Wow!!! It just keeps getting better. I've been to Mare several times since its opening 3 months ago. From the very beginning I was impressed by EVERYTHING. Taking in consideration it just opened, the food, the service, the ambiance was always great!!! But last night!!??? It was an experience of its own. The presentation of the plates & attention to details are just incredible. I mean it was from the very beginning but it just keeps getting better. The chef owner that comes out & oversees every table in between plating the plates in the kitchen brings a personalized unique touch. There's such a thing of eating with your eyes. These plates were gorgeous & even better tasting. This is my first review of the place after 9 or 10 times there. I just never took the time to do it. After last might???!! Im blown away. P.s I had a restaurant for 4 years & worked in the restaurant business for 20 years. Mare is just next level. Salute!

I went to the restaurant with my girlfriend, & we decided to try a tasting menu, which we really enjoy doing. It allows the chefs to showcase their skills, & we were able to fully enjoy the experience at the seafood bar. We were welcomed by Kenneth, who did an exceptional job: professional, talented, & attentive. The salads & dishes he served us were perfectly balanced & incredibly fresh. I highly recommend this place!

Speciali gli antipasti: la frittura mista e il polipo. Super le linguine all astice. Il servizio impeccabile. Addirittura Lo chef Giovanni è passato a salutarci. In fine buono pure l'amaro diel sig. Minucci.
