   Couldn't have a full meal our party of two was sat beside a loud party and we could barely have a conversation. Waitress could barely hear us. Totally understand if it was packed but there were plenty of other empty tables they could have seated us. When we mentioned the noise we were told "it's a good thing you aren't sitting out there" (main room) which actually was better.

   A little disappointed : ( I expected the food to be expensive but the prices for the portion size were outrageous! The food was tasty (we ordered about 9 different things to try) but nothing super amazing. There are other Mediterranean and seafood places with better food that is cheaper. Be ware of the "Greek fried potatoes"- which were $15 French fries with no seasonings or anything. Not to mention it was packed, very loud, and service was horrible. We had reservations at 8 and did not even get our drink order taken until 9- sat there starving and thirsty. Food took forever. Did not leave until almost 11 pm. I would suggest this place for 1-2 apps and a cocktail only, better off going to Joe Muir for a nice seafood meal!

   Great concept.AWFUL execution!!! Waited 2+ hours with no food. Ordered appetizers and they came with the main course. Asked about the desserts they offered when we ordered our meal and the waiter told us to wait to order them because most would probably be gone. AWFUL place!! Won’t be back!!

   We are aware when going to B'ham, one pays for the location, but the portions (4 scallops on a entree!) chicken rather dry and the cost.......did not justify the cost or visit and lastly $10./ for Valet parking!!! You do realize we just went thru 2 yrs. of a pandemic. Needless to say, we weren't impressed

   The food was outstanding! The menu was a bit confusing and not well explained by our server. I only kind of understood because I had read reviews. Everything was really great, but it was Really expensive. The fish we chose was over $300 for three people which was more than we expected. We dine out at least twice a week in Birmingham and while we will return, it will probably not be part of our regular rotation.

   Excellent dinner at Mare. All dishes flawlessly executed. We shared a salt baked fish amongst 4 for the main dish which was excellent although we had to wait a while for it to be cooked. Given it’s primarily a fish restaurant their wine list could use some more white options. All in all a great experience while being very fully priced.

    Ceviche, frutti di Mare appetizer, octopus appetizer were out of this world. An excellent Caesar salad and an exceptional vegetable risotto. The best crème brûlée I’ve ever had.Those were my experiences. I’ve been here three times and each one was better than the next.

    The fish was excellent . The staff was trying but not attentive. The noice level was off the charts. We had to scream at each other to hear was anyone of us was saying. When we mentioned it to the hostess she shrugged her schoolers and said “ well, it’s a restaurant “. The valets were snooty. I have never written of such a disappointing experience before this one. Obviously we will not go back and suggest to our friends not to go the restaurant.

    Would liked to have had the music a bit quieter. Overall too loud to have an intimate conversation. Split Carpaccio three ways and had only five crostini to share. Wine was served before we finished our cocktails and approximately 30 minutes before our main courses were served.

    Not an enjoyable experience for us. When we go out to eat, part of the fun is to enjoy the company of our companions. It was a challenge to do so here because it was crowded and entirely too loud to hear each other. Didn't help to have a screaming toddler seated right behind us on top of all the noise, mixed with music. The concept of choosing your fish is a good one, except at 5:30 they were out of the Dover Sole which is what I wanted. You pay for the entire fish and it is by the pound, so it is an expensive meal. Especially when you add appetizers, and sides. What we did order was well prepared and tasty. The service was friendly and attentive. But this will be our first and last time at this restaurant. If you like noise and loud diners, this is for you. It just wasn't for us.

    Decor is nice, food is mediocre, portion sizes are laughable, service is (maybe a sign of the times) hard to get. The fish I had was the Emperor it was not too bad but at $80/pound I would have expected it to be a little better and accompanied by something more than a mere 5 leaves of Swiss chard.

    Mare Mediterranean is a beautiful restaurant. The lighting is particularly attractive. And the service is great. However, the meals are extremely expensive and it is just plain noisy! We went with friends for a special occasion dinner and, unfortunately, spent much of the dinner bemoaning the cost of the entrees. The crowd is young and apparently accustomed to very high-priced menus.

    Fish baked in salt was delicious. We should have asked how much it was before ordering. It ended up being $320 for 3-4 servings. Service was also a little slow.

    Oh my GOSH this was amazing. We started with the salmon sashimi (out of this world) and the shrimp. Warm rosemary bread. We picked out our fish & the way we wanted it cooked. It was filleted for us tableside. Sides were awesome and the dessert was impeccable. Exemplary service. We will be back.
