Review Summary:
Fantastic Peruvian food on San Francisco's waterfront...not to be missed!
La Mar is one of our all time favorite restaurants in San Francisco, located waterside at Pier 1.5 on the Embarcadero it’s a great spot for lunch or dinner. The beautiful dining room, bar and views are the perfect venue to enjoy the authentic and beautifully executed Peruvian fare.
