My wife & I went 11/03/09, had the anniv tasting without wine. Food was rushed in haphazard order, servers didn't know what was missing. 3 kinds of jamon listed on menu, was only served Serrano, no Iberico. After pointing it out, was promised will be fixed, but ended up being ignored. Half the menu was great, half was a miss. The Caviar Cone, Cheesesteak, Scallops with Romesco, Bunuelos, and Warm Chocolate Mousse with Pear Sorbet were very good.

Our group of six thoroughly enjoyed the Bazaar experience as we sharee many dishes (although we had to order double on smaller dishes). We opted to not go with the tasting menu but trusted our excellent server to guide us through the process, ordering in clusters (vs. all at once in the beginning). Memoriable dishes:olives, fois gras cotton candy. Dessert and coffee was excellent. Decor was over the top and added to the overall experience.

Quite an experience. The olives were amazing but several of the other highly touted specialties (cheesesteak, hangar steak) were only so so. Recommended for an experience but not for a meal.

The 4 of us had dinner on a Saturday evening. Though an early reservation, we ahd to wait and wait. Decor is very L.A., very trendy. We ordered the Chef's tasting menu...Big error...Nothing interesting was on that menu. Food was inventive, caviar cones, tomato and watermelon on a skewer, but nothing exceptional. The service was pretentious and obnoxious and the changing room for desserts was really unnecessary. We will not go back.
