These pisco sours are my favorite alcoholic beverage that isn't beer or wine. I first ate at the La Mar in Lima, Peru and this location is just as good. Great ceviche, causas, and empanadas, too.
This place is absolutely delicious. It's not quite authentic Peruvian... But rather it's fusion, which imho makes it even better in this case. the outdoor terrace on the back offer a nice view of the bay as well. The service was also excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant anytime.
Excellent service a unique atmosphere with exquisitely delicious dishes
Probably the best place to get authentic Peruvian ceviche in town.
Ceviche mixto is of unmatched quality.
There no where in the world you can get Anything that fresh seafood and stimulating to the palate.
Excellent meat and fish dishes with a South American and Japanese mix. Many seats.
If you come to San Fran, try the seafood, right? Cebiche is a whole new world of flavours, and La Mar Cebicheria is a great intro - next stop Lima. The catch of the day made for a great cebiche mixto but the icing on the cake was the causa nikkei .... yummmm.
I went here for happy hour, and I thought it was good. The prices for the drinks were decent. I wish I could say the same for the food. My ceviche was really small. I took a bite and it was gone.
The seating is first come, first serve, so it can get cramped and competitive really quickly. I was fortunate to get seats for me and my three girlfriends, especially since we didn't come at the same time.
I went here for lunch many years ago, and I thought the ceviche was delicious back then, so it's nice to know that they've been consistent.
It's a beautifully decorated restaurant with great views of the East Bay. If you're craving Peruvian food and a hip atmosphere, then this place is for you. Otherwise, if you are on a budget, this place, and perhaps the entire Embarcadero area, is not the place you'd want to be hungry.
Very good restaurant, very good authentic food, and even some vegetarian choices. Loved their tacu tacu. Nice employees who are ready to help. Fast service, and nice atmosphere.
Quite noisey, but that's just how it is San Fransisco.
The only bad thing I can say about La Mar is that they didn't have a big enough selection of non-alcoholic drinks.
4 stars from me.
The best Peruvian cuisine in San Francisco and a very striking location and dining room. Their Pisco Sours are a must!
This place doesn t need good reviews. They simply have the best ceviche you ll ever try!
Pisco sours, special root vegetable chips, several great dipping sauces. Those are all you need for a happy couple of hours at the bar here.
Happy Hour allowed my daughter to eat Peruvian cebiche in San Francisco.
Nice and classy place with good service an attention for referenced menu suggestions.. a bit pricey but too bad for the SF Bay. Added to my personal favorites.
Wonderful dining atmosphere with great views of the SF Bay
Good Lomo Saltado and a dock where you can leave your boat from 10:00am-10:00pm.
Great service with great food! For an early lunch, we were seated immediately. The crab cocktail is delicious and the mint strawberry nojito is the right level of sweet and sour. For an entree, you can never go wrong with their clam chowder. This is usually my family's go-to place for Pier 39.
Hands down best modern Peruvian restaurant in the US
Fancy Peruvian. Good food but does not do justice to true Peruvian. Feels more like "new" Peruvian with an emphasis to please the audience no matter where they are from. Ambience is cool.
It's hard to pick something off the menu that isn't delicious and inventive.
Phenomenal ceviche. Loved the fusion with Asian dishes. Make sure you can sit outside so you enjoy the view of the water!
Great spot to bring guests to SF. This is a legit great quality Peruvian restaurant -- one of only 2 US-based outlets of this restaurant from Lima! They can accommodate groups, and usually have reservations with relatively short notice. It's a little on the pricey side, and I'd suggest ordering more than you think you might need if you're really hungry (portions aren't very big).
I had no idea I needed whipped potatoes with dungeness crab and caviar until I visited this place. I went back again the following week!
First Peruvian restaurant I've had in the US that truly captured the food I had in Lima. Mixtoche and beef hearts were fantastic! I'm not sure what dessert we got but it had cotton candy and was super yummy. I wish this place existed in my hometown
Came here for my birthday celebration. Restaurant brought us tres Leche which was super delicious. Their cocktails and cebiche are must tries!
Beautiful restaurant, great location, and delicious food. The waiter was really friendly, knowledgable, and accommodating.
Loved the ambience, the food and the courteous staff. I had a tuna chevice and scallops and both the dishes were delicious. The chevice was buttery and melted in my mouth. The scallops were cooked to perfection. Loved the wine, the tres leche dessert and everything about it.
We absolutely love La Mar! Great cocktails with Peruvian influences and of course wonderful Peruvian food!
Nice ambience and close to the water. Good place to chat for a while over a relaxing meal. Fresh fish.
Food is decent, depending on what you get. The wait staff is fast paced. This place has an excellent view.
