    Stopped here on a Saturday night while in the area for work. I had a reservation for 7:30 and was able to make it by 7pm. Darkly lit place, casual dress with some fancy decor. The host was up against in with juggling door dash drivers, being on the phone non-stop, and seating parties. In all that, I managed to have 4 sets of people walk right in front of me waiting and get seated. No big deal, but a little more attention should be paid to who is standing in front of you. So after that, and a bar seating area was filled in front of me - I was sat at the bar directly in the way of those coming in and out of the restaurant. The bartender was very prompt and nice - and I ordered an Old Fashioned and a Diet Coke. OF was good - standard issue. I started with a wedge salad, which was good and the normal execution you would expect. They also served a three piece of table bread which was regular, sourdough, and an onion type of focaccia. The first two were good but I didn't try the onion one. For my entree, I ordered the chicken parmesan. This is served with penne vodka and the cutlet is served with a tri-color sauce topping. It was very good. I think the best part was that upon order the food came out super quickly and was hot and fresh. I would come back and recommend this place.

    Been coming here for the last 4 years (since 2021), the restaurant is situated as the name states, right off of Madison Ave., across the street from the famed Madison Square Park. There is outdoor dining with two columns of tables outside, indoor isn't bad either, you just hear people louder. Th owner/chef used to be big cheese at Barney's restaurant before they shut down, the store filed for bankruptcy, not the restaurant. The vibe is American fine dining with elements of Jewish and Italian cuisine. You'll also find their coveted lasagna alongside bagels and ceviche. Please order the Belgian Fries with your meal, it is absolutely worth it. Everything I've had has been great. My favorite right now is their lasagna, it truly is to die for, the pizza is equally delicious, not your typical restaurant slice...M.O.M. Also has the best donuts on the East Side, I haven't tried their bagels yet. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The host is OK, I've noticed he can have a chip on his shoulder at times so don't be snooty. Overall will be coming back as long as their food remains consistent, which it is. I don't recommend ordering their takeout, it takes away from the quality, trust me and just go there.

    Stopped at Mark's at the end of resturant week and what a treat to be able to try this establishment at a discount price. We had to try the famous lasanga..it was perfection..sauced well, layered well, and deelish. The apps were usual flare and the crab cake with fries was just ok...the spotlight was the lasagna. The resturant is lovely and staff was exceptional

    Best bread basket I've had.  So many fun varieties.
    Jeff G.

    Marks is really just a fancy diner and I mean that in the best way possible. The menu is varied but limited. Whatever they do they do well. We started with the bread basket which was one of the best I've ever had. The bagels were the best part. I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it was. We then shared a pig in the blanket appetizer. They were the best I've ever had but the $30+ price tag was a little bit crazy to me. That being said we really did enjoy the hot dog. For dinner we shared a Belgian fries and lasagna. The fries were perfect. Crispy, thick. The lasagna was very good. I don't think it was the best ever. I had to add some salt (which I never do). Once it was salted the flavors popped a little more. I'd still go back to Marks and if I lived there I'd be there often.

    Zucchini Chips
    Grace W.

    Good dining experience. Great service, upscale & quiet atmosphere with intimate vibe. I came here with a few friends recently and we had an enjoyable dinner. Attentive service, delicious dishes with nice presentations. Very appetizing Zucchini Chips. I love my Roasted Salmon, very flavorful and was prepared just right! The Orecchiette and Bitter Green with Sausage was very tasty as well.

    Cheeseburger, lasagna, truffle fries also
    Julia J.

    The burger is actually DELISH - thick, juicy, toasted bun, and topped with so many crispy onions!!!!!! However I didn't care for the lasagna & it also was kinda cold; truffle fries also weren't crispy & were just ok. I'd 100% come back for the burger!

    Bread
    Wonder L.

    The food was very good. I had the brisket sandwich/ i forget the name), very reminiscent of a french onion dip sandwich. the gravy was thick and tasteful and the brisket was cooked very well. only thing would've made this better would've been maybe mozzarella cheese on it like typical onion dip sandwiches. The bread they give out was very flavorful and soft. The service was very good, they routinely came around to make sure needs were met. Ambience was cool, the place was crowded and gave a sort of modern trendy vibe.

    Devour Chicken Parm
    Macarena O.

    The lasagna here is TO DIE FOR! It really reminded me of eating at homemade fish at my grandmas. The sauce, the meat, the lasagna pasta..everything was perfection. We also got the Belgian fries and the chicken parm. The portions are very generous so 2 entrees and one appetizer was enough for our party of 3. We also got a bottle of the Albariño. The service was also exceptional. Very attentive and friendly. Even if you just come for the lasagna, you won't regret it!

