WELCOME TO MARINA'S BISTRO + RUM BAR
Marina’s is a chef-driven Puerto Rican kitchen rooted in heritage, hospitality, and the Uptown community of Chicago.Our menu honors the traditions of Puerto Rican cooking through thoughtful technique, careful sourcing, and deep respect for the culture behind the food. Rather than chasing trends, we focus on dishes that reflect history, balance, and intention.
We work closely with local purveyors and responsible producers to support our community while remaining true to the integrity of Puerto Rican cuisine. From mofongo — plantains prepared with depth and care — to arroz con gandules made with house-crafted sofrito, our food is grounded in tradition and shaped by experience.
At Marina’s, the table is a place for connection, culture, and pride — where food carries memory and hospitality is treated as a responsibility.For those drawn to plantains in all their forms, dishes like tostones highlight simplicity done well — twice-fried for texture and served with house-made accompaniments that enhance rather than overpower.Desserts follow the same philosophy. Cheesecake rolls, finished with guava or seasonal fruit, offer a familiar sweetness grounded in Puerto Rican flavors, prepared with balance and care.While the food leads, the bar plays a supporting role rooted in the Caribbean.

Incredible service and food. We came here for my husband's birthday. Had the most gracious server (I forgot her name). Chef was super nice. I think whatever you try here will be amazing. Each dish was delicious. We had a wonderful dessert as well. Compliments to the bartender as our drinks were superb. Unforgettable food and hospitable atmosphere! The dining experience here made husband's birthday that much more special :-)

If I could give Marina's Bistro 6 stars I would! It's such a gem in the neighborhood! The food is delicious, the drinks were perfection, and the service was great! My husbands family is Puerto Rican, so I've def had my share of PR food. This is def yummy! I def recommend stopping in! They do take reservations too.

I went here for restaurant week and had the absolute best time! The staff was incredibly friendly, the drinks were smooth, the vibes were vibing, and everything tasted so, so good. The guava butter was also made with pure magic, I'm sure; you have to try it!
