Great Service, Cool Atmosphere, Good (But Not Great) Food I'd wanted to try Bazaar Meat for several years after watching a vlog about the Las Vegas location, so I finally convinced a college friend to join me for the tasting menu with wine pairings (roughly $300 per person all-in). The service was outstanding from start to finish. The host/manager took time to introduce himself, chat with us, and even offered multiple seating options so we could choose where we'd be most comfortable. Our server was warm and attentive, and the sommelier provided thoughtful descriptions of each wine while remaining approachable and engaging throughout the meal. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere. The chairs are comfortable, the views of the Loop are impressive, and the Bazaar-inspired decor feels stylish without becoming overly themed. My only criticism is that the dining experience could feel more polished with tablecloths, higher-end china, and proper steak knives provided throughout the meal rather than relying primarily on a fork. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the price point for me. The caviar cones were delicious, but the caprese tasted overwhelmingly of pesto, and the olive preparation reminded me more of salad dressing than anything particularly memorable. The chicken croquettes were very good. The octopus was just okay and seemed slightly overcooked. Unfortunately, it also upset my stomach shortly afterward, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the remainder of the meal. The steak was good, but I've had better at significantly lower price points. Dessert was pleasant enough but ultimately forgettable. The wine pairings featured quality pours, which likely explains part of the cost, but I've experienced more compelling pairings elsewhere. Overall, Bazaar Meat excels in service and atmosphere, both of which were genuinely impressive. If you're dining on an expense account or looking for a lively business dinner spot, it's worth considering. For me, however, the food simply didn't justify the cost, and it won't be making my shortlist of Chicago recommendations. That said, the staff was exceptional, and I'd be open to giving it another try if the menu evolves. read more

Oh my goodness!! Had the most amazing experience for our 20th anniversary. Food was 10/10. I honestly don't know everything I had. Some things were new to me. We had complimentary bubbly drinks and we ordered from a menu that's already planned out. It is $145 per person. Everything was cute and delicious. They brought everything dish out separately with them explaining everything you are having, where it comes from and how the chef suggests you eat it. We ordered a couple different drinks and they were all good. Our waitress Toni was sooo beautiful. I love her! She was very informative on the establishment, food and the drinks. Juan Carlos kept our table clean and our water glass filled. Chris came over to check on us, as he was doing all the tables. He introduced himself, asked about our day, asked how was everything going so far in our visit. He gave us his card, asked what we were drinking and offered another round on him. These people made our anniversary feel like we were local upcoming celebrities lol. It was a great time and definitely will be back again and again. I'm telling my friends now so we can plan double dates. Check this place out yall... be prepared to spend money because it's $100 plus per person at least. read more

I've been to another Jose Andres restaurant so I knew I was in for something special and this did not disappoint. We had a 7pm show to catch so we did a 5:15 reservation with the theater tasting menu and timing could not be better. The food was so unique and well presented. The olives were a little weird but I appreciate the creativity and will try anything once! The chicken croquettes were the star and we could have eaten 10 more! The steak was cooked to perfection and the sauce plus the coffee "air" make for a perfect flavor combination without overpowering the steak itself. We also added the chocolate souffle and it was everything I could hope for. read more

We each got the Bazaar Meat Experience and it did not disappoint! Started with caviar cones- little cones with black caviar and a creamy filling, spot on! Next came the olives and olive sphere on a spoon. Very green olive forward. Then the caprese salad, charred cherry tomatoes, liquid mozzarella and pesto- so tasty, especially if you like pesto (which we do). OK, halfway there. Classic tartare, which Donna was very leery about, but it was an excellent mix of sirloin, mustard sauce, egg yolk, a touch of anchovy and shiso tempura. How about some Spanish octopus? Turned out to be a highlight, boiled and grilled with small potatoes on a great mojo icon sauce. Now for the steak- black angus ribeye served with buttered potato puree. My only quibble was here- a bit too salty for me, but just right for Donna. I forgot the piquillo peppers at the start. A nicely done little pickled peppers. And lastly, dessert. Honey cake with yogurt, grapes and chestnut ice cream. We were both full but had to eat this! Great finish with the server torching Happy Anniversary on our plate. The service was impeccable, courses came quickly, but not too. Had a nice chat with the sommelier. All in all, a memorable meal and experience. read more

