The owner of the Mars restaurant is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. Our experience was very pleasurable from start to finish. We'll definitely be back! It's one of the few places in the area that offers outdoor seating, too. Mars is a place where genuine people gather for a great meal. If you're too good for Mars... more

Some of these reviews seem a bit unfair. I have been going here for years and never had a problem. You do have to keep in mind though that this place is a restaurant AND a bar that allows smoking. If you dont know this going there, you will know right when you walk in -so if you have kids... more

We live in the area and typically visit Mars 3-4 times a year. There are fewer places in the Lake Geneva area to sit outside by a lake and have a cocktail than you would think. Mars is one of those places and that's probably the biggest reason why its always so busy. The second biggest reason is that there... more

Mars is more of a bar than a restaurant. The atmosphere was loud and smoking. Food quality was less than average. There was a loud, rude gentleman, obviously drunk, whom we were told was the owner Don. If so, that is no way to run a business. It will be the last time we visit Mars. If you are looking... more

Mars is a wonderful little restaurant with reasonable prices, extremely friendly staff and the BEST ribs. Every time we're up at the lake we plan a dinner at Mars and we've never been disappointed. I'd recommend going for "early dinner" (5:00ish) because the waiting line gets longer the later you eat. There are lots of seats near the windows and... more

this is a dirty, filthy bar restaurant in a great location. You can sit on the deck and look at Lake Como.. I had a cheeseburger there and they put fake cheese on it from a bottle.. I sent it back and didn't eat at all.. after all this is Wisconsin, America's Dairyland.. and I couldn't even get real chees... more

My wife and I discovered Mars (no, not the planet) a few years ago while out walking. Hidden away from the beaten track it is a gem in it's own right. Catering to the locality, casual tourists, plus residents dropping in from the nearby condos and hotels, it provides a different flavor of entertainment than the usual bar/restaurants and tourist... more

Many people may think Mars is a dirty place but really its not. When you walk in you feel like your at home. You know every person usually and the servers are really nice. The lake may look like ugh lets never come back but i have a house there and growing up it has been a great expierence mars... more
