 Perhaps the name of this restaurant sums up chef-owner Mark Best’s intention better than anything else. Translating his name into French becomes a metaphor for his menu which turns traditional expectations around. A risky undertaking, but in the hands of someone with his consummate skill, the effect is pure magic. We’re talking chaud-froid egg with grissini, here, roast wood pigeon with parsnip and chocolate tart, or boudin noir with new garlic, sea urchin and fresh snails. Or a Sauternes custard with caramel. Best loves to surprise and challenge his diners’ taste buds, and use edgy flavor combinations. He honed his talent overseas for several years in top French and English restaurants before opening Marque. The 400-plus wine list brings the establishment even more recognition and a devoted clientele. Despite the largesse of the list, because Marque’s diners are discerning and would only bring their most precious and fastidiously cellared wines, BYO is allowed by arrangement, but at a $30 corkage charge. Worth noting: The eight-course dégustation with matching wines is a treat worth saving up for---and savoring.
