Mari

Mari is open evenings only. Typical hours are Mon–Thu and Sun 5:00 pm–9:30 pm, and Fri–Sat 5:00 pm–10:00 pm. For holiday hours or special events check with the restaurant, as guests report it operates on major nights like Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

Tuesday to Thursday evenings are often the best days for a quieter, more relaxed tasting experience. Many guests note midweek seatings feel calmer and allow you to better enjoy the counter interaction; weekends are more lively and sometimes louder.

Yes, Mari is a fantastic choice for a special date night. The Michelin-starred tasting menu of Korean hand rolls is intimate and inventive, and many guests praise the attentive, warm service and the chef’s-counter experience for a memorable evening. It’s a slightly dressy but relaxed spot in Hell’s Kitchen; consider booking counter seats and adding the wine pairing for an elevated experience.

Portions are served as a multi-course tasting menu, small, meticulously crafted bites rather than large entrées. Guests frequently note there are many courses (often 12–14) and that you’ll leave satisfied and full, especially if you add pairings or a special add-on like wagyu.

Early weeknights or an earlier evening before a show are great times to go. Guests praise calmer midweek seatings and note the team is good at pacing meals for theatergoers. If you prefer a lively scene, weekend nights and holidays are busier and more energetic.

Yes, the team is accommodating. Guests report the restaurant handles dietary restrictions, timing requests for shows, and personal touches like printed menus with your name. Call ahead to confirm substitutions, timing needs, seating requests, or allergy information so the staff can prepare.

Mari feels contemporary, intimate, and energetic, a polished but relaxed setting. Guests often call the service warm and the food theatrical. Noise can rise when the room fills, and some guests find it lively; others praise a quieter, low-noise vibe on less busy nights. Counter seating adds theater to the meal.

Families do dine here, and guests sometimes bring teens for birthdays and celebrations. Because Mari is a multi-course tasting experience focused on small, refined bites, it may be better suited for older children or teens. If you’re bringing younger kids, call ahead and consider an early seating or counter seating to ensure comfort.

Sometimes, guests report dining at Mari on holidays like Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve, so the restaurant does operate on major holidays at times. Because holiday hours can vary, call or check the restaurant’s announcements to confirm availability and special menus.

The dress code is casual dress, elevated but relaxed. Guests commonly wear smart-casual attire for this Michelin-starred tasting experience; you’ll feel comfortable in a nice sweater or casual dress for a special night out.

Busiest: weekend nights, holidays (New Year’s Eve), and popular pre- or post-theater times. Quietest: early weeknights or less-busy weekdays when guests report a calmer, more intimate experience. Reservations are recommended for busy nights.
