Saturday, 6/20/20. Excellent experience. Made reservations for 6:30 pm and was seated right on time. I was a bit nervous as this was our first time out dining in four months (pandemic) and we had two birthdays to celebrate. All employees were wearing masks and table positioning was spread farther apart for the social distancing, as well as other precautions, and additional cleaning utilized and noted. That in itself was very reassuring. Our waitress Lisa was very helpful and accommodating and explained any questions we had with the menu. They were very busy, as it was a Saturday night, but we were there for time together, not an eat and go timeline, so not a problem. Appetizers: Artichoke Spinach Dip, and Deep Fried Cheese Curds were delicious. All five of us ordered different dinners with a few changes to accommodate tastes and food allergies and again Lisa was very patient, friendly and helpful not only to us, but the other tables she served as well. The presentation of dinners were very pleasing to the eye and delicious. One exception, was the steak, not in preparation but the actual cut. We made the problem known right away to Lisa and Chef Alex came immediately to the table. He recognized and acknowledged the problem immediately with sincere apologies and said he would prepare a new steak or whatever desired, as well as asking the rest of the table if our dinners were acceptable, which they were. What seemed like a very short time, Chef Alex delivered the hot steaming steak directly to the table and waited while a cut and taste was taken. Superb taste again, but a world of difference in the “melt in your mouth” tenderness this time. The chef did return minutes later to check if the steak, as well as all of our meals were acceptable and flavorful, which they were and we continued with a most pleasant dinner. Two complimentary sundaes were presented to the birthday guests, and the Creme Brûlée, my favorite, was perfect. Two ice cream drinks, the White Dove and the Grasshopper, prepared by Casandra in the bar, were outstanding, as always. Three out of the five of us have been known to come just for Casandra’s ice cream drinks on a whim. Oh so delicious, a comfort treat, and served by a very personable bartender. As we were leaving Casandra and Chef Alex happened to be by the check out, so we were able to express our pleasant evening had by all. The owner “Mark”, was not in, as we wanted to express our wonderful birthday dining evening experience to him, however, I will be making a call to let him know. Oh, by the way, my fiancé and I were celebrating the anniversary of our first date at Marks Eastside, which was 68 months ago. Tonight we arrived in a downpour, all soaked, but left dry with a beautiful sunset, smiles, more than satisfied appetites and a most memorable time. We will be back and we will share our wonderful time with others. Thank You So Much!
