Best Spanish Restaurants in Mandarin Oriental

We had a 5:30 reservation on Christmas Eve, were greeted warmly by everyone, and were seated immediately. I haven't been to Vegas in over 30 years and was surprised to see how many fine restaurants are essentially in malls and casinos. Bazaar Mar is beautifully appointed, but I will admit, it took me a while to adjust to the fact that part of my view was of a shopping mall. That being said, our experience was superb. We opted for Jose's Creative Experience at $275 a head, and feel we made an excellent choice. Our waiter John was incredibly knowledgably and enthusiastic. Hubby's cocktail was smoked table side to start our culinary journey. Where to begin? I think there were 14 courses in all. It's hard to pick a favorite, but some highlights.... The Jamón Ibérico was like butter...salty, ham flavored butter! Also LOVED the tempura red snapper, the lobster salad, and the Anchoas Don Bocarte (which was essentially toast slathered with butter and whole anchovies) The pacing was perfect, start to finish we were there for 3 fantastic hours. It was an incredibly creative, memorable meal. Even at $275 a head, we felt we got incredible value. Bravo!!!

Very nice food, chef came to our table with a dessert that wasn’t even on the menu. Delicious!!

Five of us went here for a special occasion, and it was overall a great time! The Sangria pitchers are excellent, and the small plates we shared were tasty and a pretty good value! Would highly recommend the Patatas Bravas and stuffed peppers. In the style of tapas, we ordered a few plates at a time, but towards the end we started feeling rushed by the servers (we were there for less than an hour). We finished with desert. The churros were great and you get a lot of food for the price! The cheesecake was the same cost for a pitiful amount of (very good) food. Would skip the cheesecake next time, but we will definitely be back!

We had 10-course dinner and every dish that came out was delectable. Our server made it more enjoyable.

Food and service was amazing. It was a little loud from the casino crowd but otherwise a top notch, delicious experience.
