First and foremost reservation........ reservation.......... reservation!!! Now with that said me and a good foodie friend initially went here to sit at the bar and nosh, on an early after work Friday. Surprisingly the bar was packed and luckily they were able to accommodate us for the restaurant without a reservation seeing as they were fully committed. The staff from the door to the table simply amazing . My girl whom had done the bar once before was on the Cucumber Martinis..... Delish isn't even enough..... All I can say a great light refreshing cocktail year round. What is to be said it was all up hill from there as the crispy chicken samosas were amaze and the crispy octopus was to die for (and if you know me I'm all for a great octopus dish anything preferably grilled). OMG the pan seared scallops....... one word "Heaven" . So basically this was a decadent delectable foodie experience to be had at least twice to maybe three times a year (be prepared to drop a grip.....though worth it but be prepared). So in for a summer rotation. This may become my fav spot. read more

BE CAREFUL: TRIGGER ALERT- RACIST ENVIRONMENT. After having my meal, I told them I would like to pay with Apple Pay. The waiter claimed that a restaurant/hotel like that did not have a wireless payment device (SUCH A BAD JOKE). I was told to wait and in a couple of minutes later, the manager came with the security. The guard told me that I would have 2 options: 1) Pay now 2) He would call the police. I NEVER REFUSED TO PAY ANYTHING. It is not my fault if this place doesn't have modern devices. I was treated like a criminal. The security stayed by my side checking my information and threatening me. I was threatened before trying to pay. After providing all payment details and having my payment approved, no one came to say sorry. They just dropped off the receipt on the table and charged the tip. I felt very angry and complained to the manager. She said sorry but it was very clear how she supports racism in that restaurant. Very disappointing. I hope that this restaurant goes bankrupt and that everyone becomes unemployed so that one day they will learn how to respect people and modernize their business. read more

What a disappointment! Service was awful. Waiter could not be more disinterested. The table was never cleared after appetizers until we wave a bus boy down and we had to put empty glasses on the floor because they were never cleared. Food was average at best.

The Mark Restaurant is located in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, in the luxurious renovated landmark building The Mark Hotel. The restaurant has a modern and sleek design, with dark wood floors and white walls. It is a popular spot for both locals and tourists, and offers a great view of Central Park. The menu is French-inspired and features dishes such as foie gras, steak tartare, and duck confit. The food is high quality and reasonably priced, and the service is attentive and professional. The Mark Restaurant is a great choice for a romantic dinner, special occasion, or business meeting. read more

I was here with my son on Mother's Day weekend. We had a reservation and were excited to dine here. Very disappointing! Service was awful, food mediocre. Waited forever for our entrees then waited another 45 minutes after we were finished eating for our sever to come back... (never checked to make sure our food was okay either). He brought the bill and never even said thank you or anything, practicality threw it back on our table. We were a super easy customer too. Just sorry we left a decent tip. read more

I never go wrong at the Mark. The staff is lovely - last night's sommelier (a young woman from Syria) was right on target with her recommendations and we enjoyed speaking with her about running and travels in the french wine regions. Our waiter Steven was a delight from start to finish - patient when we said we were ready but kept switching our orders, helpful and personable. And of course the meyer lemon fettuccine is like no other! read more

I took two clients here on separate occasions. First time sat in the lounge, seating was so so but the food and drinks were perfect. The truffle pizza was phenomenal. Second time sat in the main dining room. Significantly better. My colleague had the cauliflower. She said it was the best cauliflower she had in NYC. I had the tuna tartar. It was up there. Very fresh. The staff is attentive, and professional. They work hard to make sure you are satisfied. I will be taking more business lunches and dinners there. It is very pricey but you get what you pay for. I got a memorable and refined moment that my clients will remember for a long time. read more

The Mark is a beautiful restaurant with great food! The restaurant has many of the components to make up a five-star experience, however, it fell a bit short for me. Don't get me wrong, I certainly enjoyed myself, it just felt like something was missing, primarily in the service department. The food: Definitely the highlight of our visit. The Roasted Maine Lobster over Meyer Lemon Risotto, Basil & Caramelized Fennel was an explosion of phenomenal flavor. I definitely recommend this entree! I also recommend the Tuna Tartare with Avocado & Ginger appetizer. For dessert, definitely the Butterscotch Pudding. The atmosphere: Modern and upscale, very professional. The service: Here is where I was unimpressed, and why I docked a star from an otherwise flawless evening. The servers all seemed to be somewhat unhappy and standoffish. I was confused, because service is usually impeccable at restaurants like The Mark. I frequently visit equivalently priced and higher-rated restaurants where the servers are gregarious and welcoming. It almost felt like the employees were directed to exude a certain image. I can understand that some people might like that, but I did not. A server's friendliness can really add a lot to an already exceptional meal. Aside from the impersonal service, The Mark would be a great place to go on a date night or celebratory evening. I probably will not return any time soon, but the food is definitely delicious. read more

