There seem to be reviews here for both the Espresso Bar and the Marketplace Cafe. Mine is for the Marketplace Cafe. \n\nI had a late lunch here and found a very light crowd at this cafeteria style restaurant. The staff was friendly and attentive and the dining area clean and comfortable. While the food was good and I have no major complaints, I couldn't bring myself to give it the four stars so many other had considering I didn't feel any \"wow\" factor. \n\nFor my entree I had the Parmesan Crusted Chicken. The chicken was good, perhaps even a bit too crunchy for my particular taste. My only concern is that I never tasted a hint of Parmesan cheese. The salad also consisted of mixed greens, diced tomatoes, bacon, chopped egg, avocado slices, corn and a creamy dressing that brought it all together. For me, the wrong dressing can ruin a salad, but I was very happy with this one. In fact, I believe you can even buy bottles of their dressing at the checkout area. \n\nAlthough I'm not a big fan of almond flavor, I do like raspberry and ordered the Raspberry Almond Bar for dessert. The portion was ample, though I wished the crust were more flaky than dense, that the center were moister and that there were a greater proportion of raspberry (jam???) to top it off. Not a bad dessert, just no \"wow\" factor I hoped for. \n\nI will say this place is a great alternative to the mall food court. While I'm sure kids are welcome, this is a great place to escape the noise of the food court.
