“The Mark Restaurant” is named in remembrance of Lisa’s stepfather Mark Lissner Greenberg who passed after a long battle with cancer just a few years before it opened. The experience of seeing the positive results on Mark’s longevity and quality of life in the last years from his having had a healthier, organic foods diet had a huge effect on Lisa. http://www.themarkolympia.com/restaurant/mark-listner-greenberg/

03/22/13 Edgar Martinez [considered one of the greatest players to suit up for the Seattle Mariners] was in at The Mark Olympa last night. He shared the story of El Zacatecano his latest endevor - it is an artisanal Mezcal 100% Weber Blue Agave and 100% organic. Organic, Artisanal this sounds like we might just like to get behind for summer patio nights super fresh margarita/cocktail time! You can see from the photo bartender Ashley is a big sports fan and Mr. Martinez generiously shared a hug with her on his way out, making her day! http://www.elzacatecano.net/
