    Everything we ordered was delicious from the sloppy Joe, to the lobster roll and the patatas bravas. The key lime pie for dessert was a phenomenal end to our meal. Our server, Victoria, was friendly, professional and attentive.

    We love Bar Mar and can always count on an exceptional experience. Firstly, it’s beautiful in the restaurant, and there’s not a bad seat in the place. It’s bright, airy, luxurious and so well-designed with intricate and dazzling fixtures. Everything we’ve ever ordered has been delicious, and it’s always played so beautifully. During this visit, we ordered the burger and lobster roll (and split them since they’re both so good). Both were seasoned well and the burger had element such as peppers that provided it with an elevated and different flavor that was so savory and delicious. The lobster roll was well seasoned and cooked to perfection - very tender. Last but certainly not least, the service here is always outstanding. Our server Jefferson was so welcoming, kind and prompt. Jefferson made my sister’s birthday very special! We were surprised with some hamachi cones and key lime pie thanks- both of which were out-of-this-world delicious, and we will be ordering those when we return! Best key lime pie we have ever had! Thank you so much to Jefferson for making our day!

    I came here to celebrate a big professional milestone, and it was honestly the best night of my life. The ambience was perfect, lively but not overly noisy. The food was superb. Victoria, our server, was the most delightful, most helpful, most lovely person ever. Her cocktail recommendations were on point. My party of 11 had the best time. The pacing was relaxed but efficient. Just can't say enough how great it was. The perfect evening, 10/10, I wish I could be back every night forever.

    Bar Mar is a hot spot. It’s busy but the staff is on it, seating and taking orders. The food comes out quickly and is delicious. We had a great time.

    We were there during Restaurant Week, so the 3-course dinner menu was offered. I had the lobster bisque, shrimp cocktail, lobster roll, and for dessert, I chose the flan. Everything was delicious and tasty! I recommend all.

    Our restaurant week meal was perfectly balanced, innovative, and delicious. We look forward to returning and dining from the regular menu. And ... finally there's a good place to eat before the opera
