The French Market and Tavern

My experience was awful to say the least. I came here a year ago, but things are not the same. They say that familiarity breeds contempt; well this place is the poster child for a “good thing” that has become all to familiar with excellence, and after some time, has simply “let go” of itself. Walking up to this once quaint establishment, the awnings now filthy and stained, with the outside decor looking like it’s a vacant building. The service was a complete “plane crash” to put it lightly, and my “out of town” guests commented on this fact because it was so apparent from the moment we walked in. They asked to leave this establishment after the drinks came out! We witnessed the hostess conducting a makeshift cleanup effort, as the dining area clearly had not been cleaned from the day before. We watched them sweep dirt from under the table, and the spray the table top with Clorox aerosol and give it a quick wipe down before my large party was seated.There were huge Flesh flies all over the place. I don’t mean the little house flies, but the huge black ones with identifiable white stripes on them. The place looked nasty. The window filled with the carcasses of dead insects. No insect traps in sight. I could go on, but the gist of my message is to be weary of this place fellow patrons. It is clearly not what it used to be. I think that the kitchen is not up to snuff either. The greeter was seating people, and cooking collards at the same time. I witnessed a large party get up and leave after experiencing the relative unease permeating from the same things that I am explaining. This place was cheerless and atmosphere-less. Even though I took my order to go way before it all came off the cooking top, I was still charged the dine in gratuity and not asked what the problem was. They wanted us gone without complaint. They would rather take the loss of business than deal with our indifference.

We had an amazing dinner here at French Market!!! The atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable and the food was even better. Ms. T made sure everything was just as she would serve her own Family. We really appreciate all she and the French Market team did to make our dinner great. We will be back!!! Thank you Ms. T. Dietary restrictions: My mom is allergic to shellfish and they were very accommodating to her needs. Kid-friendliness: They had a kids menu with several options and the kids enjoyed coloring.
