"La Mar looks like a classy teal and blue-colored hotel lobby set somewhere on Miami Beach, with two bar areas and a high-ceilinged dining room, and is basically a waterfront party. And the covered deck overlooking some piers is exactly where we want to drink never-ending pisco sours and fill up on tangy ceviche, Peruvian-style sushi, grilled scallops over lentil tacu-tacu, and fish-of-the-day with aji chimichurri. This small plate spot is always packed with tourists, locals popping in for the 3-5pm daily happy hour, and people in town for some sort of convention, which certainly makes a night here buzzy." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
