The menu was small, and we were excited about the short rib dish. It was okay, but for the price, it was not worth it. It had a cafeteria food quality to it. The server came out to greet us, take the order, drop the food, and drop the check. She did not check in or offer refills. This was an anniversary splurge meal that we were hoping would have been a bit more special. We know for next time,

My Mom wanted to take me out for my birthday. So, I chose The Mark, a place we haven't been before. I wanted a fine dining place and it was just that. Thankyou for a wonderful time

We had Easter brunch at the Mark. The restaurant was very accommodating. The service and food were both excellent. I would return.

Our first time at the Mark. We had Easter brunch here and it was fabulous. Our server, Emma, was super friendly and attentive. The food was very good and the portions were generous.

Outstanding dinner this evening right before seeing the US Navy band play in the Elon Alumni auditorium. Try the butternut squash ravioli with sage and brown butter and capers... It's awesome!

The service and the food at this restaurant are wonderful! I highly recommend it as a local choice for fresh food ingredients and a creative menu.

Went there for our girlfriends Christmas celebration. Be aware, they are Holiday neutral. That's what I was told by staff as to why no Christmas trees were in the place. Poinsettias, wreaths, red ribbons everywhere. If you're "Holiday" neutral, no decorations should have been displayed at all.
On a positive note. The staff was great. Food delicious. Just know that everything listed on the menu is not always available. That has been the case everytime I've been there.

Had reservations for Thanksgiving 2024. Arrived with plenty before reservation to wait behind a party of 3 that had called in earlier and was seated before us. We then had to wait to be seated per staff. Approximately 15 mins later, we were seated. It then took more than 15 more mins for someone to acknowledge us, receive menus and water. Another long wait, for wait staff to take our order, we were notified 2 of the listed side (mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes) were all gone and being substituted (mac & cheese and green beans). Our appetizers came out, 1 calamari and a salad - that was missing 3 of the missing listed components. Entrees came - prime rib was missing horseradish and was cold. The other was missing another side, due to being out of also. Spoke with manager and he stated it was a busy day. Odd, since reservations were "required". For desert, they were out of 3 of the listed, so we decided on bread pudding and souffle. Another long wait and waiter came out with 1 desert, bread pudding. Which was and end\corner cut and cold. The entire experience was terrible. Waiter Tom was great, it wasn't his fault management or lack thereof, doesn't know how to run a so called "up scale" restaurant.
My wife and I had Thanksgiving dinner at the Mark and it was disappointing. Although we had been assured in advance that all items on the special menu would be available when we dined at 4pm, that proved not to be the case. Both the candied yams and the pecan pie had "run out" when we ordered. The turkey was also very disappointing. I asked for dark meat, which was unavailable. The slices of breast meat were apparently from commercial boneless breasts and tasted artificial. While the rest of the meal was satisfactory, overall it was not worth the price.

I really wanted this to go well and like it. Had family come into town and wanted to show them Elon again since my wife and I graduated from there. We got seated at 7:30 and left at 10pm without getting any food beyond 2 appetizers total and 1 drink each that took 1.5 hours to get to us. The waitress we had didn’t even come back to our table for the last 40 mins of our dinner. We had to find another person who told us that the food was coming out in 2 mins. We waited 15 mins more only to not get our food. Beyond that they messed up the 1 drink we ordered by bringing us the wrong drink and said they were out of 3 food options about 1.5 hours into us being there. It looks like any other regular hotel bar with some tables to eat at. Probably a one and done for this Alumni, we aren’t coming back again.

I have to say the service was excellent. The virgin bloody Mary I got was absolutely fantastic and the grits and shrimp that my friend got she loved. However, I got eggs, Benedict and asparagus. The hollandaise sauce was really melted butter, salty very salty. The egg was a hard boiled egg. Both of them and the bacon was bacon and bacon, and it was very, very salty, not sugary as in candied bacon. The asparagus was salty, but I was hungry so I did eat the asparagus. I I was totally surprised. I know to make a good hollandaise sauce. Somebody needs to know what they’re doing, but this was a tragedy. For the atmosphere and the location, I would’ve expected much better

We dined on the patio on a beautiful fall afternoon. The hostess and the server were attentive yet not stifling. The drinks were superb and our lunches were excellent. The presentation was beautiful and the flavors perfect. As we were the only diners on the patio, the sounds of nature were lovely. Highly recommend this restaurant.
