Mariano's Fresh Market

Marty at the bar is fantastic - grab a seat and introduce yourself. Have sushi or other food brought over to the bar . You can even "order" a bottle off the shelf to have with dinner .

My friend was just checking out and Gwen (the bagger) noticed some of the strawberries at the bottom of the container were moldy. She went and got us a fresh batch right away. Great customer service!

Great addition to the neighborhood . If you're parking upstairs on the roof, watch out for the tight right-turn coming in, and the same tight left-turn heading out. Remove the parking slips here please

This might be my new favorite grocery . Lots of variety, helpful people, prices aren't crazy, some organic choices , and there's someone playing piano. Yes, I said piano.

The cajun marinated chicken from the butcher is excellent! We always stop here for the pre-made food too. The sandwiches and soup are great to take to work for lunch !

Looking for a "fresh" alternative to Downtown Chi's fast food joints, here's your answer! Besides hot food they have a salad bar , a sushi bar , & they can even grill whatever you want them to.

Buy anything at the butcher counter and ask them to grill it for you. Saves on dishes at home and makes meal preparation easy! Free service, you pay price per lb for the meat. Packed well , keeps warm.

I recommend buying something and having them grill it (~20 minutes) while you finish your shopping. Beer on tap $2 and glasses of wine for $5.

Hot bar always seems to be weak and picked through if you don’t get to it before 7pm. Plan your visit around peak times if you want the best options.

Awesome bartender lady gave us tips to buy a bottle if wine . Also have a steak made for you. If you want sushi , grab a small appetizer plate.

Was given a free piece of fancy sushi with yuca . When everyone asked what it was, the chef was like, "I don't know, I just made it up!" It was very good.

Possibly my favorite go-to chain grocery store in Chicago. More reasonably priced than most Jewels.

I spend way too much time here. Love this location..sit at the wine bar and order sushi or oysters they will bring it over to you

Chicago mix popcorn , chicken strips at the hot counter, great wine varieties, and good bakery selections

Quincy Street Distiilery's Old No. 176 gin and Prairie Sunshine honey spirit can be purchased here. Pick up some mint , tarragon , and limes for a Honey-Jito.

Super crowded during lunch time but staff is friendly and both the salad and hot food bar are pretty good

Fresh squeezed orange juice is the best as well as their Mimosa 's and wine . Don't forget to try the hot bar !

Epic market . Fresh lemon and lime juice squeezed to order. Best market ever!

Great place to go for lunch . Pick out a piece of meat and have them grill it up for you!

I come every Thursday for the $6 grilled on spot rib eye steak sandwich Mmmmmmmm!

Love love love the salad bar for my 9am lunchtime. Noon is a different story.

Excellent hot bar . The mashed potatoes are to die for!

Besides the wine bar upstairs next to the wine , there's a second wine bar next to the gelato and coffee .

Delivery service is now available up to 5 miles from select Marianos locations!! (Perfect for those super snowy days !)

Grab a $5 mimosa with their fresh squeezed oj from the wine bar !

Free wifi and coffee is excellent in the cafe . Also I can work here, eat upstairs and grocery shop in one afternoon.

Take advantage of the various wine , oyster , cheese and sushi bars . Also, the salad bar rocks.

Ask the person behind the juice bar for a fresh bottle of OJ . They will make a fresh bottle on request.

Rooftop parking is tight and a bit difficult weekend mornings. Mariano's beats the snot out of WFM.

Sunday mornings are the best time to shop. Parking is easy and the staff is better.

If you thought Whole Foods was fancy , Mariano's is like Whole Foods' british grandmere. Whoa.

I died and went to Mariano's heaven. No but seriously this one is huge and awesome.

Nice store, but honestly? They have the rudest customers I've ever encountered. Entitled jerks who block the aisles and give you the stink eye when you try to get past them.

Free valet on the weekends! Wine bar sells bottles at retail prices. Oh doggy!

When enrolling for a new loyalty card at the kiosk, you have to grab cards from BEHIND the kiosks to scan for completion.

The $6 meal is such a good deal . One main plus two sides. Healthy and delicious.

$2 and some change for fresh orange juice & a 16oz joe. ballsy move being between two sbucks but it pays off. i go every morning.

Love the grill bar . They will grill any meat or fish you purchase up to 5 pieces!

They have a wonderful wine selection here.

Get a beer or some wine to take with you while you shop!!

Great smoothie bar and prepared food section. Lunch here is delish!

The roof parking lot is home to the worst parkers in chicago

Stop in on Taco Tuesdays for make your own tacos !

The hot/cold bars are cheaper than Whole Foods! Selection only slightly inferior. Yum!

If you order a reasonably priced $8 glass of wine , you also get cheese , crackers , & olives !

Fresh vegetables and meat, finest and widest varieties of wines .

The coconut and pistachio gelato is superb!

$3 Beers & 2 Wi-FI Lounges ! This place smells great and the staff is super nice :)

$6 and $10 entrée options that come with 2 sides

Always busy....always. Especially love the wine bar and $5 guava mimosas .
