It was in the newspaper, as I posted here a while ago. I can't remember exactly when he was supposed to reopen, sometime around October 1, I think.

We went there once, thought it was way over rated and did not understand why this place gets the regulars that it does. This was four of us, and none of us really cared for the place. I would add, the parking was terrible! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
We have not been back in the next 12 plus trips since, who knows, someday we may go back but with so many great places I am not sure why we would. T
I prefer the Isle seat

Sounds just like how some feel about The Palms. At least there IS adequate parking unless the grocery store is packed.
I will also add, you see way more local residents dining at Mark's Place than you do many other establishments.

Tom said: You've seen it here many times, that anyone can be disappointed by any restaurant. We've been going to Mark's Place for many years and rarely had less than great food, at very reasonable prices. We found Marks Place in its original location and we've enjoyed it on many an occasion since then. Gourmet? NOT!! But like others have said - good food, good service and all at reasonable prices and to my way of thinking, sit there some evening and watch the islanders picking up their Togo orders. That many locals can't possibly be wrong, can they? Not at the top of my A list, but "Mikey likes it" nonetheless!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Agreed--a TON of food, for very reasonable prices. I almost always leave there with as much of my entre to take home, as I ate!!

Sorry you did not get a real answer to your question. Somehow threads seem to take a strange turn when an answer cannot be given.They usually are open for business again in October so perhaps you will be able to enjoy dining there for part of your trip. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

My response in the other thread said they would be closed for 'basically all of September', and I don't remember what was posted in the paper exactly. Regardless, the OP could either call or stop by, once they get to the island.
