Marks At The Park

Marks at the Park is a fantastic gem in Abuja! From the moment you step in, the ambiance strikes the perfect balance between trendy and welcoming. The outdoor setting is ideal for a relaxed hangout, while the indoor space is modern and stylish. Their menu is diverse, with something for everyone—whether you're into juicy burgers, fresh salads, or delightful cocktails. I particularly loved their Lamb chops - although it was quite pricy for the portion served —it was perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the entire experience seamless. Whether you're going for a casual outing or a special occasion, Marks at the Park delivers. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy great vibes and amazing food in the heart of Abuja!"

Location is central - in a plaza in the heart of Wuse II, on Ademola Adetokunbo Crescent, on the side of the Swiss Embassy and in between Peniel Apartments and Sticks & Stones Plaza. Parking options range from inside, outside, adjacent the plaza and an underground parking that accommodates about 10 cars. The restaurant is on the fifth floor and as far as I can remember, the only way up is with an elevator. There were two of them but one seemed to be out of function. Particularly liked that there were multiple dining options - indoor, outdoor and a semi-outdoor option (glass walled space outside, right after the elevators). Any of the spaces could be rented for a private event. Staff were pleasant and very courteous. Menu is in a barcode but a waiter can provide a device, should a customer for any reason at all be unable to access the menu. Food here was reallllly gooooood. Shrimp rolls were crunchy and tasty. Everything was done just right. The drinks were okay. An average meal would cost about 60 - 70k.

I made a reservation for 8 PM at the terrace of Mark’s Restaurant with my female friend. While waiting for her to arrive, I ordered a cocktail and a bottle of water. My friend arrived 30 minutes later, and after sitting down, we asked the waiter to bring two more cocktails while she looked through the menu to decide what to eat. A few minutes later, the waiter informed us that they couldn’t serve our drinks unless we ordered food first. This was shocking, as I had been to Mark’s two weeks earlier with a male friend, and we only ordered drinks without any issue. We asked to speak with the manager, who was unprofessional and dismissive. We explained that no restaurant should force customers to order food, especially since we planned to order shortly. However, the tone of the staff made us feel uncomfortable. The manager then mentioned they had a minimum spend policy, which seemed absurd for a restaurant. This is not a nightclub! At this point, we decided not to stay, as the entire experience had soured our evening. The staff brought the bill for what we had ordered, and we left. I wouldn’t have wanted to eat there anyway, given that the last time I had seafood at Mark’s, I got food poisoning. Needless to say, I will not be returning to Mark’s Restaurant.

Aesthetics is 💯 Food was good, the mocktails were delicious. Totally loved them. I had the crab stick maki which I thoroughly enjoyed with the delicious pickled ginger. The beef gyoza was quite underwhelming for me. The classic shrimp tempura was so delicious I wanted more. The wings were great too. Our waiter was so polite and friendly. Her name is Mercy, ask of her. Like I said in the video, this is a fine dinning place so not a place to come and eat on a budget. I mean the dessert them girls had cost 10,000 .It’s also Japanese cuisine so don’t expect ‘big portions’ regardless of how much you see as the price. Suitable for group and family dinning.

Marks at the Park offers a cozy dining experience with good food and a great ambience. During my visit, I enjoyed delicious sushi, though the order method was a bit unconventional. Introducing boat options could enhance variety for customers. The rooftop view of Abuja was lovely, adding to the overall charm. Service was decent, and I'm looking forward to returning soon.
