Set in the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC, The Bazaar is the culmination of a 30-year dream for Chef José Andrés. Drawing inspiration from this iconic location, which first opened in 1899 and served as DC’s General Post Office until 1914, The Bazaar is a multi-level destination reinvented with avant-garde and Americana-inspired decor.

    This is definitely a special occasion restaurant, and I really wanted to impress my favorite niece after our Christmas concert - TSO! Kitty was awesome!! He's been there for a few years he knew just how much to bother us, and how to help us navigate the menu. We did the classic tasting menu and it didn't disappoint! Everything about our visit set our Christmas off to a great start! And the host, Alexis, was amazing!!!

    The food and drinks were amazing. High points of the meal were the caviar cones, brussel sprouts, Spanish octopus, oxtail croquetas, and the carrot cake. The drinks were also excellent, specifically the sazarac and the foggy hill. Julian L was a great waiter, very charming and helpful with helping us make our selections. The service from all staff was top tier. Everyone was attentive and each element of the meal came out much quicker than expected, showcasing the overall efficiency of the restaurant. Overall a wonderful date night experience in DC that we loved and will definitely return for.

    Hope it was an off night because we were very disappointed. We’ve been to many if not all of Jose Andres restaurants over the years. We had to walk around to find a suitable table, the server was snooty. Enjoyed most of the dishes except the Abalone dish had 2 pieces of Abalone the size of a finger nail, could barely find it in the chickpeas and sauce. The biggest disappointment was it was a birthday celebration which was indicated in the reservation and we got no acknowledgement during dessert. There are so many great restaurants in the area we won’t go back to this one!

    Lovely food. Choice of a la carte ordering or tasting menus per Chef Andres. Excellent service with a smile. Well run outfit. Aesthetic presentation of goods needs work in order to be a top end restaurant. But overall outstanding!

    I was surprised the mussels were presented in a tin can cold making it feel like I just opened a can though they tasted good. Also Post write of the Waldorf endive salad made it a must try. I prefer a more normal Waldorf. She crab soup was outstanding. After tasting my companion's I had to order one for myself. Seating was open to beautiful hotel lobby. There was nothing about the decor that gave an hint of a bazaar, more like more hotel lobby. Bread had to be ordered separately. I prefer Zatanya and Jaleo.

    Service and food were excellent! We had several small plates and every bite was amazing. Favorites were the pollo al ajillo, the mussels, and the Brussels sprouts. Service was incredibly attentive and helpful with recommendations. Would highly recommend!
