Amazing quality food with a great friendly service. Me and the mrs love this place. Oysters and fish are delicious as well the steaks and burgers. Thumbs up all round. Only thing i would suggest is to offer more alternitve sides such as sweet potato mash and better salads.
Service, food and general buzz makes it a great place to hang out with friends and family. A must, especially in the evening at weekends. Dress up or go chilled, it just works. The layout is fantastic, simple but makes you feel relaxed . Fish on display so you can pick your own. Do I need to say any more!
Always a good experience , service a little cold on occasion. Guess we alslo should have asked for some advice on the wine (i made a bad choice)
Very much enjoyed this restaurant. Food was obviously fresh and cooked just right.Design of restaurant is imaginative spacious and made my birthday lunch special.Parking is stressful in Crystal Palace and perhaps some tips how to do this easily locally should be available.
Excellent atmosphere great food. Strongly recommend it. It was full by 7pm and the service was spot on. Would definitely go again and the wine bar next door looks good as well
Great fresh food with lots of variety to choose from, especially the seafood! A very comfortable and relaxing environment helped by smiling and very friendly staff!
Fantastic food and lovely service. My fish was perfect and the accompanying pesto sauce was the most delicious I've ever tasted. Shame about the loud table next to us.
Lovely decor throughout. Great friendly service. Deliciously tasty food beautifully presented. My husband's cocktail was a bit small so it wasn't value for money. They did put a candle in our dessert for my husband's birthday.
Good food and excellent menu choices. Very good service and friendly staff, good atmosphere. Very good value for money and generous portions. Something for everyone.
Great place. Good food, good service, lovely athmosphere. I will definitely recommend it and go back. Try the sea bream, it's incredibly tasty! Definitely one of my new favourite places!
We waited to be seated, waited for the lunch menu which is only available at 1pm, waited to be served and waited for the bill. The burgers and side salad were great. The chips were average.
Really bad service. We had the service charge removed . We were told it was because they were short staffed. I said to the waiter that doesn't excuse the bad attitude and lack of smiling and generally bring rude. Will not return.
Attentive friendly staff, great food and a really good wine list ; an overall great evening ( though unfortunately, the dessert menu is not very imaginative! )
There is brilliant service; it's efficient and attentive without being intrusive. And the food is absolute heaven. Fantastically fresh and utterly delicious, with a very good selection. Great bar too.
We came here from from Leigh-On-Sea as it was our 15th wedding anniversary (crystal), and was well worth the drive. Great food, great service and great atmosphere (apart from Michael Mcintyre's stand up routine playing in the toilets)
The tuna steak and tuna tartar were mouth watering! We will definitely be back to visit again. Staff and service were also really great! Super helpful with my dietary requirements.
Amazing food, service and atmosphere. We were looked after so well. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for very high quality food and drink in South London.
My party of four were impressed by the quality and quantity of our orders, but our initial helpful welcome and ordering were not sustained with a variety of somewhat inattentive table staff and a music system that thought that it was auditioning for TGI Friday
well prepared food and helpful staff, a nice relaxed evening out. Surprisingly busy for a midweek evening, but a cocktail at the bar covered the short wait for our reservation to be ready.
Another great meal at The Crystal Palace Market. Friendly service and fresh food. Next time I'm going to try the brunch menu because the English Breakfast looked amazing.
Good service and great food. The food was very well presented. The largest portion of burger and chips I have eaten. The salad was perfect and there was enough of it to feel like I have got one of my five a day.
Great food, lovely ambiance and excellent service. Couldn't have been more accommodating of my 8 month old baby and girlfriends. Will definitely be returning soon!
Stunning. Top quality food. Top quality drinks. A wonderful experience from beginning to end. This little gem of a restaurant is on another level. I can't recommend it highly enough.
This restaurant has a great atmosphere and serves great food! Lovely place to have breakfast or brunch and the cocktails were very tasty. Will be going back!
It was welcoming, the food was good, genuine service and a good atmosphere. Maybe the flatten whole grain dried bread was not the best accompaniment for the charcuterie platter but other than that it was great
The ingredients are fresh and full of flavour and if you manage to sit in the right place you can watch the chefs preparing your meal! The service was kind and attentive and we were made to feel welcomed by the staff.
Reservation was taken and they accomodated us changing the time very well. Lobster was cooked well, as was the steak. They really need someone to shoe them how to do a side salad. Vinegar drenched limp salad leaves and about two halved cherry tomatoes doesn't really cut it. We will probably go again as it is convenient, but I'd rather fly to Nova Scotia for the lobster and you will most likely next see us in Billingsgate and Smithfield buying our own!
Very good service. Slightly disappointed at how close the tables were. We had an early sitting 7pm, so the restaurant wasn't busy, but the next 2 people to arrive were sat on the very next table to us, which was too close. A bit pricey, but would return. We enjoyed our evening.
