Mark’s American Cuisine
To celebrate Megan getting her first professional architecture job after getting her degree we went out to dinner at Mark’s American Cuisine last night, I had been there once before for lunch with work so I knew it was good but they take things to a whole other level with dinner! If you want both great service and fanrtastic food then Mark’s can’t be beaten!
We were promptly seated, asked what we would like to drink, champagne of course to celebrate and then they let us soak in the atmosphere within th gorgeous building that used to be a church without forcing menu’s on us to detract from the moment as lets face it as soon as you get a menu you become a little dinner hermit and if anything only make small talk about what you are going to order so not ahving the menu’s there was a nice change!
Then we got the menu’s and the wine list, decided on a nice 2002 Zinfandel and promptly had that presented and poured for us, we also got a great description of the chef’s specials with the server obviously intimately knowing the dishes, which is something I always like to see in a restaurant, there is nothing worse than asking something about the menu and having your server have to go ask someone. Dinner was amazing and just after they served it the server again demonstrated his knowledge by describing each part of the meal (I know this might sound a little intrusive but it wasn’t at all and was actually quite refreshing). Dinner was followed by an even better dessert and all in all it was a great evening so I highly recommend Mark’s!
