RANT - La Mar

After a pleasing first impression (on first walking in, the place has an impressive, vibrant feel) pretty much everything else - except the service - was a let-down. 

I just don't know what all the fuss is about the food (Peruvian in general, La Mar in particular). 

The Cebiche Chifa and the Tiraditos Classico were both cut too thick to compare favorably with Sashimi (as the menu attempts). The Octopus skewers looked like turds on sticks, and tasted - presumably - not much better. The Empanadas were OK, but my Una (the one filled with meat and olives) was pure stodge, and mostly inedible. 

So, all in all, we had great hopes that were sufficiently dashed that we probably won't bother going back. A shame, all in all.
