Gather has a fresh and inviting look and welcoming atmosphere.The menu features an array of delicious sandwiches, with a focus on classic deli-style offerings. I opted for their highly recommended muffuletta, which was served on a fresh bread and stuffed with layers of salami, ham, and provolone cheese, all topped off with a tangy olive tapenade. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the bread was crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. I also tried their pulled pork Cuban sandwich, which was packed with tender and juicy pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on a toasted roll. It was delicious.Overall, The Market Deli is a hidden gem that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious sandwich. The muffuletta and pulled pork Cuban sandwiches were both outstanding, and the service was top-notch. It's a great place to grab a quick lunch or pick up something to take home. I cannot wait to come back and try more of their offerings.

A friend and I were planning to visit Oakland Cemetery (just across Memorial Drive from the café for a scavenger hunt. We opted to meet here beforehand for lunch. We had planned to park in the cemetery's parking lot, but there was some road race which restricted access to the north side of Memorial Drive. Hence, we ended up parking on street a block south and a few blocks over from the café. The market itself has a small lot, but it seemed mostly geared towards market patrons. I *assume* you could park there while you grabbed a meal at the café also. The lot seemed to fill up quickly, though. We met there at around 11:20 a.m. on a Sunday. you enter the market from the side doors (i.e., not those facing Memorial Drive . To your left is the café area. A line forms to order at a counter. There are menus available in a basket for you to peruse while in line. It was at this point that we discovered that breakfast was still in progress. Lunch didn't begin until noon. We opted to do the first zone of our scavenger hunt and return. We got back just after noon. Ordering was quick, though we somehow did not end up with a little metal table tag. One of the entrees arrived fairly quickly but mine seemed to take longer for some reason. They managed to find us even without our table displayed. The staff seemed friendly enough. I had ordered a BLT and a side of fries. The volume of fries was larger than I expected, actually, but they were good. The BLT was fine. I found the bread a bit odd it was not dark but tasted a bit of rye. To me, that wouldn't be the standard first choice for BLT bread, but it wasn't bad. I don't think I underwent a full conversion to being a BLT on rye guy, though. At the end, you bus your table and drop off plastic trays over at a station near the drink machine. Prices were fair. Overall, this is a good option if you aren't looking for a particularly heavy meal (as you might get in some of the other restaurants facing Oakland . I'd consider a follow up visit.

It 's a nice aesthetic atmosphere, I 'll give it that, but after that, everything else falls short and ends quite rudimentary, while seeming upscale and classy. It 's more burnt, bagged and bougie. The garlic and parsley on the fries is so uncharacteristically intense and shameful it tasted like spicy wasabi fries and very much looked like it too. Burger was finished medium-well when i asked for medium rare. It was my first time eating here and I was treated like a pushover, as I was trying to figure out their menu the hostess at the register had me step out of my place in line to allow... Other guests to place or pick up an order first. I asked her about the seating and they wouldn 't be straightforward, as well as the menu being entirely misleading and they left me to figure it out myself with no direction. I 'm sorry I went that day.

Tried thIs place for a 2nd time, and I honestly was NOT impressed this time, either. Much better Noodle spots around that are betterFood: 3/5