The food is a shame, incredible that Gaston is behind this. The only good thing is pisco sour. Do not spend your money here until you are sure they improved, incredibly bad
This place serves great Peruvian food and has a nice outdoor patio to sit by the bay on a sunny day. Most of all though it s a place to have one of their signature cocktails like a piscina sour during happy hour. And even better if you order it with the plantain chips.
The octopus is delicious, but overall the amount is too small. Chebie can not even eat a few. The octopus menu is all three small legs.
Phenomenal service. Decadent food. Delicious drinks. 6 out of 5.
It's a great place to take your parents when they visit SF.
Exceeded all expectations! Excellent service and delicious food.
Amazing place excellent food and perfectly accomplish Peruvian Ceviche and Tiradito we should have one of these on each state
Really unique sauces on light fresh seafood. Ceviche is as awesome as you'd expect for a Peruvian place.
Nice bar area up front that serves food too. It looks out on the SF Embarcadero.
The restaurant in back has windows looking out at the bay and a lively, colorful, atmosphere with super friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Very friendly service and a great location. High end menu and pricing
Loved the Pisco Sours - my favorite place in San Francisco to get them. The frites are pretty amazing as well. I didn't eat dinner there but every dish I saw go by looked delicious!
Great for larger great groups, fantastic exciting menu, pleasant device. Can't beat the location on a pier in San Francisco Bay!
Food is good, service not great, their banana chips is filled with cheap potato chips at the bottom, so cheap
Great restaurant, the food is colorful, spiced and bursting with flavor. There's a lot of verity, even if you're looking for something other than seafood. Expensive, as most restaurants on the pier are, but it's worth it. Highly recommended!
Nice food and location, dissatisfying in the value-for-money department.
Diego Oka is amazing, I taste the aguadito de marisco.. It's expensive but worthed..
Delicious Food and Drinks with a partial view on the Bay.
Beautiful and comfortable ambiance. It has a good service flow, the food menu are extensive and tempting. The chef s choice is just delightful. The wine recommendations paired well with my food.
We all know the food is amazing. But the maracuya pisco is a no longer well kept secret. I mean, it should be a well known fact. It s so good! This amazingness is consistent accross restaurants. Soooo good!
The food was so unique and tasty. Great find. We will definitely go back
This is one of my favorite restaurants ever, the ceviche and wagyu sashimi are out of this world. The attention is perfect and the ambiance is lovely. I went there for my second anniversary with my boyfriend and it will always would a special place in my heart
This place never disappoint. The food is spectacular and the service is always spot on. Here a snap of the amazing Lomo Salteado
Nothing can be great forever... Must have a new chef. Used to come every year and love the place. Now it s bland and tasteless for the same crazy price.
The ambience is beautiful and the presentation is lovely, however our servers switched mid-meal and there was miscommunication throughout our experience because of the switch. The server we ended up closing the bill with took a (really) long time attending to our party of 2 since he was also working a party of 18 next to us.
Amazing Peruvian food - recommended and 'approved' by my Peruvian friend and her family. Not cheap, but definitely worth going. Plus its close to the Pier, and you can enjoy going to a lovely walk after dinner
I was great. I had salmon and calamari that was cooked right. The ceviche was amazing new flavor for me. It did cost me 60 bucks for a meal and 2 dishes.
The food is really good, service is good and the price for them is accordingly!
Good ceviche, good drinks, pricey
I really enjoyed the ceviche and the drinks. The pisco sour want just right. We had the ceviche platter and all very good. Fresh fish. The empanadas are ok.
The restaurant is beautiful, the food is fresh, creative and delicious and the staff provided excellent service.
Delicious food! Best dinner in San Francisco! Attentive service.
Ended up here when the waits at the ferry building were too long. What a pleasant surprise...the food was delicious and the service was excellent. The cebiches were their specialty.
Great location with a water front view with good price; however, food should be more flavorful.
Very good Peruvian restaurant. The card is a little difficult to decipher and the prices are rather high.
Fantastic tapas. Loved the fresh and juicy seafood.
The food is very good, the fish is great. The staff very helpful and the views are very cool. Highly recommended
love their ceviche!! tried 3 different ceviche's and they were all amazing!!!
Friendly and attentive team, good drinks, great food. The views of the east bay from the patio were beautiful too. If you like bourbon try the el viejo. It s the equivalent of an old fashioned mixed with a manhattan. Delicious. Food... MY GOODNESS! Try the cibiche trio. Fantastic. Reminded me of Peru. The lomo saltado was so good. The steak was perfectly cooked. Nice and tender. The arroz al mar was delicious too. Highly recommend checking this place out. Worth the prices. I really don t think you can go wrong with your order.
The attention is excellent and the food is spectacular
Outstanding experience! The food, the service and the view were all exceptional! Thank you Moises for a wonderful evening in San Francisco!
Whether you come for a meal or for happy hour, just focus on the ceviche and pisco sours.
