19 Market is a modern high end Asian-Vietnamese Resturant. Upon walking in here I was very impressed with the decore of 19 Market. The decore is a modern sophisticated asian style done just right. 19 Market has a good menu choice to choose from that will appeal to most appetites. The have a nice balance of beef, seafood, chicken, and vegitarian options prepared in different ways from curry, terriyaki, grilled, stir fried, and some claypot options. They have a good drink menu with a variety of mixed drink specials and good wine selection.\r

The food quality here is good. It is a step up or two from most take out asian resturants and just slightly above a PF Changs. The portion sizes are just about right and everything is spiced with the right amount of flavor. The prices here are on the high side and on par with PF Changs. Most of the appitizers run between $6-$9, entrees $10-$20, and vegitable and sides about $13-$20.\r

The only real negative I have to say about 19 Market is service. When I arrived there, there was only 1 server taking care of about 10 tables. The server was also the bartender/hostess/bust boy. This guy did work hard to serve us all (much kudos to him) but for the this type of place there should have been atleast 2 people. Might be just a 1 time thing because someone called in sick. \r
\r
One tip, probably the best deal here is their happy hour deal. Appitizers are half off and so are drinks. If you can make happy hour, there are enough options on the appitizers to make a pretty good meal.\r
\r
Overall this is good place to come to as a better alternative to PF Changs, for a date night, or for the happy hour specials.
Pros: Ambience, Food Quality, Menu Selection
Cons: May lack proper staffing needs, Prices are on the High Side
