   The pre-fixed menu was horrible. The food is around 2-star and the portion is super tiny. We have done many pre-fixed menu in the past and 3 just for this holidays week, and yes I understand they were supposed to be small portions as they were 4-5 courses but nothing like this tiny. My 8 years old was still hungry after. We had to go to pick up some other food after dined there. Service: 1-star, the waiter is no where to be found, no checking on our table. We had to ask/ request things through the servers when they bought food out. No one re-filled our water. We ordered another round of drinks but never came (they didn’t charge for them though). This is a beautiful restaurant in a lovely upscale hotel. The hotel lobby is the only 5-star in this whole experience.

   NYE tasting menu was decent but overpriced for what it was. Not a lot of creativity in the dishes; it seems like the chefs justified the cost by adding caviar on half of the dishes. Service was inconsistent; server was not very attentive even though the restaurant was mostly empty toward the end of the night

   Went for NYE and had prix fixe menu. I don’t feel like the food quality and service were reflective of the $275 per person price.

   We came for two reasons, we both retired and it was NYE so it was celebration time! It was an awesome experience. The food was incredible, we had the perfect table, quiet, out of the way, but with the full view of this beautiful hotel. I can't say enough about the staff, they were professional, respectful and seemed to cater to any of our needs immediately. All was seamless. Chef Jose outdid himself with the combination of food; his Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, was beautifully sprinkled around the meal, the Wagyu beef simply melted in your mouth. Even the oxtail croquettes were fab·u·lous, something I wasn't expecting. And OMG the Chocolate tart de Queso was to die for. I will definitely recommend Bazaar to everyone and anyone. It was a wonderful evening and was the perfect way to spend the last night of 2024. I will never forget this experience!! P.S. I am a Personal Chef and they brilliantly and delightfully outdid my expectations at every level.

   I dined alone. Half my courses had to be boxed up. It’s a lot of food for one person. That ruined my fantastic server and ambience or delicious food!

   Creative and delicious tapas-style plates in the sophisticated and whimsical setting of the Waldorf Astoria’s cavernous lobby.

    Great experience at The Bazaar for lunch. Our server, Carlos, was informative, gracious, and efficient. He doubled as the bartender and made us exquisite Mezcal Old Fashioneds. Food was truly tasty, accompanied with in-depth explanations, courtesy of an exceptional wait staff. Definitely try the oysters, patatas bravas, and the burger!
