Best Family Style Restaurants in Midwood

All around wonderful experience. We had a reservation at 8:00 but found our schedule changed a bit and we hoped to eat earlier. We stopped by the restaurant at 6:30 to see if they could seat us sooner, and they prepared a table for us right away. At the same time, I heard another guest ask the host how soon they could be seated without a reservation, and she was told the wait was 90 minutes! We felt like VIPs! The service, the food, and the ambience were all incredible. Our water glasses were never empty. Our food was delivered in the ideal time. Everything was delicious. We love the family-style menu that let all of us share and taste several entrees. The Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve had. We look forward to returning!

Great space for date night and birthday events! The vibe, energy was on 🎯!! Food was amazing, the staff was A1. 10/10 highly recommended!

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 at lunchtime so restaurant was pretty empty. The service was excellent! Especially Ricardo! Food was delicious and plentiful! We had a great time! The only issue was the address was a bit confusing as the restaurant entrance was actually on E 19th which was not specified. Would highly recommend!!

Great service. Excellent food and a really friendly staff in a fun location.
