   Service was excellent. Ambience was good. It’s a very cute date spot. Casual but nice. Only complaint was that our pasta was slightly too salty however our server took care of us and had it remade.

   Great food, incredible service. Only compliant is that our table overlooked the highway. If I were the owner, I would put the bar against that wall with service stations and maybe a couch or two on that side, and put tables everywhere else. If you go there, request a table away from the HW. Other than that, amazing food and service.

   We were eagerly looking forward to dining at Mare as we had heard such good things about it. Initiatially, our experience was quite pleasing with a beautiful ambience in a pleasant open setting. Cocktails were wonderful, and we must say that our Appetizers were amazing - Zuchini Flowers stuffed with Lobster, Grilled Octopus on Egglplant and Burata, and a delectable Surf & Turf with a seared Scallop with Beef Short Rib on a bed of Truffle Mashed Potatoe - each selection delctable, so good that we were looking forward to our main courses. Unfortunately, from there our review takes a nose dive south. Upon arrival of our Entrees, our server came to check on how everything tasted prior to our even taking a first bite. We then saw her again when we were completing our dinners - very disappointing. My wife had the Lobster on Tagliatelle with Lobster Sauce - the pasta was very fresh but lacking in quantity with a scant amount of lobter all in a very salty sauce. I had the Gnocchi with Frutti di Mare - again, very fresh Gnocchi that were plentiful, however, the seafood pieces were so small that I could have used a magnifying glass to see them, though flavorful and not salty (it did not look at all like like the photographs of the dish posted on the website that looked plentiful with seafood). Great start, awful and disappointing finish, will not be back.

   Food was outstanding. French fries were some of the best I’ve ever had. Seafood was fresh-we had oysters and lobster rolls. Service was impeccable. Very attentive without being obtrusive. The waiter read the table well. Will definitely go back again.

   My table ordered oysters and shrimp to start which were both very tasty. Two of us ordered the tableside cacio e pepe. We enjoyed it, but didn't feel like it was worth the price point. The third person ordered the tagliatelle with lobster and it was excellent! If I went back, I would just order that next time.

    A very enjoyable meal. We dine in the North End frequently but this was our first time dining at Mare. Service was wonderful. I've seen others complain about the tables being too close but we didn't have any problems with that. My pasta entree was a little too salty but overall, a great meal and will definitely return.

    Best shellfish I have ever had in my entire life and the greatest waiter who took care of us right away, knowing my young kids were hungry and tired, Alex, the amazing waiter put a rush on our order and it made all the difference. Oh, and the oysters were the best shucked oysters ever. Living on the west coast - I’m rarely given the opportunity to enjoy such fresh shellfish with such a professional and exceptional staff, 10 out of 10 for Mare!!

    Food is delicious but service was incredibly slow. They mentioned the kitchen was very busy but the restaurant was half full. We finally got our food about 80 minutes after we ordered. But when we did.....it was DELICIOUS. So, consider buffering some extra time to your meal and it'll be well worth it.

    Very cramped! The table next to us was so close the server couldn’t even stand next to us. Our view was a plexiglass wall and the freeway. The food was very disappointing. I’ve never left a bad review, but this was a major disappointment.

    I've been hitting Mare my last 4 times to Boston and it's always great. This time, I'd say it was good. 7 out of 10. It's time to try something else on Hanover St next time. Main disappointment was the tableside Cacio y Pepe. The overalls texture ends up just creamy, without the authentic texture of the grated parmagiano cheese and the pasta was not hot enough when served. Not worth $40. Is prefer it done right in the kitchen. Overall very good, but falls short for the price.

    We were super excited to try Mare- but we’re a little weary after reading some reviews. I honestly went in expecting service to be slow, and the food to be meh. Overall, we enjoyed our time but honestly the food and experience wasn’t worth the price. You can go to another place in the north end and have a better experience & better food for a more affordable cost. The food: we had oysters which were delicious, then the octopus which was also delicious… the eggplant with it was out of this world. For dinner, we got the gnocchi frutti de mare and the tagliatelle con Aragosta. The serving size was perfect for one person, but there were no leftovers. When you’re paying ~$40 per entree, you kind of hope you’ll have leftovers! In the tagliatelle, there was like two small pieces of lobster. Half a tail basically. The sauce was good but not incredible. The gnocchi was ok, a little chewy, & there wasn’t much seafood. Service: our waiter was super helpful and gave us honest opinions on the dishes. The restaurant was full, but the waiters seemed to be running around constantly. Not sure if this is how it always is, but it felt a little bit like they were overwhelmed. .

    This restaurant comes highly recommended. The food was amazing but the service was awful. I believe the waiter forgot to put our order in. No one checked on us , no sorry, forgot to bring a drink. Really disappointed. Don't think we'll return, plenty of other places to go to in the area!

    We have been here many times, food always great, but tonight the service was really bad -- ran out of octopus and didn't say anything we asked when our entrees were dropped where it was, brough wrong entree, didn't change out silver / plates, clean table, didn't check in after two mistakes by waiter on order, etc. Very sad, as food was perfect as usual, and many of the servers we have gotten to know over the years and are great, but this night, service as horrendous. Did not adjust our check or make any apology or effort to make right either, very sad.
