    While the five of us in our party couldn’t possibly try everything on the menu, what we did have was good! Not great, but good. The fish n chips were good, as was the clam chowder, but the caesar was a little disappointing, maybe because of the arugula or whatever the designer lettuce was. Wife didn’t care too much for the crab cakes, too “doughy” . Service was adequate considering how busy it was, just before a concert. All in all a good experience, we’ll go back to try some of their other items…

    Waited a long time just to get water by that time other people sat down so when the waiter came, he didn't serve us first. Then I asked for over medium eggs. I got over easy.

    Dinner at the Market 253 is surprisingly great! I had a filet mignon medium rare and it was perfect. Veggie side was also perfect. Highly recommend for value and quality. It’s in the casino so ambience is as good as possible.

    Our server Jason was awesome! Everyone got there at the same time with large parties but it didn’t stop Jason from handling all of our expectations for a wonderful birthday brunch experience.

    Reservations recommended for a weekend evening, they get really busy and service is very slow. Food is pretty good.

    Loved the food and there was so much of it! There were many servers but ours was not available very often…wondering if she was helping out in the kitchen, though.

    Above average food. Some prices are a little high. Wine was over priced. Service depends on what’s happening. Very fast one time and very slow the next. Overall it will leave you satisfied.

    Food was good but could have been warmer. The fries were almost cold.
