Great food, even better experience. The ambiance and energy at Bazaar was great from the moment we walked in. Christos and Paula took amazing care of us and made our night unforgettable. Even the sommelier pick out a perfect match for our meal. All the food was amazing. The caviar cone, bluefish tuna, and steaks were the standouts. We can't wait to go back!

The service was very good. The food was a little disappointing. The steak was cooked a little too under and served cold colder than room temperature. I understand, medium rare is not cooked too hot, but to have that expensive and high caliber of a steak, be cold and the fat not running very well was very disappointing. Only a few things had a wow factor of the carrots were just OK. The potato portion was OK just potatoes and a lot of butter in a fairly small portion. The ham croquette was very small and could barely tasty ingredients. It was mostly just puff pastry. The drinks were amazing. The mixologist at the bar really knew his stuff and was very good. We had Matt as our waiter, his service was impeccable, and his recommendations were good for the amount of money we spent, though was very disappointed was expecting more of a wayel factor for such a high caliber of restaurant and most of it was just OK. I've had a lot of good meals and a lot of good restaurants in this didn't meet our expectation or the quality for the price that we paid.

What a beautiful meal and experience! I loved every second of our time there and would really love to come back with friends soon! Thank you to Gabriel for the excellent service.

We went to dinner for Chicago Restaurant week and had the most fabulous evening. From the courteous service in the bar at Bar Mar, to the lovely table and attentive service upstairs at Bazaar Meat, it was wonderful. The menu for restaurant week was just the right amount of courses and every bite was delicious. The menu continued to build to entrees that were perfection. I had the scallops which were the best I've ever had, my husband had the Wagu hanger steak as tender and flavorful as you could dream of. The buttered potato puree (to die for delicious) and Piquillo peppers complemented our dishes perfectly. Key lime pie topped it off, we're still talking about the food, it was that memorable!

I came in genuinely excited and really wanted to give this restaurant a perfect score. The experience started strong — the welcome was warm, attentive, and felt very spot-on for a tasting menu at this level. The food itself showed creativity and care, and the service early in the evening matched that intention. As the night went on, however, the experience became uneven. Some of the tasting menu courses were introduced very softly, and the explanations weren't always clear or easy to understand, which took away from appreciating the thought behind the dishes. I also noticed that a couple seated in front of me received a much more detailed explanation of the restaurant and menu, which made the service feel inconsistent. The biggest disappointment came at the end of the meal. After spending well over $300, the departure felt noticeably cold and unwelcoming — a sharp contrast to the thoughtful arrival. To add to that discomfort, during the main course the server lightly touched my shoulder while leaving the table, which crossed a personal boundary and made me uncomfortable. This restaurant is very close to being exceptional, and that's what makes this review difficult. The food and early service showed so much promise, but the inconsistencies in communication, professionalism, and the final impression prevented it from fully delivering on the experience it clearly aims to provide.

This was in the top five of our dining experiences. The staff really put everything over the top. Traveling with kids, the team worked with us to feed them and ensure we had the tasting menu experience we crave and can be hard to find. The space is open; noisy but not so much that we could not have an adult conversation over a large table. The somm was insightful when we mentioned dessert wine was a rarity for us, and he offered a different option for the desert pairing. The food was great. The staff was next level. Thank you to all the staff. We so appreciate your time and dedication to creating a special night for us.

This is the worst restaurant I ever tried the chicken looked too perfect I thought it would taste good it had zero flavor. The bread was soggy with tomato sauce on top. I was starving so I ordered cheese cake for dessert thinking that would taste good. It tasted like whipped blue cheese everyone on our table agreed it did not taste like cheesecake. Never coming back!

The food was flavorless everything looks good but tastes disgusting almost like bio engineering meat the bread was soggy and dessert was horrible
So I tried three appetizers, one out of three was terrific, which was the Philly cheesesteak. The horseradish crème fraiche overpowered the caviar cone, and the oysters were nothing special. Also, two steaks: the Rosewood Wagyu and the Coffee-rubbed Wagyu hanger steak, which were both average. The Josper roasted carrots were amazing. I wish I had ordered two. I would definitely recommend them. Had two desserts, also the Tarta De Queso, which was a goat cheese cake. It was different: it had honey drizzled on it with a pinch of salt. Mine was slightly oversalted. The Chocolate Soufflé was ok. The service was excellent from the host to the entire wait staff. Overall, it was a good experience.

I really wanted to love it but there were some notable downsides for our visit. The were also some really nice high points. We had to wait a bit to be seated, totally fine. The decor and view were amazing! Loved the set up. Server was so nice but a bit slow to check in or return, at times waiting for awhile. Nice complimentary wine.
Bathroom: there is only one! It was kind of dirty, toilet paper not on the roll, almost totally out of soap. I was surprised for the level of restaurant
Service: our server was so nice but not that interactive. The table behind us, the server kept going behind me, hitting my chair, squeezing past, never said excuse me. Super annoying.
Couldn't hear the servers explain the food as it was way too loud
The food! Caviar cone: tasted good, but not really memorable. No big flavor pop. Philly cheese steak: one of my favorites! Really good! Tuna with fried quail eggs: could be good, but way over saturated with soy. Totally overwhelmed it Onion soup: meh Palate cleanser sorbet: couldn't tell what flavor it was supposed to be. Had some lime? Steak: washygu ribeye: AMAZING!!! Whipped potatoes: they don't lie when they say mostly butter! Was too much butter for us. Asparagus: really liked this one! Just don't use all the garlic sauce or it's too much. Chocolate souffle: yum! Would get this a million times. Basque cheesecake: also good but I wanted even more honey then they put on
They gave us an extra glass of wine to celebrate date night, so nice!
Cocktail:? pishco? (Can't recall) sour. Good! Maybe not what I wanted with the food I ended up ordering, but separately, a good cocktail
Overall: glad I tried it, but not blown away

This was one of the most magical dinner dates my husband and I have had. I chose Bazaar Meat for my husband's birthday dinner because he loves Spanish food, Iberico ham, and meat in general. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere was fun and lively while not being intimidating or stuffy. The food was fun and experiential - so much more than just ordering the typical app, glass of wine, caesar salad and steak dinner. If you're looking for a great night out, want to be treated like a celebrity, have fun surprises come your way, and taste amazing food - Bazaar Meat is the way to go! We can't wait to return for our next big celebration.
