One of the best prix fixe meals I have ever had. The egg and caviar appetizer stood out but everything was amazing. Hope to go back soon
It was a good food experience and we chose Mari only because we have been to Kochi (its sister restaurant). The food was Michelin level except from the main which I believe was disappointing and not impressive - noting that we went for the classic tasting menu (i.e. without the optional steak). Another slight frustration was the waiter was not friendly and if any pushy for us to get drinks or the optional steak. It did not feel like suggestion but more you should get it which felt strange. Overall the food was decent level (lower than my expectations as Kochi is definitely better). There was nothing special in the dining atmosphere and service sub optimal.
Really terrific experience. Tasting menu was terrific. Service was wonderful explaining the dishes when we had questions on preparation and ingredients. Overall great evening.
The tasting menu was like when D'Angelo released The Black Messiah album after a 14 year hiatus. They took foods I've known and loved for years, and gave them to me in enhanced innovative ways I had no idea were possible. The staff were very personable and answered any questions I had about the courses. 10/10 experience.
Second time and Mari and it was absolutely delicious. We went for my mom's birthday. Staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Sommelier went out of his way to find the perfect wine for us. Was a quiet night due to it being Super Bowl and freezing but we have an amazing experience and can't wait to go back!
I dined here 2 years ago and brought my family back this time around. Service was always amazing, we all felt welcomed. Food quality wasn't as great as before. We all paid extra for the toro and uni handroll, and it was kinda disappointing for the very little amount of uni they gave. Wagyu handroll was meh. Few dishes were heavily seasoned and were on the salty side. I came home feeling thirsty rest of the night. The pre-dessert and the acutal dessert included 2 sorbets and a side of shaved ice. Personally I don't think its a good way to end a dinner with the 20 degrees icy weather outside. The overall dinning experience was average. For this price, I probably won't come back again.
For a completely different and unique Korean food experience. Mari is definitely a good choice. The tasting was well curated, amazingly delicious. Very attentive staff and great service. Highly recommend.
Great food and Serbia. Too Loud. Definitely worth recommending and doing it twice. Love bar.
The tasting menu plus wine pairings were fantastic! My favorite was the egg and caviar, spicy tuna, and mushroom hand roll. We did not sit at the bar, we sat at a table but it was still a great experience. The service was fantastic - they all explained how to best eat each item. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

Exceptional service, but extremely overpriced for the experience. Nothing ‘wowed’ me, but the 1st appetizer (egg and caviar) was probably the best thing.
Hand rolls were tiny, and most were overpowered with sauce.

This restaurant was insane! The egg and caviar dish as well as the spicy tuna were two of the best things I've ever tasted. 
We had a great dining experience from food to service at Mari and recommend a visit for people who are interested in a blended experience of traditional and creative takes on Korean cuisine.
From a service perspective, they were super accommodating with our time constraints and didn’t make us feel any type of way about not having as much time as what’s recommended. I don’t remember the bartender’s name, but he was super friendly and personable.
The food was overall amazing, and in my opinion, punched above its weight class for the price point and star status. The bites played a lot with different textures, the layers of flavors were also very well constructed and thought out.
The jjamppong broth was excellent, had a great kick. The banchan wasn’t a standout, but that also wasn’t the main point of the dish.

YEP THIS WHERE I GET A SOUP AND DESSERT AND A TAXI HOME FROM MAMA MARI YEP. BEFORE THE SPOOKIES COME OUT AT NIGHT. THEY GOT ASIAN WHITE BOY NEON SPOOKIES RIGHT HERE. ITS HER SONS I SAW THAT SHIET MYSELF
We sat at the chef's table and enjoyed a unique meal. The tasting menu was mainly Korean-style sushi, an incredible burst of flavor in every bite. Two of us also had the wine pairings, and we were pleased with the selections. We had a main waiter and two other members of the wait staff who assisted in removing plates and informing us of what we were eating and drinking. The service was very attentive without being obtrusive. The place is classy while being laidback. I checked out the room, and it appeared that everyone was enjoying the evening.
