    Rosemary chicken. Way too salty!
    Daniel B.

    The appetizer -- a waffle like biscuit draped in honey butter sauce is five stars. It's one of the most impressive appetizers I've yet eaten in la. With that said, I ordered the Rosemary chicken. Vegetables were lightly seasoned, as well as the mash. Reasonably priced for being at the center of the commerce casino. The chicken was drenched in salt. I have absolutely no idea why it turned out like that, but I was with a very important person, so I held back my complaint. I would recommend ordering a side item appetizer or a sandwich and forego their dinner items. Doesn't seem like an entree type of place, but more so of a casual quick bite

    Waffles for the table

    Came here for dinner on a Saturday night. Food and service was great. They give you complimentary mini waffles instead of bread. It's served with a honey apple butter sauce that is amazing. I had a burger which I ordered medium. It was a little pinker than I like but still perfect. My daughter had pesto pasta and she liked her entree. Our table also ordered the ice cream brownie dessert. I give it two thumbs up. It's large enough for 4 adults to share. Stop by Commerce Casino for a meal if you're in the area. *the price range on yelp is incorrect. It is $10-$20 for entrees.

    Service is lackluster and spotty. Had the rib eye $26. Pretty dry. Had to ask for au jus or something and got pesto sauce. Asked for bread or dinner roll and was offered complimentary mini waffles. Alcohol menu is limited to beers and wine. You could to the bar and get your own but they won't. Ambience is tranquil and peaceful - vintage Xmas music playing in the background. Food tasted ok but longed for a good steak and this was not it. If you're looking for an experience, or even a nice dinner, more than just satiating/quenching your hunger, this is not the place. I support local businesses and hope this place improves their service and responsiveness. For the menu prices, there is plenty of room for improvement.

    Second time here, first time the food was a little heavy. Ordered the Salmon and enchiladas this time and it was slightly better. The waffles are great Service was great. Ambience was good

    Short Rib Bourguignon
    Irene L.

    I had the Short Rib Bourguignon - The meat was so moist it was unbelievable and the eggplant, carrots, and zucchini with the mash potatoes this was a flawless combination.

    Miso Salmon
    Victoria G.

    First time here and I really loved the great service (Dan) and food. Definitely ask for the mini waffles with honey apple butter. The salmon was delicious!

    Room service salad and steak.
    Lila M.

    Ordered Farmers Salad the lettuce was a bit soft and the dressing tasted off. Steak was good tasting ans the potatoes were delish. 54 bucks for this meal def not worth it for the taste but for the convenience of room service is what we paid for.

    Miso salmon and steak and eggs both great choices! So flavorful  and decedent

    First time coming here on Father's Day. We made an appointment online, which was super easy, and…read morethere's plenty of parking in the lot. We walked around to the main entrance, and it took them less than five minutes to seat us. Parking can be challenging on busy nights, especially when they have dancing events, even though they have a huge parking lot. The ambiance is very intimate with fairy lights and red lighting in the background. The ceiling is beautiful, and the restaurant feels elegant and classy without feeling intimidating. The menu is very reasonable, and the meat is just as good as other steakhouses. Customer service here is truly five-star. Portions are good, service is fast, and there are lots of food options. Best of all, they have dance classes like Bachata and Salsa nights. They have a dance floor where you can dance, and before the Salsa night there was a Frank Sinatra impersonator singing his songs. Overall, the vibe is five-star, the customer service is five-star, and the food is five-star. We will definitely come back for special occasions. Today, we found out they had a Father's Day special for $35 that came with ribeye, lobster, a side salad, and another side dish. We were so happy with the dinner and service. This place is a different experience. It feels very homey, elegant, and classy. It's like coming to a wedding as a guest without the cake cutting and wedding program. If you like steakhouses, this place is highly recommended. It's right next to the 5 Freeway and close to the Citadel. I can't believe the owner himself was the one ushering us to our seats when he could have easily left everything to his employees. He was so humble that I thought he was just one of the staff members. I also can't believe he knew my son ordered a crème brûlée. When the bill came, he had taken it off the bill and treated my son to dessert. Who does that these days? We ordered coffee which came in such a fancy set up with chocolate crumbles, whipped cream and cinnamon sticks, so fancy! Definitely one for the books. Watch out for their specials from time to time. If you like steak and lobster and you like dancing, check this place out. Highly recommended.

