Saint Marc Pub-Café, Bakery & Cheese Affinage — a remarkable and noticeably new restaurant concept offering classic, nostalgic Americana fare in ambient SoCal comfort — just launched its flagship restaurant in Huntington Beach. Saint Marc, opened in December 2015 amidst the bustling, shopping and dining mecca of Huntington Beach’s Pacific City, offers a unique environment that provides both the opportunity for an elevated dining or casual-fare experience in a warm, inviting atmosphere that invokes the comforts of home.
With a concept that defies definition, Saint Marc is the perfect meeting of superb cuisine and personally customizable dining and hydration experiences. The impressively designed space is complemented by open-air kitchens, a charmingly rustic dining area, and an alluring pub with a well-curated selection of craft beer in a can, expertly handcrafted cocktails served in red SOLO® cups and 32 wines on draft. A highly anticipated bacon bar provides a wild variety of flavored cuts (including chocolate), while the cheese affinage tempts cheese lovers with over 100 sublime varieties from around the world. Plus, a café and bakery of robust caffeinated drinks and free-flowing breads shines from breakfast hours until late night. Create your own flight; select both cheese and wine available by the ounce.
From the kitchen’s classic dishes, such as grilled cheese and southern grits, to elegant 
charcuterie and ahi tuna cooked on salt rocks, Saint Marc puts its own gourmet twist on each plate. Guests will be guided through every meal — intimate dinners, late night bites, business lunches or family brunches — by Saint Marc ambassadors, dressed in chef whites and trained to offer expert advice. An innovative, iPad menu system, used tableside and at free standing stations, offers images and on-demand ordering of any of Saint Marc’s items for in-house dining or take out.
Such an expansive, modern design could not be implemented without the expertise of Saint Marc’s highly acclaimed staff, led by company CEO, Thomas (Mac) McFarland Gregory III, and vice president of culinary & operations, Frank Mathew Belosic III. Gregory is a master mixologist, certified advanced sommelier, beverage consultant, and top executive in the international food and beverage community with 25 years of experience developing, launching, and managing hundreds of locations for the world’s most elite luxury hospitality brands. Belosic, responsible for overseeing Saint Marc’s launch, is a master chef with more than 20 years of industry experience. He has opened and managed a wide range of food and beverage operations for Five Star and Five Diamond restaurants and hotels throughout the U.S. and has earned a reputation for inventiveness as well as a dedication to using fresh and local products.
“Frank and I could not be more excited to bring our life’s passion for the culinary and beverage world to one of SoCal’s most beautiful beach towns,” remarked Gregory. “Our dedicated team of chefs, sommeliers, mixologists, and hospitality mavericks have come together to offer an incredible eating and drinking experience that will seamlessly conform to the wants and needs of our invaluable guests, upon every visit. Whether our patrons are looking for a romantic evening out, breakfast on the go, or an afternoon of watching sports with friends, Saint Marc has something for everyone.”
