Fantastic neighborhood spot that i wish was in my neighborhood. Food is delicious and ambiance is perfect for a relaxing dinner out with friends and/or family. Service is always delightful. Cocktails are great too!

Food, service, and ambiance is always perfect here! Frankie's is the best.

The Global Italian concept that Cafe Mars planned for this year is just phenomenal. So creative, so dedicated to Italian cuisine wherever it appears, a great concept. I've been to the first two--Chicago and Ethiopia/Eritrea--and they were both hugely successful on every level. In particular, I had no idea what to expect this past Saturday for the Ethiopia/Italian dinner. Every dish was unexpected and special, beautifully blending the two cultures. The endnote for the Chicago dinner was a pizza puff brought to Canal Bar, the Chicago-style dive bar next door, to be enjoyed with a shot of Chicago's Malört. The endnote for the Ethiopian dinner was a take-home panettone from Cafe Mars' collaborating restaurant for the event, Settepani. Attention to every detail of the whole experience. If you haven't been to Cafe Mars, go now (and often) to experience the delights of the regular menu and then plan on making the Global Italian dinners for the rest of the year--Albania is next! Yum and more yum! Thank you Cafe Mars!!!

Shan was recommended by a female duo I follow on IG...bklynmavens. The experience surpassed my expectations, every dish was delicious with a bit of spice but not to overwhelm. My dinner companion does not eat meat and our waiter suggested the Dan Dan noodles without pork and it was a home run, she's currently looking up a recipe online to attempt it at home lol. She had the prawn dry pot as well and we both did the happy dance when tasted. I was not disappointed with my duck entree that came with buns, duck was cook to perfection and the sauce was perfect for that meal. We split the coconut cotta dessert, different for us but a welcomed change, tasty yet light. We will definitely return with others to experience Shan. Thank you for the good food and service!

Great food, great service! We always enjoy a meal here!
