Rishi ShahMay 27, 2017Delicious scrumptious Peruvian food with a decent view of the pier. Had the quinoa bowl and added chicken, absolutely delicious. Only unfortunate thing is the view is covered by ferries
Cameron WAugust 9, 2015The ceviche tasting was excellent! The empanada sampler completed the perfect weekend lunch on the outdoor patio. Try the mango picoso, a little bit of heat contrasts mango nicely.
Wilson Favre-DelerueMarch 10, 2016As good as the Lima original! Excellent ceviches, tiraditos but also meat dishes. Not to mention cocktails, pisco sour amongst many others!
Jetset ExtraJune 17, 2013There are many wonderful choices on La Mar’s brunch menu, which augments its Peruvian cuisine with Spanish, Japanese, & Italian influences. Still, starting your brunch with cocktails is a no-brainer. Read more
Carmen IbarraMay 3, 2015I love going for a bite at the bar. Aom, the bar manager, is a great host. Always makes me feel welcomed... Always smiling! ❤️ Great Peruvian choice.
StephanySeptember 9, 2018All three of the ceviche we tried were excellent. One of the few places I’ve found in SF with great Pisco Sours.
Brian StraussAugust 7, 2023Great “cebiches” and other raw dishes. And expansive menu of Peruvian seafood and meat dishes. Gorgeous waterfront location. Great for dinner maybe better for lunch. Great Mother’s Day spread.
Chris MessinaOctober 2, 2018HH: Daily 3-6pm; Select $6 cocktails, including Pisco Sour, Pisco Punch, Old Fashioned, and Blue Mule+ staples, like Cebiche Classico ($9), Taco Chifero ($9), empanada ($6), and quinoa burger ($6).
AmateurConciergeFebruary 13Went here for a happy hour and they had a great spirit selection, but the Peruvian style crudo going around was really the winner. Excellent excellent prep and fresh fish
Heather WilliamsAugust 13, 2019The tiradito nikkei is fantastic! My husband and I could eat it all night long! The choco-maracuyo is aMAZing! The chocolate balances out the tartness of the passion fruit.
Simon FranklinDecember 9, 2018Our office Christmas party here and enjoyed their fresh, beautiful food of a incredible high standard. Service came on a little strong with the up-selling however.
Ashok LalwaniOctober 28, 2014Great place, awesome food and good ambience. Didn't enjoy the cocktails so much but great food very much makes up for it. Quinoa Chaufa was one of the best quinoa dishes I have had.
Rachel RebeccaMay 29, 2017The service here was really good, and the food here was quite delicious, I had the calamari, the ceviche, and the Rice paper drink. It was really pricey, but the proportioning was quite fair.
AnnaOctober 1, 2015This restaurant is perfect! Cuisine, service, spacious interior... And their new option of food pre-ordering and table booking via the Allset app is great – you are served at once, no wait!
Jenny KJuly 23, 2015Everything we tasted was absolutely delicious! Especially enjoyed the salmon, arroz la mar, and tres leches. Lived up to the hype.
Frank WangAugust 14, 2014Cebiche is phenomenal. Large sashimi-like pieces. Pisco sour is quite a tasty cocktail. Plancha de mariscos has excellent smoky char to it.
Gozde ÇAVDARNovember 6, 2016Perfect service, delicious food! I wrote a small note to my reservation.They brought surprise dessert with a candle for my husbnds birthday. They made us very happier after eating very delicious food.
Anne NJune 3, 2018Original Ceviche, Dungeness Crab on Purple Potato, and Lomo (grilled tenderloin) were all excellent!!! Get a table outside by the water. Will not disappoint!!!
heatJuly 19, 2013Ceviche is from Peru, and it’s delicious. Drowned in citrus, raw seafood is combined with other fresh ingredients. There is a fun bar on the Embarcadero side, if you want to just sip some wine.
HelenMarch 5, 2013Go for happy hour for half off pisco cocktails. It's a cebicheria, so duh, get the ceviche! There's a sampler platter of 4 different ceviches if you have a hard time deciding.
