If you like great food in a restaurant that feels like you're in the heat of the action, you will probably like Mark's. Mark's opened up in an original location north of this area and received rave reviews even from Bon Appetit magazine. We had eaten at the northern location and fell in love with this restaurant. When we planned our vacation to SoBe, we were ecstatic to hear of this location, but unfortunately, this was a very different beast, aside from the food. Expect to have your food accompanied by house music, and perhaps loud and drunken clientele seated nearby. It's a bizarre experience unless you're expecting it to have really fine food. I'm talking about sesame seed-encrusted sea bass, fern-frond vegetarian risotto, roasted beet salad with tropical vinagrette, sweetbreads and scallops sauteed in some incredible sauce. The food is fantastic, albeit expensive--there's no denying that. And if you prefer the less pretentious environment of a loud restaurant, you will enjoy this. For me, I like fine dining a little more refined since I don't do it so often. I probably would not return to Mark's despite the great food. Tip: Don't eat there past 9 p.m. They run out of many menu items after that point. Three of the approximately 12 entrees were sold out.
