Auction House Market

Wow. So many options from all the different vendors. I went to HappyJaxx and got the lime roast bowl with sweet potato. Just so, so good. Yummy macaroons from Mac+Moon, cute bathroom, and friend was very happy with her meatball sub. Ambient atmosphere with tons of seating. Will be a repeat customer. xx

We headed to Auction House because it was within walking distance from The Roosevelt and we heard they have a great happy hour at Elysian for Oysters. This place has about 6 different vendors surrounding a bar. During Happy Hour they have a nice selection of wines, beers and cocktail on discount. It’s a nice place if you can decide just one type of cuisine and want to order something from each. That’s exactly what we did. The Thai soup with a chicken drumstick was the star but the oyster Rockefeller and marinated crab claws were a close second. They have an empanada vendor, an Indian street food option, ice cream and coffee and much more - all set up in a comfortable open space with bar, couch and small table seating.

If you can't find something you love at any of the wonderful and unique restaurants at this food market you are crazy. My husband and I had a wonderful lunch trying a plethora of the delicious dishes available. You can't go wrong with the empanadas. The service was very speedy, and the atmosphere and decor are light and airy. Made for a great Sunday afternoon of tasty treats.

Hands down easily the best place for raw oysters. Just absolutely delicious!!! Guy shucking oysters was entertaining, giving story on where the oysters came from, why they would be extra sweet this time of year, etc. Really worth trying out!! The Indian food in crepes were ok, but not particularly memorable.

We went to the auction house food market just before noon on Sunday and were pleased to beat the crowd. It feels very upscale inside and is a really trendy atmosphere. The food options were all tempting, and there were items in every price range. The gumbo from the seafood place was decent (the oysters and shrimp in the gumbo were cooked to perfection,) the empanadas were alright, and the cheese dosa was delicious!! Such a fun place to go, especially with a group because there is something for everyone!
