- AAlexisGoldWashington, D.C. Area •16 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI always have the best experience at any restaurant by José Andrés. My husband and I have been here many times when it was just Bazaar and really like the new additions with the meat/steak focus. We did the more expensive tasting menu, which was out of this world. I don't eat a lot of seafood and they were extremely accommodating to make it work. Our server, Kitty was truly a gem! Our dinner ended up being about 4 hours long of amazing cocktails (my husband did the wine pairing instead which he noted was stellar), food, theatrics and just amazing vibes of the space. Love, love, love this place - can't say enough good things!More infoBazaar Meat by José Andrés - DC$$$$• Spanish• Penn Quarter•4.6
- HHappySan Francisco Bay Area •10 reviews4.0Dined 5 days agoFriendly staff (and helpful). Great food. A lovely evening & our friends were so impressed with our choice! I wish the music was a bit more appropriate to Spain/North Africa? (Check out lounge: Morocco, Cairo, Barcelona, for example.) OR, lots of gypsy jazz (Django Reinhardt)! And perhaps turn the volume down a bit. One of our friends was having trouble hearing. Brandon rocks!More infoGypsy Kitchen - DC$$$$• Spanish• Logan Circle•4.5
