Another great meal at The Crystal Palace Market. Friendly service and fresh food. Next time I'm going to try the brunch menu because the English Breakfast looked amazing.

Good service and great food. The food was very well presented. The largest portion of burger and chips I have eaten. The salad was perfect and there was enough of it to feel like I have got one of my five a day.

It was welcoming, the food was good, genuine service and a good atmosphere. Maybe the flatten whole grain dried bread was not the best accompaniment for the charcuterie platter but other than that it was great

The ingredients are fresh and full of flavour and if you manage to sit in the right place you can watch the chefs preparing your meal! The service was kind and attentive and we were made to feel welcomed by the staff.

Reservation was taken and they accomodated us changing the time very well. Lobster was cooked well, as was the steak. They really need someone to shoe them how to do a side salad. Vinegar drenched limp salad leaves and about two halved cherry tomatoes doesn't really cut it. We will probably go again as it is convenient, but I'd rather fly to Nova Scotia for the lobster and you will most likely next see us in Billingsgate and Smithfield buying our own!

Very good service. Slightly disappointed at how close the tables were. We had an early sitting 7pm, so the restaurant wasn't busy, but the next 2 people to arrive were sat on the very next table to us, which was too close. A bit pricey, but would return. We enjoyed our evening.

Myself and some friends recently visited 'The Crystal Palace Market' for a birthday celebration. I have been twice so far, and on both occasions the food and service was fantastic. I'm yet to try the breakfast, but will very soon!

Unfortunately, the restaurant has stopped some of their delicious brunch offerings, including lamb sausage and halloumi. Really disappointing and we ended up going to a different place to eat instead. Will not be going back.

The staff always feel disconnected in there, lovely on their own but they don't seem to work together. My sausage and black pudding looked undercooked, I had the same breakfast last week but it wasn't as nice this time. I will go back because I still think it's the best place in crystal palace for a breakfast.

Food and service was great at Crystal Palace Market...the only negative was my partners steak, there wasn't enough of it to share! You definintly need to book for dinner and has a busy vibe.

Great fish, beautifully cooked. And an interesting cocktail menu too. Staff were attentive and friendly. Only slight downside for us was the tables being quite close together, and being sat next to a table with several small children- not quite what we wanted on our romantic night out.

Really good atmosphere (if the music was a tiny bit loud), nice food, the level of service you would expect from somewhere much more expensive

Always enjoy the food here... tho, unusually, this time, the service was a teeny bit lacklustre. The cocktails are excellent... they make a fabulous French Martini

Consistently great! Always good food and service and a great drinks menu as well. The selection of fish and meat is worth the trip up the hill and they do mean cocktails.

Great quality food- both fish and meat was cooked well and delivered with good service. We also used our tastecard whilst we were there, which they remembered when we arrived and we used with ease. Highly recommended.

The setting is nice, the service was great and the food was good, especially the salmon carpaccio! Not pricey either when you take the set menu.

Sadly my bearnaise sause was cold and it appeared that my wife's bugger had some hard substance like glass I it. The salad was over seasoned and the malt vinager turned out to be red wine, not impressed

Visited for brunch and really enjoyed it. Staff nice and polite and the food good, as always at CPM. No problems when we asked for things not on the menu. The scrambled eggs and sausage burger were especially good. Plenty of food and food vfm

The restaurant's website is exactly my philosophy on food: get it good quality, as local as possible and present it as freshly as you can with a bit of a twist. I booked a table online and asked for a quiet table as it was my wife's birthday and we wanted to be able to chat. The good stuff: the fresh fish is all on display so you can chose exactly what you want to. This is great if you are out with children so that they can get involved. I liked the open plan restaurant and kitchen so it has an informal feel. It is not smart decor, more urban contemporary with rough edges. I chose Hampshire trout which was lovely. My wife had seared tuna which was also very good. The salsa verde was very good and freshly made. When I asked for the bill, they clearly noticed it was my wife's birthday and brought a complimentary glass of fizz: that's kind. Less good were the following things. We had a table right in the middle of the restaurant so got knocked by passing people and waiters. They seem to have crammed quite a few tables in. Fine for Wagamama, but less so for good dining. The decor does not dampen sound so the hoped-for conversation was not as easy as we had hoped. £5 for a portion of fries seems pretty steep by anyone's standard. My salmon ceviche had plenty of raw onion in it which is far too strong a flavour to go with delicate salmon. The waiter was about 17-18 years old and had too many tables to deal with so service was pretty poor. All the more annoying then to find a 12.5% 'optional' service charge was listed (which I would not have paid) but when the card machine was presented it had the service charge included. I did not want to quibble the bill in front of my wife as it was a birthday treat, but this is pretty poor. In summary, they do some things well but fall short on others. The bill for two cocktails, starters and mains with two glasses of wine, came to over £100 which I would say is too much for the overall quality of service and food. Good, but no cigar.

A great fish restaurant with fantastic service. All of our dishes were perfectly cooked and presented. The Manager overhead it was my birthday and the waitresses brought my dessert with a candle and said it would be free which was a lovely gesture.

Great restaurant - especially with my Tastecard! I asked for a rare steak and it was barely medium but the manager replaced it without any fuss and would have replaced our sides too. The meal was good, the staff were great. It was a Tuesday night and still busy - in fact got a bit loud by the time we left at 10:15pm. Would definitely go back and would recommend to others.

Amazing steak. Excellent charcuterie. Music too loud. In the toilet, for some reason, they were playing the audiobook of Michael McIntyre's autobiography. That is a serious crime and they lost a mark for it. I went for a wee and felt really sad about the whole experience, then I had a delicious dessert and felt better. Tough. I would go again but would definitely try to not wee.
