Casual Dining and a New Early Dinner Menu
Dining

By Carol & Joe Davis
Market
& Rye opened in 2012 and quickly became known as
a great casual San Francisco Potrero Hill neighborhood restaurant,
which serves tasty and reasonably priced Breakfast, Lunch and
Weekend Brunch. They recently expanded their dining room adding
a large communal table, big screen TV and additional individual
tables. Now they are serving early dinner Monday-Friday until
7:00 P.M. with a nightly Dinner Special for each weekday, along
with selections from their Lunch Menu. Beer and Wine are also
available all day at very reasonable prices, as well. As you enter,
you see that you order at the Register. We ordered soup, sides,
entrees, wine and dessert then sat in the new dining room.
We
were quite pleased with the Sweet Corn Soup garnished
with truffle oil which was served in a big cup. The flavor and
the creamy texture were perfect! Next, we enjoyed the Mission
Salad with mixed greens, marinated jicama, black beans, pickled
jalapenos, charred avocado, queso fresco, crispy tortilla and
chipotle vinaigrette.
The
Thursday Dinner Special was Sergio's Dr. Pepper Grilled Pork
Ribs with poppy seed cole slaw, molasses black beans and
jalapeno cornbread. It was really a hearty serving, the ribs were
very tender and meaty and we loved the cornbread. The Cornflake
Crusted Fried Chicken Sandwich with Old Bay Aioli, pickles,
poppy seed cole slaw on a Brioche bun from the Lunch Menu was
delicious, light and healthy. Since we like our food spicier,
we added some pickled jalapenos from our Mission Salad.
We
also enjoyed some tasty side salads including the Corn &
Quinoa Salad with red radish, feta, herbs and white balsamic
dressing, the Brussels Sprouts Salad with Fresno chiles
and parmesan dressing and the Roasted Apricot & Couscous Salad
with cheese, arugula and pistachio dressing. The 2011 Split
Creek Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir and the 2011 Inzolia Grillo
Sicilia Italian White wine went well with our meal. For dessert
we enjoyed Strawberry Pie and coffee. The Strawberry
Pie was an individual tart which was baked and.....just wonderful!
It would also be great for breakfast.
Market
& Rye is a perfect casual restaurant for breakfast,
lunch, brunch or their new Early Dinner. Chef Ryan Scott
and Chef de Cuisine Sergio Medina prepare very
tasty comfort food using locally sourced and sustainable ingredients.
We look forward to trying their very popular weekend brunch.