This place 1000% made up for a terrible dining experience. TL/DR everything was amazing and staff went above and beyond for the group I was with. We got a 7 course pre fix with wine pairing. Small and shareable plates. Waygu was too good to pass up. Highly recommend and they accommodated for my allergy. read more

My husband and I treated ourselves for our anniversary and we were not disappointed. They started us with an amuse-bouche and glass of cava while we made food decisions. We went wth the meat experience and I can't say anything disappointed but my favorites were the not your everyday caprese salad and the Spanish Octopus. The steak was very good and they had a wonderful dessert surprise for us. It is a very large room so it became loud at times but did not detract from dinner. I would highly recommend. read more

Big fans of bar mar so finally got around to trying its meat forward sister restaurant during RW. Ambiance was fun, good energy in the crowd. Service was a little clunky but it's RW so gave them grace. - coffee rub hangar steak - both came out medium rare even though hubby ordered it blue but was still very tender, good flavor and love the cobble rub crust. The foam was fun but didn't last long - potato puree - definitely half butter at least but so good - piquillo peppers - good counter flavor to richness of steak and potatoes - caprese salad - great pop of flavor - ham and cheese - nice flavor and good crisp to it - chicken croquettes - not as good as we remember as this is also in menu downstairs at bar mar - salmon and lox cones were ok, very dairy fwd Old fashioned were nice and strong. Christos the manager was super friendly, showed us around when he showed us to our table and stopped by to check on our table. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. read more

I am a huge fan of Jose Andres and his vision. We were looking forward to our reservations. Service was good. Our waiter was great. So was the personal touch by the manager to inquire regarding our experience. The decor is beautiful and lovely for a romantic dinner date or group for any celebrations. We chose the prix fix menu. And added W9 and W11 Japanese Waygu. All the appetizers and small plates were excellent - caviar, olives, pesto caprese salad, steak tartare, and octopus. So that just built our expectation for the meats. The mains frankly were a bit disappointing. Good but not great. The wagyu were good cuts but the temperature just wasn't right - medium rare. It came out a bit cold. They did try to correct the issue but still wasn't to our taste. Not expecting it to be Japan perfect but disappointing nevertheless. For the main meat, great flavoring and temperature but we didn't like the cut too much. The dessert was good. A bit more texture/crunch would be great addition. read more

The Bazaar by José Andrés in Chicago is absolutely superb! Tucked away on the second floor of 120 N. Wacker Drive, this restaurant sits inside a sleek 52-story office tower right in the heart of the Loop, overlooking the beautiful riverfront. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by dramatic crimson chandeliers that look like volcanic flames--bold, fiery, and totally unforgettable. We were seated in a cozy booth piled with comfortable pillows that made the whole space feel both luxurious and welcoming. Then came the menu... and let me tell you, this thing was thick--like opening a novel dedicated entirely to the art of meat. Every page celebrated beef in inventive, mouthwatering ways, from classic ribeye to buttery, melt-in-your-mouth wagyu. Before we even ordered, they welcomed us with a glass of cava, a Spanish sparkling wine that perfectly prepped the palate. We started with their thick-cut patatas bravas--crispy, flavorful, and honestly good enough to be a meal on their own. For our entrée, we didn't waste any time. We went straight for the Bone-In Strip Loin, Washugyu/Angus, 18 oz. Absolutely phenomenal--juicy, rich, and full of robust flavor. We shared a trio of sides: roasted carrots so tender they almost melted like potatoes, vibrant green asparagus, and their buttery potato purée that felt like velvet on the tongue. And of course... dessert. I ordered the chocolate soufflé and wow--pure decadence. Warm, airy, rich, and irresistibly inviting. A perfect, succulent finish to an already incredible experience. If you're looking for a place that treats meat like an art form while giving you a dramatic, fun, and unforgettable dining atmosphere, The Bazaar is the spot. Can't wait to come back! read more

