About this vendor
La Mar is a stunning, historic setting to host a private event with an added Peruvian flare. Guests enter the restaurant through the iconic Pier 1 ½ lobby to find multiple lounges, an expansive dining room and a waterfront patio overlooking the Bay.
The Waterfront Patio is the perfect setting for a wedding reception or rehearsal dinner. It can be fully enclosed with clear side panels at the push of a button. The stunning view is never compromised, regardless of the weather and our existing heat lamps provide a comfortable setting year-round. The Patio can be fully customized to exceed your expectations.
Once the old ticket office to the Piers, the historic City Room sits along the Embarcadero on the left-hand side of the entrance to La Mar, offering casual cocktail receptions to a formal seated dinner. With oversized windows overlooking SF’s Financial District, the fully private space also carries its own optional entryway, exit, powder room, and coat check. We offer your choice of long rectangles or round table seating formats, to best adapt to the environment you are looking to provide for your event. Full A/V capabilities also available upon request.

La Mar was an amazing venue to host our wedding reception. They were exceptional from the pre-planning phase to the night of the event. They were very responsive and answered all of our initial questions. We ended up selecting the City Room, which was the perfect size for our 45 person reception. It was also surprisingly affordable compared to other options in SF, especially considering it's great location. The restaurant staff were all professional and accommodating. Last but not least, the food was amazing and our guests could not stop talking about how delicious everything was. I would highly recommend La Mar over and over again!
La Mar was the perfect venue to host our small SF City Hall wedding reception with our loved ones! The chef's table was the right size for us and our 13 guests. The semi-private area created an intimate setting while still having a fun atmosphere of a popular restaurant on the port.
Throughout the months long planning process, La Mar's event coordinator Emily did an amazing job with providing guidance (and lots of patience!) and a tremendous amount of help in bringing everything together. Through the chef's table reservation we had our own custom menu made for the event and the staff did a great job coordinating our wedding cake delivery and set up.
Our family absolutely loved the food, delicious fresh sea food with a Peruvian flare. Our guests also enjoyed the wide range of cocktails and wide for our lunch celebration. I still dream of that delicious tuna nigiri!
This is a great choice for a post-city hall wedding, would recommend to everybody going that route for your wedding day!
I had my wedding lunch reception at La Mar and I was beyond delighted. It was a warm, sunny day in SF and the outdoor patio on the waterfront was perfect. I didn't need much decorations other than simple flowers on the tables because the setting itself was gorgeous. Also, the food and drinks (prickly pear margarita yum!) were so colorful and delicious. I have to thank Jonathan and the rest of the staff for being so attentive and easy to work with. My family was raving about how unique and FUN the celebration was given that it was a day event. I highly recommend this restaurant for any daytime party. You will not be disappointed. La Mar, you are amazing and we will be back!!
Hi Kristen, I wanted to touch base and let you know that our cocktail reception on Friday evening was absolutely spectacular. Thank you so much to you and the entire team at La Mar who made the evening so special for us. The patio looked gorgeous (those Bay views!), the service was impeccable and the food and drinks were absolutely delicious! Wow, it just couldn’t have been better. Please let the head servers know how much we appreciate their flawless service and the way they checked in with us throughout the evening. We received rave reviews about all of the food and how beautifully it was presented. The party was the perfect celebration the night before our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding. Thank you!
