What a let down! We have been to Mars on many occasions prior to this Saturday evening, but I will not be back. We waited 1 & 1/2 hours (exactly as quoted), had drinks, spoke to the wonderful bartender, and finally was offered a table outside. We declined and were promptly seated at an inside table. Drinks and appetizers arrived quickly; however, the evening declined from there. Food did not arrive until 50 minutes after the appetizers. The ribs were so so, and the vegetarian plate was horrific and lukewarm. The server chose to ignore us after the appetizers were taken away. No apology or reason for the entree wait was offered. You would think that when Valentine's Day falls on a work day that Mars would expect a crowd such as this on the previous weekend and be prepared. Consequently, not so.
Pros: great bartender
Cons: poor service, inedible food
