We made a reservation and was seated at our table right on time. The wait staff were elite, and the food incredibly delicious. I only go there on special occasions, in this case a birthday, and they went out of their way to make my sweetheart feel special. I would highly recommend this restaurant as there is none like it. I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our special occasion restaurant. Two birthdays--great! Out of town visitors--blew them out of the water and they decided they needed to come back for dinner the next day. Knowledgeable servers, delicious and inventive food/cocktails, beautiful building and setting.

First time at La Mar Cocina, it was fair. It would be nice if the menu was also in english. I couldn't tell if the dish I was ordering was spicy. So of course I asked the service person and they said no. In fact it was spicy......The food was just mediocre.

This place was amazing. I highly recommend their 5 course meal with the wine paring. Carlos was our server so if your able to be accompanied by him you know your in good hands. The delicacies that we had were such high class and the food around us made me want to come back more. This is truly a one of a kind Peruvian restaurant.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We only ordered fish, both sashimi and grilled, and it was fresh and perfect. The sauces were wonderfully flavorful. The tres leche cake and the chocolate cake were a very good end to our meal. I look forward to going back there and sharing the experience with friends and family. Danny our server took wonderful care of us and he is a gem. He and the others who delivered the food, beverages, and removed plates all worked together in a perfect dance.

Stellar service. Both of us thought the food was tasty, but not enough to want us to return. Especially at those prices. Friday night was noisy, but the high ceilings helped alleviate echos; conversation was not a problem.

Daniel took care of my pre-ordered appetizers and The crew made it unforgettable for my Retiree by bringing him a congratulatory dessert! Thank you La Mar - One day I will go and eat there. My collegues has been telling me how wonderful your restaurant is - from service, to food to hospitality. Joann

I love Peruvian food and really wanted to love this place - but just found it to be OK - nothing exceptional. Asked for "not too sweet" cocktail recommendation and our waiter's choice was unfortunately sweeter than expected - oh well. Menu is difficult to read/comprehend but our waiter did a good job guiding us through the choices. We started with the cebiches tasting (my favorite dish that we ordered) - bright and delicious! We also had the chicharron de calamares - very crispy, but squid was over cooked and dry. Not good. We had the lomo saltado and the pulp to share as entrees. The lomo lacked flavor (and what?, no fried egg?) and the octopus was properly cooked and tender but sauce was thick and muddy - needed acid. Not sure I'd go back - not terrible - just not great.

The appetizers and dessert were absolutely wonderful. The main course (scallops) was okay, we didn’t finish even half of it. The ambiance was really nice! Our main server was very helpful and kind; she’s getting a 5 star from me. However, we had a major unpleasant issue: a different server came to our table when my partner was in the restroom and PICKED UP HIS CHAIR without saying a word and just took it to a different table (it was an empty table and there were no chairs). I was shocked! I confronted him saying that this chair is being used (which was obvious, because there was a plate in front of it) and if he wants, he take one of the empty chairs on the other side of the table. He made a face at me, blurbed “how many chairs do you need”, and then replaced my partner’s chair with one of the spare chairs. No apologies, nothing. Extremely rude. When my partner came back, he noticed water spots on the new chair and had to exchange his chair. That’s probably why the server didn’t take that spare chair in the first place. Terrible service and something that made our otherwise nice experience sour. This was our second time at La Mar; the first one was amazing, so I’ll consider this one as an unfortunate accident; had it been my first time, I would never return here.
