Restaurants near Civic Opera House

Bar Mar was a great experience for us. Stunning visually. Fun drinks and top notch food. The staff made us including our 4 yr old granddaughter very comfortable.

We went here to celebrate Christmas Eve, and we loved this place, our gourmet dinner was excellent, I loved my choice of the risotto, and the tiramisu was super too. We were super thankful with our waiter Ilarion, who helps us to have an excellent dinner.

Order the Chef’s Menu - well worth it and you get to try so many different things that way. Service was impeccable.

The table bread is a must. The Cacio e Pepe pillows (so fluffy) and Rigatoni (just a little spicy in a good way) were delicious! Fried potatoes and delicate squash were excellent. Roasted chicken was just a little crispy and so flavorful. Soppressata pizza was sweet and salty. So good. Can’t wait for leftovers. Tossed salad was just ok IMO.

This was the best meal I have had in a long time. From the moment we were greeted upstairs to the moment we left, we felt special. We did the tasting menu and I cannot tell you what my favorite was because everything was delicious. Adrien, our server was fantastic, informed, but never hovering. They seated us in a comfortable place and as a wheelchair user, I really appreciate it. The chef chatted with us as we are and again, made us feel special. As who Covid took the joy of food away from for almost a year, it was wonderful to experience it again here. I don't want to go into detail in on the food to avoid ruining the surprises, but try the Cotton Candy Fois Grois and you can thank me later. I cannot wait to go back again, this place deserves every Michelen Star and James Beard award out there.
