Excellent food with terrific, attentive staff. Place is beautiful and warm. Plates are small and meant for sharing. Some were quite expensive ($34 each for goat pork belly and basted bass) which were very small IMO for the price. Goat belly was very good, but would pass on the bass as we felt it was over spiced and couldn’t taste the fish. We also had the poke (24), oysters (18 for 2), beets (18), chickpea fritters (18) and a delicious, definite repeat in the toffee pumpkin spice cake (15). With tip and 3 drinks between us, came to $300 for 2 people. That said, this was our second visit and we will gladly be back again!!!

The full package, gorgeous space, delicious food, and spectacular service. We tucked into Bar Mar and it was an oasis of warmth on a cold day. We were greeted like old friends and made very comfortable. We ordered West Coast oysters, Neptune's Pillows, and Sloppy Jose - it was the perfect lunch to satisfy our seafood and spice cravings. For dessert, there is sticky toffee pudding and the stellar Key Pie. I'll be dreaming of that Key Pie for a long time. Our server was an absolute delight. She was efficient, professional, and fun! Jenn was a joy and made us feel like VIPs. We will be back for more fantastic food and fun.
