Bazaar Meat By José Andrés - Chicago

Bazaar Meat has taken our top spot for steaks, a deserving title for such a perfect restaurant.Everything was wonderful here, from the people, food, atmosphere, location (view), and temperature. I feel that things as simple as having matching plates, glasses, and utensils help build the perfect environment—an environment that is flexible for you and your occasion.Quick glance bullet points:The food is amazing, especially the Wagyu meats.The food was perfectly spaced out.The view is phonomonal.Great staff; everyone working here was very personable.Many small dish itemsThe foodFood at Bazaar Meat is mostly steakhouse style, although a few items are Spanish or have Spanish twists on them. Of course, the steaks are wonderful, both because it is a steak house and because of the price tag, but the rest of the menu is a must-try as well.The serviceAbsolutely wonderful service from runners to waiters and waitresses; everyone was wonderful and warm. Just Amazing!The atmosphereThis is where I can 't give enough compliments for the work put into this restaurant. The ceiling is made of cork, mixed with the thin red shell like lights; it 's simply amazing in contrasting and balancing. The custom light fixtures go perfectly with the chairs, couch, tables, plants, and dishes; everything is just right. We went to celebrate a birthday; the tasting menu said happy birthday on top while others didn 't. Simple yet great touch.I would recommend you try or ask about:-Caviar conesThese are well-sized and balanced bites—a nice smooth, crunchy bite with caviar and a horseradish crème to balance the taste.-Jose 's tacoI would highly recommend you try these, but first ask your waiter or waitress about what they actually are. These “tacos” are a very interesting and delicious approach to a taco, not a hard or soft shell style.-Philly cheesesteakLike the tacos, these are not a traditional Philly cheesesteak. This one is a must-try. I recommend you ask your waiter or waitress about what they are.Maine lobster bisqueThis lobster bisque has ruined all others for me; nothing has compared to this. The bisque is perfectly textured, with a large piece of lobster inside (many pieces). This was one of, if not the best, soup or barbecue I 've ever had and/or my family has had.The classic tartaresDelicious tartare; recommend.Overall, I can 't get enough of Jose Andres’s food, and this restaurant is surely no exception. Absolutely amazingParking: We had no problem with the valet. From Bazaar meats website: Valet service is available Tuesday through Friday starting at 4 PM and Saturday starting at 2:30 PM. There is no valet on Sunday and Monday.

Our server was absolutely fantastic however considering the price for our meal and celebrating an occasion it was disappointing we had to wait 20 minutes for a table to be ready when arriving at our reservation time. This resulted in us rushing through dinner since we had plans after dinner.

Excellent dinner, excellent atmosphere, fast service, is expensive but the truth the food and the place well worth it, highly recommended restaurant .... You have to be prepared for an average ticket without taking alcohol of 130 dlls per person

We tried this in a whim because it was close to the opera house. We will definitely visit again when we have more time to savor and enjoy. The meat was outstanding, the drinks were really nice, and the vegetables were a surprise delight (try the carrots! . We will definitely be back.

We went for valentine’s day and were so excited to be there. our server gave us a flower arrangement so that was sweet. the menu is complicated but she helped us through it by making some great recommendations. i will say that the steak cost $140 (it was like $90 per unit but you didn’t know how large it would be). all of their steaks are aged, though, so that is unique. they have lots of japanese options as well. we LOVED their little salad bites — could have ordered two of those. the fried potatoes were also just amazing. and of course you have to get their spun olives.