Bazaar Meat and Bar Mar are co-located in the same building. However, Bazaar Meat is closed on Sundays. Reservations are made through OpenTable, with tasting menu and prix fix options being highlighted over the standard a la carte option. First, how do you get in? There are at least two ways: 1. Enter through the entrance of Bar Mar, and hang a left so that you curl around to the lobby area of the building in front of the elevators. Take the elevator up to Bazaar Meat. 2. Enter through Bar Mar. Go to the blue staircase, which is slightly past the seafood bar, on the left. Walk up the flights of stairs to the Bazaar Meat level (2nd floor). The reverse method also makes a great exit strategy. Someone will greet you and then lead you to your table. As you walk in, you'll pass by their meat aging racks. Their dining room after sunset is mostly a dark, dim brown with indirect lighting. We were seated by a window. The restaurant appeared to be packed, but soon we were greeted by a staff member offering some type of complimentary wine already poured in two glasses. Since none at our table were planning to consume alcohol, we declined, so they offered and brought us a non-alcoholic beverage instead. Downstairs at Bar Mar, portions are generous. Does the same hold for Bazaar Meat? We ordered under the assumption of yes. However, that is an incorrect assumption to make as detailed below. Part of the menu between Bar Mar and Bazaar Meat overlap. We opted to order items not in common. First, two complimentary bites were presented. One was the stuffed olive. The other was a savory baked bite. Next came the set of olives, a total of 5. The first two bites were novel enough before the effect wore off. Jose's Taco came next, and while the flavor was fine, the quantity was disappointing: a slice of their jamón ibérico de bellota atop a roasted piece of seaweed, topped with some caviar. We opted for Pluma Ibérica de Bellota Pork, which was by far the highlight of the dinner. It was topped with chimichurri and a dollop of mojo verde on the side. The pork itself needed no accompaniment. The Coffee-Rubbed Hangar Steak was decidedly less impressive. It came with passionfruit sauce, not even a whole pearl onion, and three clumps of what must have been their "coffee air" foam. Unfortunately, the preparation resulting in a boring flavor for a hanger steak. The restaurant also offers Wagyu and roasted Suckling Pig. I suspect next time I would target the Suckling Pig. We finished off with a baby gem lettuce salad (Ensalada de "Cogollos") which contained 14 gem lettuce leaves and 14 halves of grape tomatoes along with piparra peppers, and green onion shavings. Finally for dessert we opted for the Tarta de Queso. It certainly tasted like cheesecake, though the texture difference between the interior and exterior was not as different as described. It was mostly solid with a tiny center portion that was "soft". After finishing the meal, you'll be given a parting gift at the front: some cheese and caramel corn. This was a nice gesture, and we decided to have it as a snack while walking through Lincoln Park the next day. Service-wise, the staff were all organized, warm, friendly, and attentive. Unfortunately, the quality of service doesn't make up for the preparation of food. Certainly the pork was a standout for me, but everything else had a low flavor to cost ratio. This was a slight disappointment to me when compared to Bar Mar downstairs. I suspect the next time I visit a Bazaar location, the way to go will be much more pork heavy. read more

What amazing ambiance! The river views are stunning! Service was prompt. Our waiter was condescending and perfunctory, likely because we were an older couple, we did not get the attention the younger couples around us were getting. We hardly saw the waiter. The food was outstanding! We loved the appetizers! The onion soup was the perfect starter. You must try the Philly cheesesteak appetizer( sounds crazy) but it was delicious! Our steaks were cooked exactly as we requested. I found mine salty, but it was dry aged beef so I should have expected it. I loved the intermezzo. The chocolate soufflé and the cheesecake ended the night on an up note! I will definitely be back. read more

My husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a date night at a steakhouse and happened upon Bazaar Meat and I'm so glad we did. From the start we had excellent service and you could tell that our waiter really enjoyed all the food and loved his job. The energy shined through in his service and made the experience top-notch. We started with the Philly cheesesteak, the croquettes, and the patatas bravas. All of them were excellent, but definitely think the Philly cheesesteak was the best out of the three. Then we decided to split a 14 ounce filet which was delicious, with the peppers and mushrooms. Finally, we topped it off with their chocolate soufflé which comes with banana ice cream. It was really good and the banana ice cream was very fresh and tasty. We'll definitely be putting this on my list to come back to when we come back to Chicago. read more

So I go to a Chicago steakhouse and order... Poké bowl? What the hell is wrong with me? OK, that list is pretty damn long... Nonetheless... Back to Chicago for work, check dinner places near the downtown JW Marriott, and Jose Andre's restaurant shows up. Why not? I walk over (dear God, I used to live in Wisconsin, but I moved to the West Coast decades ago. It is so dark and cold and blustery in Chicago!! Shiver.). Anyway, very nice place, sat at the bar for a drink or two, ordered the Poké bowl. It was really good! They probably sell one Poké bowl for every 417 steaks, but I can live with that...that's kind of the fish-to-steak ratio I live with as well. Back to steak tomorrow. read more

