Marc 49 - 4915 Telegraph Ave

Marc 49 is a wine bar on Telegpaph that caught our attention due to the fact that it opened after the Partner in Chow and I had passed it.

For due diligence, we went back to Marc 49, the newest obstacle between us and Pizzaiolo.

We've now been there a few times.

What we've ordered:

Mozzarella/Tomato Salad, Oysters, Fig & Proscuitto Sandwich (we think), Meaty Sandwich/Salad Combo, er... OK, we don't exactly remember what we've ordered, which has far less to do with it being a wine bar than that... er... well, it was awhile ago, OK?
Service: friendly
Atmo: laid back wine bar
Crowd: the neighborhood - young hipsters, yuppies, etc
Spent: around $30.00
Overall rating: 4 sporks

Marc 49 gets bonus points for being reasonably priced for a wine bar. The other alternatives near our house are Franklin Square and A Cote, and both tend to run you $100+ for 2 people if you're hungry.

This place has a good selection of good sandwiches and salads, and a decent wine selection. The back patio is a friendly place to kick back with friends, and overall we've always had a really good time here. Service is prompt and friendly, the front room has cool low tables and a nice bar. Basically, Marc 49 is filling a gap for the neighborhood and democratizing the wine bar experience for twentysomething kids that either can't afford Franklin Square, or don't want to eat fussy, small plates of food.

Nice job, Marc 49. We'll be back.
