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!

First time there. Great atmosphere, super-fresh pizza, right out of oven, all fun, except that a party of pre-teens grew increasingly out of control, on this particular night, with a deafening decibel level... until a brave patron turned to the parents and ordered them to reign in their unruly children.
