   La Mar Cocina Peruana offers a pleasant dining experience. The ambiance is inviting, and the service was both attentive and efficient. Our meal started with the cebiche tasting, showcasing fresh seafood. The Pulpo Anticichero (grilled octopus) was a standout, and the quinoa salad was a delicious and healthy option. Overall, a solid choice for Peruvian cuisine.

   We had a very nice dinner! The food was tasty and different. The servers were very accommodating to my request of tasting the cancha-infused bourbon which was subtle and probably great in their cocktail (will try it next time). The chocolate cake with lucuma was sooo yummy! We just have to go back to order the dishes on their menu until we try them all! Thank you!

   The food was outstanding at La Mar but unfortunately the service was the downfall. We were not notified that ordering "water" yielded a mineral water that costed $9 per bottle. This should have been disclosed in the ordering stage. The waitress did not once ask us about the food and at the end of the meal, asked "did you want to take the water to go?" in a rather mocking tone. I was confused at the question and subsequently realized it was because we were charged $18 for the 2 mineral water bottles served. I would have been happy to pay the charge but it should be disclosed and transparent when ordered. I also did NOT appreciate the waiter's tone in asking us whether we wanted to "take the water to go."

   We had a great time at La Mar while we celebrated V-Day. Our server Rena was very patient and friendly. She explained the menu and provided suggestions. The place was very hospitable. The food’s presentation and taste was great. We had the Lomo Saltado ( the beef was very succulent) and the Arroz con Mariscos for our entrees and tried the Anticuchos de Pollo for starters. The Pisco was also well made. All in all a great experience.

    When seated, we were not given menus for food, only drinks, which was a bit confusing. We were given a specials menu with 2 items listed. The waiter asked if we wanted "traditional" or "modern" Peruvian food. We said we did not have a preference since we did not know what that meant. He brought food menus and gave recommendations. We ordered drinks and when he returned, we he was keen to take our food ordered which was a little rushed. We ordered and that's when the rush really started. We received six dishes within a 20-minute span. There was no pacing of the food presentation, it arrived in rapid succession, roughly 3-5 minutes between plates. The food was mixed. Some dishes were exceptional, but others were just ok. The spice levels were perfect. The issue with the dishes was commonality -- the use of potatoes and hominy is excessive (even though authentic).
