Bazaar Meat By José Andrés

Was told it would be a 25-30 minute wait for the bar (!!!). 90 minutes later, still not seated, only to then be told it would be 45 more minutes. Ridiculous! Wish the hostesses quoted even remotely accurately, as we blew out our evening pre-show time. Will not deal with this again.

I went to the restaurant last Saturday night. We were seated in the back right in front of the open kitchen and the grill. Our waiter was outstanding and polite.

The food w great, but what we witnessed made our stomach turn. We were watching the chef taking a steak off the grill and it fell on the floor and he waited until no one is looking and literally picked it right off the floor and threw it right back on the grill. I was completely shocked. He then flipped it a couple of times and then took it to the one person next to him who was cutting and plating.

I understand that at that restaurant it takes one hour to cook a 2 pound steak but if someone is paying $200 for a steak, I would expect them to throw that away and come and apologize to the guest and start over again. I brought it to the manager‘s attention. He was shocked, but did nothing about it. I even wrote Corporate about it and they did nothing.

I’ve included a picture of the chef

I’m still in shock about that whole incident. Other than that, the food was great, but I would never go back.

I have been here a few times, but I like to add to my reservation sometimes and you cannot get a hold of anyone via phone calls or email. What a joke when they charge this kind of money for their food.

We were fortunate enough to eat at Bazaar Meats almost 2 weeks ago. We opted for the smaller tasting menu which had 14 courses since the cost of 2 steaks would have been approximately the same amount with sides and appetizers. We wanted to taste a variety of food since everything on the menu looked good and we were having difficulty deciding. While the food was delicious and very creative, there were too many courses. I think that if there was smaller tasting menu without quite as many items, it would be a huge draw and there wouldn't be as much food waste, which Jose Andres works hard to avoid. Delicious!

Ok, you can expect to get gouged in Las Vegas, but this took gouging to a whole new level. And you wouldn’t mind so much if the food was at least good. I’m an adventurous eater, and I enjoy imaginative and creative dishes, but I feel like it should say bizarre meat, instead of bazaar meat! It’s like they were trying to reinvent the wheel. Instead of letting delicious flavors of things like Alaskan king crab shine through - they put overpowering strange seasonings on, and it was cooked to the point of being mushy. It was also a very meager portion for $145. What a disappointment. Overall, I found the menu and the food to be very pretentious. And I did not enjoy it at all. The French onion soup came in a shot glass, there was nothing about it that resembled French onion soup. And it was like drinking a glass of salt! We paid Close to $400 for dinner for two people, And left still hungry and disappointed.
That aside, the weight staff was nice, the restaurant was beautiful. Very dark, though, and really noisy. Had to shout to carry on a conversation.

It was disappointing. You can no longer see how the meat is cooked like to old location. Prices are higher and no more straw fries. Favorite cut of meat is no longer on menu. Tried to get ahold of front desk prior to reservation via email and called 3+ times, never got an answer. Service at restaurant was great, just hard to enjoy when it was impossible to get ahold of prior to the reservation.

We were pressured to order the set menu, as otherwise we were told our main course would require 45minutes to cook!! Our reservation was at 530pm and had tickets to The Eagles at the Sphere at 8pm next door and we left half the meal to get to the concert. In short, if you didn’t already dine at Bazaar Meat BEFORE they moved from the SLS, Don’t bother.

We were incredibly impressed with the small plates, but the steak was underwhelming. 1) We got the angus-wagyu American breed. It was high quality, but needed a bit of fat trimmed, the thickest fat pieces were not perfectly rendered. The crust was not as impressive as at Cut, and the gradient region was a bit thick. But overall a good value for the price. 2) The wagyu was quite disappointing. The pieces we saw looked incredible, at least marbling score 11. But the preparation was poor, borderline offensive. It’s cooked table side on a small grill over hot stones. The pieces were thin. This is not the way to cook wagyu. Wagyu fat melts at very low temperature so you need a slightly thicker piece, about a cm, so you can develop a crust with very high heat without causing all the fat to melt out of the meat. The experience amounted to a thin, soft, fatty slice with no Maillard flavor. 3) I don’t want to give the impression we didn’t like the experience. The salmon taradito and wagyu cheesesteaks were both incredible. The cheesesteak would be improved with a stronger, dry aged steak however, as the cheddar cheese is strong. The small bites were a nice touch. The orange and liquified olive was impressive, but the other olive could be ignored. Lastly, the air salt margarita was incredible, like breathing in the ocean. Will definitely return for a light meal with the small dishes, but skip the steak.

Loved the new location. Decor is more modern and sleek but retains the same personality and charm of the original restaurant. The service is top tier as always with great suggestions for the table. Overall great dining experience. Will be visiting next time we go.

Ok, I never leave reviews but eat out a lot. I was very disappointed with the food quality as a whole. It’s too pretentious and the steak was nothing that would make me run back. I really wanted to like this place. Owner/Chef, please reevaluate your food. Your STEAKs are dry and flavorless for the price point (had med rare steak). Beautiful restaurant layout. Lastly, be upfront with guests that steaks take closer to an hour to be ready.

Get one of the tasting menus. What a great experience, I have yet to go to a better steak house in LV. Pay to play and it worth it.
