   Great new menu, everyone in our party was very happy with their meals. The decor and ambiance are very nice. The service could have been a little better on this occasion. The server was very pleasant but seemed to get lost a few times and never brought an ice bucket for our champagne and didn't return when we requested a box for some left overs - we had to get up and ask someone else to bring us one. It may have been due to an Elon dinner in another room (because neither the regular bar or restaurant area seemed overly busy) but I am just guessing.

   Very impressed with everything, especially the food, which in our case was breakfast/brunch. Prices were good also compare to other places of similar standing.

   The ambience is great! Service is phenomenal. Only issue is with the food. There were 5 of us and of everyone’s meals, only 2 said it was great.

   Restaurant is in a beautiful inn on Elon's campus. Enjoyed everything about it - food and wine, service, ambiance. Would happily go back.

   Ordered a steak that had little to no seasoning. Broccoli was overdone and mashed potatoes were bland. Grateful that the manager at least acknowledged my distaste for my meal.

    We were underwhelmed with The Mark. The service was fair as was the the atmosphere. The food, depending on what you ordered, was not too bad. Overall, it was too expensive for the quality.

    An interesting new experience. Food was excellent as was the service at dinner and breakfast. Servings were quite generous. My wife was not able to finish her selections at dinner or breakfast. Very impressed that the profits from the Inn at Elon are used for student schlorships at Elon University. It's a do over!

    Food was fine, service was excellent. We had strawberry shortcake for dessert and it contained about 3 or 4 strawberries which I thought was sort of cheap for the price. Too much biscuit cake and not enough strawberries. Really needs to be improved. Thanks for allowing me to comment. Bill Oakley 919 697-7698 golfguy1945@earthlink.net

    Our experience at The Mark was very nice. The manager, Devon, and our waitress, Jenna, were great. We have a child with Celiac Disease and they were very responsive to our questions/food concerns. They went out of their way to make sure to keep her safe and offer great options. Highly recommend the restaurant if you want good service and food.

    Very mediocre for what it's presented as. We went for a romantic dinner and got stuffed into a portioned off conference room with bright lightning and a tiny table. Food was just ok. Service wad good.

    The service and ambiance were great. The food’s presentation was great. Unfortunately, the food just didn’t taste great. It was under-seasoned and just ok. It wasn’t bad, just ok. And for the price, we walked away saying it was the most expensive meal we didn’t enjoy. This is an unfortunate problem with “fine dining” in our area that the food has a fine dining price but not fine dining quality. I think this restaurant could tweak a few things and get there…just aren’t there yet.

    The food was expensive but good. Service was simply horrible. It took forever, the server charged the wrong credit cards. What should have taken an hour for a meal approached nearly two. I don't blame the young man who was waiting on us . . . the establishment is clearly understaffed.

    I enjoyed the Orange Blossom craft cocktail last night and my husband had a beer. They were out of my husband’s first choice in beer but the waitress was very knowledgeable in recommending something similar and it tasted great. My main dish was the shrimp and grits with a tasty sauce and my husband had the pork tenderloin with a potato gratin. Overall a very pleasant evening. It was not a 5 star experience because they were slow in taking our order and the waitress also accidentally served the beer to the patrons next to us (wasn’t that busy and she quickly realized her mistake).

    We almost went to The Mark for brunch a while back but decided to save it for a special occasion. We went last night for New Year’s Eve. The restaurant was much smaller than I expected. We immediately noticed that the lighting was VERY bright. There also wasn’t any music playing though there were visible speakers overhead. The lack of music and hard surfaces made all the noises of the bar and other tables very noticeable. It gave us the feeling of being in a library or museum and made us feel like we had to be quiet. We had Ethan as our server. He was also tending the bar so he was always busy, but he was great. The hostess tried to help him by taking our order. I read what I wanted directly from the holiday menu, the bone in 14 oz filet. It was to be accompanied by two paired sides. The hostess asked what I wanted with it and I responded with, “just want it comes with…” and read the side item. I still ended up being served the regular menu filet. Ethan explained that the hostess instructions only said filet. I settled for that and it was very good. We were offered a free dessert for the slow service, as food did take quite a while, and the mix up. We got the Crème Brûlée which was very runny. The custard dripped from the spoon every bite. Overall, the food was very good other than the brûlée. Cocktails were amazing. Atmosphere was odd. Im not sure if it is always like that. We live very close so we will probably give it another chance. The experience just felt like they were scrambling and weren’t at their best.

    great wine selections offered and the martini was the best. The menu offered great choices and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Almost too sterile, so the ambiance could be improved. Maybe a little music.

    Food was excellent!! Service was a tad slow and could be because of the Omicron surge.
