We came here on a Sunday evening for happy hour. The happy hour was great! We ordered some food off the HH menu and some food from the regular menu. Everything was exceptional. The pastas were especially good.

I booked a table at this lively, casual foodie eatery for my husband's 64th birthday. The restaurant could not have been more conscientious -- they called to confirm, they called to let me know the flowers I had ordered for my husband weren't there yet, and they were lovely about the fact that I got there a half hour late for our reservation. They also gave my husband a pretty wonderful birthday gift of fresh (and delicious) homemade pasta, and per his request refrained from singing happy birthday to him. The hostess gave me a genuine and appreciated hug on the way out, too. See, they are lovely. I DO recommend reservations, at this and every other Ethan Stowell restaurant. On the Monday night we were there, every other seat was taken. In terms of service and food, everything was top notch. We were dazzled from the amuse-bouche forward. We ate the charred brussels sprouts, the asparagus, the nettle ravioli, and the remarkable ling cod, and it was all wonderful, as was the rhubarb dessert. We want to check out all of Stowell's other restaurants, but I would be very glad to make a return visit to this one too.

Mkt has moved its way to being one of the top restaurants in Seattle right now. The flavour exudes from each dish, the creativity of design, and the extensiveness of the wine list, beats out many of the 'typical' fine dining go to's. There is really nothing better than a sunny day, the open garage door, and the quiet but excitable atmosphere that Mkt serves up.

The place feels very small. Got seated immediately. Wine selection is nice but cocktail selection could've been better. The fried Green Beans were just ok but potato croquet was heavenly and asparagus was tender and rightly done. Risotto was buttery and delicious. Totally worth it
