I've only been to Mark's Place, so I can't comment on them relative to each other, but I can tell you that it's one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at. The food was fantastic.. the dishes unusual but great. The customers very stylish. It also has the highest rating for food I have ever seen in Zagat, a 29 out of 30. If you like tuna, and they still have it, the sesame seared tuna entree is fantastic! -- Bill [email removed]

MP won hands down; AM is very good, and if atmosphere and service are real important to you, AM may lead there. Plate-for-plate, both in originality and execution you can't go wrong with Mark's. ____________________________________________________________________ [email removed] Robert Rej - SUNY Albany Scarpia got the point! ____________________________________________________________________

Check I've always felt that if Mark's is running at 98% of great, Allen's food is not as good because he over does everything and goes 115%. If Mark's is still open for lunch, that's the time to go. Not crowded, almost the same menu, and lower prices.
