    The food was great and the service above and beyond. Our server, Myeisha, was absolutely first rate. The jamon with tomato bread was like being back in Spain.

    Wonderful experience! Everything was delicious (the boneless chicken wings were only OK). The Iberico pork loin in particular was outstanding, as was the miso eggplant. Interesting cocktails. First rate service. Dramatic space.

    We love The Bazaar. This was our fourth visit and love love the food, the service, the ambience, and we are always are warmly welcomed. Highly recommend!!!i An edit to my initial post: We failed to say that we admire and respect Jose Andres. He is a caring humanitarian. We certainly can use more like him. We also love his other DC restaurants, Jaleo, ChinaChilcano, Oyamel, and Zaytinya.

    Easter brunch food was delicious. The only area I have to criticize is the coffee. It’s not included in the price of the brunch and is served in little tiny cups that are probably about 5-6 oz. Looked like a slightly large espresso cup. As a result of the tiny size we had multiple cups of plain black coffee. When the bill came we realized that each tiny cup was $8 each and they charged us $64 for 8 tiny cups of coffee. I complained and said that was an absurd price and that if they were going to not include coffee in the price of the brunch they should at least provide free refills of black coffee. They too $30 off of the $64. Still an absurd price but at least it was something. I’d avoid coffee at brunch at this restaurant.

    Very disappointing overall. Host staff not friendly and energetic upon arrival nor departure. Our Server was friendly at first but then as restaurant began to fill hus service fell flat and was supplemented by food runners dropping off food. The Starters came quickly and literally 10 minutes after, out came our entrees which we refused (too soon!). We had to request the special small spoons needed for the Mini-granola parfait . Next a service assistant came to take only the empty mini parfait jar directly off my plate …while I was still eating the other items. Entrees were underwhelming and final dessert plate was just 4 cookies to share, on a plain white plate without any type of garnish or design (did not care for any flavors/textures). We were Never offered water refills after our glasses became empty by entree course. We had to ask for coffee refills 3x. Very much a huge fan of Jose’ Andres’ concepts but this was huge miss. Lack of attention to details, food creativity and the service poor. After long wait I then had to get up to find the server who was with a manger and ask for my check. Not a good Easter experience

    The food was great! The service was uneven, perhaps due to inexperienced waiters.
