    This was the second time we've been to Bazar Tapas. The first time we came we had the tapas plates. The baby lamb chops, the patatas bravas, and the wild mushroom croquettes were are favorites. This time we had the seafood paella. It was phenomenal! The service was great and the ambience perfect.

    I am glad I came back, as our dining experience this time was excellent. We ordered a la carte (rather than the tasting menu/wine paring, which was a bit underwhelming last time) and we were thrilled with the dishes and the service. I had not had the Bantijian Bil Laban (crispy eggplant) before and it was delicious. Our server was extremely helpful in guiding us to the appropriate quantity of dishes for a party of three and the sommelier recommended a delicious bottle of Greek red wine. The host and hostesses at the reception desk were kind and accommodating and the bartenders were attentive. A lovely dining experience.

    Great atmosphere! The dishes were super yummy, but choose a few more then you think you’ll need because some dishes were very small portions. Our waiter was great and the service was exceptional from the time we entered the restaurant until we left! Will definitely go back!
