Closed: The Last Mark's Restaurant
The last remaining Mark's is gone:
Mark's at the Park in Boca Raton's Mizner Park unexpectedly closed its doors Thursday, the last of four restaurants led by award-winning chef Mark Militello to shutter in the past two months.We knew something was wrong, obviously; you don't close three of your four restaurants in two months if things are going great. But we thought perhaps Militello was going to focus on just one branch. We guessed wrong.The much-heralded South Florida chain has disappeared quietly. Both Militello and the restaurant's owner, Michael Freundlich, are mum on the reason for the closings.
Freundlich, managing partner of the Mark's restaurant group, on Monday referred calls to Militello, who in turn, directed questions to Freundlich's corporate offices in Boca Raton.
"Mark was the operator. He was responsible," Freundlich said.
Militello's response: "They made all the decisions."