Myself and some friends recently visited 'The Crystal Palace Market' for a birthday celebration. I have been twice so far, and on both occasions the food and service was fantastic. I'm yet to try the breakfast, but will very soon!
Unfortunately, the restaurant has stopped some of their delicious brunch offerings, including lamb sausage and halloumi. Really disappointing and we ended up going to a different place to eat instead. Will not be going back.
Excellent food, both meat and fish, and wine and beer. Attentive staff made us feel very welcome. The whole family happy! Really appreciated chat from friendly chef!
Great food and great wine. Busy and efficient service. Quite loud but very interesting to be able to see directly into the kitchen. Reasonable price for what we consumed.
Fab place, great food though perhaps alittle on the expensive side. No roast today which was a Sunday!. Apart from that happy will go back next time
Food and service was great at Crystal Palace Market...the only negative was my partners steak, there wasn't enough of it to share! You definintly need to book for dinner and has a busy vibe.
The staff always feel disconnected in there, lovely on their own but they don't seem to work together. My sausage and black pudding looked undercooked, I had the same breakfast last week but it wasn't as nice this time. I will go back because I still think it's the best place in crystal palace for a breakfast.
Visited for brunch and really enjoyed it. Staff nice and polite and the food good, as always at CPM. No problems when we asked for things not on the menu. The scrambled eggs and sausage burger were especially good. Plenty of food and food vfm
Always enjoy the food here... tho, unusually, this time, the service was a teeny bit lacklustre. The cocktails are excellent... they make a fabulous French Martini
Consistently great! Always good food and service and a great drinks menu as well. The selection of fish and meat is worth the trip up the hill and they do mean cocktails.
The food at the Market Place is exquisite and the service extremely professional. Our waitress was lovely. It is very good value for money even though expensive.
Great fish, beautifully cooked. And an interesting cocktail menu too. Staff were attentive and friendly. Only slight downside for us was the tables being quite close together, and being sat next to a table with several small children- not quite what we wanted on our romantic night out.
Perfect meal and service! Went the extra mile for a birthday evening we had. I have recommended it to many friends and family already. We will be visiting again soon!
Great quality food- both fish and meat was cooked well and delivered with good service. We also used our tastecard whilst we were there, which they remembered when we arrived and we used with ease. Highly recommended.
Sadly my bearnaise sause was cold and it appeared that my wife's bugger had some hard substance like glass I it. The salad was over seasoned and the malt vinager turned out to be red wine, not impressed
Really good atmosphere (if the music was a tiny bit loud), nice food, the level of service you would expect from somewhere much more expensive
We have been to the Crystal Palace Market a number of times and as usual we had very good food with quick and attentive service
The setting is nice, the service was great and the food was good, especially the salmon carpaccio! Not pricey either when you take the set menu.
Beautiful restaurant, delicious food and lovely staff who are very accomodating. I go whenever i can, with family, friends or partner, its great for many occasions!
The restaurant's website is exactly my philosophy on food: get it good quality, as local as possible and present it as freshly as you can with a bit of a twist. I booked a table online and asked for a quiet table as it was my wife's birthday and we wanted to be able to chat. The good stuff: the fresh fish is all on display so you can chose exactly what you want to. This is great if you are out with children so that they can get involved. I liked the open plan restaurant and kitchen so it has an informal feel. It is not smart decor, more urban contemporary with rough edges. I chose Hampshire trout which was lovely. My wife had seared tuna which was also very good. The salsa verde was very good and freshly made. When I asked for the bill, they clearly noticed it was my wife's birthday and brought a complimentary glass of fizz: that's kind. Less good were the following things. We had a table right in the middle of the restaurant so got knocked by passing people and waiters. They seem to have crammed quite a few tables in. Fine for Wagamama, but less so for good dining. The decor does not dampen sound so the hoped-for conversation was not as easy as we had hoped. £5 for a portion of fries seems pretty steep by anyone's standard. My salmon ceviche had plenty of raw onion in it which is far too strong a flavour to go with delicate salmon. The waiter was about 17-18 years old and had too many tables to deal with so service was pretty poor. All the more annoying then to find a 12.5% 'optional' service charge was listed (which I would not have paid) but when the card machine was presented it had the service charge included. I did not want to quibble the bill in front of my wife as it was a birthday treat, but this is pretty poor. In summary, they do some things well but fall short on others. The bill for two cocktails, starters and mains with two glasses of wine, came to over £100 which I would say is too much for the overall quality of service and food. Good, but no cigar.
Good, friendly service at this well designed restaurant. Their fresh grilled fish is fast becoming a firm favourite of mine, and the cocktails definitely worth it
