O M G ... If…read morecommitment issues were a place, it would be Sawmill Market. This is where you go when no one can agree on anything and somehow everyone wins. Pizza, pho, coffee, cocktails, ice cream, tacos , brewery, sweets , sushi , clay pot , European bakery , something vaguely healthy to balance it out, it is all here under one very aesthetic roof. Set inside a restored industrial space, the whole vibe leans effortlessly cool with open air seating, big windows, loud music and that buzzy energy of people grazing their way through dinner . You order from different vendors, regroup at a table, and pretend you planned it that way. It is chaotic in the besttttt way. Surprisingly we did not have long lines or long waits and found a table very quickly upstairs . The food? Hit or miss depending on where you land, but the variety is the real star. Come with a group, order too many things, and share everything. Just know you are paying a little extra for the ambiance and convenience, which feels very on brand for a place like this. Would I come back? Absolutely. It is not just a meal, it is an experience, and sometimes that is exactly what you want.One of the best food halls I've been to in a while.

We had heard about a converted industrial site (used by the railroads), that became a food hall…read more We decided to check it out. It's got something like a dozen different food outlets to please everyone. There are a couple of bar setups, too, that looked like fun. We got tacos, and some Vietnamese dishes and enjoyed them a lot. The place has plenty of tables, an upstairs area, and a large screen tv to take in while you dine. ... we enjoyed the experience so much that we went back a second night, and got noodle dishes, poke bowls, and a salad bowl. (We took these to go and went up the sandia tram and ate at picnic tables overlooking the city) Everything we ate was really good, and reasonably priced. And there are very many vegetarian options, and at least a few vegan ones, too. People say parking can be a hassle, but we didn't experience that. But the lot is small for the space size, so I can see how it could be an issue.

I asked for the code to the restroom and the staff was asking me to show them a receipt and telling me the restrooms were for paying customers only. I understood but when I tried explaining that I was a customer because I ate at the stackers they demanded I show them a receipt. Had I known I was going to need proof I wouldn't have thrown my receipt. I told both the vendors I spoke with I'm not digging in the trash to find my receipt. I got so frustrated after the second vendor that I just gave up and left. I don't think I'll be returning here for a while.

Shout out to our server Geoff who had some great recommendations! He also went above and beyond when I asked if they had blue cheese stuffed olives to go with my Kettle One Martini. Our favorite thing that we ate was the calamari, which paired great with the lime mint sauce. The seared tuna was a bit over seasoned and the Halibut was kind of bland. There are lots of food and drink options though, so we will be back for more!

To start, I appreciate the TOCK reservation app. It was so easy to go in and modify my original reservation (unlike open table which I find difficult to edit). We five person party did dinner.

The lighting and intimate downtown vibe made it the perfect date night spot. The service was attentive and welcoming, and every single thing we ordered was excellent. We started with the pretzel bites and queso dip, which were absolutely addictive -- soft, warm pretzel bites paired perfectly with the creamy queso. For dinner, I ordered the noodle bowl with tofu and fresh vegetables, and it was packed with flavor while still feeling light and fresh. My husband had the burger and fries, and it was cooked perfectly with great flavor and a soft toasted bun. The drinks were also fantastic and complemented the meal perfectly. You can tell the ingredients are fresh! This was our first visit, but definitely not our last. Slate Street Cafe is such a great spot for a relaxed dinner, drinks, or date night downtown. Highly recommend!

The first couple slices of bread are complimentary but that is all we wanted since we didn't want to get full eating just the bread. Once our main meals came out, they looked delicious. My Husband liked his baked penne al forno but said it could be a little less noodle in portion. I had the chicken parmesan the chicken was great but it was served in a bowl like dish, so it was difficult to cut up. It was on a bed of penne pasta had no sauce under the chicken. Only the top of the plate had sauce and cheese. I asked for some extra sauce and they came out with a little one ounce serving cup. When I asked for another small cup, they said they would need to charge me two dollars for more. The pasta under my chicken was so dry I decided to take the rest home and add my own sauce. This was a huge disappointment for me and I didn't want to offend them by saying the pasta had no sauce underneath and was very dry. I guess we won't be coming back and will try other places in town that are more affordable and nickel and dime people for bread and sauce.

The menu is fun and creative, with unique options that make it exciting to try something new.

It's definitely on the middle to higher end in terms of price, but you're paying for the full experience -- the ambiance, the quality, and the flavors.

Our reservation was on time and people were quite attentive, assuring us it would be (we got there early). The ambiance was relaxed and quiet, but it got noisier as the night crowd joined. Service was attentive and also slow at times. I am unsure if the slow service was as we were enjoying our company or if this is the norm. As friendly as the service was, there were some significant mistakes. One order was not put with the others, delaying the dish even more. Having a party of six, I would expect the server to ask how to split the check before giving it. That delayed things even more at the end. To correct this mistake, he offered a drink on the house. And the last one, they charged me for drinks we didn't drink. We found this after we left. In terms of drinks, they were fantastic and long-named! My bartender's choice was absolutely in point. Even though the dishes came late, we were excited when they arrived. Visually, they were pretty. I can only describe our dishes and not that of our friends, as we didn't try them. For appetizers, we got the crudo. This was quite refreshing and bright ahi tuna with lots of citrus helped by pieces of creamy avocado. The hubs got the steak frites. Visually appealing, but the flavors did not match my eyes. The meat was cooked perfectly but was missing flavor and seasoning. The fries were also bland. I got the seared duck breast. This dish was visually stunning. However, it also did not meet the expectations set by the visuals. The vegetables and balsamic sauce were the heroes, while the duck breast was small and a third was just fat. Considering the prices of this place, we expected the visuals to match the flavors, but they were unfortunately not the same.
