    Ivory peacock was an amazing Valentine’s Day experience for my wife and I. After a Broadway show we showed up early, were seated promptly, given plenty of time to decide on drinks, we had the white Negroni and the Moscow mule. We had the most delicious tuna tartare with caviar. It was an exceptional all around vibe. Romantic and fancy, yet relaxed and casual. The food was just the right amount.

    This is an extraordinary restaurant. The chef is fabulous, and the Valentine's Day dinner was special, with items we haven't had, even though we've been to The Bazaar many times. Everything we ate was wonderful! The sommelier is knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The service is professional and friendly. Highly recommend The Bazaar!

    Sushi by Bou Chelsea was a great experience. I had concerns about my reservation and they were super responsive and helpful before I even got there. Once I did, I was treated like a long time friend. Everyone was very friendly, answered all my questions about the ingredients and made sure I had a great time as a solo diner. The fish was delicious. Everything tasted fresh out of the water and the combination of flavors just had a melt in your mouth effect. The staff was very attentive and made me feel like I was a 100x repeat customer. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!! Thanks Imax and team!
