   Loved it and our waiter was Jason, I believe his name was, was great! I appreciate his service and I’ll come back for that dragon fruit dish on the menu which I told him I was thinking about💕

   The Bazaar is one of the top spots for a culinary experience in DC. The extensive menu and top-notch service created a memorable dinner with a unique and calming ambiance. High quality food with highly respectful staff would make us come here again time after time.

   The food was phenomenal and the atmosphere set it over the top. I took my parents who loved it and also had the chance to experience The Bazaar in Vegas. They had two completely different experiences and loved them both. The servers and staff were all so welcoming and showed us safe as well as the food they brought out. This experience was unforgettable and for any special occasion I have with friends/family I will bring them here to enjoy themselves.

   I’ve been to many of Chef Andres’ restaurants, Jaleo is a Gem, and I have always enjoyed them. 5/5. BUT I would not recommend the Bazaar in DC to anyone. I’m highly disappointed. We got the Thanksgiving dinner today. The wait staff never brought out our salads, we said nothing and moved on. We had a spill at our table and no wait staff came to assist. They had to be asked for a fresh glass after the accident. They had to be asked for fresh napkins after we used them to clean up the orange juice that was spilled. We were regularly overlooked for water and wine. We ordered three dinners and received two pieces of duck to divide for ourselves. Servers rushed through the explanations of the dishes we were being served or did not know what they were so they called others over. It was cold shoulder service and not what I’ve come to expect from Chefs restaurants by far. We certainly did not receive the dining experience we paid for. Not even close. The only saving grace was the sommelier. He was polite, warm, courteous, and an expert. He helped us pair our dinner with the perfect wine. Meals were served while people were in the restroom, some of us didn’t get utensils or fresh plates between servings, I mean what did we really pay for if not for the experience? I don’t look for these things but it was so bad that it was distracting. I’m saddened that this place holds Chef Andres’ name. I feel if he knew of what is happening there he would not be happy. Sub par all around, minus the sommelier, who was fantastic. I’m so sorry to say but it’s true. We feel completely robbed and again, very disappointed on Thanksgiving. Should have stayed home.

   Absolutely Best meal we’ve ever had, every course was a flavor explosion that we could not believe tasted better than it looked although it looked perfect, hard to explain. Thank you, Jose Andres, for dreaming of these amazing meals for us to enjoy. , the combs, the carpaccio, the pears, the duck… The steak… The vegetables… Were amazing
