Do NOT eat here under any circumstances
We dined here in mid-November, and I’ve waited three months to write this review to see if I’d be less mad about the experience we had here. I am not. I’ve lived in Chicago for nearly four years. My fiancé grew up here. We have been fortunate enough to dine at some of the best restaurants in Chicago, and we both agreed this is one of the worst meals we’ve ever had in this city. Don’t get me wrong, the decor is beautiful. That’s how they suck you in. We certainly sat down with high expectations and, after reading stellar reviews, we were ready to be blown away. Disappointed is an extreme understatement. We dined here with another couple, and we walked out of this restaurant embarrassed that we had suggested this place for dinner. Not only is the food insanely overpriced, but the quality was seriously mediocre. The steak we ordered was tough and fatty. We ordered it medium well, and it came medium rare. The couple we were dining with didn’t even eat their steak. I knew they had to be hungry, because the previous four dishes we had ordered were so tiny, they only allowed for each person to have quarter-sized portions of food. The bill was four digits, and we all left hungry. On top of that, the service was mid-tier. Also, there is NO bathroom upstairs. You have to take the elevator down two floors to the basement of the building. If I’m dining at a world-class chef’s restaurant, I’d certainly expect for there to be a restroom that isn’t essentially a parking garage bathroom. I’m giving this place two stars solely for the fact that the tartare was amazing, and the chocolate banana soufflé dessert was out of this world. The saving grace of this whole experience is that we didn’t dine here with anyone from out of town. I would’ve hated for this to be someone’s first experience eating out in Chicago, as it’s certainly not reflective of all the incredible restaurants we have here. I’d choose McDonalds over this place. We will absolutely not be back, and we would never recommend this restaurant to anyone.

This was an amazing meal. I wanted to go to RPM Steak, but they don't accept single reservations, so I said screw it and went to José Andrés's Bazaar. Meat They don't mind taking a single diner's money. I was in the mood for steak, but as José is known for pork, I considered the secreto, which is one of my favorite cuts of pork. I have it shipped in from Spain to cook at home, and I was wondering how Bazaar prepares it. But I opted to go whole hog . . . well, 1/4 baby hog. I went with the suckling pig. The meal started with two gazpacho shots. I love gazpacho and make it often, and I've had a lot of gazpacho in Spain, but this was the best I've ever had. Next was the patas bravas. Subtle and smoking, they were outstanding. The star of the show was the suckling pig. They have a special oven just for the pig. It took 45 minutes to cook it, then they brought it out for my inspection before cutting it up. It was tender, flavorful, and sublime. It came with a bib lettuce salad that was very very good. This was a truly amazing meal, so thank you, RPM, for refusing my reservation.

What an incredible dining experience! Your entire staff was friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. Our main server was Jessica who was superb. She gave us the lay of the land, and how to best enjoy our Tapas style dinner. She also cut and served many of the shareable dishes. The cocktail was small and okay, but the wine selection was vast ~ we enjoyed the Spanish Pegasus Zeta and the Granbazan which really complemented the dishes. On to the delicious food … the Bison carpaccio was a great start. We enjoyed the Chicken croquetas with bechamel, as well as the grilled gem lettuce. The Washugu strip was good, but the star was the Quarter Suckling Pig which was incredibly juicy with light crispy skin. They gave us complimentary Gazpacho which was so refreshing as well as tow desserts. The restaurant is relaxing, and gorgeous with beautiful lighting and glass artwork throughout. This was an incredible experience. We also so admire and support the dedicated hard work of Jose Andres and his World Food Kitchen.
Be the first to ReplyAnniversary dinner
We let the restaurant know we were celebrating our anniversary. Every single person. wished us "Happy Anniversary", from the hosts who greeted us, to the waiter, to the busser. Multiple times, even. It was our first visit to Bazaar Meats, tho we had been to Bar Mar downstairs. Upstairs is quieter, darker despite big windows with river views, and smaller. It' a comfortable space. I ordered a rum cocktail to start; it was a well balanced drink, just delicious and potent. To eat, we ordered patatas bravas, the grilled Gem lettuce salad, shrimp w/ garlic sauce, octopus and tournedos Rossini. The shrimp came first, accompanied by 4 triangles of crisp pan de cristal, followed by the salad, then the octopus and the tournedos together. The tournedos was room temperature and came sliced into 4 pieces to share with unctuous foie gras atop and in a pool of excellent silky Perigord sauce. The tournedos and the salad were the 2 stand-outs. Just delicious. We never got the potatoes, so when they had not arrived by the time we finished the meat dish, we cancelled the order. The meat was a plentiful portion ($90), the other dishes were rather skimpy. The kitchen is enamored of molecular gastronomy: there was a globe of parmesan espuma atop the salad which was both pretty and tasty. The hard round globe of coconut "floating island" you had to crack open with a spoon; that didn't work so well and did not have much coconut flavor but the pineapple beneath it did, while the rum sauce was a bit overpowering and icy cold. They brought an extra vanilla bean ice cream dessert with "Happy Anniversary" spelled out in foam which they torched tableside before it became visible. Cute touch. Service was good, friendly and competent. It's also a leisurely affair. The waiter asked us to order our entire meal at the beginning because the steaks take up to an hour to prepare. Food comes from different kitchens, so may not arrive in the order you'd expect; we got the shrimp before the salad and the octopus came at the same time as the tournedos. It's an expensive outing. Dinner for 2 with only one cocktail and no wine, came to a little over $200 with tax but before tip.

Dinner at this restaurant was amazing. Such a great variety of tapas. Definitely things that are inventive and delicious. Service was top notch. I can’t wait to return and bring friends.
Be the first to ReplyBazaar Meat should be considered for a Michelin star.
Chef Jose Andres' restaurant deserves a Michelin star. The menu, ambiance and customer service are well deserving of recognition. We made an early dinner reservation so we were able to enjoy the nice decor and quiet environment all to ourselves for a little while before the crowd trickled in. I would suggest reserving a table by their floor to ceiling glass window with the view of the Chicago River. Very romantic. Our server was very helpful with the menu and his recommendations were amazing as well as some of the other appetizer and entree options. We enjoyed the not-so-typical- onion soup consisting of apple, brioche, foie gras presented "cappucino" style. We also were complemented with a very instagrammable Patatas Bravas. The foieffle was a "snack" to go back for - air waffle, foie espuma, peanut butter and honey. I loved my Spanish Octopus and my husband feasted on Wagyu beef. Other interesting selections on the menu included dragonfruit ceviche (with tuna), Japanese eel taco (bbq), and peruvian potato, sea urchin and huancaina espuma. For those that love foie gras, they give a very generous helping. For the liquor connoisseur, the cocktail and beverage menu is extensive. The staff were friendly, courteous, well trained, and professional, which of course makes all the difference. I will definitely go back and perhaps try the eel tacos or the sea urchin, or...the next time I visit Chicago. Que aproveche!
