Matt's in the Market

Nicky Yu a month ago

The restaurant was a bit hard to find even with Google Maps, hidden on the 2nd floor in the building. But once you find the stairway the sign is well placed to point you to the right place. I had the fish sandwich (the day of the fish was halibut) with an unexpected large salad as a side with generous portion of blue cheese. My friend said her seafood chowder was excellent, but the friend who ordered the rice bowl with the beef short ribs said it was so-so. The egg was hard boile but it would have made the rice dish more palatable if the egg was fried. The big windows in the restaurant offered nice views to the water. It's a pleasant place to dine.

This was the best meal I’ve had in a long time. The seafood was so fresh, right out of the water, and the chef’s presentation was glorious. Just wow! I’ve already started recommending this place.

The menu here is very eclectic. ATMOSPHERE: As soon as you walk in it feels like you're in someone's apartment. Old, quaint, dim accent lighting, open air, cinder block walls & varnished wood ceilings with huge windows with a great view of the Public Market. The kitchen is in open view. FOOD: Burrata Mozzarella pieces with a balsamic fig sauce, fresh figs, rhubarb and toasted bread. This was really good. Nice app to sweeten your palette. Grilled Octopus Damn this was good! A couple of legs with kimchee & arugula. Yummy! Charcuterie The selection changes daily. We got steak tartar, rabbit patte, raw scallops with tobiko, and chicken liver mousse. Everything was delish! Raw phoebes beware! Half Roasted Chicken Crispy & tender chicken over mashed potatoes, with wild mushrooms, pearl onions and sprouts on the side. I almost never order chicken in restaurants because its so boring and common, but our server recommended this and it was delish! He might've changed my discriminative mind! Kurobuta Pork Tenderloin Super tender pre-cut chunks of pork with a smooth salty flavor, over a bed of mashed potatoes, greens, ham hock, and 2 pieces of chicharone. SERVICE: We had reservations for 9:30 pm. The place was still pretty busy. The host greeted us within a minute. Our server was very attentive and professional. Our drinks never got below half before they were refilled. Excellent without being overdone. OVERALL: Excellent food and service. A great alternative if you've had enough seafood.

The whole experience is quintessentially Seattle. Expect delicious seafood, excellent service, and a view right above Pike Place Market. Watching the sunset over the water beneath the buzz and glow of the iconic neon sign is an absolute bucket list dining experience. If you love seafood you can’t go wrong with the seafood stew. It’s absolutely loaded - salmon, clams, scallops. Yum!

Had a lovely time, great drinks, stellar service from Sam W. The oysters, beef tar tar, and pork were INCREDIBLE. My friends had the octopus and said the depth of flavor was spot on, they raved and raved about it! Sadly, I could only give 4 stars for the food because the halibut I had was overdone and therefore dry, even with the delicious gazpacho it was served with. Over cooked white fish is always a let down, but I would highly recommend and will definitely be back!
