Great place for a girls night out – Went with three of my girlfriends...we were treated like gold. Service was informative and unobtrusive. Wine list is excellent. Mixed drinks are great too. Food melted in our mouths. The only bad thing was that it got a little cold with all of the windows open and there really is not room to wait at the a 4-seat bar.
Wine, Food Pairing – Ordered the Pizzetta, Spaghettoni, Black Squid Ink Ravioli, and the Tuna Mezzo Crudo. Had sommelier pair each course with wine and she did an excellent job. Food was excellent, wine was excellent, ambience OK.
Good food and outstanding service – 3 out of 7 courses were world class, while the other four ranged from average to good. The 3 outstanding ones were the asparagus and proscuitto with truffle sauce, the wild mushroom spagettoni and the Nantucket Bay scallop carrot soup. The tuna was average at best. The surf and turf was about the same. Seafood antipasto was inventive and interesting, although nothing jumped out as outstanding. The lobster pasta was good, but not great. I'd stick with appetizer and pasta here. The entrees s... read more
Mare is not to be missed! – Four of us visited Mare on the first weekend after New Years, perhaps a relatively calm time. On that particular Friday night, we received flawless food and service (we are all frequent restaurant goers in all price ranges -- two of us in San Francisco, two in New York). Pricey, but well worth it. We did the 5-course tasting menu, every course was scrumptious and innovative, and the whole was perfectly balanced. Especially memorable were the potato flan topped with crawfish and the ricotta-stuffed... read more
thankfully not your typical italian restaurant – The passion in the food is so evident, you must try the angel hair with scallops and the spaghetoni (sp) pastas, not only are the flavors full and fresh but the scents are breathtaking. The BBQ octopus app was cooked to perfection and not like any other we have had before, delicious! The service was very friendly and knowledgeable without being stuffy, we felt welcomed and very comfortable. We can't wait to go back, especially in the summer time when they open all the windows ... read more
User review by joanned_02149 – I must say that I agree with most of the reviews for Mare. Although I love the friendly lady with the short hair and funky eyeglasses that floats around there, I do not think that I will be going back there again anytime soon. Even with 8:00 reservations, we were the last table seated around 9:30 or so. After placing our orders we waited a while for our appetizers - give me a break! Fifteen dollars for two stuffed zucchini blossoms? I understand organic is expensive but come on! After that we w... read more
ICK ICK ICK – What I liked: Excellent white chocolate martini. The caesar salad with shrimp is very good. The service was attentive and thorough. The location was easy to get to, and I liked the corner spot. What I didn't: Tables are right on top of each other (and the people next to us kept butting into our conversation!). The portions are small, especially for the price. I had the parrechi (sp?)...the crab meatballs tasted like they had shells in it. Ick. Overall, I was disappointed...I never make it to the north end, and ... read more
Hungry? Keep Walking – The "food" was all so very precious. We thought maybe they were joking. They weren't. Fortunately this trendy little fishbowl is close enough to enough places where you can actually eat. You'll spend a lot here, get very little, and listen to your stomach growl.
Disappointment – I was very excited to try Mare after many enjoyable meals at Bricco, but have to say I was extremely disappointed with the experience. I liked the contemporary decor and overall atmosphere, but that is all. The service was below average; our waiter was not helpful and even arrogant. I ordered a seafood risotto which was, if I recall, $24, and the portion was the smallest I've ever been served, bar none. There were two girls sitting at a parallel table that actually laughed at me. I eat out very often and hav... read more
