Followed by a summer stone fruit salad. Then, a crispy soft shell crab over red pepper seafood risotto with sugar snap peas and a tomato basil sauce as the entrée. Finally, finished off with a berry delight for dessert. Whatever you order, expect it to be fresh and pricey. A romantic dinner for two could easily run over $100 at Mark's American Cuisine.
To ensure your romantic dinner is memorable for the right reasons, not the wrong ones, plan ahead. Make your reservations several weeks in advance. Ask to be seated in the dining area they refer to as The Cloisters. Because of its popularity, you should be prepared for the possibility of a long wait at Mark's American Cuisine even with a reservation. Making your reservations for a week night or a late romantic dinner is the best way to get seated promptly. If you are planning your romantic dinner for a special occasion, such as a wedding anniversary, do not be shy to let them know that. Sometimes they will try a little harder to ensure your night goes well for special occasions. There are no guarantees of course, but it does not hurt to mention it. With that said, do not expect to be pampered at Mark's American Cuisine. The wait staff is very professional, but has a tendency to be somewhat too snobbish for some people's taste.
