    We had 8 in our group for a Christmas Hanukkah dinner celebration. The restaurant was busy and the staff was incredibly profession, polite and attentive. Nick was our server and was great. Stopped by the table numerous times to check on us (If we needed anything else, etc...) Also never felt rushed. Just an overall fantastic experience. Will go back again! All of us enjoy edthe entire evening.

    This place is such a gem - from the moment you get to the door, you can tell Cafe Mars is not your typical restaurant. The decor is colorful and vibrant; it just screams "walk in here and get ready to have a great time". The staff are warm, entertaining, and knowledgeable. I have had nothing but 10/10 service on all of my visits here. And of course, the food is fantastic. Chef Paul truly works wonders here. Run, don't walk to Cafe Mars!
