“ A Culinary Gem in the Heart of the Bellevue I’ve already been a few times, and each visit has only deepened my appreciation for this place. The food is truly exceptional — every dish showcases a masterful blend of complex, well-balanced flavors that feel both thoughtful and deliberate. From the first bite to the last, it’s clear that a lot of care goes into each element on the plate. Presentation is also top-notch — visually stunning and plated to the nines. The cocktails are just as impressive. They’re carefully curated, with a refined balance of flavors that complement the food perfectly. Chic decor and a stylish, relaxed ambiance set the tone, while the music adds just the right energy to the space without being overpowering. This spot is a fantastic addition to the city’s dining scene. If you haven’t been yet, you’re truly missing out. Our server the last time did have an attitude and was non accommodating not attentive! It seemed she’s was occupied elsewhere forgetting drinks... etc we had to chase her down to pay! But I hope she’s gone and we have a Better experience in that regard! ”
“ La Mar delivered an excellent experience from start to finish. I had the ceviche, octopus and other warm dishes, all beautifully presented and perfectly balanced in flavor. The ambiance was fresh and inviting, filled with healthy greenery that added to the charm. Service was friendly and extremely attentive, making the meal even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back! ”
“ Great ambience, every bite was worth the price! The 45 weekday executive lunch menu is a great value. Although the menu was hard to understand and process, the waitress did a great job of explaining! ”
“ We came to this spot during restaurant week, and it was our first time trying Peruvian cuisine—honestly, we were blown away. The 35 three-course menu was such a great deal, and every dish from start to finish was a hit. The ceviche especially stood out—so fresh and refreshing, it really set the tone for the meal. Our waiter was super friendly, and the hospitality overall made us feel really welcome. We’re already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu. ”
“ Liked everything but the Tiraditos trio and conchas oka was our favorite. The conchas oka has an aged Parmesan foam covered scallop that was interestingly light. Also got: Pulpos anticuchero (tender octopus) Cebiches clasico and limeno (leche de tigre mouthwateringly good) Arroz con mariscos (has a cheesy sauce that blended the rice and seafood really well.) Maracuya sour (too strong for me) Our server kept leaving for extended periods of time. She didn't go through the menu with us, didn't really check on us during the meal until we were on our last dish and it took us a while to flag her down for the check. Otherwise she was polite when she was present. ”
“ Outstanding Experience at La Mar Bellevue! We recently hosted a work dinner for about 16 people at La Mar Bellevue, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience, especially thanks to our host, Nicole. From the start, Nicole was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and accommodating. She worked with us to tailor the menu to fit our budget, offered options for our vegetarian and vegan colleagues, and went the extra mile by creating a beautifully customized menu featuring our company logo. It was such a thoughtful and professional touch that really elevated the evening. The communication throughout the planning process was seamless, and Nicole’s flexibility made everything feel easy. The service during the event was just as impressive as the planning, attentive, warm, and perfectly timed. Thanks to Nicole and the La Mar team, our dinner felt special, smooth, and truly enjoyable. I would recommend this restaurant to any coworker or team looking for a memorable group dining experience. We’ll definitely be back! ”
“ I’ve come here a few times for friends’ birthdays, and the food’s been consistently excellent. Everything’s beautifully presented, comes out fast, and the drinks are just as good. The staff always makes us feel welcome. Prices are a bit steep, but honestly, it’s worth it. If you’re looking for a place that feels special but not stuffy, this one’s a solid pick. ”
