“Restaurant week, restaurants slammed and at 8pm on a Saturday our table was never empty.”
Restaurant week, restaurants slammed and at 8pm on a Saturday our table was never empty. Complimentary appetizers, textbook Manhattans all with a view of the river. We got the filet and the bone in ribeye, although they no longer have the Chicago cut (at half the price of the next available bone in ribeye). The steak tartare was phenomenal. Had a great time.

Went for restaurant week last weekend… the food was definitely worth the price (not often you see restaurants offering steak without extra fee during RW and wagyu steak at that!) we loved having all of the little bites ahead of the meal. We added a few extras as well like the Philly cheesesteak (interesting take on the staple but a little too “airy”) caviar cone and side of carrots. The RW week menu was definitely worth the $60. We also ordered the French onion soup as a recommendation from the server, it was interesting but literally 2 sips for $12 would pass next time. Server didn’t even mention RW menu or offer it, which we thought was odd. We had to physically ask for it. The 5 stars definitely comes from the service of the host stand. The Greek manager went above and beyond to celebrate our friends birthday. He made our night so special! He was the best

“We had an absolutely unforgettable experience at Bazaar Meats on New Year’s Eve.”
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience at Bazaar Meats on New Year’s Eve. From the moment we arrived, the service was truly outstanding. Our server, Rusian K, was exceptional—knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely warm. He guided us through the menu with great insight, made thoughtful recommendations, and ensured every detail of our meal was perfect without ever feeling intrusive. His interactions made the evening feel special and effortless. Manager Mark also deserves high praise. He was welcoming, present, and clearly invested in creating an exceptional guest experience. It was evident that the entire team was well-led and deeply committed to hospitality. The food, as expected, was phenomenal—beautifully prepared, bold in flavor, and memorable from start to finish. Every course felt intentional and indulgent, making it the perfect place to celebrate such a special night. We were seated in a wonderful booth with a great view of the windows, which allowed us to watch the Chicago fireworks as we rang in the New Year. It added a magical touch to an already incredible evening. Between the outstanding service, unforgettable food, and perfect setting, this New Year’s Eve at Bazaar Meats is one we will remember for a long time. Highly recommend. P.s. Get the wagyu!

“The service here was very, very good.”
The service here was very, very good. I enjoyed the banter with our main server, and the manager was willing to listen to our woes of an over-priced dinner the night before. The receptionists were also friendly and welcoming. The Onion Soup and the “Philly Cheesesteak” were two innovative dishes that I enjoyed the most. The presentation was novel, and the ingredients built on top of each other with synergy. The octopus and the steak were plainly, no-notes delicious with nothing to hide or hinder the nature flavor of the meat.

“Start to finish - Bizaar Meat provides a great dining experience.”
Start to finish - Bizaar Meat provides a great dining experience. The entire staff is dedicated to making your meal unforgettable. Our waiter Paula provided great suggestions & the Sommelier Justin selected the perfect Spanish wine for our group. Everything was delicious- but the 1/4 suckling pig was FN amazing. You will dream about this food well after the event. Exquisito!!

First Rate! We enjoyed dinner at the restaurant prior to the opera and we were delighted. This area of Chicago needed a place like Bazaar Meat. 1st floor is Bar Mar. We did not stop there but it looked very inviting. It’s a large, open, elegant space which seems to have food and drinks 2nd floor is Bazaar Meat - another elegant space that is both lively and welcoming. Parts of the ceiling are paneled with cork which helps to control the sound. Our waiter was amazing - one of the best I’ve had in 50+ years of fine dining. For dinner we shared several small plates. This time we passed on the steaks and we will go back for that as the meat selection looked incredible There is valet parking and the restaurant closes at 11pm. So, you would have the option to valet at Bazaar Meat, have a great dinner, enjoy the opera, and then return for your car. Maybe easier than valet at the opera.

“This was truly one of the most incredible dining experiences I’ve had in a long time.”
This was truly one of the most incredible dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment you walk in, you’re warmly greeted by a friendly host who takes your coat and guides you to your table. Our waitress was exceptionally knowledgeable about the menu, especially the meats and pairings, and I highly recommend asking for her suggestions. She really knew her stuff. Throughout the evening, we were treated to a series of special bites from the kitchen, each one somehow better than the last. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious, and every recommendation from our waitress was spot-on. We were also celebrating my husband’s birthday, and the staff went above and beyond surprising him with a special plate and a custom cocktail that the Restaurant Manager Martin crafted at our table! It was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch. This restaurant is an absolute must visit. I can’t recommend it highly enough, and we’ll definitely be coming back.

“We chose Bazaar Meat to celebrate our anniversary and decided to go with the Bazaar Meat Experience tasting menu.”
We chose Bazaar Meat to celebrate our anniversary and decided to go with the Bazaar Meat Experience tasting menu. Every course was excellent, and our server was incredibly kind and genuinely happy to celebrate with us. Both guests need to select the same tasting menu, which we didn’t mind at all. I appreciated that with each course, the server gave a brief description and suggested the best way to enjoy it. Every portion was perfectly sized. By the end, we felt completely satisfied without being overwhelmed.

“Every bite was delicious.”
Every bite was delicious. From the pb&j foie gras to the steak. Whipped potatoes are a must. But the bomb was the goat cheese cake for dessert. WOW! I can't forget to give the staff a huge shout out, they were ALL amazing.

“Atmosphere was wonderful and experience was exciting start to finish.”
Atmosphere was wonderful and experience was exciting start to finish. Christos was extremely accommodating despite a reservation error on my end. I had the chicken and my husband had the squid. The patatas bravas are a nice side dish if you order a smaller main dish. Wine, mini appetizer, and sorbet were a surprising addition. One of the top meals we’ve ever had.
