Market Stand Cafe

I had breakfast here. Steak and eggs. Food was delicious but took a while to be cooked. I could have opted for a buffet option but decided I did not want to get up nor did I feel like eating that much. None the less the food portion size was big. The service was also a but spotty as I had to ask for a cup of coffee, then additionally for creme to be brought over. It is conveniently located inside the Hyatt Regency so it's a quick elevator ride down to the 2nd floor.

Food was good,service was efficient. Like the others mentioned, this place is pretty empty all the time but they do have the staff to support more people. There is a "thoughtfully sourced" full buffet that includes an omelet station but at $17 and change, I couldn't see anything that would make it worthwhile. I ordered the banana oat pancakes and while the title indicates "pancake" I did end up with three! The coffee is $3.50 because they say it's Starbucks but who really knows. Quiet atmosphere, easy to order and tasty food overall.

$20 for maybe ten items plus coffee and juice. Choose your own ingredients omelet bar, then a couple big warmers full of chicken sausage links, bacon, breakfast potatoes, scrambled eggs, and forgettable rubber French toast. Also had a couple of bagels, cinnamon rolls, and croissants. There were some prepackaged cereals, vat of hot but artificial maple syrup to go with no pancakes to be found. Honestly the best thing there was the unstirred flour-laden gravy which instead of chunks of sausage had chunks of overcooked flour which meant biscuits and gravy flavored gravy! This is the same breakfast except the omelet bar that I'd pay zero dollars for at any other hotel and expect for free upon waking in the AM. Really nothing special at all. Odd how the fancy places make you pay for the normally complimentary things like breakfast and internet, right? Anyways, stay away unless you're desperate to drop $20.

After waiting for 10 mins to be acknowledged (mind you I wasn't the only one there waiting) I was seated and waited another 20 mins before I left. A waiter never came to take my order. I was served a glass of water and that's all. I don't know if they are short staffed but a simple "I'll be with you in a minute" would have sufficed.

Mind you this hotel restaurant was not busy at all, I could count the number of people eating with both hands. What a disappointment in service...

Was here solely for a cocktail joining a group, and it was your standard hotel bar, with inattentive service.

Don't go even if your staying at the Hyatt. I was only person in the whole breakfast area and my bacon came out dry and cold. Breakfast potatoes bad. Eggs were fine. Save your $13 and walk down the street.

Market stand cafe is conveniently located on the second floor of the Hyatt and is very easily accessible from the lobby or the hotel elevators. During the morning, they have a bunch of breakfast items like French toast and a breakfast meal with eggs and bacon and such. They also have a breakfast buffet. I skipped breakfast here but did order dinner which was just about average. The first red flag was how long it took for the food to get ready. It was around 8, the restaurant was nearly empty and it took over 30mins. I ordered some pan seared salmon from their "healthy" menu and it lacked any flavor at all. It didn't seem to have any seasoning at all, not even salt and pepper. You can pick a sauce and I went with the garlic butter, which I thought would be on top of the salmon. Thankfully it was on the side because it wasn't that good. The best part of the meal were the two sides, the mash potatoes and the cauliflower. The mashed potatoes were fresh, and honestly had more flavor than the salmon. The cauliflower had some type of seasoning/herbs on it (go figure), which was overwhelming but was bearable when scooped with the veggies. There are so many better options along high street and surrounding the hotel, better to go out and find food.

For the high price point of the food the quality of the food was disappointing. The server was not attentive. I had to ask multiple times for cream for my coffee and by the time I got it my coffee was cold. My meal was cold when it finally came. The dining room was not full and it still took over 40 min to get our meals after we ordered.
We had breakfast the next day. $7 for oatmeal? The buffet was $17 with a small selection although it did include the omelet station.

Very good burger recommended by excellent waiter (John).

Best service of my three day trip to Columbus for a conference.

Because its tucked away in the second floor of the Hyatt's lobby, I don't think many people realize that its there. The service here is generally good. They have a great selection in salads, and this is where I head when I'm in the mood for one. It's an especially great place to have lunch on a sunny day in winter as the restaurant has floor to sky windows with a great view of the city.
