Description: Looking for a romantic dinner spot? Or just want to eat the best food in town? Head straight to Mark’s. You’ll savor each bite beneath gold ceilings and among handpainted deco walls in this renovated 1920s church. Mark’s uses only the freshest ingredients so the menus are seasonal, and there’s a good chance that the list of specials will be even longer than the printed menu. In fact, the specials change throughout the day, depending on what has just arrived from suppliers or just been prepared in the kitchen. Most of the artfully presented dishes here revolve around beef, seafood, or chicken, but you can ask for vegetarian options, too. Whatever you order, save room for dessert like the Coffee Toffee or Homemade Snicker’s Bar. And ask for wine suggestions; the waiters here excel at finding the perfect bottle for the flavors in your meal. Mark’s serves lunch and dinner, although lunch is only served on weekdays.
