"Food and wine was absolutely wonderful. The service was great, and the jazz pianist added a nice touch. The only draw back to the whole evening was the static coming from the speaker for the piano. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet romantic dinner."

"Ok for Roanake VA, but not up to Northern VA standards

Brunch is above average but not great and the eggs Benedict was very good and only $10"

"Upscale restaurant with a romantic ambiance. Jazz pianist was definitely worth listening to...

Found the menu to be a bit limited, though I would prefer less to select from, and have them done well, than too much on the menu that is done mediocre. Our dishes were done extremely well, and the presentation on the plate was appetizing!

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone considering a great place to entertain out-of-town guests, a romantic dinner, or a nice place to spend an evening sharing a bottle of wine with good friends!"

"This was only the second time I'd been to 202 Market, as I don't eat out much, but the food and the service were excellent. Certainly among the best meals I've had dining out in Roanoke."

"Place was excellent. New to the Roanoke area and was trying to find a restaurant that not only had great food, but also music, and a romantic setting. 202 Market delivered on all three, plus if you wanted to stay and step it up a bit with the bar scene they have that as well! I would definitely go back. Price was high, but the taste of the food matched the $ sign. I had the Scottish salmon and had them sub mashed potatoes inside of the purée califlower. The mussels needed more seasoning. But all and all, excellent."

"We were very excited about this restaurant-had been highly recommended but were left a little disappointed. The Lemon Rosemary chicken was smothered in too much butter and no taste of rosemary....the homemade pasta was gummy and tasted like paste. The dessert appeared to be in a tasteless store bought crust and wasn't presented as described on the menu. Our appetizer was delicious as were the roasted brussels sprouts. Atmosphere was very nice, server was just OK. Will probably try another downtown spot next time."

"Happened to be in Roanoke for one night and found a fantastic restaurant. The food was superb: tasty, well done with an excellent presentation. The atmosphere wss vibrant. In addition to providing great service, our server was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and gave perfect recommendations. The owner also made it a point to come by our table and was truly interested in assuring that everything was done right. Next time I am in Roanoke, I will definitely go back."
