| - We were looking for a new place to have brunch this morning. For me, that means breakfast food at lunch time, not some buffet serving squiggly seafood. Luckily, Mark's serves breakfast all day.
The hollandaise and Eggs Benedict were mentioned highly and were part of the reason we decided on this place. By my count there were 9 versions of Eggs Benedict, and they are so accommodating, you could probably get any combination you preferred. Did I mention accommodating? Excellent service, family owned business where everyone seems to have a vested interest in the business.
I must say I was hesitant to order anything with the hollandaise, because I make a really good hollandaise, and usually I'm disappointed with the sauce anywhere. I must say this is a very close second to my own sauce, and the best at any restaurant in memory. We tried the Irish, French, and Neptune EB. The hash on the EB, was some of the best at any restaurant, I did think however that the heavier taste of the hash, overwhelmed the light lemony flavor of the hollandaise. It was good, I nearly licked the plate, but I'm not sure it highlighted two good ingredients into greatness. My recommendation would be to start with the plain hollandaise, and work your way from there.
I also ordered a Banana Pecan Waffle. This had fresh sliced banana cooked in a cinnamon syrup. For some reason, I had pictured more like a banana nut bread waffle, not a regular waffle with banana and nuts in top. That was my misconception. I enjoyed the waffle and brought the last quarter home for a snack later. The syrup that the banana and pecans are cooked has quite a bit of cinnamon. It reminded me of the sticky sugar created when you make cinnamon rolls.
Of note, they offer many flavor combinations of tea and coffee. I had the iced ginger peach tea. It was really refreshing and flavorful and they give you a cup to go if you ask. My son had the Irish Cream coffee. I could smell the vanilla and Carmel notes of the coffee.
Some of the other Yelpers mentioned Christian music, I didn't notice any music, or it wasn't blatantly playing. But really, does it matter? If the food is good enough (it is) I wouldn't care if they were playing monk chants. In looking for a restaurant on Yelp, someone else was complaining about the Metal being played at another establishment. Proof you can't please everyone. It is a small place, I wouldnt recommend large parties without giving them some warning.
