We went for lunch, and ordered the Sweet Chips, Patatas Bravas, Mussels, Oxtail Croqueta, Brussels Sprouts, Smashed Burger, She-crab Soup, and Pollo Al Ajillo. And everything was absolutely fantastic! Some of the best food I’ve had in a long time. We also had the Salt Air Margaritas and the Emerald Coin. I would happily order both again.
Went for lunch and was impressed by the design and atmosphere of the restaurant. I enjoy nice restaurants and am not against "fine dining" at all, still, as soon as I opened the drinks and wine by the glass menu, I got severe sticker shock. A glass of champagne was $36 and sparkling wine was $28. Basically, all of their wines by the glass were between $25 and $40. I think that including a few more selections at a more reasonable price would be nice. Since I was there celebrating I got a glass of champagne. It was good, but not amazing.The came the menus which confused me a bit. I thought they were appetizers and entrees but it turns out they were all tapas. They ranged from about $14 (small bites) to about $50 a tapa. With most being in the $24-$38 dollar range. My guest and I had four tapas and one dessert to share, a bottle of sparkling water and my one glass of champagne. The bill came out just shy of $300 without tip. I felt it was excessive. The food was good but not dazzling. The service was exceptional but $365 for two for lunch is a bit much.

On the spendy side. I've eaten some amazing food in my life. Although not my number 1 restaurant, respectable top 10. The Sazerac was amazing. We had several very good dishes but our favorite was the coconut rice with cuddle fish. Espresso at the end was great.

The decoration and dishes are both exquisite. We had two meals and none of the dishes we ordered were outstanding. My favorite is Jose’s taco and Spanish ham. The liquid nitrogen cocktail is also very nice to watch. The service is excellent, and several dishes are cooked in front of you. There are also some discounts when you check out with inkind.

Visited in early April 2023 and, no surprise, it was delicious, so much fun, and it’s in a great people-watching spot, overlooking the lounge and beautiful bar of the DC Waldorf Astoria, from above. What made the meal, which we enjoyed with friends, even more special was that he has the famous El Bulli olives on the menu - and we were lucky enough to have them. We enjoyed The Bazaar so much we went again in April 2024. Again, such a joy and celebration of food, taking original tapas to another modern level but keeping their spirit. This, in a great looking and super interesting setting, with a dynamic server. We'll visit anytime we go to DC.

This was a very good experience; the food is really good but I think you don’t have a lot of options. I had oysters, patatas bravas, jamón ibérico with pan de tomate (this was the best) edamames and wagyu also paella Pasta , the sizes are very small, they are better for sharing different plates

The dining room is really rich and unique, food is creative and tasty. Best for ordering several dishes to share, or tasting menu with some additional bites to satisfy a hungry appetite.

Really enjoyed eating here. The service was top notch and the space is really pretty. The portions are not huge but almost everything was really tasty. I especially liked Neptune’s pocket, the croquet, the Philly cheese steak. The jamon was delicious. The salmon was so tender and tasty! Also recommend the stuffed peppers. The cocktails were delicious. The desserts were good and I suppose places like this have to serve them deconstructed so they can make a key lime pie feel fancy. don’t recommend the Brussels sprouts.
I went to this establishment with my children last night ((March 31), I enjoyed food I didn’t think I would ever eat. The food was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was beautiful and oh, what can I say about the staff and management? I have never met the most friendliest and the most professional group in a restaurant. They were such a great staff. They made sure we were comfortable and they explain everything you’re getting ready to eat before you touch it so you can understand what it was your eating. Kudos to your staff, bartender and the managers. Thank you very much for the fantastic service.Johnetta

Not impressed at all. The food was nothing special and the portions were so small for the pre-fix menu. If the portions are going to be that small, I would at least expect them to be unique or extravagant. Basic food, boring flavors, and left hungry after spending $165/pp before drinks. The desert was a plate of strawberry gummies. Cmon.
