                    So sad to see the changes to the menu. This used to be a staple in our rotation. Really innovative menu replaced with another burger place. Please go back!!

                    I’ve been to Bar Mar multiple times and was shocked to see the menu changed last night. All the best menu items such as the noodle paella , croquettes, and the potatoes bravas were replaced with burgers. How boring! We went for tapas and were so disappointed. Our waitress also rushed us which was very annoying. I am not coming back unless they bring the old menu back! Plenty of other places have a better burger.
