Bar Mar, a Spanish-inflected seafood restaurant, occupies a cavernous glass-walled ground floor space in a new office tower on N. Wacker Drive. We had dinner before attending a show at the Opera House a block south. It worked out very well. When we walked in at 5:30 pm, the place was standing-room-only with a mix of office workers enjoying happy hour and those like us having a pre-show meal. We were shown immediately to our table next to a window overlooking a small terrace with tables and umbrellas set out for warm weather dining. The waiter came by soon to take our order, suggesting each of us have one or two small dishes in addition to a larger one. We shared the four small plates we ordered: ceviche classico, a lobster roll , a warm brussels sprouts salad with fruit nuggets in it and shaved asparagus on romesco sauce. The ceviche in tigre de leche did not have much flavor compared to Mexican ones we've had elsewhere but we enjoyed everything else, especially the asparagus which was shaved lengthwise and served raw (or maybe lightly blanched); the sauce was delicious. For main course we each had pulpo a la Gallego which we also enjoyed. The sticky toffee pudding was recommended so we shared one. It came warm in a small cast iron baking pan with a caramel sauce to pour over and was tasty but achingly sweet. There were some amusing cocktails on the menu that we saw being prepared and served, smoking from dry ice and served in large flasks. I had a pisco sour, potent from Bacardi rum with whipped passionfruit swirled on top. There's an extensive list of bottled wine, plus beers and wines by the glass.
Service was smooth and friendly. We were pleased that we did not feel rushed but that we were out the door in plenty of time to get to the theater, as we had requested.
Even though it's a huge restaurant and it was packed, the noise level wasn't too loud, thanks to a system of yellow baffles affixed to the ceiling and some billowing yellow curtains that absorbed sound. The decor had an octopus theme with a huge lighted wicker one floating over the bar and the image appearing on plates, aprons and sculptures.
We had an enjoyable meal and look forward to a return visit. We may give Bazaar Meats, its sibling restaurant one floor above a try also.
