Like most great restaurants, Martel embodies the vision of its owner, Marty Levine. It is the culmination of his long history in the restaurant business, owning a series of renowned and successful restaurants, like Breakaway and Pane Vino.
Marty owns a home in the Dordogne region of France where he relishes, and is inspired by, the cuisine of the region. His regular visits to the local bistros were part of the inspiration for Martel. He "borrowed" the name Martel from a village
near his home. Martel's vibrant, lively atmosphere is like that of the best of the brasseries found
in all French cities. It's a great spot to meet friends for a drink, dinner
and a great time…
