Mark's American Cuisine is a two star restaurant in Houston. Located in the Montrose area, this restaurant is expensive. It's known for its contemporary offerings.

This restaurant is open late.

Chef Mark Cox prepares not just one but four unique menus for his patrons. Houstonians and visitors will find food unlike that in any other restaurant. Mark's wine list, recognized by Wine Spectator offers each customer the opportunity to pair the perfect meal with with enhancing wines. Vineyeards and vintages are selected by taste & value instead of "brand name." Please visit our Online Wine Cellar to wet your palette. Mark's boasts 3 meeting rooms: 2 private, The Cloisters 32-40 people, The Alcove 5-8 & The Loft up to 24. Dining at Mark's is truly a memorable dining experience.

My mother was turning 80 and wanted to go back to Mark's for her celebration. We arrived at Mark's for our 7:30 reservations with great anticipation. Ninety minutes later we left, starved and sadly disappointed as we never had a chance to sit at a table. The worst part of the entire evening was the non-caring attitude of the staff toward all of the different groups waiting to be shown towards our table. There was no compassion or explanation for the long delay. Mark's certainly needs to work on putting the customers first.

The food, dessert, and wine were all tasty. Our 2 servers were very knowledgable and friendly, and the food came out in a timely manner. Although the restaurant decor is meant to create a romantic atmosphere,...

Mark's is what it is all about. Great service, relaxed atmosphere and terrific, innovative food. Mark's lets it's food do all of the talking. This is my absolute favorite restaurant.

This was our 1st visit and it was on our anniversary. The food and wine were great however the price was a little steep. The food and service alone make it definitely worth the visit.

Mark's is Houston's premier dining spot. It is a place where young and old gather to enjoy tastes, that can't be found in any other resturant in Houston.

Delicious!!!! Best restaurant in Houston. Service was good, but I think our waiter may have been new on the job b/c he wasn't real familiar with the menu. Food was impeccable! We'll definitely come back!

This place is really, really romantic. The food is delicious. It's just a little scary to have a bar in what use to be the alter.

I have been to Marks several times. Every time I was content with the food (dessert is also excellent, actually is a value-price) and service. It is pricey, true. But for special occasions, it is a good place....

Mark's definitely lived up to its reputation...the food, from appetizer to dessert, was about the best I've had in Houston in a long time. Contrary to some comments I'd heard or read, the service couldn't have...

We were celebrating a birthday and we could have done better. Our guests ordered the special of the day at $35/plate & the fish tasted very fishy & they were unable to eat it. To compensate the waiter offered...