What an excellent meal we had! Our very good friends had a baby and an addition to our collective family, and after visiting hours were over- we needed to get a bite to eat. We secured some ressies for 9:30 and we got a great seat with an awesome view of the restaurant. Service was impeccable and it seems that all who worked at the restaurant that night, waited on us. Glasses cleaned and plates cleared, everything went tremendously. The food was excellent but the service was even better. Everything on the menu was served with love and the presentation was also perfect. read more

The service was absolutely one of a kind. From the moment you walk in, it's white glove service. The food is delightful. We did a delayed valentines/ anniversary dinner and they brought us 3 plates of desserts with hearts and we only ordered one. Compliments of the chef and to help us celebrate. You are not coming here to budget. It's an extremely high end restaurant, very high end clientele, and very much somewhere for those who can spend and want to enjoy the finer things in life. The lamb chops, the steak, the risotto w black truffle, all were absolutely impeccable. Thank you for being so thoughtful and caring to make this one of the best nights of my life! read more

I ate in their outdoor setup for dinner and it was such a great experience. They are very COVID conscious and had plenty of heaters. The service was great and attentive and I really enjoyed all of the food. I had a squash soup which had great flavor but was a little cold by the time it arrived. However, I totally understand that given the outdoor dining set up. I really enjoyed the crispy salmon sushi and the slow cooked salmon. The sides that came with the salmon were very tasty and it was a generous portion. I am excited to come back and try even more from the menu! read more

This is a review for the indoor Bar seating area at lunchtime. Whoever is the manager/owner of this hotel obviously doesn't read or care about reviews because my experience was the same as so many of the previous posts. Very disappointing. Overpriced food and cocktails and poor service. Underwhelming. At times I felt awkward and uncomfortable especially when walking through lobby. The 2 stars are for the hotel design which is super cool. Our table, for the 2 of us, was so small I had to eat my food on my lap and put one drink on the floor, yet the table had seating for 5. The photo is my expensive Frosé. Tasted great but served in a cheap glass with a plastic straw. One frozen raspberry. Sums up the hotel experience. Just misses the Mark. Thank goodness we hadn't booked a room and wasted a larger amount of money. Best to head few blocks to 56th St and eat/stay at The Whitby Hotel. . read more

I cannot complain about The Mark Restaurant. I love this place. Every time I've ever went it has always been top notch service. The other night two other girlfriends and I ventured over last minute for dinner after an event. We were seated immediately. The Scallops are a big hit with me followed by the lamb chops. The wine list offers a wide variety. Our table shared a bottle of Sancerre. If you venture to the Mark you're coming simply because the food is solid, you want to be seen, and most likely catching up with old friends. This is a restaurant for the Bu2FuL & creative people in the universe. Plus everything seems to always fall in place. Your every need or want will be anticipated. read more

