| - Chef Marc's consistently exceeds the 5 star mark! I had a stellar lunch here a few months back and BF had been wanting to try Chef Marc's for dinner because he had read a yelp about the Chef's Table menu. I had worried about the dinner atmosphere and being rushed because the place isn't overly large. I gladly admit that I couldn't have been more wrong. We arrived a couple minutes early for our Saturday night dinner reservation and were immediately seated. This place was hopping, so reservations are recommended. To our delight Diane, our delightful star server from our previous visit was working!
We brought a special bottle of wine that we had been waiting to enjoy for quite a while. They only charge a $10 corkage fee and welcome you to bring your own if you wish.
Alright now here's where it gets really good! Enter the four course Chef's Table menu; it's not a menu per say, as it's 100% unique to every customer's palate. It's more of a concept. When we told our server that we wanted to try the the Chef's Table she asked us for our preferences, food allergies, etc. Chef Marc takes this info and hand picks 4 courses meant to please your taste buds. At $50pp with optional $20 wine pairings, it's such a steal. It's nothing like many strip restaurants where 4 courses = 4 bites. This is the highest quality food with generous portions. If you already know that you want to try the Chef's Table, go ahead and let them know when you make your reservation to save some time, otherwise it takes a little longer than ordering from the regular menu.
First course we were treated to a seared octopus salad with green apples, carrots, celery, and chickpeas. This was my favorite dish of the night. The octopus had been marinated, which made it extremely tender and completely infused with flavor. Since we brought our own wine, we didn't opt to do the parings. They are so thoughtful that brought us a small glass of Chenin blanc to have with the octopus, as the wine we brought wasn't ideal with this dish.
Second course we enjoyed pappardelle pasta with olive oil, sauteed mushrooms, and thick generous chunks of prosciutto. If I had this to do over, I might have saved half of my pasta to bring home, because it is extra filling.
Third course entrees - #1 was grouper with ratatouille and broccolini. #2 Veal saltimbocca. Both were delicious!
Fourth course was rum cake, choc cake with raspberry sauce, the most delicious canoli ever, and fresh strawberries and blackberries. Per our request they happily prepared it in a to go box for us.
This is a wonderful date spot that I can't recommend enough. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and the food is absolute perfection.
