We had such a great time tonight celebrating friendship and making memories. This restaurant was recommended to us by friends who live in the area. Great recommendation because the serving was exceptional and the food and adult beverages were great.
The food was great.
The service was awesome. We would return. We were celebrating a birthday and they made it special.

Came here for breakfast, For the price you pay services isn't the greatest, food came out super super slow, food isn't bad. Would not come here again

The hummus was delicious but the seasoning on the pita was very burnt giving it a bitter taste. The bucatini was delicious and I would order it again. The kabob and rice was the best thing we ordered with authentic middle eastern flavors. We chose

I really enjoy going to eat at Mara, both for breakfast and dinner. They infuse Mediterranean flavors into classic dishes in some really inventive ways. Some highlights for breakfast include the Sorghum Pancakes which are super light and not too swee
Our family loves Mara and all the staff that works so hard
Our family loves Mara and all the staff that works so hard there. Nic and David as great servers in the morning - which is one of our favorite breakfast spots. Happy hour at the bar is very nice with the drinks and complementary toasted chickpeas

It was really surprising how slow the service was when we were only 1 of 4 tables in the bar area. That is a shame as the calamari was very tasty and the drinks were very well made. It is a beautiful restaurant but one that I would only visit during
I've dined here so many times now and i highly recommend it.
Everything i've had has always been incredible whether it be for brunch or dinner. I loved how they gave us complimentary sesame bread to start, which must be new because this was my first time receiving it. This time, i got the sardine toast fo

We have had some great apps and drinks in the bar, but dined in the dining room this time. So subpar. Tartare was over sauced and tough. The burrata was average. Most disappointing was the lobster risotto. Definitely the worst risotto dish I've

Mara was phenomenal.
The decor was clearly Art Deco inspired. Our waiter was incredibly helpful and diligent. All the food was incredible. I started with the Burata and had the lobster risotto as my main course. It was filled with giant chunks of lobster meat. I als

Found this spot thanks to a reel on instagram and boy am I glad I did. A friend and I went here on a Friday night. We were greeted by name by our server who was top tier the entire night. Attentive, kind, so knowledgeable. He helped us with wine an
I visited Mara while attending an event at the Four Seasons.
My friend and I sat at the bar, enjoyed a drink, and shared the Turkish flatbread--highly recommend that. They also offered a popular cocktail that resembled a Ramos Fizz, which was exceptionally delicious. My friend ordered the L'ORANGE cocktai
Skip It
The winter evening that finds me at Mara Bar in Minneapolis's Four Seasons feels heavy with promise unfulfilled. The Christmas lights twinkle halfheartedly, and a distant roar of game night crowds filters through the lobby's expensive silen
Somewhat Disappointing
I had dinner at Mara twice during the past four months, in August with a group of 10, and in December with a group of 7. The first visit began badly and stayed that way. The restaurant had lost our reservation. After finally seating us and providing
Wonderful and Fantastic Service
I enjoyed a wonderful Birthday dinner tonight with family at Mara Restaurant & Bar at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Minneapolis. We dined on Wagyu Beef Tartare, Humus with Crispy Chickpeas and Crudite, American Wagyu Flat Iron Steak, Cherm

Attended a party at Mara and everything was excellent from the moment I stepped on property. Each staff member really went above and beyond for every interaction. Plus the food was exceptional. I think I fell in love when the NY strip was placed in f
I absolutely love this place.
The ambiance, the vibe the food and aesthetics are all top class. Staff are very friendly and professional.They have food that is Turkish/Arabic infused as well as other cuisine from around the world.

Can we call this place a hidden gem? We were visiting the city and before that, I looked up some restaurants. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything about this one. While we were walking downtown, I randomly found Mara. We even walked past it without n

I just moved to downtown and what a start to my adventure in downtown Minneapolis! Mara is across from where I live now, after the reviews I read about Mara, I had to check it out. Took my daughters for lunch, the ambiance, the service and the food
Mara was beautiful.
The space was very inviting and calm. The food was beautiful and delicious - especially the octopus carpaccio. Chadwick, our server, offered just the right amount of input and help with the menu, and was fun to chat with. Overall, the experience was
Food was excellent.
The crudité that came with the baba ghanoush was especially good. The pita and the dessert soufflé were also amazing.
Salty and pricey food.
Small portion for food and cocktail. I had this cocktail with three huge ice rocks in it. Our server was okay but seems she is hurry and can't wait to have the next table in. She checks very frequently and was trying to take dishes right away when we

Top-notch fine dining restaurant with exquisite menu and great ambience. Service, as usual in Four seasons - excellent!

There's a variety of food, and it is all cooked very well! It was served up in individual plates or cups to be easy to grab. I wish there was a way to request just a plate of shrimp and not take 6 cups of the shrimp, for example. I would highly rec

The restaurant is located in the main level of the Four Seasons hotel -- so expectations were high. We had a reservation and were seated quickly. The restaurant has an open floor concept with the kitchen fully exposed as well. I love the openness but
Very good but far from excellent!
Mara is just about worthy of a very good rating, but far from excellent. Since opening we have been to Mara 3 times now and, each time the food has gone down hill just a little bit; the dishes have good spicing but the presentation can be a little cl
A wonderful night!
Service is outstanding. Nothing more to say there. The menu is intriguing, and tempting overall. It was hard to choose, but the Lebanese dumpling was great. Good selection of wines and spirits, and a pleasant atmosphere. My only suggestion: revisit t
The Best!
My goodness, what an amazing restaurant and bar! The details in the drinks and the food were the absolute best. The staff is very professional yet personable and extremely knowledgeable about what they were serving me. The atmosphere is very nice as
Excellent dining
Excellent restaurant, delicious food. European sea bass with tabouléh and chick peas salad, delicious. Red snapper with broccolini also delicious. My daughter rated the chicken highly. Wait staff very knowledgeable about the food but also about Minn

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Mara Restaurant and Bar Minneapolis. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Mara Restaurant and Bar Minneapolis at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Mara Restaurant and Bar Minneapolis page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Mara Restaurant and Bar Minneapolis to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Mara Restaurant and Bar Minneapolis!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
