9. The Black Thorn

Limited but great vegetarian options ($11 'high protein' salad), portions are perfectly sized (small enough to be presentable, large enough to satisfy). Sufficient wine list. Front patio is good - atmosphere on back patio appears to be VERY nice (looking onto scenic courtyard, but was VERY busy on a Saturday night). Location is convenient and in classiest end of the Market, but Blackthorn still maintains a refreshing casual element. Prices are reasonable considering the area. Service was a solid "good", providing personality, honesty and a caring touch - although 4-5 glasses were broken within 90 minutes and a guest was slightly splashed with water! Recommended for a summer night on the back patio with a light meal and glass of wine.

Food and decor are great...very chill atmosphere but still classy. However beware, some wait staff have attitude...