Maddy CookeJune 1, 2014It's Dine About week in San Francisco and we decided to try La Mar. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we can't have ceviche today :( We did try the amazing empanadas and veggie options. Delicious!
Jackie JeongFebruary 12, 2012This place is OMG! Best ceviche I've ever had in my life. many agree. Just opened one in NY. Havent been to yet but the one is San Fran is amazing! Try ceviche sampler and passion fruit cocktail!
Sabina HuqMarch 23, 2013Without a doubt one of the best restaurants SF has to offer! Service was attentive, views are gorgeous and ceviches are to die for! I'm salivating at the mere thought!
Hannah GMAugust 1, 2016Drinks, ceviche mixto, and jaleita are 💯. Come during happy hour (3-6) for some of the best deals in SF.
X-tina 🦄September 6, 2016Ceviche is delicious (big fat chunks of fish, different flavors like sweet potato & corn nuts.) Prickly pear Margarita was really good but for $13 it was awfully a small glass.
Jan-Nicolas VandervekenSeptember 12, 2010Great patio, amazing food and we even got a free order of ceviche. You must order the "buñuelos de chocolate" for desert (orange glazed chocolate beignets with banana and passion fruit ice cream). Read more
Rewan PartiJune 10, 2015Get the waterfront view tables! Order the ceviche neiki and grilled octopus. They have delicious food and great service.
Jess LMarch 13, 2016Everything is delicious down to the plantain chips they bring to every table (heads up that they charge for this at happy hour though)
Anechka M.November 2, 2016Ask for pisco sour size cathedral! Portions are not as generous as in Chile but service is excellent and anticuchos are great
Karla DonjuanSeptember 30, 2017Ceviche mixto is all you need 😍 try the ceviche tasting and get a draft beer, or 2. Happy hour only available in the bar
- Dimitri NikulinSeptember 22, 2015From Cebiche California to Quinoa Burger — you can now enjoy your sit-down lunch at La Mar served on your time. Use Allset on iPhone and Android. Read more
Alexandre MunhozSeptember 22Nice vibe, good service but food is okay.. tried the Laqueado ceviche. The La Mar in Mexico City and Santiago are far better.
Manolo Gonzalez MirandaApril 9, 2018Ceviche clásico and Lomo Saltado are a must!! Don’t forget to try the pisco sour, ir is delicious!!
Angel FuMarch 31, 2015Went their during the SF restaurant week. Love the open kitchen design and the view of the bay. Food was amazing as well.
Igor PradoJanuary 25, 2017Participating in the Restaurant Week... totally worth it!!! Drink CHICHA MORADA is delicious ans traditional from Peru
Frank KimFebruary 8, 2014The cebiche was great, but the empanadas there were the most memorable part, best I've ever had.
Mangat RaiAugust 13, 2015Upscale peruvian restaurant. Don't know much about peru food. So i can only say place look pretty fancy, perfect for date- Brad ManzerJuly 15, 2016If you're a tourist or a local, La Mar is always a terrific experience. Save room for the pastry chef's creations.
Kouros MohitSeptember 17, 2013The wifi password is Lamar100 so you don't have to ask. The blue sapphire martini hit the spot.
Benjamin ThompsonAugust 27, 2015Amazing seafood and exquisite deserts. Try a cocktail in the bar before dinner too!
GourmetLiveOctober 16, 2010La Mar is a big restaurant with a big menu. This is Peruvian food—a cuisine influenced by the whole world and jacked up with heat and—filtered through Chef Gaston Acurio’s European training.
Richard BalanderJuly 31, 2014Arroz la mar and mixto skewers absolutely delicious. A bit expensive,but what the hell we're on vacation.
Genevieve CWApril 29, 2012Try the Causas Tasting - I ordered these when I saw a plate sitting on the counter, and they were SO CUTE!!! Tuna on spicy whipped potato was my favorite =D
Stijn Ortega coppinJune 1, 2015Peruvian food by the bay. Can't go wrong really. Quite authentic even though not exactly the same as its original brother in Lima.
Mischa LumiereAugust 28, 2014Love the ceviche at La Mar. Always perfect!! I could eat here everyday.
