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.

    The Christmas Tasting Menu was delicious! One in our group was vegetarian, we informed them ahead of time, and a tasting menu was provided that met our needs. The staff was friendly, efficient, and professional and we look forward to dining there again in the future.

    Really good wine and food pairing on a holiday night, always a good time at a Jose Andres restaurant. Not as magical as Jaleo was a few years back, but very very good.

    The food was mediocre at best. It did not come out in the order of the menu which was odd. The service was ok. Food was brought out with no serving utensils at times. Long waits in between some dishes. Not worth the price at all.

    Sat at the worst table in the restaurant so tight the server hit my water. Next to our table they stored the ice buckets and empty bottles of wine. This table should be eliminated. We asked to be moved and then we had a lovely time. No one should be subjected to that table even for 10 minutes

    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!!!

    We so enjoyed our excellent service from Will and the whole staff. Favorites includes the Jose taco and the onion soup and the asparagus. Delightful.

    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.
