Wonderful dining experience. Sat at the bar. We started with cocktails, however keep in mind that they do not serve 'hard' liquor so if you have a hankering for a vodka martini, forget about it. We very much enjoyed the freshly shucked oysters that were ice cold and very sweet. Our entrees were perfect as well as the side of Maple Glazed Acorn Squash. Service was excellent. Kudos to our server Leo at the bar!

We were seated on time, and the decor was lovely. We started with a fresh salad, and we enjoyed a glass of wine that was a current special called Adaptation. The wine selection was wonderful. The steaks were cooked and seasoned to perfection. We shared buttery whipped potatoes and glazed carrots. Excellent service. For us, this is a special occasion restaurant, and it was superb!

As on previous visits Mare was great.. We started with fresh oysters. We had the waiter pick for us and he did an excellent job. My wife the pasta with mushrooms which she loved. I had the sword fish which was cooked perfectly, nice and moist. We shared an affogato for dessert, one of our favorites. Our server was pleasant, helpful and efficient. The evening was perfect.
