STEAKHOUSE, REDEFINED

A carefully curated theater of shared plates, The Bazaar consistently wows its guests with ingeniously innovative cuisine, thoughtfully created cocktails, theatrical presentations, and attentive yet unfussy service. The Bazaar takes guests on a wild sensory adventure born of José’s Spanish roots, both traditional and avant-garde, in a bold, playful atmosphere where anything is possible. Each location is completely unique, adding a fresh, ever-evolving intrigue to the world of The Bazaar.

Underneath sparkling crimson chandeliers designed to mimic the flames of a volcano, sit for a curated tasting menu that weaves from raw preparations to the prized vaca vieja, or ribeye aged to perfection. As the flames in the fire kitchen flicker, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind meal, from inventive takes on carpaccio to the most tender rotisserie-style meat. No matter how many times you come see us at Bazaar, no two meals will be the same.

    Food and ambience was amazing, but the time between meals was quite prolonged. We sat down around 7pm, and didn’t leave until 9:30-9:45pm having only had three courses. The attention we received from our waiter was good in the beginning, but as the night progressed and the busier it got, the less time we saw him. The turnover time for drinks was also astoundingly slow. We ordered our last drink five minutes before our main course was served, and we did not receive that drink until about five minutes after we had finished. Overall it was a good dinner, but due to how slow everything was, I ended up having to cancel another planned event I set up for my fiancé on her 27th birthday; which was disappointing and a waste of money I had to pay upfront.

    It’s a very nice restaurant with good and yummy quality food. We did the tasting menu with wine pairing. Unfortunately the pace of food and wine pairing were out of sync. We were waiting for food or wine in most of our dining time. They eventually came but the whole experience was ruined. Small areas can be improve and I hope they will. The food is delicious and I love what Jose Andres do to the world hunger. Happy to support him in any way.

    The Food here is outstanding! We didn't have one dish we didn't like. It all came out hot, delish and amazing flavors. The drinks were also fantastic when we would finally get one. We had a party of 9 and it took around 15-20 min to get a drink, even an easy beer or glass of wine. We wanted to order a bottle of wine for the end and it took the service staff a while to even bring us the book. We had two servers that couldn't describe the food they brought out. We had to ask another staff member to come over and describe our food being brought out. When your spending this type of money you expect the service to be top notch. Maybe they all went out the night before but because of this we wont be back. The restaurant had open tables so was not super busy for the staff to have "brain farts" as they described to us when they couldn't remember the ingredients. The Chef did an outstanding job though!

    We celebrated 41 years of marriage with the incredible José Andrés restaurant Bazaar Meat. It was spot on. From the moment we walked in we were VIP while at the same being a very relaxed environment. The music was playing and people were talking and you could feel the buzz all while being able to hear the person across the table from you. Out standing design. The food was delectable. Every morsel, incredible. A dance in your mouth for your tastebuds. Our server Alisandro was wonderful. He was authentic when he answered each and every question. The ladies who sat were happy to seat us. The servers who brought out the food detailed every bite. And finally the valet service, professional and courteous all the way. The views of the river were Chicago. My kind if town. I would go back without hesitation. Thank you Bazaar Meat, Alisandro and staff for a wonderful anniversary.

    The food and service were excellent. We are generally not overly price sensitive, but Bazaar is extremely expensive for what you get. Our very delicious ribeye steak was about 14 oz and yet it cost $122. The caprese salad was terrific but it was an extremely small portion. Again, it was way overpriced for what you get. The menu is a bit complicated and confusing. We had to ask the waiter over about 4 or 5 times to clarify somethings. Pricing is mostly by the pound, so you don't know what a steak costs until you get the bill. I suppose that's fair but its atypical. Overall, we had a great "one and done" experience.

    Food was great if delivered with bad timing. Our server was lovely and enthusiastic but over worked. ROOM is way TOO LOUD despite the cork ceiling. They need a sound consultant to help!. We understand this is a tapas restaurant but timing is important especially for a couple. A salad appetizer was delivered with a entry type dish. We orders a large steak at first as we were told it took 30 min to prepare. We didn’t get it for over 45 min and the other steak entry type dish was delivered at least 25 minutes before. As my partner and I like different levels of cooking we wanted them delivered close to together. The first one went back to keep warm and was finally back overcooked. They realized things had not been done well and comped our desert ( wonderful pastries) This is a very expensive place (fully 50% over most traditional Chicago steak houses- not worth it (BTW we love BAR Mar downstairs!!!). Will not be coming back here ( need to fix noise issue and get sequencing better- then might consider coming back but only with a larger group- not a great place for couples) , (will stick to BAR MAR.

    Bazaar Meats is a bazaar name for a high-end steak restaurant, but it is wonderful with an excellent view of the Chicago river. The manager, Pedro Avelar as well as their ambassador and wait staff didn't miss a beat. We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant and will be back!
