I'm sure the ""mastermind"" behind this restaurant's moniker feels clever indeed. Not so much. Whereas the name seems inventive, the menu does not. Would someone kindly inform the Executive Chef...excuse me...the cook, Sean Brasel, that baby escargot, filet mignon and quail eggs do not by virtue of their presence on a menu make for a fine dining establishment. Rick Munarriz was bold in his comparison of the Meat Market to Prime 112. You're comparing apples to oranges. Brasel isn't talented enough to be Mike Sabin's Sous Chef. And nevermind Morton's - it's in a class all its own. But my Review is not a product of the cook's cutlets. I would have never bothered writing this Review had it not been for my brief, yet dreadful encounter with the young, incredibly naive Brijette. Where ever did you find her? For a Meat Market, I expect better than this chopped liver. What a rude little girl. She seems to have fallen and tripped well past her pay grade. She is disrespectful and lacks the refinement necessary for a restaurant that alleges to be a fine dining establishment. Take a lesson from the ladies at The Forge or Capital Grille or Burger King for that matter. Considering Brigette is the first contact a patron has with the Meat Market, management would be wise to act accordingly. I was terribly disappointed from the onset and it's unfortunate that novelty will not be enough for the Meat Market to survive. I fear poor staffing and a weak menu will be its demise soon enough. During these times it is extremely important that service providers be courteous and polite always. Brijette was nothing more than a MEATer maid with her militant demeanor and unprofessional behavior. None of us will be returning and after our meal pondered whether we should become vegans.
Pros: Location
Cons: Brijette
