Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in South Loop

Honestly, one of the best dinners we’ve had in awhile. Everything was our favorite. The food was exquisite and the service top notch. We’re already talking about returning within the week and doing it all over again.

Indulgent, and we’re very glad to have treated ourselves. We selected omakase, and only had to decide what to drink. The evening proceeded smoothly, and we left three hours later, like the cat that caught the mouse.

We had an amazing experience. We made a reservation for two and were placed at a shared 8 top table. Not what we wanted to experience that night. We asked the reservation specialist if we could move to a quieter more private table and she was able to accommodate us within 5 minutes. Marcus, our server, did an asking job explaining the food and beverage menu. The food was quick and tasted amazing (oyster's, artichokes, pizza). Atmosphere amazing and the bathrooms were clean. Love the lotion in the bathroom.

Our waiter was wondering. He was very kind and accommodating. Food was good and large portions. We asked to sit in a different spot and host was very accommodating too.

We love Bar Mar and can always count on an exceptional experience. Firstly, it’s beautiful in the restaurant, and there’s not a bad seat in the place. It’s bright, airy, luxurious and so well-designed with intricate and dazzling fixtures. Everything we’ve ever ordered has been delicious, and it’s always played so beautifully. During this visit, we ordered the burger and lobster roll (and split them since they’re both so good). Both were seasoned well and the burger had element such as peppers that provided it with an elevated and different flavor that was so savory and delicious. The lobster roll was well seasoned and cooked to perfection - very tender. Last but certainly not least, the service here is always outstanding. Our server Jefferson was so welcoming, kind and prompt. Jefferson made my sister’s birthday very special! We were surprised with some hamachi cones and key lime pie thanks- both of which were out-of-this-world delicious, and we will be ordering those when we return! Best key lime pie we have ever had! Thank you so much to Jefferson for making our day!
