The Bottom Line

MARS 2112 is a theme restaurant. It can be fun for kids, but may be pricey. The food isn't that expensive for Times Square, but the extras, like the shuttle ride and the video arcade can add up.
Pros
  • Kid friendly
  • A fun place to eat
Cons
  • Can be expensive
  • May be long wait

Guide Review - Mars 2112

I have never actually been to this restaurant. As I understand it, the food is okay, but it is the atmosphere that makes the place. For an additional fee, diners take a "shuttle ride" to Mars for dinner. The dining area is a designed as a cavern on Mars with a window that lets you see the planet, and above is a view of the sky with Earth in the distance. I'm not sure this is a place I'd take my parents, but I will be taking my nephew when he is old enough. I think this restaurant and a Broadway show will make a memorable day.