A friend, a self-proclaimed "foodie," invited a group of us to join him at Bazaar Meat to experience as much food and drink as possible. We all found it a very enjoyable experience. I appreciated the focus they place on both their food and their service. We started with wine and cocktails. I found their cocktails to be very well crafted and complex in flavor, even more so on subsequent sips. Because of the "Spanish flair" (my term) here, plates will be brought out as ready. This is interesting compared to more traditional steak houses, where they diligently try to bring all your entrees out at the same time. Since they pride themselves on the quality of their service and food, I'm going to dig a little deeper in things I felt deviated from that - but to me they were more like dings, and things that made me chuckle. I did work several years at a steakhouse which had a focus on service, and I spotted a couple of faux pas one server committed as we proceeded from appetizers to entrees. What amused me was that a minute later, another server, who was checking our table, made a big deal of correcting this. Also, even though meats are sliced into medallions and served family style, several of our entrees were initially delivered to the wrong people (but still easily shared). The cuts of meat were all prepared to order. I found the cuts requested medium were more flavorful than those requested medium rare. My side of Brussels Sprouts had a very interesting presentation - topped with a lime foam - which contributed more to appearance than flavor. Most sprouts rely on some carmelization for flavor - these had the flavor without relying on that. Dessert was equally impressive, my Basque cheesecake had high levels of both taste and presentation flair. I am glad to have had the dining experience here. While I would come back if invited by friends, there was nothing about the experience that screamed to me that I MUST come back. read more

we had an all-around fabulous dinner here! The space is beautiful with floor ceiling windows showing views out over the river. The staff were all welcoming and friendly, and our waiter was knowledgeable and very attentive. And of course, the food was outstanding. We all did the pre fixe meat experience. We added the Wagyu and some of the Iberian pork, both of which were fabulous. Every part of the meal was delicious with some highlights being the caviar, the Wagyu, and the main course steak. even the little touches were excellent. For example, one of our party was not drinking alcohol and without us asking, they brought her a delicious mocktail on the house. This place is stellar and we would come back in a second. read more

We took a friend to Bazaar for his birthday dinner and had an absolutely lovely time. Service was understated but top notch. For example, there were people to escort us to the bathrooms which were on another level. The food was amazing, we especially loved the caviar cones. For dessert, they brought a tray of various mini desserts - PBJ, key lime pie, peanut butter cup, and pecan pie. The birthday boy got a special tray with his that was then lit on fire to reveal Happy Birthday written on it. Then, as we were leaving, they had little bags of Garrett's Chicago Mix for each of us. Truly a delightful and special experience! read more

Went for an end of dry January celebration with two of my girlfriends last night... and we were so pleased with the service especially here! They sat us at a round booth facing the city which set a nice vibe for our evening... our server was Derek (I hope that's how to spell it) who was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient as we told him a joke every time he revisited our table. Chef Andy was also beyond hospitable - explained the dishes we received in detail and even threw in some other surprises to try, which were all delicious. We were honestly impressed with ALL the staff we interacted with: the hostess, manager, serving assistants / bussers, etc (shout out José) This place has the old rules of hospitality down pat and their restaurant week menu was the perfect amount of food + tastiness. I hope to return here again with more friends. read more

Happy to have made a reservation to Bazaar Meats in Chicago. Let me start by saying everything about this place was incredible. We were sat on time at a table in the window to overlook the river and Wacker Dr.... Fantastic view! We were greeted by Christos who welcomed us in and chatted about the menu and apologized our wait person would be there as soon as possible. That was not a problem as we were taking it all in. The room is beautiful, the ambiance and vibe were relaxing, the noise level was about how you expect it to be. We were able to talk without raising our voices. It was nice to watch the entire staff work together, they all had their specific roles although they also helped one another when needed. I had a Bazaar Old Fashioned, very flavorful with Chamomile, a nice addition to the classic recipe. Sofia our wait person came over and explained the menu, gave great recommendations! We started with the Croquetas de Pollo, they were very nice right down to the seasoning on the chicken. We also ordered the Bluefin Tuna and Fried Egg which was made table side and delicious, spice and salt level added to our taste. I opted for the Vaca Vieja, which I discovered is Jose Andres's favorite, and I can tell why! So well prepared and seasoned, it was a meatier steak which I prefer. My partner enjoyed the Bone in Ribeye which also was well prepared, good size portions as well, you can tell the do not skimp on anything. For our vegetables we chose the Glazed Tokyo Turnips, just enough crunch packed with flavor! We also went for the Brussel Sprouts with a lemon air and puree that you mixed together. You can see the lemon air in the photos. Dessert time! We had the Honey Pound Cake, which sounds simple enough but they brought it to another level with the addition of a lemon meringue crunch and the chestnut ice cream! From arriving to the host stand to ending our dining experience, I cannot recommend this place enough. Jose Andres is a force in the restaurant field and a trip to Bazaar Meats will give you many reasons why! (On a side note, this was not enhanced by Chat GPT or any other Ai.. ) read more