Jean Georges does it again! Did I mention that I'm a big big big big big fan of his?!? Bf and I had the pleasure of celebrating our 8 year anniversary at The Mark Restaurant by Jean Georges in the Upper East Side. We came here for a late Sunday brunch. What I love about Jean Georges restaurants is that the quality of the food, taste, ambiance, service, and reasonable prices. I have no problem spending the money at his restaurants because I know it's worth every penny. Time Out Magazine describes The Mark Restaurant as "an upscale hybrid of a bistro and a diner, featuring a high-low mishmash of the sort of food Vongerichten's been serving for years at Mercer Kitchen, Perry Street, JoJo and Vong." That's my kind of deal!! http://newyork.timeout.com/articles/restaurants-bars/84588/the-mark-upper-east-side-restaurant-review#ixzz0lVyvbZVp Now onto the food - we ordered the following: 1) Kumamoto Raw Oysters - very fresh & sweet; I have to compliment the great skill in shucking oysters. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNC4kI9Md0Csd6zqr3oeFw?select=X_7WpuEQQSSCV5Cbv7rDwQ 2) Sweet Pea Soup (with Parmesan Foam) - very good; strong sweet pea flavor http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNC4kI9Md0Csd6zqr3oeFw?select=hRW5dv3I2eo3Qi5-pMAXlg 3) Smoked Salmon Pizza (with Everything Crust) - I can't even begin to describe except SCRUMPTIOUS!! Look at the picture, and you'll see what I mean. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNC4kI9Md0Csd6zqr3oeFw?select=TxUcDDFt45EQY1TdrvY6_g 4) Veal Milanese with Green Beans, Shallots, & Herbs - I wasn't expecting it to be fried since I don't really eat fried foods, but this was a very pleasant surprise. The breading was amazingly thin. I could tell it was fried in fresh oil because the veal wasn't heavy at all. Delish! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNC4kI9Md0Csd6zqr3oeFw?select=TjXr1f2ddRQwPsiQ_IP9-A 5) Softly Scrambled Eggs with Peekytoe Crab Meat, Tomato, & Basil - this dish tastes exactly as described. I could taste each ingredient individually and how it nicely complements each other. YUM. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNC4kI9Md0Csd6zqr3oeFw?select=tnY5o3dTC47c7-Q6TI2D2A 6) Grand Marnier Souffle - their signature dessert... and it lives up to its hype. Bf and I devoured this in 2 minutes. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNC4kI9Md0Csd6zqr3oeFw?select=6utOe0t8ijhqMDQQmY_ZQA 7) Assorted Cakes & Tarts Special - our lovely waitress brought out a tray and after hearing each description, bf decided to get their Napolean. Flaky with a very very very fluffy whipped cream. There was a very nice strawberry sauce to go with it. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNC4kI9Md0Csd6zqr3oeFw?select=zNaelXo1dBzzkg8pnsBuWw For drinks, bf ordered Bloody Marys, and I got a Calamansi (Southeast Asian Lime) soda as well as Blood Orange Mimosas. The Bloody Mary here is different that Nougatine at Jean Georges. The Bloody Mary here is very well blended with fresh capers. The only complaint bf had was about the celery stalks - one of them was stringy and not fresh & crunchy, which is very minor detail. Overall, a wonderful meal. The dishes & desserts were executed flawlessly. Food quality & taste was worth every penny. Thank you for the very enjoyable experience! read more

Pretty fancy place but food and service doesn't match up to the vibe. Probably spent a total of about 2 hours sitting and dining here with only 1 hr 15 minutes of that actually dining the rest was waiting for service. When we arrived - we had one waiter who didn't show up to wait us the latter portion of our dine and we had to ask busboys/other waiters to take our order...it also took about 15-20 minutes for one order of coffee to come out. The food was not great either for the price, I got the pizza which was burnt on the crust as well as there was barely any pizza itself. It kind of collapsed upon itself when I tried to even pick it up and ended up having to use my fork to scoop it up and eat it. The mashed potatoes were surprisingly good so I'd eat that again, probably alone. The ginger margarita wasn't very gingery to me and wasn't strong either. The service was the worst part of the experience which garnered the low rating otherwise I'd probably give it a 2.5-3 stars. read more

Cute, dainty restaurant in The Mark Hotel. I thought I'd grab lunch here while I waited for my nephew to be released from school. Greeting: Finding the hostess was def a chore. You might want to walk to the entrance of the hotel located on 77th. Look for the person(s) with the iPad. When I finally found them there was a line of people waiting, so I waited on the line. After the persons in front of me were approached, I thought I would have been approached next. To my surprise I was not, instead the hostess just sort of stared into their iPads for about two minutes. When I realized they weren't going to greet me I decided to say "hi party of 1". I'll assume my darker skin gave them the impression that I was not eating there. Server: I was seated at the table closest to the hotel entrance, next to the hot dog cart. I was seated at 1:15 I was approached at 3:22 by a server he asked me if I would like to start with water. ( I don't think he was the server but noticed that I had been sitting there ) The hostess would bring the menu after. Archie stays and continues serving me and he is exceptional. He would later tell me he's only been there for three days and he is shadowing someone. Just by greeting me when no one else did he did well!! Food: I had the Salmon Sashimi and the Caesar salad. Both were edible. I think I've had better ( check out Milos for great service & sashimi ) I will not return to this restaurant. I intend on going into spaces where people like me are accepted and received. read more

