How We Work

How We Work

The Market Place runs a seasonal menu and is influenced on a daily basis by what is available locally. This approach assures the freshest food, the best flavors and the best value.

When we plan your menu, we recommend a broad approach-choose the type of appetizer (i.e. salad, hot appetizer, soup), center-of-the plate selection for the entrée (beef, pork, seafood, etc.) and the dessert. The week of the event we will finalize the vegetables, garnishes and sauces. We will make every effort to provide the menu selections you have made. However, we reserve the right to substitute if produce availability has affected menu selection.

Guidelines

Below is a break-down of menu options; and an explanation of our pre-order option:

  • Tier 1: choose from 1 salad, 3 entrées and 1 dessert. $60/Person.
  • Tier 2: choose 1 appetizer, 1 salad, 3 entrées and 1 dessert. $75/Person
  • Tier 3: choose 3 appetizers, 1 salad, 3 entrees and 2 desserts. $95/Person
  • We also offer many additional add-ons to help you curate your perfect event!

Pre-Order your Menu

No matter the size of your group, we can give you the option to pre-order from a few selections that you designate for your group. We require all selections to be made no less than 2 weeks prior to the event. We will then assist you in creating a seating chart and we will create menu cards, as to ensure a flawless execution.
