Beautiful dinner experience! Jose’s Favorites tasting menu is a great choice for 2. Dishes are coursed out perfectly so we were always munching but never overwhelmed. Our 5 pm reservation got us out with ample time to make it to our 7:30 pm showtime right down the street. Fidel, our server, is wonderful, as is the entire staff at Bar Mar!

This place is probably in my top 3 favorite restaurants. If you haven’t tried the chicharron you MUST! It’s the most flavorful tender and yet crispy pork I’ve ever had, like crazy delicious. Sometimes my friend and I have dreamt about the chicharron. Their ceviche is amazing!!! Perfect balance of citrus and salt and so fresh. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful whether you go for lunch or dinner. It’s like a secret garden in the sky. And it has a pool with amazing frozen drinks. It’s fun to come to any time of day. The service was very solid. The people we’re friendly, accurate, prompt, not overbearing or pushy. They brought food and drinks at a nice pace. Definitely recommend!

I've lived in Chicago for 32 years and never made it here but was enticed by their happy hour. Who can beat $1 oysters and half off bottles of wine these days? No one. But one cannot live on oysters alone, so we ordered some sides that were all so well executed (oh those brussels sprouts!) that I am now resolved to come back to try their mains.The service was terrific, ambiance welcoming and fun (loved the piano player), and it was really a fantastic place to kill a few hours and a few bottles of wine with friends.

Our space is limited and our staff is small. We believe that we have the ability and resources to make all of our guests happy while dining in our "home" (as we see it). It can get loud in here when we are full but we believe this adds to the convivial atmosphere we provide. We are always happy here and this shows in the spirit of our restaurant. We look forward to serving you with all of our hearts and a smile!

About the restaurant
Located in the historic Fulton Market district of Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood, Rose Mary is Chef/Owner Joe Flamm’s debut restaurant inspired by his Italian heritage and the bold, bright flavors of Croatian cuisine. The boisterous space—named for Flamm’s grandmothers, Mary and Mary Rose, and the herb rosemary, which grows natively along the Italian and Croatian coastlines—offers a seasonal menu of rustic yet refined dishes that encapsulate what Flamm has coined “Adriatic drinking food”.

The absolute best. We sat at the chef’s counter and it was so cool to see the ins and outs of everything. All of the food was perfect paced and out of this world delicious. We were brought a few complimentary snacks, including birthday dessert. Wait staff was attentive and helpful. Loved every minute!

Outstanding meal from top to bottom. Spring for the optional caviar and cheese courses for sure. The pork collar was maybe the best piece of pork I’ve had in my life. Service was excellent, attentive without being overbearing. Have an awesome cocktail menu. Also: BREAD! They give you FRESH BAKED BREAD!

Sochi is a favorite for me and my crew. The food is always amazing, whether we're eating in or ordering takeout, and we love the attention we've gotten from the owner. She has approached our table whenever we report a food sensitivity to personally go through the menu with us and help us find what safe to order. Great date night spot, too!

The food was delicious as always! The dish I wanted and had told my friend about was sold out, but the alternate selection was fabulous! We were so happy! The server was solicitous and shared hints about the dishes to make sure we would be satisfied. We were more than happy!

The food is excellent in both taste and appearance, the wine and cocktail menu is great! We shared a bottle of Sancerre, oysters, the duck for two, and for dessert we shared the soufflé and the pistachio cake. We were particularly impressed with the duck and the soufflé! Service was outstanding. The ambiance is really nice, except that if the bar area is busy and loud, which it was for part of the time we were there (which coincided with happy hour), that bleeds into the rest of the dining room since there is no physical separation. That's really the only negative thing I could say. After happy hour, it was quite nice. Highly recommend!
