    I recently celebrated my birthday at La Mar, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was vibrant yet cozy, setting the perfect tone for a special evening. The staff went above and beyond, offering exceptional service with genuine warmth. The food was the true highlight—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The ceviche was fresh and perfectly balanced, and the lomo saltado was a standout. To top it off, the desserts were delightful, especially the lucuma mousse, which was the perfect way to end the meal. It was a memorable evening, and I can’t wait to return! La Mar truly made my birthday celebration unforgettable. 🌟

    Good food and prompt service. A little chilly if you're sitting near the front door, which tends to stay open if people don't close it behind them.

    Delicious dinner and very good service. Noise level is very loud. Maybe something could be done to improve acoustics. We love dining there but as people have more to drink the noise level increases. Dining room has hard surfaces which do not absorb the noise.

    I was invited to dinner at Bocanova in Oakland. The inviting picturesque view of the restaurant and surroundings piqued my curiosity of what I was about to experience. I received a warm welcome as I entered the restaurant by the staff. We enjoyed the amazing appetizers, and I am not a fan of Ahi Tuna, it was awesome. We followed the appetizers with our main course selection: grilled marinated lamb chops and Peruvian style chicken. Delicious! If you haven't visited Bocanova, please visit.
