As a forever fan of the fancy lunch, the Mark may be one of the best. Tucked in the back of the Mark Hotel with a glorious atrium ceiling lies this spot which is perfect for any celebratory occasion or if you just want to splurge. We did both.
My starter was a tuna tartar delicately placed on homemade potato chips topped with chive oil. Something about sushi and potato chips is just a winning combination. You can definitely indulge on raw bar or caviar. Even a simple salad here is exquisite. Try the kale.
The burger sang to me. The Mark Cheeseburger is made complete with Brie and black truffle dressing. Is it decadent? Yes. Is it rich? Yes. Should you order it? Yes.
Frankly, I'm not sure why you should order anything else. JB and I each had one.
Yes, we tried some sides. Fries were crispy and well-salted. Asparagus had the right amount of snap. Mashed potatoes were creamy and buttery.
Other food was had - salmon, pasta, frittata and, obviously, key lime pie. But the burger was the star.
Keep shining.
Until our next Berger,