    Lasagne Della Nonna
    Saasha G.

    The lasagna was amazing! Went for restaurant week which gives you a taste of everything but the real reason I went was for the lasagna that I've been wanting to try for a while now and it did not dissipate, it was soft and creamy and meaty but that pesto gives it good balance as well . I also tried the waygu pigs in the blanket and they were beefy and good. The crabcake was a little underwhelming as an entree it's best as an appetizer imo.

    Old Fashioned Lemon Ice Box Cake
    Jeff M.

    Mark's Off Madison 41 Madison Ave. New York, NY 10010 Assorted Bread Old Fashioned Wedge Salad Lasagne Della Nonna "Devour" Chicken Parmesan Old Fashioned Lemon Ice Box Cake Local Peach Upside Down Cake Literally located off Madison Ave (hence the catchy name) is a restaurant specializing in Italian dishes. It's definitely a place to treat M.O.M. (No pun intended) The assorted table bread is made in house consisting of focaccia, sour dough and semolina. Another nutritious starter is the wedge salad. The bleu cheese crumble and bacon bits are definitely the best part. Mark's lasagna is definitely one of his signature entrees. In between the multiple flat sheets of pasta are veal, beef, and pork Bolognese. The creamy sauce is the backbone to this dish! Another classic Italian dish that always catches my eye is the chicken Parmesan, which I certainly "devoured." I must acknowledge the attractive artistic appearance of the "M" insignia written in pesto. Regardless of how full you feel, there's always room for sweets. The lemon cake was definitely my favorite. It had a tart, lemony flavor with a heaping side of blueberry sauce. The upside peach pie was literally upside down with the crust on the bottom and fruit on top. Regardless of whether it's right side up or upside down, the taste was still the same and I cleared this dessert! Aside from these heavenly dishes, the service was phenomenal. From my friendly welcome into the restaurant by Host Garret and being promptly served by Marcos, Muquit and Freddy, I'll definitely be back to try their other tasty dishes! #marksoffmadison #wedgesalad #lasagnedellanonna #lasagna #chickenparmesan #lemoniceboxcake #lemoncake #peachupsidedowncake #peach

    Lasagna is very good! Worth trying especially if you are in the neighborhood! Came during restaurant week. Probably should've ordered the smaller portion from that menu. I could barely get through half of the portion.

    Lasagna
    Erryn M.

    Not Your Nonna's Lasagna, but the Pasta Shines If you're expecting traditional lasagna loaded with cheese, this one might surprise you. It's a more refined take, with not super cheesy, but the pasta was exceptional. You can tell it's made with care. Service was a little slow, especially by NYC standards where things tend to move at lightning speed. Our server was kind, just not very attentive. While the rest of the staff didn't bring much energy to the table, the owner was incredibly warm and welcoming--which really stood out and made the experience feel more personal. Overall, not a must-return for me, but worth trying if you appreciate quality pasta and a charming host.

    The Club Wedge Salad
    Adam S.

    Brunch menu is perfect! Went with the salad and a sandwich, highly recommend the fries with the three dips.

    Do they have gluten free bread?

    No , they don't sell gluten free

    I am confused, is this a bagel place? It is listed as one

    They make delicious bagels each day, so it's a great spot to get one or two, they also have a fabulous restaurant with delicious food.

    What is the outdoor set up? Are there heaters at every table on the patio?

    There are heaters over the tables against the exterior wall of the restaurant. There's another row of unheated tables. No COVID huts.

    What hours is the takeout counter open? When can I get bagels until?

    The bagel take out counter opens at 9am Saturday & Sunday and is open until 4pm Thank you!

The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce.

(How are all of these people living so high on the hog, without a care in the world?!) We were escorted off to a little tucked-away enclave near the back, but the restaurant was just too boisterous and we had to shout just to talk to people at the other end of the table. We got our menus and there was a bit of 'sticker shock' on my part, I can't lie. "We're in NYC, what did you expect?" - the Mrs. whispered when she saw my eyes go wide. But $38 for chicken parm? (Which is what I went with after seeing it had its own little "parm-fection" hype on the menu.) And $36 for the Branzino (which consisted of one fillet on a small bed of wilted spinach)? Our table dabbled all over the place and for the most part everyone really enjoyed their meals. The food they're knocking out is legit, for sure. But the bill came out to over $60 a person (including the tip, but we didn't have apps or dessert and half of us just had water), which hurts when you're a cheap-o like myself. Our waitress was awesome (and she didn't even seem fazed when I tried to rattle her that we were going to split the check onto nine different credit cards... but we only used one). And Bryant Park (right across the street) was the perfect nightcap on a lovely spring evening.
