I stopped by for a late lunch and was in awe of the decor and ambiance. As a lone eater, I typically sit at the bar - which also adds to the overall experience, since the bartenders are such an integral part of the team. Cassidy was amazing! She was friendly, quick to greet and helpful with suggestions - even as she diligently worked on squeezing the fresh juices used in their drink creations. I'm looking forward to returning to experience the dinner menu!!

Best restaurant I’ve been to in a long time!!!! VB needed this place. The vibes are impeccable and food is even better! I recommend getting multiple dishes for the table and sharing so you get to try everything. There was nothing I didn’t love!!

Whats not to like about this establishment. We've rode by this place plenty of times and finally decided to check it out for dinner and were not disappointed. We went on a Thursday night, walked in with no reservation, and was seated immediately. The restaurant is beautiful and romantic. They had a dining area and what looked like a lounge area that was so nice. We sat in the dining area. They had someone playing the keyboard and singing the night we went in the lounge area. The sound was awesome and a great touch to a romantic evening. Our waitress was helpful and polite, and the service was quick. We had the guacamole, which was delicious, and our entrees were very fresh and flavorful. The short rib burrito is one of the best things I've tasted in this area. We also got the double smash burger. 10/10 recommend

A strong 3.5! The valet parking and decor gives the ambiance an upscale feel. The live music was a really nice touch, but it didn't match the vibe of the place as a whole. The food looked amazing! However, it was mid at best. My burrito was cold upon arrival, and the tacos didn't really have much flavor beyond the spiciness. The waitress introduced it as an "Elevated Latin Cuisine," so maybe it just wasn't appeasing to my palette.

We had one of the best servers I've ever experienced. We had a difficult person to deal with in our party, and she was patient, positive, professional, and entertaining. This restaurant is amazing, and I recommend it to any and all people. The food is very tasty, the atmosphere is second to none, and the service is outstanding. They have a lounge area, a bar area, and a DJ on Fridays (9p) & live music on Saturdays (and 1 week other day).

Quemar is a mix sports bar, classy restaurant and lounge. Unfortunately, we don’t think it’s a good fit. Valet parking gives the place an upscale feel. The dining area dark and trying to look trendy. After being seated and not receiving service for along time we flag down a waitress to get service. There is a special reduced fee drink menu available anytime of the day. We choose food from the taco menu. Asked the waitress to pace the food which never happened. Food arrived before the drinks arrived. Food was uneventful and nothing special and so were the drinks. The lounge featured a live artist that didn’t match the restaurants theme at all. Sorry this was a miss.

Had a great first experience! Parking - valley only, the guys are super nice, there is no fixed price for valet from what I understood - so get some cash with you for a tip 😉 Hostesses are friendly, there is a lounge area where you can grab a drink and wait for either your friends to arrive, or for your table to free up, I do recommend making a reservation though, we didn’t have one, but still got lucky to get a table, which wasn’t maybe the one we wanted, but was the only available one 🍽️ Our server - Destiny - was very nice and professional, provided great attentive service! Gave a great recommendation for a drink that I absolutely loved - some chocolate martini (I don’t remember) 🍸 Food was delicious: mushroom tacos, fish tacos, yuca root fries, fish of the day 🌮🐡 Interior is absolutely stunning!!

First visit and will certainly return again. The decor and space are fantastic. Great bar with an open wood fire kitchen concept. Lively crowd and a mostly pleasant staff. A large portion of the restaurant was closed off due to a private holiday party (was a second bar and lounge area) looks like a fantastic space to hold entertainment for sure. Even though the private party was packed the noise level wasn't over the top. Not a quite space overall for sure due to the design but nothing overbearing by any means. The food was pretty solid overall a few winners a couple small misses and definitely on the $$$ side of pricing for portion sizes. The wood fired vegetable dishes were surprisingly the winners for me this evening. Smashed beets with mustard greens were incredible and the grilled carrots were another very nice addition. Carne Asada tacos came in strong as well. The salsas were a miss for me but the homemade hot sauce hit the point on the tacos. Nice bar selection and a pretty solid drink menu. Service was a little hit and miss but was a very busy night and certainly had some shining moments. Valet was great. Potential for 5 stars for sure. Strong first visit. Cheers.

