Reservations
Polished Four Seasons dining with strong New American dishes, superb service, skyline views, and premium prices—excellent overall, though breakfast and value perceptions vary.
Why it gets an A for overall quality
MKT stands among the region's finest hotel dining establishments through exceptional food quality anchored by strong dinner execution and outstanding service attentiveness that anticipates guest needs. The sophisticated setting with city views and polished yet relaxed atmosphere create genuine occasion-worthy dining, though breakfast variability and premium pricing prevent higher distinction. Consistent excellence across core dimensions positions this as a destination-caliber restaurant.
Restaurant Summary
High above Market Street, MKT feels polished yet relaxed, the kind of room where conference badges mingle with date-night heels. Service reads as warm and anticipatory—one guest raved, "They made our window-table wish happen,"—and the views add a quiet sense of occasion. The cooking leans contemporary New American with global touches: think tiradito with leche de tigre, octopus al pastor, and careful seafood sears rather than showy tricks. Dinner is the strong suit; breakfast can be uneven. Portions skew refined, but many diners feel the quality and hospitality justify the premium. Families will find it workable: breakfast classics, waffles, pancakes, and a simple pasta make it kid-accommodating despite the upscale vibe. There is no explicit kids menu, but staff usually helps steer to familiar choices; adventurous specials may be less appealing to picky eaters.
