese?  Yes, please.  I swear I would go back just for these alone.

The entrees were alright, not stellar, but decent.  I had the mahi mahi sandwich and it was a bit unweildy.  The sucker was a triple decker the height/size of my iPhone.  I cut it in fours at the recommendation of the server and managed to plow my way through it.  It was tasty but, as my boyfriend said, the flavors all kind of melded.  And not in a great way really... You couldn't taste the great pineapple and chili aoili...  They were lost.

Desserts (german chocolate cake and creme brulee) were solid.  The cake was a huge thick slice with great icing and the cappucino creme brulee was a bit looser than I was used to but packed great flavor.

Summary: Go for the gravy/cheese fries (happy hour is from 4:30-7p most nights!) and stay for the dessert...  Maybe just skip the entrees...

P.S. Service is slow but not ungrateful.  We stayed after our meal for another two hours chatting and our water glasses never went empty.  Nice touch.

I had dinner there and thought the food was average.  Just as expected in a hotel bar.  Both my meal and my wife's meal was very mediocre.

Ok, its a hotel restaurant. And the menu is limited. But they do a very good job with the menu they have. Fresh rolls were delivered to the table and they tasted like the ones my grandmother made.

My wife ordered a margarita. It was a good one for a happy hour drink.

My wife had the french onion soup which was thicker than others she had, with more onions. It was rich and its hard to beat  that onion/broth/cheese combo.

She ordered the bbq chicken entree. Chicken was free range. Mashed potatoes tasted homemade. The chicken was tender and the sauce was just right. My spinach gnocchi came with a fresh tomato sauce. The gnocchi were tender, not hard lumps. The sauce was fresh tasting like ones my wife had prepared at home with our late tomatoes. I also had a very good caeser salad.

Good service to boot.
