We had a wonderful dinner for our anniversary! The service was outstanding! Our waiter, Isiah, the bar manager, Justin and the manager Anastasia made us feel so welcome and we even got a glass Prosecco on the house to celebrate. We ordered the pre-theater menu because we were seeing a musical close and didn’t want to rush. Overall an excellent choice!

Our family had an absolutely fantastic dinner here! We opted for the tasting menu and, with four of us, decided to order one of everything on the menu. Every dish was phenomenal—beautifully prepared, with perfect plating that showcased the attention to detail. Alex, our server, took excellent care of us, and Jake, the sommelier, offered outstanding wine recommendations from their incredible wine list. We finished the evening with the cheese course paired with a fantastic bottle of wine—a perfect way to end the meal. On our way out, we stopped by the bar because we noticed some rare bottles on display. We ended up staying to try a couple of new ones, and the bartender’s knowledge and passion made the experience even better. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our evening and will definitely be back!

If you’re a foodie, ever looking for an amazing food experience or a unique fun place for a special occasion I HIGHLY recommend Bazaar Meat by José Andrés - Chicago We celebrated Brandon Harpe with a fix priced menu and man everything was mind blowing 🤯💗 Service was impeccable, cocktails delicious I’ve never had a dining experience like it. 💯 out of 10 Best margarita ever not a salted rim, but a salted foam

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 had an outstanding experience at Beatrix before seeing a Broadway production at the Cadillac Palace Theater. The location was perfect for our purposes and it was a wonderful experience! We ordered from the theater menu, which had multiple options and meant we placed our entire order at the beginning of the meal. It was a good value, with appetizer, entree, and dessert all included in the price of $35, and is available Monday through Friday after 3 pm. Ordering that way allowed for great timing of food delivery without being rushed. Every item was delicious and perfectly prepared, and service was wonderful. For appetizers we had the Hot Honey Brussels Sprouts and the Whipped Feta. Our entrees were the Pecan-Crusted Whitefish and Chicken Bebe. For dessert we both had the Tall, Dark and Handsome Chocolate Cake, which was very rich. It was a little noisy, as there seemed to be some after-work business groups, but we were promptly moved to another location on request which was much quieter. We had more than we could eat and enjoyed every bite. We will choose Beatrix again when enjoying a theater evening and look forward to checking out the Oak Brook location.
