    Very tasty hot chocolate
    Whitney D.

    I have not been inside The Mark bar ever until today to pay for my hot chocolate. It's very pretty inside! They Have a cart outside that sells Hot dogs, chicken and Hot chocolate with a Chocolate Marshmallow YUM! The Hot chocolate itself was rich and very good! Just the way I like it. The marshmallow melted too quick before I could try it but, I am pretty sure it added more of a chocolate taste to it. 100% recommend trying The Mark Hot Cocoa!!! The service was fine the guy and lady helping were nice.

    We had a fantastic Brunch at the Mark Bar! The food & drink are always incredible but the bartender, Vlad, is amazing! We enjoyed pastries, the eggs Benedict, Croque Madame, hot dog, ginger margarita, and the salted caramel sundae. Vlad really took care of us with his great service, wonderful fun personality and attention to detail. He is a real star over there and gave us a little goody bag before we left. My husband and I look forward to returning again!

    This is my second visit to the mark. Every time I end up comming here, I always find myself being the akward person that is just looking around in all directions. There is just so much to take in. It's got such a beautiful elegant design. I can't help but to sit and just admire it all. There is deffinatly a good mix of people in the bar. If you've just been out for dinner or are out on a date or hanging out with glfriends, its a great place to end the night. The ambience is mellow. Not wild and crazy like most places in nyc. You can actually hear people talk here. It's lounge style so I would deffinatly recommend getting a little dressier for the occasion. The servers are extremley friendly and approchable as well as the bartenders. I can deffinatlyee myself comming back many times and bringing all of my friends here. It's always a great time!

    If you are into cougars and Eurotrash this is the place. Don't get me wrong I actually liked this hideaway but my Midwestern sensibilities were in code orange. And of course because I'm kinda' a snarky a-hole and drinking is involved don't expect me to play well with others. I had a friend in from out of town and the crew wanted to go somewhere 'nice'. I'm not sure if a jacket is required at this place but it seems the wait staff is sporting Turnbull & Asser so at least make an effort. The bar is located just inside the lobby of the Mark Hotel. A very nice artsy spot, a tad small but interesting. Our waitress was a young model type. I don't remember her name but she was quick and pleasant. I had a few normal Mojitos. She offered berry and kumkwat Mojitos too (really). These types of drinks are for housewives from Des Moines or Topeka, not jaded permanently uncomfortable alcoholics like myself. So the regular Mojito it was and it was fine. The real treat here is watching the crowd. I have a simple mantra, "you can do or be anything you want but I have the right to make fun of you.." In school they called it 'insubordination'. I called it dealing with the ebb and flow of arbitrary dictoms common in public education. Mom called it "the problem". Anyway.. As I was sitting on my little chair, patterned in a faux Holstein motif, sipping my Mojito I was surprised by the amount of euro-trash that had washed up. The guys are super tanned wearing stomach hugging shirts, top few buttons undone, tight white jeans fresh off the jet from Ibiza or Majorca. The women were a tad older (40+) dressed in natural linens and colorful accessories suggesting past nights in Tunisia or Marrakesh. Sprinkle in a few trophy wives and their older balder mates and a few Tom Wolfe look a-likes and you get the general idea. To be fair there were a few cute girls dressed for the 'night out'. Very nice. So, If you are looking for a quaint stylish spot to have a few well made drinks, this might be a good place to start. The Bar area is kinda' small so if it is too crowded, Bemelmans Bar is only a few feet away.

The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.

We jumped over to the bar right beside and drank some girly drinks before getting the notification our table was ready. As with nearly every establishment in NYC, it is very close quarters in paradise lost. We stood at a table while waiting for seats at the bar to become available. Which, we didn't mind. I could see how this might be a little harder to get a seat for a bigger group if you aren't there before 6. It seemed that once a group got a big table, they camped out. The drinks were strong and creative. Friendly bartenders, good music, and yummy options for bar snacks. Also, the bathroom is a nice touch. Given the hell theming for the bar, the bathroom is a 180 and while using the Lou, you can listen to the bible being recited. Theres also a spooky surprise if you press the button in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it is at the bottom of some decently narrow stairs. So, try and stay sober enough for stairs or you may fall. Go to this bar. You will have fun.

We wanted to have after-dinner cocktails in a chill space, so we searched on our phones & saw Paradise Lost address via Google. We proceeded to walk down & was unable to find the establishment due to their being no front sign. After walking back & forth a few times, we saw another group walking towards the door & they confirmed the place. We walked inside the front door pressed a "doorbell" & lo & behold we gained entry after the previous group went inside. Definitely an incognito entrance. Once inside that door there is someone to greet you, & take your information. There is a forest/ grass/ jungle-looking foyer/ hallway we walked down to get to the next door. Before we knew it, we were near the "Paradise Lost No Vacancy" neon sign w/ an arrow pointing towards the snake-shaped knob door. It gets opened & a supercool speakeasy awaits.... Paradise Lost has mixed style table / seating arrangements throughout the place. A bar seating section, booth-style seating area, lounge- style seating area, etc. We got there a little after 7pm, so the afterwork crowd was in full swing. Paradise Lost has interesting atmosphere. At times a Gothic / Medieval Vibe, meets place w/ shipwreck decor, meets eleganct /club vibe w/ beautiful ceiling lighting, etc. Music played in the background. Staff are friendly, energetic, & attentive. We were pleasantly overwhelmed w/ the vast selection of tiki cocktails that were on the menu. Paradise Lost also have an intimate selection of snacks/ food menu items. This included Popcorn, Tater Tots, Devilled Eggs Rangoon Dip, etc. We ordered some cocktails served in unique tiki mugs & a bucket of popcorn to munch on w/ our drinks. The popcorn is flavored w/ Sea Buckthorn & Browm Butter, which gave it an special flavor profile. Our cocktails were well-prepared & nice & strong. Paradise Lost has individual unisex bathroom stalls & a communal vanity & sink area. The bathroom stalls have spooky voices coming from a speaker as you use the bathroom. I was so humorously taken aback, it had me laughing when I came out...Definitely a different thing to experience in the bathroom - lol. Before we left we watched one of the bartenders do a cocktail "fire" presentation for some patrons in a booth seated area. Wow.... Paradise Lost accepts walk-ins only, no reservations. Paradise Lost accepts groups of 8 or less, unless you are requesting to book the space for a private event. Ages 21+ paradiselost.nyc @paradiselostnyc Paradise Lost is open everyday - 5pm-2am.

My cheese in the trap was smokey (as promised!) and alcohol forward. My hubby had the Jung cocktail and it had the most magical, delicious combination of flavors! We also ordered a foie gras with toast appetizer as a pre-dinner snack; it was OK. All in all, a really pleasant experience and we'd return if we were in the area again!

Service - Lacking and unattentive - waited a period of time for the main waitress to approach. No eye contact, so a bit hard to get their attention /service. The helper was friendlier but unable to help, attempt to move us to a bigger table next to us, but the main waitress came and told us it was reserved, so we were denied- thought it was reserved for a bigger party, but it was reserved for 2 ppl too. The waitress can exchange the table for us before the reservation ppl arrive but choose not too, customer service was definitely lacking. Especially the restuarant was not that busy (they had time standing around). Food - we ordered the afternoon tea set for each person. the setting was presentable, it taken alot of space on the table but it was just regular egg, salmon and cucumber sandwich, scones, macarons, and some other sweets with berries and grapes nothing special about it, no signature monologs or any specialty. The tea pot set was pretty but the tea bag were regular tea bag, there is no hot water refill once you finished, need to pay $10 extra for new tea pot. Starbucks coffee is cheaper!
