Located in the heart of downtown Decatur, about a half hour south east of Fort Wayne, Markos is serving up the best food in the area. We went there last weekend to celebrate with the family, and the place was packed. It’s good to see a restaurant that’s doing an exceptional job being well supported by the community.
I had a coffee rubbed New York strip steak, served on a sweet potato puree. The coffee rub gave it a nice charred flavor. The fried green tomato appetizer has to be tasted to be believed. Several in our party had the low country shrimp with grits and tasso gravy. “…a time to every purpose,” while you’re eating this you’ll be in that one perfect moment, aligned to the purpose intended from the beginning. Yeah, yeah, I hear you saying, “what a load of pseudo-mystical hooey,” but you try it and see if I’m not right.
The wine list is modest, and modestly priced. We had a delightful Beckman Syrah-Gernache for 28 bucks.
I’ve been to Markos three times now and it has been exceptional every time. You can’t do better than to visit Markos.
