Stuffy and for old people

by yahoo99 at Citysearch

This place is good and has an exceptional wine list. However, it is stuffy and for old people. Not really a happy hopping place. It's quiet and bright. I hate bright restaurants.

Still not worth it!

If you don't mind waiting 30+ minutes for your table (with a reservation) and having to make that reservation 2 weeks in advance, go to Mark's. If you'd rather be seated at the time you made the reservation for and can call 2-3 days in advance to make the reservation without getting some snooty attitude telling you they're booked, go just about anywhere else in Houston. They're not the only game in town and hopefully they'll figure that out soon. Their food is great, but so are ALOT of other restaurants in the city, and they're popping up all over the place.

• Pros: food, ambiance
• Cons: service, wait, attitude

TOP 10 DINING EXPERIENCE

by yummy at Citysearch

This rates in our top 10 dining experiences in all of the cities we've visited. Definitely one of the tops in Houston. We went for lunch in order to make it a bit more affordable. Our drinks were spectacular, the appetizer of assorted tomatoes was unbelievable and our meals (fish special and pecan chicken) were exceedingly flavorful. We had a fresh cherry dessert that made great use of this in season fruit. The service matched the wonderful quality of the food. The decor and atmoshpere were intimate without being dark. We will definitely be back to sample the other tempting menu items.

• Pros: Amazing Specials, Quality of food, Service

THE WORST

by conciergereview at Citysearch

I cannot belive the high marks that Mark's gets!!! The people who work here are completely incompetent!! The staff that works the phones should take some reading lessons- that way when they take a reservation and then confirm it, when the party walks in there would be no reason to say they have no idea where the table is and that they use several different books to take reservations! ABSOLUTE NONSENCE!!!

Great Food, Great Service, Great Wine!

by Glenn at Citysearch

I ate at this restaurant last night and what an experience! The waiter was extremely knowlegdgable and made excellent recommendations on both the food and wine. If you have a special occasion coming up, go here. I am coming back to Houston just to go to this restaurant.

• Pros: Food, Wine list, Service
