Reviews for The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges in New York, NY
Actually ZERO stars. We had dinner at the Mark a couple of months ago and we were beyond disappointed. So much in fact that I... didn't even want to wast my time writing a review! But I just received an email from the restaurant group asking us to trytheir other locations, which compelled me to write this review. First the good. The service was excellent and the calamari wastasty. Now the bad. The rest of the food both in quality and preparation was abysmal. We started with a salad -- couldn't bemore pedestrian. No thought, just some lettuce and other things tossed together. For the main course, we ordered a burger. Hard to screw that up -- think again. The bun was far bigger than the burger and the burger, what we could see of it, lackedany taste. I mean come on, you cant get the bun to burger ratio correct! Burger 101. We then had the fish. It was Luke warmwith no thought of presentation. Add a few drinks and some coffee and the bill was $400! We were there for her birthday so wejust let it slide. Do yourself a favor, stop going to these "company owned" and frequent the local one off restaurant that isstill owned by a family. If Jean George saw the quality food that was served to us he would have fired the whole of thesefolks. Now I'm done Read more
I had been coming to the Mark before Covid and it was always good but I was a bit hesitant to return again due to all of the... negative reviews. I am so happy I came back! We were seated right away, a bit before our reservation time. The service from thehostess and waiters was friendly and prompt ! We had the seafood tower and everything tasted very fresh. The salmon crispy ricewere great, the pasta was delicious and the drinks strong. We finished everything off with the grand marnier soufflé and it wasthe perfect way to end the meal. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon and add this restaurant to my regular rotationsagain. Read more
I was very disappointed to see so many negative reviews about this restaurant, especially when my personal experience couldn’t... be further from them! Maybe this is because many of them are breakfast/brunch and not dinner. I had such an exceptional meal atThe Mark Restaurant. The service was slightly slow at times, but this is because the restaurant was incredibly busy and therewas probably not enough staff to allow for this. The atmosphere was wonderful. The bread to begin with was fresh. There was alarge selection available on the menu for all tastes. I throughly enjoyed my main course of the endive salad and well cookedharicots verts. My fellow diners also enjoyed their steak and salad. Most of all, I found the quality of the desserts to beunbelievable. I was able to try both the warm chocolate cake and the fabulous grand manier soufflé. Both of which were veryfreshly made and I would highly recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth. Overall, a fantastic experience. I look forward toreturning. Read more
Fabulous dinner - the food was quite tasty, very fresh and uniquely prepared. The dessert (I got the profiteroles) was to die... for. Drinks were good, though somewhat overpriced for quality. Servers were attentive and friendly but not overbearing. Will beback. Read more

The service was excellent. Hamid, our server, was especially wonderful. He overheard that it was my friend’s birthday and... wrote “happy birthday” on the plate in beautiful chocolate script. He also gave us a dessert and water bottle on the house. Read more
I had a fabulous brunch a few days ago at the Mark Restaurant! All the staffs were friendly and nice, service was on point. I... thought menu was plain but it was all absolutely scrumptious. Most of all, french toast stands out and I am definitely comingback for this :) Read more
I was surprised to see such low ratings of a Jean-Georges restaurant, but they're right on. The food is mediocre to fine. The... chickpea fries are especially bland. Even the bread isn't that great. And of course the prices are eye watering. You can havea much better meal just about anywhere for a quarter of the price! Read more
