Best Restaurants for Creative Cuisine in China Town

The food and drinks were delicious. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The atmosphere was casual and fun. The only negative was the price for a side of rice. That seemed high for a small bowl that typically comes with the meal. But overall it was a great dining experience.

From amuse bouche to bonbons, superlatives barely scrape the surface of the fare and experience served up by well-trained, genial staff. If saffron is your go-to, the swordfish entré would be a good choice; for carnivores, the short-ribs are succulent and ‘knives unnecessary’ bites. Soufflés are masterfully crafted, subtly flavored, and good to the last spoonful. The crackling fireplace in the Salon de Thé provided a warm welcome on the cold solstice. Altogether a pleasurable experience.

This was our second time dining at Bar Mar and we absolutely loved it both times! The ambiance, hostess staff, cocktails, wine selection, caviar cones, and too many items on the food menu to name! Our waiter Alex was so attentive and didn’t rush us. And who can forget the Bar - just spectacular! Would definitely return.

Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the Greek wine list and recommended special items on the food menu. We assumed she was Greek, but when she heard my husband and our friend speaking German, she spoke Deutsch, and we learned that she is half German American and Italian American. It was an amazing meal and a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays with our friends.

Liked the vibe and food. Would go back again.
