Birthday Party

I had my joint birthday party with my partner on La Mar's back patio, choosing the 5 course family style dinner.<br><br>The layout, setting, and the ambiance could not be beat - unbelievable views of the Bay on a cool June afternoon. We had a total of 22 guests attend, with vegetarians accommodated. Food was delicious, drinks were delicious, and being able to host a large event like this made the event even better.<br><br>The only improvement is that while each course was delicious, it came out to be a little on the smaller side. We ended up just fine because we drank the difference.

Private Dinner

We were three people and ordered the Kampachi Experience Menu. The food was exquisite, with every dish prepared from the fish presented to us at the beginning of the meal. The ceviche, sashimi, stir-fried fish, and fried rice were absolutely top-notch.<br><br>The service was excellent and perfectly on point. It is definitely very expensive, around $250 per person, but worth every penny for the quality and overall experience.<br><br>Highly recommended.
