Grass fed grilled Filet Mignon, Macadamia crusted Red Snapper and Saffron Risotto with Butter poached Lobster are just a sampling of the mouth watering entrees from the seasonal menu.
For lighter fare, check out brick oven flatbreads and savory pizzas. Enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail at the bar or pick from an imaginative wine list, served by the bottle or the glass.
Top off your evening with a dessert "tasting plate," or linger over an espresso and a full serving of house-made Key Lime pie, Belgian chocolate mousse or one of Jan's many sumptuous dessert creations.
After dinner, browse the Jan Marie Boutique next door for an exceptional selection of Mexican art, Talavera pottery and Jan's exclusive line of hand-painted dinnerware.

Directions: Exit the Bucerías Highway just before the first light coming into town, and turn left toward the bay through the gateway to the Royal Decameron Complex. At the bottom of the hill, turn right on Lázaro Cárdenas and go about a mile till you see the maroon awning. To check out Mark's menu, go to MarksBucerias.com. Visa and MasterCard accepted. Reservations advised. (329) 298-0303.

Everything Food with Seth: The Joys of Jan
 Seth Cloutman
It is a rare day when I meet another person whose life revolves around the search for a great combination of flavors not found before. But, a few weeks ago, when I met Jan Benton, the Chef de Cuisine of Mark's Bar and Grill in Bucerías, that is exactly what happened...
 Mark's Bar & Grill: A Love Story
 Roberta Rand
Like so many successful partnerships, Mark McMahon and Jan Marie Benton, proprietors of Mark's Bar & Grill, are a study in contrasts. Mark is the taciturn 'man's man' who purchased the cantina in 1986, and Jan is the ebullient New Zealander who elevated it to a sophisticated restaurant.
