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!

The food is always excellent. I felt sorry for the staff; the service was terrific, but they were understaffed, even though it's a small restaurant. I am unsure how they managed on a busy weeknight during the holiday season, but kudos to the manager/owner.
