The vibe: José Andrés and Gibsons Restaurant Group joined forces to open a two-pronged concept in the Bank of America Tower in 2021. On the building’s ground floor sits Bar Mar, an upscale, seafood-centric restaurant that catches your attention with an octopus sculpture hanging over the main bar.
The food: The luxe food lineup features a selection of small snacks, such as caviar and hamachi cones, and hearty items like a buttery lobster roll and sea scallops.
The drinks: The extensive cocktail menu is reflective of the extravagant sculpture over the bar. Cocktails like the Floral Cloud (gin, lemon, Luxardo Maraschino, creme de violette and hibiscus-rose-orange blossom aromatic cloud) are offered alongside wines and local beers.
Time Out tip: If you're trying to impress a client or treat someone for a special occasion, this is the place to go.
