   We went for Valentine’s Day. We were seated upstairs. A comfy, sleek atmosphere combined with marble floors columns and walls. There’s something goth-esque about the surroundings. Bravo to the Sommelier who knew her Spanish wines. She spent a considerable amount of time helping us choose just the right bottle for the variety of tapas we planned to order. We chose one from almost each category. The raw seafood and seafood choices were our favorites. The octopus was divine! I loved the oxtail croquettas and my boyfriend loved the oysters that came in a can, a nod to smoked oysters in a can (lid and all!). They were truly delicious, delicate with a hint of citrus. The ceviche in the dragon fruit was mind blowing! So delicate and fragrant. It reminds me of the ocean. Dining at Bazaar is an experience for your palate. It is worth the culinary trip. I’ve dined on José Andres’ culinary creations since he arrived on the corner of 7th and E Street’s Jaleos and have followed him as he opens one culinary destination after another. Another diamond!

   I recently had the pleasure of dining at, The Bazaar and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and attentive service that made us feel truly welcome. The food was nothing short of spectacular—every dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and made with the freshest ingredients. Every bite was a delight. Beyond the amazing food, the service was top-notch. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and always made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. It’s rare to find such a perfect balance of attentiveness and professionalism. The ambiance of the restaurant was also wonderful—cozy yet elegant, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. I can’t wait to go back and try more from the menu. If you’re looking for an incredible dining experience, The Bazaar is the place to be! Highly recommend!

   Nice experience in the Old Post Office Pavilion. A bit pricey, but the food was tasty and presented nicely and we had excellent service. A splurge for Valentine's Day.

   The service was impeccable - from the initial sitting down, to cocktails, wine etc and ordering -extraordinary and exceptional. The food is small plates and for my wife and I, ordered 7. They brought them out one at a time, except for two that complimented one another. There back staff was waiting as each round was finished and they came to take the dishes and renew with new plates. Each round completely tantalized the palates. The iwnes are reasonably priced for DC and such an establishment and the selection is global. Their signature cocktails are a one of a kind! The restaurant is as refined and polished as one can imagine. And best of all, the food prices are quite moderate for such a setting and in the location in the Waldorf in Washington DC on Pennsylvania Ave. The ceviche in a passion fruit is something that surpasses any ceviche I have ever eaten in USA or in South America. Even their finality of their "key lime " is not a pie, but a masterpiece of flavors i what is utilized to create the dish.

    Nice dinner experience. But a warning about parking - we arrived for a 6:30 dinner on Saturday and were told by the valet they had no spaces remaining. Ridiculous for a mega-restaurant and a Waldorf Astoria! Basically had to bribe the valet to take our car. A ridiculous situation that Jose Andres and Waldorf Astoria need to solve.
