The 14 Best Restaurants Near The Embarcadero & Ferry Building - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"La Mar is a waterfront party. This Peruvian place looks like a classy teal and blue-colored hotel lobby set somewhere on Miami Beach, with two bar areas and a huge dining room. But the covered waterfront deck overlooking some piers is exactly where we want to drink never-ending pisco sours and fill up on tangy ceviche, crispy empanadas, grilled scallops over lentil tacu-tacu, and slow-cooked pork shank cooked with aji panca. This small plates spot is always packed with tourists, locals popping in for happy hour at the sleek front bar, and people in town for some sort of convention, which certainly makes a night here buzzy." - lani conway, julia chen 1
