   Overcrowded. Red hot. Waitress forgot a starter which wasn’t good when paying top prices, and was left with my starter while we enquired about second starter, that had been forgot. Felt rushed like a fast food restaurant. Food was lovely but felt rushed making menu choices. Was our anniversary but wasn’t an overall pleasant experience. Was expecting a nice romantic night but was sat 10” from couple next to us who were very loud. No effort made for our anniversary even though it was mentioned.

   As always the service and food was fantastic. If you are looking for a great place to have delicious seafood i highly recommend Mare. The staff and manager really make you feel at home. (Don’t forget to try the stuffed lobster, one of the best dishes!)

   This is my 4th time to Mare and it never disappoints. I have been there for my anniversary, night out with my wife, and business and it is a perfect location for any occasion. There are so many restaurants in the NEnd and it can be hard to standout but Mare is unique from all the other N.End Italian restaurants. Seafood centric but not just, it has something for everyone. It isn't your checkered cloth, red sauce, restaurant so if that's what you want you will find a couple dozen other spots that would fit the bill down the street. But if you are looking for some of the best seafood fused with Italian cuisine, great drinks, a broad wine list across multiple price points, cool vibes, and intimate dining experience with terrific staff then this is your place. I highly recommend

   Food looked better than it tasted. Service lacked personality and warmth - definitely felt more like a ‘customer’ than a ‘guest’. It wasn’t a bad experience but I wouldn’t return.

   The food here was wonderful. However, the wait staff were very rude. When we came we were still waiting for one more person in our party, they kicked us out into the cold to wait until our entire party arrived and we could be seated. Then, we were not seated until 1 hr after our reservation time. They kept telling us there was a party at our table that would not leave, but to force us to wait an hour rather than giving us a different table was unfair.

   Hostess was not very welcoming when our family was greeted - not even a hello. We asked for seating away from the entrance door and there was no openness. We were immediately seated at a table 5 feet adjacent from the door. The door opened/shut through our entire dinner with a cold draft making us very uncomfortable. The food was average and the cold temperature made it very difficult to enjoy our meal and family dinner.

   Our hostess asked us in an indiguisable voice what water we wanted. All we heard was “still” and so we repeated still thinking it was tap. We never buy silly Perrier or whatnot. We were charged $10 for the bottle of spring water. We noticed others had simple glasses of tap water. Ridiculous. The dinner was overpriced, as well. The music was too loud. I We left ticked off and will never return. Im sure we would have better things to say had we not been ripped off for the water.
