Mar's - Astoria

The server is extremely well-informed and accommodating. They offer an oyster happy hour on weekends, and the oysters are the best in the city. Their mignonette sauce is delicious. The purple drink on the happy hour menu is also very good. Their cocktails are some of the best I've had.

This is one of my favorite restaurants/bars in New York City. The bartenders are excellent and can suggest a drink for you or create a cocktail that perfectly fits your taste. The oyster specials here are top-notch and cannot be beat by any other place in the city. The quality of the food is outstanding. I miss living in Queens so much because Mars is truly the best.

The food and ambiance at this restaurant are fantastic. The only reason I didn't give them a five-star rating for service is because of an unfortunate mistake they made. I was quite frustrated when they accidentally swapped my credit card with another customer's card. As a result, we ended up paying for each other's meals, and theirs happened to be more expensive than mine. I had to go through the hassle of canceling my card and getting a new one sent to me. It was definitely annoying, but I understand that it was an honest mistake. The lesson learned here is to always double-check your card when making a payment, as they might inadvertently mix them up with another customer's.

Inventive menu and cocktails, perfectly prepared in a warm and cozy atmosphere. Service is top notch. Excellent date spot!

Leather Lace cocktail is definitely recommended. Fondue was interesting. Service was exceptional! It’s a classy place so you should come here for special occasions
