    Wow. Delicious food and drink. The caviar cone and cotton candy foie gras will blow you away! The Waldorf salad was wonderful, as was the beef tartare (pics below). Topped with a 2001 Rioja, carrot cake (pic) and coffee, this was a fabulous meal. If you're an out-of-towner, stay at the Waldorf-Astoria, where the restaurant is located.

    Beware: A sandwich is a two-bite appetizer. Most menu items are tapas size although they’re priced like full size portions. Of course Chef Andres creative and beautiful dishes have the finest ingredients and taste great, but just know you will be breaking the bank or leaving hungry. I also prefer the food at his other restaurants like Jaleo and China Chilcano. Amazing atmosphere in the lobby of the Waldorf.

    The food was great and the service above and beyond. Our server, Myeisha, was absolutely first rate. The jamon with tomato bread was like being back in Spain.

    It was amazing!! The food was out of this world. The pork steak was tender and juicy, and the octopus was killer. The service was amazing. All of the waiters described the food that was served to us and was always checking in on us. The restaurant was beautifully decorated along with the inside of the hotel, the bizarre gave elegance And upscale all in one.

    Wonderful experience! Everything was delicious (the boneless chicken wings were only OK). The Iberico pork loin in particular was outstanding, as was the miso eggplant. Interesting cocktails. First rate service. Dramatic space.

    Was recommended the Bazaar by a close friend and I have to say that we had an amazing time! I chose the Bazaar for my birthday dinner and I am so happy I did. Every dish was delicious, drinks were amazing, as was the ambience and attention. Can’t wait for one to open up in Miami to visit. Highly recommend!

    We love The Bazaar. This was our fourth visit and love love the food, the service, the ambience, and we are always are warmly welcomed. Highly recommend!!!i An edit to my initial post: We failed to say that we admire and respect Jose Andres. He is a caring humanitarian. We certainly can use more like him. We also love his other DC restaurants, Jaleo, ChinaChilcano, Oyamel, and Zaytinya.
