    Cool little place with great food and a fun atmosphere. Our experience was likely a one off, as it took a bit before we were assigned a server. However, the service was great after that. Food was excellent and looking forward to returning.

    I normally don’t write bad reviews, but I felt like this one needed to be written. This has nothing to do with our server, he was a nice guy and did a good job. I ordered a cheese burger with pickles only. That’s it, nothing fancy. We were munching on appetizers, which were really good. They bring the food out. Everyone got their food but me. So the server goes back to get mine, and I believe he brought me someone else’s food. I told him that wasn’t what I ordered, so he asks me what I ordered. I told him but I said, don’t worry about it, if they didn’t make it, no big deal I am full from the apps. Well, he goes and orders it. They bring out the wrong thing again and I told him please just cancel my order I am full. They come out again, this time it was right. I told him that I had asked him to cancel the order. So he leaves and comes back. He says, I asked my manager to adjust your ticket, but he said since you ordered it you will have to pay for it even if you don’t eat it. The manager didn’t even have the decency to come out and talk to us. This isn’t about the place itself or the servers, this is just about the manager. Had he come to talk to us, we could have told him exactly what happened and that we had asked them 3 times not to re-order it, just to cancel. So be prepared if they bring you the wrong meal, if you don’t eat it you will still have to pay for it. I will say, I did take a bit of my husbands burger. It was meh. Go to Saw’s kitchen next door. Now that is how a burger should be cooked. And they will get your order right the first time.

    Horrible service. We arrived, sat ourselves (as is their policy) and waited, and waited, and waited for someone to at acknowledge our presence. It never happened. Yes, they were busy. But SEVERAL servers walked past our table. No one said anything. Not a single word. 15 minutes later we got up to leave. My bf went to the bar to tell the bartender that we were ignored. As he was having this conversation with the bartender, the bartender LITERALLY WALKED AWAY!!! Totally dismissive of us. My bf let it be known that their service sucks! One of the workers overheard the conversation my bf was trying to have with the bartender and LITERALLY FOLLOWED US OUTSIDE as we went to our car!!! He was talking to either another worker or a friend repeating what my bf said about the service sucking. It was said very loudly in order for us to hear it. We responded and confirmed yes the service sucked. The worker proceeds to tell us that we were not sitting for 15 minutes! Really? Did you time it? Because we did. Why? Because we were hungry! So he basically accused us of lying. As I said, no drinks were offered, no one brought us water. We got nothing. I've been to Black Market previously. But I WILL NEVER BE BACK. To be ignored is one thing but to be harassed is absolutely ridiculous! There are much better restaurants in the Avondale area. Black Market is HORRIBLE!!
