Reviews for Mar's in Queens, NY
We were very fortunate to have had our wedding reception recently at Mar’s. It is our favorite neighborhood bar / restaurant.... We love the look and feel of the interior, and the superior food and beverage program. We’ve enjoyed many quiet dinners as acouple, group brunches with friends, and always walk away wanting to come back as soon as possible. When planning the weddingreception, Nur and the staff at Mar’s were incredibly helpful, supportive, and attentive to all of our questions and ideas.Nur helped us in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, diligently working to ensure everything would go as planned.The reception was wildly successful. It was super organized, incredibly bountiful, and every last detail was carefully tendedto. Every guest we talked to that night raved about the space and the professionalism of the staff. Mar’s truly made our dreamcome true, and we are forever grateful. Read more
My wife and I came here for the first time for our anniversary. Reservations were for 2 at 6pm. First impression of the... establishment was it had an old school vibe and decor, almost like a speakeasy. We started off with a LEATHER AND LACE drink, the server spritz with what looked like a perfume bottle. Wife was intrigued and really enjoyed the cocktail. I started offwith the TABLE BEER SAISON which was ok, im more of an IPA man but gave it a shot. For appetizers we began with the CHARREDBABY ROMAINE SALAD. It was ok, flavor was mild and I personally think the almonds should be slivered instead of whole. TheSTEAMED CLAMS were great. For the price I think 4 clams instead of 3 would be nice especially for sharing. My wife ordered theCROWD PLEASER which transported her to the Caribbean! For the mains we had the TSIPOURA Dorado fish which was delicious!!! Thecharred corn was incredible. I ordered the 5 boroughs summer ale on tap which did not taste fresh and was very flat. I thenordered the SINGLECUT 18 watt IPA which tasted like it was poured straight from the brewery which is not far away. We also hadthe STEAK & FRIES.The steak Bavette cut which im not familiar with was cooked perfectly but was a very small portion. It camewith Sage fries which were ok. I would have preferred Steak fries. I'm not a fan of very thinly sliced fries with steak even ifthey are fresh. The sage did not make much of a flavor impact and seemed unnecessary but overall not bad. Lastly for dessert mywife had the MARS BAR which appropriately named was great. It was not overly sweet. She washed it down with a Saveiro Madeirawhich was an excellent pairing! I finished with the HONEY WALNUT CAKE. I think it could have been a bit warmer. The descriptiondoes say sweetened only with Honey but it was not sweet at all and was not crazy about it. Overall would return and would loveto try the rest of the menu. Read more
Very friendly staff. The interior has a worn out vibe. We came because we love ?? seafood and raw bar and are GF. main... attraction was the deep fried items - like fish and chips. VERY small portion of the fish and think it cost $27. The carrot ????cake was VERY dry. These folks have a simple menu. Wish they’d master it. Stay in Brooklyn or Manhattan for seafood ????!There are places that offer GF fish and chips and calamari at restaurants as an option and the restaurants are much betteroverall. Read more
Most of the bigger oysters were good and fresh but the octopus was chewy worst than a chewing gum and the wine wasn't that... good,maybe because of happy hour?? Anyway won't be coming back Read more
It was my first at this spot and I was in a date. It has such an intimate ambience that really sets the tone for dates of any... type. I say at the bar and asked for a mango margarita, unfortunately there was no mango syrup but the bartender was graciousenough to make me one with a pineapple flavor. It was SO GOOD. Just a little small in terms of quantity, lol. I ordered foranother one and this time it was a really good pour. My date’s first pour was also little then subsequent ones were a lotmore. I’m guessing this is the bartenders way of making you order for more. All in all, I enjoyed my time here and willdefinitely be coming back! Read more
I heard about this place from a couple websites listing the best restaurants in the area, so I wanted to give it a shot.... Overall, it was alright. I went for brunch, and the food was overpriced and nothing amazing. My meal was essentially twohard-boiled eggs with some mustardy sauce, cole slaw, and one sausage patty for $18. My friend's dish (dirty rice) was equallyunderwhelming. The portions were small and unimpressive. The drinks were good, the vibe is nice, and the service was fine, but Iprobably wouldn't recommend this place for brunch. Read more
