Amazing food and experienced servers. The prices are astronomical, but I wasn't paying so this does not factor into my review. Go to McDonald's if you're worried about the check.

Excellent meal and great service. Delicious bone-in filet mignon was available and it was extremely tender and flavorful, and cooked perfectly. We also had an off menu side dish of tempura asparagus with Thai chili sauce and it was amazing. Had a couple of great cocktails to start and had a bottle of Quintessa with dinner

The burger has to be hands down the best burger I have ever had. I highly recommend it!

Best steakhouse in the area by a mile. I eat here for every big occasion i can. Food is always perfection, service is always good and the restaurant is always clean and inviting. Do not waste your money at any other big local steakhouses. This is the only one worth the money!

We celebrated my Wife's 50th here last week. We wanted a memorable experience and got it. They were very accommodating and even had a high chair ready for our 1 year old grandson. Food was excellent. The best steak I've had in a long while. Overall I highly recommend it. We hope to visit again in the near future. Thanks to everyone there!

We thought going to a fine dining steak house it would have been amazing. The steak was very unimpressive, no flavor,tough,not cooked as asked. The sea bass was outstanding! The sides were good, nothing to talk about. Not a bad dining experience, but WAY overpriced for what you get.
As always, fantastic meal and truly amazing service!! We love this place and visit once a month. Typically we sit at the bar for date night but we brought mom and friends so we sat in the dining room. It was quiet and we were able to hold a conversation without yelling. Alicia was our server and she was absolutely amazing! She interacted beautifully with our crew and we just loved her!! Food and drinks were out of this world!! We will see you soon! Highly recommend dining at Mark's.

Marks is our go to restaurant for all occasions, date nights to special birthday/anniversary! From the moment you first walk in the door to the end of your evening Marks will make you glad you were there! We always ask for one of Daniel's tables, he takes care of everything!

Seriously, mediocre at best... the food? Meh. That how ever does not have bearing on how ridiculous it is to get a human on the phone to confirm a reservation (or make one). Have a person ANSWER THE PHONE. I would not have gone at all as I have no tolerance for any place that can not answer a phone.While the price is far lower than a real high end steak house (Charleys - Orlando, Kobe - Tampa, Prime - Vegas)...the quality is also far lower. Unfortunately the lacking quality does not reflect on the total price of the meal (I am NOT unwilling to pay $500 for a steak).Parking is a freaking joke. What is Ocala thinking with the parking situation? Half of the parking garage is empty for a hotel that is also empty. No, your valet can NOT park my car, not for any price. So, when I am in Ocala if I want a good meal I have options, none are on the Square. WEC of course has many good options.Marks strikes me as a place where drug reps try to impress medical staff and folks who save up for a special meal are let down over all. Going forward, I will do my best to not have to go back (including letting the drug reps know that there are better options).
Highly recommend using open table to make a reservation. We were able to make a reservation with ease. We were also able to leave a note which we believe helped better serve us.My husband and I went for our anniversary on January 16th. We were greeted promptly and brought back to our table immediately. Our server was Devin. She was very sweet, helpful and very knowledgeable about the menu. I wanted a drink I didn't see on the menu. She let me know that they had a full bar so they probably could make it. She checked with the bartender and came back quickly to let me know that they could make the drink and would be glad to do so. We ordered the bacon wrapped scallops for the appetizer. We loved it. We both ordered the Delmonico steaks with herb butter. I personally thought the steak was lackluster but the herb butter made it taste better. My husband wasn't a fan of the herb butter. The note we left on open table. Stated my husband had a stroke. (Congenital heart disease.) He wanted a steak but didn't want me to cut his steak on our anniversary. Devin assured us that she read the note and it wasn't a problem. Sure enough the steak was beautifully cut up. We both truly appreciate that. We believe we tipped her well for the service but want to give her recognition. Personally the Lyonnaise potatoes were to crispy. However they would be perfect if paired with spinach dip. We were checked on many times by Devin. She provided exceptional service. A manager even stopped by our table (I think Mike?) to make sure everything was ok. Wonderful service made for a great night.

Our evening was great! It was our 25th anniversary. We had a reservation, and we got right in, a nice booth off the side, and as usual, the food was excellent. We left stuffed. I wish I could remember our hosts name, but he was great. a very enjoyable evening. The valet guys were also top-notch. We will be back.

Really enjoyed our first visit. Great food and service. Parking downtown can be a challenge, but the restaurant was fantastic. It's nice to eat in a place where you can actually have a conversation.

We sat on the bar side in a lovely booth. It was super noisy and the " regulars" were encroaching on our table. Waited 20 minutes for our beverages to be delivered. The food was really good. But $12 for a 12ounce bottle of domestic beer is robbery.
The food was good as usual. The service in the restaurant was good. The valet driver came in during the middle of our dinner, and gave me my keys and told me he was going to go home because the night was slow and that my car was parked on the side of the restaurant somewhere. I thought that was very unprofessional, considering the caliber of restaurant we were in.
