5 /5 Mark Perry: This is a unique gem. A big city experience in our little community. Forget the 4.3 rating. The reviews go back at least 11 years and most are no longer relevant. You need to get here while the Jasmine garden in the secluded and quiet, covered, open air patio is still in bloom. The sensory experience is unforgettable! You will even enjoy this while it’s raining.
The Mark is now a sophisticated cocktail bar, with luxuriant real wood wall paneling, genuine leather seating, a beautiful and well stocked bar, real art and bits of humor and history make touring the walls, drink in hand, a moment worth repeating.
The pizza is the real thing, think Rome, not Chicago. You can cut the chef’s accent with a knife. and do hope he’s parked his 63 Porsche out front.
Yes, you do have to walk to and from the bar for your order, and pay cash (there a $2 ATM). But that bit of effort earns you excellent drinks, fairly poured, reasonably priced. And for us extreme radicals who get our cash from the credit union we help the owner behind the bar, who created this evening refuge for us, stiff the banks.
I love this place. Let’s keep it.
