mars in nyc

by saragm at Citysearch

went here with my mother and my cousin as i like to go to themed restaurants. The decor was nice and really could make someone feel like they were at mars but everything has its price to pay. The food was overprice and our wait time was ASTRONOMICAL. They had us waiting in the game area for at least 40 minutes before they sat us, which they did not tell us about, which had my mother extremely agitated.

Okay

by Melissa2287 at Citysearch

I've been here 4 times and I don't think I'll be back. When you first go in, you pay the $2 or $3 dollar entertainment fee for the "spaceship" that takes you to the restaurant. The first two times I went it was working and was pretty fun! The other two times it was not working and we still had to paid the fee. The service is okay. They have some mars characters walking around that interact with kids. The first time we went they did some dancing and that was pretty great! The first time (back in 2006) and the last time I went (in 2011) were the better times. Service was pretty good... very friendly, attentive but not overly. The two middle times I went weren't so good. They took my order wrong. I asked for chicken parm and they gave me a fish sandwich. I ate it anyways since I work in food business and I know what it's like but either way I didn't order that. It was pretty good however. The menu is also way too short and overpriced. The waiters also vanished afterwards. The last 3 times I've been there NOBODY was there.... not a single tourist in sight. However, if Brad Pitt is in town, you might want to go here. Brad Pitt is ALWAYS here with his kids. If you plan to go, I also recommend the frozen lemonade - excellent!

Dissapointment

by Jakeylovesme at Citysearch

The prices are high for no reason . . you can get better quality food in your local diner or grocery store.

DO NOT LAND ON MARS!

by coolmommy2x at Citysearch

I wish I'd read the other reviews on here before going there! I didn't know there was a $2/person admission fee! Who pays an admission fee to go to a restaurant? The space ride was fun for the kids but not a big deal overall.

The restaurant looked so cool online...it's a bit tired looking in person. The paint on the ceiling above us was chipping. My feet stuck to the carpeting and then the concrete stairs as I took my daughter to the bathroom (which wasn't very clean).

I thought my burger was good but my husband hated the fries and said the chips in the nachos were stale.

Not all of the aliens were friendly. Two stopped by to have pictures taken, one waved and kept walking.

For the four of us, our bill was $98...I paid $98 plus tip for a bad meal and experience?! What was I thinking?! Fortunately we skipped dessert (had that at Dylan's Candy Bar...great place!).

If you want to go to a themed restaurant...DO NOT GO HERE!!! Stay as far away as you can!

  • Pros: Service was good
  • Cons: Overpriced, not clean, food not fresh...I could go on and on

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY

by terrace97 at Citysearch

I'M APPALLED AT HOW DISGUSTING AND EXPENSIVE THE FOOD IS. I WANT MY MONEY BACK. THERE IS NOT EVEN A CONTACT ON THEIR SITE. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY...BETTER OFF EATING ANYWHERE BUT HERE. ITS SOOOO OVERATED AND WHO CHARGES 2 DOLLARS A PERSON FOR ADMISSION. TRUST ME, COSTCO'S FROZEN CHICKEN NUGGETS ARE GOURMET COMPARED TO WHAT THEY SERVE. I WAS RIPPED OFF AND I DEMAND AN APOLOGY AND A REFUND FROM THE OWNER. YOU ARE A FOOL IF YOU STILL GO.

  • Pros: NONE
  • Cons: EXPENSIVE, GROSS FOOD, DARK AND DIRTY

Terrible! Waste of $$ and time!!!

by staciefr at Citysearch

Nothing was good at this place. Brought the kids there for a fun night and some decent food and didn't get either one! The place is dark... this is ALWAYS for a reason! It was cold in there too! The service was amateur at best, food was barely 'o.k.', the so-called 'ride' to get there was grossly dirty and the screen to watch the 'film' on was filthy... with a picture of the twin towers! now -come on! AND they charge $2 admission fee per person!!!! For what?!?!? Do NOT waste your time and $.... SOOO many other places to go that will provide the kids with plenty of entertainment and with good food! Giving it one star b/c I couldn't give zero!

  • Pros: None.
  • Cons: Everything! Atmosphere, food, facility, bathroom, prices...

  • Pros: none
  • Cons: everything

SUCKS!!!

by jojo2009 at Citysearch

There were 9 in our party (7 adults and 2 children), the waitress was impatient, and not very good at her job. We ordered drinks, and were missing one, one other was not the right one. We ordered 2 appetizers, and were brought 1 that we did not order, and it took about 20 mins to get someone (not our waitress, because she could not be found), to help. It took an additional 20 minutes to get the right appetizer, and then we had to ask them to please get us dishes and napkins, as we had a sampler for 4. Immediately after receiving the correct appetizer, our lunch appeared, not allowing us the opportunity to eat the appetizers. Once the orders came, two were supposed to be bacon cheeseburgers, and we got 2 burgers, when we told the person, they returned them to the kitchen and brought them back about 10 mins later, each with a cold slice of cheese, and what appeared to be either raw bacon, or bacon that was half cooked a day earlier. We decided not to order desert. To top off the insult and bad service, our order came to $300 for cheeseburgers and wraps , which included 18% mandatory gratuity which the waitress obviously did not deserve. We will NEVER return to that establishment again. I gave it one star because I couldn't put in less.

  • Cons: Pricey, the service is terrible and so is the food
