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.

Love Bar Mar but two areas of constructive criticism. The menu choices keep shrinking. A little more choice of mains, in particular, would be appreciated. And service was a little slow.

Food was excellent. And the service and atmosphere were great. Always a good crowd at lunch and dinner. They also have valet parking after 4, so that is key in that area.
