Best Authentic Restaurants in Redmond

Valentine Omakase was so great. Recommend course menu. High quality & tasty. Awesome experience

La Mar is quickly becoming one of our favorite places. It is a cuisine that is new to us so every dish is an adventure. We've loved everything we've tasted! The only thing better than the food is the warm, welcoming service from everyone who works there. Most recently, we had a birthday/Valentine's dinner that was fabulous! The whole restaurant was warmed by candlelight and rose petals. The special menu had terrific options to choose from. I was particularly taken the starters - my Ceviche Apaltado, halibut in leeks with avocado, sweet potatoes and more. My husband had the Crab Causa, a delightful Dungeness crab salad with whipped purple potatoes plus. Both dishes were beautiful to see and delicious to taste. For our main course, I had the fabulous Pulpo Anticuchero -- grilled octopus and my husband enjoyed Lomo Saltado - tenderloin deliciously prepared. For desert, nobody beats the amazing chocolate cake at La Mar! In every way, La Mar is a treasure.

Excellent service and food! Will definitely be back again

We used to eat at the Cupertino location often, so this was a nice comfort meal. Plenty of meat and sides. I enjoyed that it didn't get too smoky while we grilled our meat; they changed grills three times. The hostess was rude and clearly not happy to be working, but it didn't detract from our meal. The rest of the staff kind and helpful. Overall, a great spot with plenty of easy parking.

Our chef was entertaining and prepared our food to perfection. It was a great way to celebrate a reunion of friends.
