Best Seafood Restaurants in Little Italy / University Village

I booked this reservation a month ago for my husbands birthday. I have celiac disease so it was important to find a place that was accommodating. They went above and beyond to make it an enjoyable experience for us all! From the staff signed birthday card to the personalized menu and all staff wishing him happy birthday throughout the meal, the attention to detail was incredible. The food? Oh my goodness! They walked me through the menu and let me know what could be made safe for my needs and provided everyone else the same attention based on what they were craving. Everyone enjoyed their dinner & I had the best gluten free dinner roll from a restaurant ever! Dessert was just as good as dinner if not better! My daughter loved the cookies and cream ice cream and she’s pretty picky. My husband and I shared the espresso brûlée and loved every bite even though we were full before ordering it. You don’t leave something like that behind! Overall, such a great experience! We highly recommend!

First, i showed up 30 minutes late for my reservation and they still sat me IMMEDIATELY!!! The staff was wonderful, the food was amazing, the music and the vibes were fantastic. Plus, the kitchen gave me a Valentines gift because i was sitting and eating dinner alone !! Momotaro cares about their patrons <3 I will definitely be coming back here!

The whole experience exceeded our expectations. Joshua, our server, was phenomenal and had great recommendations. The grilled broccolini salad was mind-blowing! The atmosphere within the restaurant was personal and warm. It was not too loud or too quiet. Every table has a gorgeous view of the city and river. Definitely a splurge experience, but so worth it.

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!

it is loud and dark so may be hard for folks with limited vision or challenges hearing. The food was AMAZING . Everything was delicious--highly recommend the fries and the prosciutto app--the drinks were tasty --passion fruit cocktail an white wine. The staff was attentive but did not rush or hover. They were kind and accommodating. We were, however, seated at one of the tables nearest the host stand and it was COLD. Very blustery every time someone came in. We do want to come back in better weather and maybe even sit outside.
