    I took my daughter here for Christmas Eve and our experience could not have been nicer. Although very busy evening the staff remained highly professional and the food was delicious. It’s nice to see someone still knows how to run a restaurant.

    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!

    Amazing once again. We've been to Iavarone plenty of times. Yesterday happened to be our anniversary. I didn't even have to say anything and they brought us over a champagne toast. Food is always delicious. And service is on point. From the Hostess stand to the waiters and waitresses. Yohan took care of us. And she was simply amazing!