We stopped by Bazaar Meat for the very first time on a recent visit to Chicago. We're no stranger to Jose, Andres concepts, and have eaten downstairs at Bar Mar several times in the past. All of the food that we had was great. The standouts being the Jamon Iberico and the tableside steak tartare preparation. We were however, disappointed that the cotton candy machine for the foie Gras was broken. The wine selection was a little bit strange for a Jose Andres restaurant. We found that it had deep variety in a couple of specific places, but didn't have quite the same exposure to more unique Spanish wines as other concepts. That said if you're looking for a solid French wine you'll probably find it here. I found the ambience of the restaurant dark and moody. It was a little bit noisy at times as well. The service was a little bit mixed. We went long stretches without interacting with our waitress, and it took about 30 minutes for the check to arrive at the end of the meal. At one point (at our waitresses suggestion) we requested to speak to the sommelier and it took the better part of 30 minutes for him to arrive at our table - well after our first food had already arrived. Would probably recommend this to someone who hasn't tried it, but not sure this will get a repeat visit from us. read more

TLDR: This place always rocks my socks off! From the oxtail croquettes to the perfectly cooked ribeyes, nothing here falls short. The jamon guy wasn't there when we returned in May, though. Unfortunately, our server said he'll be back in several months once his visa is renewed. I promise you won't regret the amazing level of jamon cutting. I kid you not--it is precise like a machine! The service is always impeccable, and their culinary/mixology creativity knows no end. This is definitely one of our favorite "special occasion" restaurants! read more

This was my first visit at Bazaar Meat, and it was absolutely fantastic. The dining room is absolutely beautiful. The food and service were both outstanding. Ruslan was our server and he did a great job, he was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the menu and food.

Brunch Experience by Bilt! A special brunch was organized for Bilt members at Bazaar Meats! Though being an experience focused on people who enjoy a variety of meats, the chef did accommodate us and send us a salad which was phenomenal. The ambience of the place is amazing located right above the famous bar mar on the banks of the Chicago river. The parking can be tight as only a few spots are available right outside the building on the street. The espresso martini and old fashioned were both nicely done! The dessert platter was average and could have been better. As a vegetarian I wouldn't go to this place as 99% of the menu as the name suggests consist of meat dishes. The bar mar on the lower floor though is the place to go and enjoy cocktails! read more

Went here last night for the Restaurant week menu. It was an amazing evening, started with some complimentary sparkling wine and an exquisite amuse bouche. Followed by 3 appetizer tastes - mini salmon cone, chicken croquettes and a caprese salad on a spoon. Loved having a chance for a bite of the three different appetizers - all bursting with flavor!We had a coffee rubbed steak with amazing potatoes and peppers. (They told us potatoes were half potato and half butter - so good). Finished with a key lime tart. We were seated next to a window and the service was exemplary. Received a little to go bag of popcorn on the way out. Highly recommend - will be back!! read more

Holy shhhhhh. Fantastic. Amazing. THE STEAK!!!!! $90 but it definitely tasted like it. Paired it with the buttery potatoes and it was the best match and the best side to pick. Served water and bubbles immediately, service was great. Always kept my water glass full, which I love about a restaurant. The location right on the river, so very beautiful and fancy on the inside.

Almost a 5 star rating but you have take the elevator down to LL to use restroom and that was really annoying - it's a whole trip prob 15 min away from the table. Outside of that, the food is absolutely 5 stars. The experience was almost indescribable. From the caviar cones, to the cotton candy thing (lol) to the amazing steak. The drinks were also fantastic. We tried probably 60% of the menu and loved every single thing. I'm a big food critic and can't find a single thing I would change about the foods we tried.
