The French toast was great and not too sweet. The whipped butter that accompanied the corn bread was divine. We started with the corn bread and French toasts as starters to our brunch. There was 5 of us seated in the back area. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. Our server, Jojo was quick, charismatic and efficient Major Reaction - Google reviewĬame here on a Sunday afternoon in January for brunch. I will definitely be back to try a few different menu items and maybe one of the signature cocktails they offer. We had the deviled eggs as an appetizer and no one seemed to enjoy them, it had a strong mustard and horseradish taste, but the bacon and jalapeño was a nice touch. The chicken was crispy and tender the whole way through with no fat or inedible parts. I had the Chicken Parmesan and it was really good it was served with a side of pesto pasta that was very unique in flavor and texture definitely not your typical spaghetti or fettuccine that is typically paired with the dish. Food was really good, but for the price and atmosphere we expected a little more patience from our servers and a little better quality of service than say an Olive Garden. She must have become frustrated because she ended up sending another waitress over to take over our table. As soon as she brought the drinks she asked again for our order and my wife had to remind her that we were not quite ready to order the entrees yet. I could tell my Grandma was getting irritated so I told the waitress that we wouldn't be ready to order until after we had our drinks. Our waitress was very nice but we felt rushed as she came back multiple times attempting to take our order when we hadn't received our drinks yet.

We went out with my grandparents-in-law and they like to order drinks and appetizers and relax for a bit before ordering the entrees. I have been wanting to try Market Tavern for awhile and finally got around to dining there. I guess this is the only Chinese restaurant in Stockton?īottom line is go somewhere else and don’t waste your time with this place unless you just like to look at Chinese artwork. I have no idea how they have won area awards. I have eaten at a ton of Chinese restaurants all over and this one is way down towards the bottom for taste and texture. Probably because they are forced to eat here for their meal breaks. However, they did not seem happy and never smiled. One thing that was good was the staff seemed busy and were normally available. No hint of garlic or ginger in any of the dishes and mall food court Chinese restaurants seemed like a five star cuisine compared to this bland and tasteless food. Both were ample portions of food (good) and both combos were bland and without any type of Chinese food taste (bad). My wife ordered the choose your own combo of Garlic fried chicken and paper wrapped chicken with pork fried rice and I ordered the Sichuan chicken with pork fried rice. Plus the restaurant doesn’t even offer hot chili oil and vinegar for them! Those are both Chinese staples and should be on every table! We started out with an order of potstickers. We were sat quickly and the overal exterior and interior of the restaurant is very nice and modern. Wake up call! After all of the goods things I hear on social media about this place, my wife and I finally decided to try it.
