Marx Cafe is a Mount Pleasant gem. I often pop in for a quick dinner and always leave happy. (Tip: Get the avgolemono soup and ask for black pepper! The menu is reasonably priced, and the staff are all great. Yes, the space is small and often crowded, especially when the live jazz band performs, but that's part of the charm. It feels a lot more authentic than a lot of pricier options in the area.If you're looking for a place that can be your local bar, then this more than fits the bill. I'm moving out of the neighborhood in a few months; I'll miss having such an awesome place be only a five-minute walk from my apartment!

Poorly run. Wanted to sit and have a full meal for 3. There's a soccer game on, OK. For some reason at the communist restaurant we weren't able to just share a 4 person table that 1 person was occupying. Half the tables were done and just sitting there nursing a drink. Maybe have options for the fans to watch games outside too so inside tables can be flipped quicker or allow sharing. Plenty of other places in the city to go.
