A personal pet peeve of mine is chefs who refer to themeselves as \"chef so and so\".  Like you're a doctor or something.  Even worse when you name your restaurant after yourself in the same douche fashion.  Lame.\n\nAnywho, that could be overcome if your food is great and your restaurant enjoyable.  Chef marc's failed on both counts.  Thickly and heavily sauces gummy pastas and an un-fun room made me wished I'd stayed home and enjoyed superior food.\n\nThis is THE place for older folks who get off on knowing \"the chef\", trying to impress friends and dates by having \"the chef\" come over to their table and pretend like he's their best friend.