Food was literally unreal, you could taste the freshness and quality of ingredients, it was like a bomb of incredible flavor. Service was wonderful too, we had two girls who made us so comfortable. Finally the ambience was so crazy, the mood lighting and modern decor made everything such an amazing experience.

This place was stunning with its boho chic decor and many perfect spaces for all sizes of gatherings. The food was incredible. Everything tasted great (and we tried many dishes). The server was so sweet snd entertaining and the chefs were so kind to inform us of ingredients for one of our parties food allergies. One of the best restaurants I’ve visited in VB and I’ve been to a lot of them.

Just want to put a spotlight on this place for other vegans. If you want upscale Latin food come here! Though the vegan menu is small, I am glad they have options. The vegan yucca fries and charred chayote squash was excellent.

Our small office had our Christmas gathering and dinner here last Friday night. We had the Chef's Table and it was so fun watching everything and being able to talk and see all as a group! The drinks,the food,the music,the atmosphere were all EXCELLENT! I'm still thinking about the fire roasted whole Sea Bass...I want more! Then to be able to go over to the bar and dance and have a great time was the best! Thank you Quemar! Merry Christmas!

Went here for Happy Hour. It was such a pleasant experience. Service was great and quick. Happy Hour menu was diverse. Will definitely be back. Ambiance was comfortable and welcoming.

Beautifully appointed, chic restaurant. Suede sofas and pillows,table lamps and yes Valentine's Day balloon structures in the seating/mingling area. Not a lot of self-parking lots outside - only had valet parking. My friend and I ordered the Carne asada tacos, medium well. The tacos were smaller than most offered at other restaurants but I guess that's what slightly upscale means. Could have given 5 stars if the tortillas weren't as thin and (too) soft that the bite wasn't fulfilling. It was too dark to see the tortillas but they looked like they were blue corn...??? Ordered chocolate tres leches cake served with chocolate gelato and fresh strawberry slices. The dessert was the star of the meal.

Extra flavorful takes on Latin American classics. Veggie dishes are exceptional. Service goes above and beyond. Trendy but not intimidating. Complete with live bands and even some dancing!

Interior is pretty nice and staff explained the restaurant and the wood fire cooking. Portions are decent for the price. The carnitas are flavorful. Overall had a pleasant experience.

the food at quemar is cooked to perfection over wood fire, and the flavors are truly outstanding; the cocktails are also top-notch! Mary our server was so attentive and kind. she really helped us navigate the menu with ease and made the experience at quemar even better. if you're looking for a delicious and authentic latin american & mexican meal, then quemar is the place for you. the food is cooked with passion, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. you won't be disappointed. this entire meal including drinks was a 10/10, not to mention very affordable. in total we spent $155 and left a $25 tip. our order: drinks: margarita strawberry margarita paloma puesta del sol app: guacamole: (so well balanced, it was the most refreshing quac i’ve ever had) 3 oysters - lime/cilantro oil/smoked sea salt (with homemade hot sauce, it has a kick but it was so delicious) main course: 🐟 of the day: halibut | wood-fired/smashed potatoes/grilled mustard greens/chimichurri/almonds p.s. for $2 extra you can get a margarita or beer with tacos on the happy hour menu. eat well, sasha @foodxcafecito

Where do I start???? I’ll start with the negative. I am disgusted that we didn’t visit Quemar sooner. Jon Harris has just proven to be the best restaurant manager I’ve ever experienced and it is obvious that he’s found his niche. He is definitely in his element.our servers Mary and Jenelle were prompt, pleasant and professional. Jenelle has a special place in our hearts. Last night we chose to celebrate our 39th Anniversary with Quemar. What an experience. Out of a five star scale, Quemar is 10 stars across the board. From the fist dish to the last (and we had MANY), we found ourselves saying that each was the best we’ve ever had. We brought dessert home and once again, it was incredible. Thank you so much for making this special day even more special.
