Our Story

Born from coastal journeys, built for Rosemont gatherings.

Saltwater Coastal Grill was imagined for travelers, neighbors, and event planners who crave vibrant food and easygoing hospitality. We chased our favorite Mediterranean flavors—sparkling seafood, wood-grilled classics, and craveable mezze—and brought them to Parkway Bank Park.

Floor-to-ceiling glass, glowing patios, and a beautiful oyster bar make Saltwater the go-to spot for date night, pre-show dinners, large groups and celebrations.

“We set out to create a getaway for locals and travelers—somewhere bright, social, and chef-driven.”
— Saltwater Coastal Grill Team

Behind the Flavors

Chef Marcos Diaz

Executive Chef

Chef Marcos brings coastal Mediterranean traditions to Chicago with sustainably sourced seafood, wood-fired mains, and dishes engineered for sharing. His menus change with the tides and the farmers’ market.

“We build menus that balance bright coastal flavors with the warmth of Midwestern hospitality.”
  • Sustainable seafood and Midwest produce featured nightly
  • Handcrafted mezze, breads, and late-night raw bar pairings
  • Tableside presentations, whole fish, and custom tasting menus
