Wonderful atmosphere with lots of glass to enjoy the view and it didn’t feel crowded. Especially nice was the small plates to share so you can visit and have a casual evening.

Nice restaurant, but portions are very small, prices are very high, and the food is average at best. Go on an expense account if you can’t get in anywhere else.

My 2nd time dining at Bar Mar, once at lunch and last night for dinner. The offering and meals are excellent. Fresh, quality and the culinary look and feel is beautiful. A variety of seating is offered in a hip and artistic environment.
