text: Marty's is a beautiful little upscale grocery and cafe on the Strip. For the type of business that they are, I can't speak highly enough about the ambiance: bright, natural light, cool murals, open kitchen and a nice, airy feel throughout. Marty's is two businesses, so I'll split my review accordingly:\n\nThe market gets a solid 3 1/2 stars from me; it is a great space with some creative details (like the repurposed library catalog for the spices) and there's some reasonable value given the location. I really like the two dollar small spice packets, which is a little pricier than bulk, but better quality than most bulk bins and much cheaper than the typical spice jars that you find in a grocery store. Their butcher is very good. Overall selection is on the small side. Prices are mostly competitive with Whole Foods. Service here is friendly.\n\nAs for the cafe, sadly 2 stars. The food is pretty good, although not spectacular. Just solid food made with decent basic ingredients. The coffee is better, and espresso drinks from the bar are some of the better cups that I've had around town. Service is deficient. I can't tell if they're understaffed or what, but table busing was very slow (we were quoted a 1/2+ hour wait when there were three open tables in plain sight) and wait service was not much faster. The hostess was unpleasant. Our table had garbage stuffed in one of the sugar holders (and there was no sugar, just stevia left). My order was mixed up. On the other hand, our waitress was friendly. But that alone couldn't cover up for the long interval waits (for fresh cream and sugar after receiving our coffee, for our food, for our check). Overall a pretty disappointing experience. To leave this review on a good note, however, the bathrooms were very clean (as was most of the store and restaurant space).