Brunch at the Mark: The very 1st time we went, we missed brunch by half an hour and they were already getting ready for dinner. So, for the 2nd time, I made sure we were on time. If you go for brunch, so should you! Croque M: My reason for the 2 attempts to the upper east side. What a classic brunch dish. Their béchamel sauce was cheesy and just right. The whole thing sticks together and doesn't fall apart when you dig into it. Very unique how they top it off with quail eggs! Though I love the big messiness of a yolky chicken egg, this was nice and before long you realize you belong to the clean plate club. The space: Stylish enough to suit generally anyone with elegant service. Made for a decent experience. read more

We both wanted pizza. When we tried to order we were told restaurant was not making pizzas on that day. So disappointed. Server was new. Dirty jacket but kind and courteous demeanor. Peekytoe crab cake was a disappointment. Nothing like the peekytoe serves at 1central Park W. The crispy octopus salad was dry and dull. Thank goodness for the fennel which brought some taste to the sad octopus. Hibachi salad was a disappointment. Black truffle burger- nothing to write home about. Fries were way too salty and soggy. Extensive wine and cocktail list. Bread was delicious and fresh and the the butter well balanced with ratio of creamy & salt. Cappuccino was good and the cookies were warm, chewy and delicious. What an extreme difference between 1cpw and the mark. If you're looking for a true Jean-Georges experience please opt for 1 Central Park West. Will never return. read more

The place was beautiful, that's the end of the good i have to say about this place. I have family members in the restaurant and food service industry and as is customary for me I bring a small pack of beers for the staff in the kitchen. I then was seated, I was offered drinks which I received. Then I waited about an hour for someone to return to and no one ever did. I had to stand up and walk over to the gentleman who got me the drinks and ask hey what happened? he then had a attitude about me questioning and said there was a problem with some sort of computer system. I said well that wouldn't affect someone coming and taking our order or getting us a second drink. He then had an attitude again and got us more drinks. The food then took exceptionally long once again but it being my wedding anniversary I didn't want to fuss. I then asked again hey what's up with the food the server then he sent someone else to me. The food then arrived cold and outrageously salty like uncomfortably salty. So I finally gave up and said hey I just want to leave. The new server asked if I wanted the food to go and I said no it was really not good but I appreciate the check so I can pay and go. The server then took it upon himself to have the manager come speak to us. I explained what happened and the issue with the service and the food and she was asking if I wanted to return another day and try again. I said I appreciate the offer but I didn't enjoy the experience I don't want to get anyone in trouble so I want to pay and leave, she then apologized and didn't make me pay for the meal. Maybe I just had a bad server on a ad night in the kitchen but it was not a good experience on any level but the manager was very understanding even complimenting me for brining the beer for the kitchen staff. read more

I'm a big fan of JG. But my last meal was sub par at best. Slow service, a steak that couldn't be cut with a laser and cold potatoes. I paid my $250 bill for ONE person and left.

Let me start by saying I was not expecting a bargain when my husband and I ended up here for dinner one night.

Came here on a date with myself. It was 2pm, and the restaurant was pretty empty because it was a weird time. They sat me at a table right near the kitchen door, but it was also near the computer where they handled the bills, so there was a woman standing there the whole time, a foot away from me, 2 steps higher than me. It was like she was looking down on me as I sat there and was very odd, especially since there were SO many empty tables. I asked if I could sit literally anywhere else and they happily obliged. I ordered a glass of a lovely Grüner and ordered the tuna tartare appetizer. It was served atop avocado and had a ginger sauce that was delicious. Spicy radish on top. Nice dish. Then I ordered the black truffle fontina pizza which was unbelievable. I didn't finish it and asked if they could wrap it up - it was in a beautiful shopping bag from the hotel!!! Service was good, albeit slow. I get that they don't want to rush their guests, and maybe they were prepping for dinner. The restrooms are upstairs (in the hotel) and smelled of lemon verbena. So yum. read more

Second review in a year. Worst run hotel restaurant in nyc I truly can't believe jean George allows his name attached. A bartender at bar in the restaurant refused to serve me late lunch even though they were fairly busy.

As much as a like this place i sad to say I definitely wouldn't recommend going here. The lady that was serving us decided to change my tip from 20% to 30% without my knowledge. And the only way I found out was my bank notified me through email to confirm because I typically and always tip 20%. I brought it up to the manager they seemed unfazed and change it back to 20 as If this happens all the time. My friend who owns Michelin star restaurants always tell me to keep my receipts and statements because this is common in the restaurant and industry. I just didn't expect it from the mark. What's even more scary is the restaurants typical customers are elders, so I can only imagine how many people are getting scam with this. read more
