Never have been but thinking about going today. What is the board's thoughts on this place? Also, are Sunday's crowded? Is it like a bunch of Tapas places where I can have a slice pizza or a taco?

It’s like a food court with a nice bar. Good food, but not set up for sampling.

It’s pretty cool. It’s still growing, too. They have a Jolie Pearl, a pizza place, taco place, a full service bar, a desert shop, it’s really kind of nice. The tacos were good, but kind of spicy. There is also a cajun place that made some good stuff too.

The bar serves beer and wine? Or cocktails as well? How expensive is the place? Could I just get a slice of pizza or have order a whole pizza? Looking to sample some stuff

You're overthinking it.

Here are the vendors:

If crowded, it may be the loudest restaurant environment I have ever experienced.

Went once over a year ago. It is just a crammed food court. Seemed very disorganized and loud.

Full service bar. It’s not expensive. I don’t think you can get slices, but two people could easily kill a pizza.

Chow Yum Phat rules

The new place Rutledge is great as well. Really good sandwiches and salads. Need to try their dinner menu, it sounds great. Short ribs w/polenta, duck and dumplings, crab gnocci.

Wow, no way it's louder that Overpass Merchant at peak times. If so, it needs a warning label.

We’ve been a few times. It’s loud when it’s packed but honestly I think that’s part of the point. It’s no different than Superior Grill when it’s packed.

If you want quiet, try Ninos or K Street.

St Roch market in New Orleans is better. Same type deal. Multiple vendors. Lots of variety and choices.

I’ve only been during the week, it is a cool atmosphere, but I’ve always thought that the food was trying to be a chef too hard. Leave the quinoa and just give me some chicken in a taco.

I've been twice; I tried a variety and nothing really stood out to me. Doubt I'll ever go back.
