$$$ The Loop
Bar Mar is José Andrés’ seafood-centric restaurant on the ground floor of the Bank of America Tower, built around oysters, ceviches, and luxed-up classics like lobster rolls. Office crowds and destination diners use it for lively dinners, cocktails, and pre-theater seafood in a bright, nautical room.
Must-Try Dishes: Lobster Roll, Hamachi Cones, Sea Scallops
What makes it special: High-energy José Andrés seafood bar with modern takes on classics.
$$$$ West Loop Gate
Bazaar Meat is José Andrés’ high-concept steakhouse in the Bank of America Tower, built around tasting menus, dry-aged vaca vieja ribeye and theatrical small plates. Diners lean on it for special-occasion splurges and pre-theatre nights when they want wagyu, caviar cones and a room that feels more like a stage set than a clubby chop house. Strong critical attention and a World's Best Steak Restaurants nod keep it on the short list for destination steak in the Loop.
Must-Try Dishes: Vaca Vieja Ribeye, Foie Gras PB&J, Caviar Cone
What makes it special: A theatrical, tasting-driven steakhouse where Spanish-inflected dishes, dry-aged beef and dramatic design turn dinner into a choreographed experience.
$$ The Loop
A rooftop Mediterranean room where fries aren’t an afterthought—they’re a happy-hour anchor built for dipping into roasted garlic aioli and pairing with cocktails. The best order is fries plus one or two small plates, then let the table graduate into pinsa or seafood once the room fills in.
Must-Try Dishes: French fries with roasted garlic aioli, Papas brava, Pinsa
What makes it special: Rooftop fries designed for aioli-dipping and happy-hour pacing.
