Cafe Mars was AMAZING. The service was so personal and attentive and kind. The food was BOMB. The pasta with Sunday sauce and breaded trumpet mushrooms were real stand-outs. Best meal and overall dining experience I’ve had in a long time.

Great neighborhood spot that we travel to form a different neighborhood. We loved this space when it was Prime Meats and are happy that they have kept the interior largely intact. Pizza was delicious as were the drinks and apps we ordered. The service was lovely and the general vibe was buzzy but relaxed. Am already looking forward to our next visit.

One of our favorite places. Food is good and fresh. But today we got a little disappointed. We ordered kani salad and it wasn't fresh. It was very cold, like it was from the freezer and all the ingredients were over frozen.
