A wide variety of tasty small plates and accompanying wines. We especially enjoyed the Fideos, Arroz, and Razor Clams. Both the server and the sommelier were very knowledgeable and steered our table to good choices. The only minor drawback is that the space is tight and the lighting dim - a disservice to seeing the well plated dishes.

Based on reviews I was concerned as Bazar Mar was one of my favorite restaurants in MIA. Decided to give it a go and we had a wonderful dinner. Ordered from the regular menu and was amazed at the flavor journey with each bite. The menu is smaller than the former MIA location but just as amazing. The cocktails did not disappoint!

So you’re not actually reserving a table on this app. You’re just securing your entrance. The cover fee is 20 a person and we realized we weren’t actually going to have a table once we got there. It was packed with people, and there were hardly any available tables (which are first come first serve apparently) because of course the people that arrived earlier hadn’t left yet. Food and drinks are pricey, although very tasty. There are two levels and both are decorated nicely and lean into the nostalgia of noche buena.