Once we were ready she had our table already prepared. We have to order inside first before you can be seated. Once seated our food came out not too long after. Everything looked and tasted delicious! We ordered the chilaquiles verde, short rib omelette, tropical pancakes (seasonal), and the mango curd french toast (seasonal). The chilaquiles verde was savory and tangy. It wasn't soggy at all and definitely one of my favorite dishes. The short rib omelette was savory but didn't give me any wow factor compared to the other dishes I ordered. The tropical pancakes were so pretty. I only tried a piece of it without the syrup which I think was a mistake because the kumquat syrup was my friend's favorite. I definitely need to try it again with the syrup. Best for last, mango curd French toast was my favorite! I fell in love with sweetness and tanginess of the mango curd. The French toast was soft and you can taste the butter. I wish it was a main menu item. I'll definitely be sad to see it go. They have lots of seating inside and outside.

The moment I took my first bite, I immediately noticed that the ricotta tasted sour and spoiled. I drove back to the restaurant to request a refund. Unfortunately, my refund was not honored because the manager, Aimee, was not present. Karely, the lead on duty, seemed unsure of how to handle the situation and attempted to explain that the sour taste was simply the lemon in the ricotta. That explanation was disappointing because there is a clear difference between the intended lemon flavor and the taste of spoiled dairy. What upset me most was the lack of concern, apology, or effort to make the situation right. As a customer, I expected the issue to be taken seriously, especially when food safety is involved. If a manager is unavailable, staff should be properly trained and empowered to handle customer concerns appropriately. I am currently four months pregnant, which made this experience even more concerning. I wasted my time, gas, and energy driving back to the restaurant, only to leave without a refund or any resolution. This was by far the worst experience I have had at a restaurant in Downey, and unfortunately, I will not be returning.

That's the kind of service that keeps you coming back. We ended up staying for almost three hours because that's how comfortable and relaxed we felt at The Marketplace.

Even though my partner and I had a reservation that we showed up on time for, we waited 30 minutes to be seated. That wait time is pretty outrageous considering we reserved a table for 30 minutes earlier. Once seated, we noticed that the staff were extremely slow and inattentive. It took a while for us to get some water and even longer to get our food. The pacing between dishes was ludicrous. The food here is the saving grace for the disappointing service. We started off with the naan & dips. The dips were tahini tofu and carrot hummus. I liked the tahini tofu dip much more than the carrot hummus. It was creamy, nutty, and savory. The naan was fresh and nicely charred. Next we had the goat liver mousse. This included crumpets, biscuit crackers, craisin relish, seasonal jam, and of course, goat liver mousse. The crackers were too dry for me, but I really enjoyed the warm crumpets. All of the spreads were equally good. The goat live mousse itself was smooth and light. For the main courses, we shared the grilled kalbi-style short ribs and pork belly noodles. The short ribs were covered in a sweet-savory sauce and had a deep caramelization, while the meat was tender and juicy. As for the pork belly noodles, the overall flavor was too salty, but the glass noodles had a nice texture. Throughout our entire meal, there was a fly that kept trying to fly onto our food. It was very annoying to deal with. I was surprised that it was even an issue, considering we had indoor seating. I would have understood if only we were seated outside. Ultimately, I did not leave with a great impression of this restaurant. On top of that, there isn't any designated parking lot, so you'll be lucky if you can even find street parking. If not, you'll need to use one of the paid lots nearby. Also, beware that this restaurant adds a surcharge to all checks regardless of party size.
