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!

We went for brunch during the holidays. Service was perfect. Attentive and professional. The food and drinks were awesome. We had peach Bellini’s which were made with a real peach puree. Appetizers we had the Ricotta dip and Fried zucchini- so good especially the Ricotta with honey and crisps. Entrees were delicious and hot. We had affogato for dessert and espresso martinis- both perfect. Very memorable meal!
