I had the chance to eat here on a calmer Wednesday night, and honestly, it was the best service I’ve had in all of New York. It's a family-run establishment, and my boyfriend and I had the pleasure of meeting Gino (and even his sweet mother, who stopped in for an espresso and a warm hello). The food was top-notch, and we left wanting to learn how to make it at home. I still dream of those dumplings. Mark my words, this is gonna become one of the best restaurants in Brooklyn for sure! Also, try the lamb sandwich with a shot of Rakia; I promise you won’t be sorry.

Best Balkan food in Brooklyn! Delicious Albanian dry white wine. I had the best lamb sandwich! The hospitality was fantastic. The restaurant was very clean and welcoming. We loved dining outside. Thank you for having us. We will definitely be back soon.

The Mediterranean food is super fresh and tasty. The natural flowers and chill music create a vibe that made me feel like I was on the shores of Greece, Albania, Italy, or even the south of Spain. The location is perfect, and the staff are really friendly. I’ll definitely be back!

I can confidently say Marson is the best spot in gravesend! The food is absolutely top-notch—no one else even comes close. Whether I’ve been for brunch or dinner every dish has been a hit. The concept here is so unique and refreshing; it’s exactly what this neighborhood has been missing. What really sets this place apart, though, is the owner. She’s a natural in the food service industry, backed up by years of experience! hands-on, warm, and personable—her outstanding personality completely shines through in the entire experience, menu, and quality. Thank you Rina for bringing this place to gravesend! Marson is on track to becoming a neighborhood staple— and it already is for my friends and family. 1000/10 If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out, you won’t regret it!

What an amazing new gem in the area. Hospitality at its finest. The waitresses were so entertaining and convivial. The owner stopped by to say hi and made the experience even better. The good 5 ⭐. Healthy light options for the summer with a great Arugula nut salad with beets and apples. The dumplings amazing. The calamari perfectly fried with zucchini and a homemade dipping sauce. And they have a cute outdoor seating for the season. Will be back. Thanks the great hospitality!

Hidden gem in Brooklyn!!! Marson Caffé serves fresh and flavorful food in a bright, plant-filled space with great vibes. The cocktails are balanced and made with fresh ingredients, and the wine list is solid. The Fritto Misto is a MUST HAVE—I’ve been craving it since! The fresh bruschetta amuse bouche on house-made bread is an extra special touch, I’d pay for that if it wasn’t free. You can feel the love here. This place is from the heart—excellent value, yummy dishes, and a must-try experience.

Stopped in for an early dinner. It was nice and quiet. We got to enjoy our small conversation in peace which we appreciated. To start we got the Greek salad and the Mezze plate. Both were delicious. The roasted cauliflower on the Mezze plate was my favorite. The hummus is a bit thicker and chunkier compared to most hummuses but it was still very good with pita bread. For entrees, we ordered the Branzino with a side of roasted potatoes and the mushroom risotto (not pictured). The branzino was sooo good with the sweet potato puree underneath it. I highly recommend ordering it. The side of potatoes were good as well and it came with tzatziki sauce. The mushroom risotto was decent. It lacked a bit of flavor in my opinion but it wasn't bad at all. We enjoyed our dinner. Thank you for great service!
