   Always wonderful at Lamar. The ceviche and Tito’s are wonderful as are many other things on the menu. Definitely worth trying for a different type of flavor night out.

   This was our second visit to this restaurant. We got two different texts the evening of our reservation for earlier times? When I called back to confirm our correct time no answer and no one responded to my phone call. We arrived at 8:30 for our 8:45 reservation and were immediately seated. Our server Daniel was charming but a bit preoccupied by a large party next to us. Service was kind off from our previous visit. Perhaps because we were the final seating of the night? The first 2 dishes were excellent [ceviche and octopus] but then there was a long wait [30 minutes] for our last dish. Either the order didn't go thru or the kitchen forgot. When the hallibit finally arrived it was cooked perfectly but very bland. The sauce was so sparse that we couldn't even identify what it was and the rice was also bland and mushy. A rather disappointing end to a otherwise stellar meal. Daniel did give us dessert and told us to ask for him when we return so he could have something special for us. We'll be back but won't order the hallibit, which is my favorite fish.

   Second time to dine at La Mar and we had another outstanding dinner. We celebrated a birthday and were fortunate enough to be seated at the chef’s table! What an amazing dining experience- the service was impeccable and the cuisine was delectable. We appreciate the very personal attention and the friendliness of all the staff. Cannot wait to dine at La Mar again! Thank you for making our celebration so special!

   Loved the food, everything was fresh and delicious; tiradito, empanadas, lomo saltado, salmon nikkei and 3 leches. Pisco Sour very refreshing. Service very courteous and prompt.

   It is shameful that a restaurant of this size and wealth has only two single use bathrooms. On each of the five times I’ve eaten here I have had to be away from my dinner companion for up to ten minutes because of lines for both bathrooms accommodating the bar and the large restaurant. The owners who have many restaurants could easily afford to reconstruct their bathrooms to achieve a more friendly dining experience
