Fresh oysters piled on mounds of sparkling ice. Ceviches that taste of the ocean. Chef José Andrés’ brilliant renditions of iconic seafood classics like fried calamari and lobster rolls. Located at the Bank of America Tower in Chicago, Bar Mar is a true celebration of the bounty of the sea, with modern takes on classics you know and love, festive cocktails, and a bright, beautiful space that interweaves the nautical with the elegant.

    Great food and service. However, the room was so cold I wore my hat and coat during the meal.

    My entire dining experience was fantastic! The hostesses were welcoming and friendly, my server, Victoria was incredibly pleasant and helpful, the restaurant managers were polite and courteous, and checked on me from time to time. The ambience was amazing, the food was sensational, and my overall experience was a 10/10!

    Our server made our evening! Attentive, sweet, kind, etc-so nice to have good quality service! Food was delicious and light, not overly filling which was refreshing. Can’t wait to go again in the summer and enjoy their patio!

    Amazing food! Not one bad thing on the menu. Our server was amazing and was so polite and professional. Ordered for 2 of us - Hamachi Crudo, oysters, and the Octopus to share. Also shared a lobster roll. The server was so nice and offered us a complimentary Cava with our desert. We ordered the sticky toffee pudding. Planning on coming back to try more from the menu!

    A lovely pre-opera lunch. Perfect octopus to share with a glass of Spanish rose. An excellent and relatively inexpensive lobster roll with terrific Jose Andres chips for me and a Serrano ham and Manchego cheese sandwich for Mark. In such a beautiful space. Coming again soon.

    Great vibe. We went before a show for a light dinner. Very attentive staff to get us out in time. Lively atmosphere and good crab cake. I will be coming back!

    This was our second time eating here. We typically get a combination of apps and that is plenty. The food is delicious. It can be very crowded and the tables are close together so it can be loud.
