Great experience at Bazaar Meat. We did the tasting menu and really enjoyed everything, with the exception of the "cotton candy". The main reason we're deducting points for the cotton candy is because, after we had already requested them to slow down the courses a bit, they still ended up stacking two courses, and by the time we finished the previous course, half the cotton candy had melted into the underlying ingredients, so the thrill was lost. Not a huge deal, but it was literally the only downside we experienced. The tableside cesar was great, the Iberico was absolutely amazing, the caviar cones and the croquetas were all FANTASTIC. Absolutely recommend checking the place out. Oh, and I cant forget, the space itself is gorgeous 😍. Really really had a great evening.
Had dinner here last night and it was just an incredible experience. We started with the chicken croquettes, which were juicy and delicious but perfectly crispy on the outside. My daughter had the Denver steak, cooked and sliced to perfection. I had the Philly cheesesteak, Neptune’s pillow, and foie gras cotton candy. Each dish was such a nice surprise and full of delicious flavors. Got the Keylime beach for dessert and it was so innovative. The ambience was incredible, it’s a beautiful location. The staff was helpful, knowledgeable, and perfectly attentive. Jose Andres never disappoints!

Great food, fantastic ambiance, and exceptional service. The staff is knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely friendly a refreshing change from what you often find at restaurants today.
I had the steak with foie gras, and it was outstanding. If you're dining here, I highly recommend ordering one of their meat dishes. The quality of the cuts is exceptional, and every dish is prepared with great attention to detail.
The by-the-glass wine selection is somewhat limited, but the bottle list is extensive, featuring an impressive collection of high-end wines. The bar is also excellent, and the bartender was knowledgeable and made the experience even better.
Overall, I would absolutely return and likely will. Just be prepared to pay for the experience, but the pricing is justified by the outstanding food, attentive service, and refined atmosphere. It's one of those places where the quality matches the cost.

Bazaar Meat by José Andrés, inside The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad, feels like a modern steakhouse reimagined through a more playful, theatrical lens. From the moment you walk in, there’s a sense that dinner here is meant to be experienced, not just ordered.
The menu leans into large-format, wood-fired meats alongside luxurious, unexpected small plates. Dishes like José’s Taco, layered with jamón ibérico and caviar, or the cotton candy foie gras, capture that balance of indulgence and whimsy. Even something like the A5 “Philly cheesesteak” feels elevated but still rooted in familiarity.
The Ultimate Tasting Menu brings it all together, moving from composed bites to the fire-roasted ribeye chuleton, with moments like a tableside Caesar and a playful key lime dessert that keep the meal feeling dynamic from start to finish. I would highly recommend going this route. It’s the best way to experience the full range of the kitchen and settle into the rhythm of the meal.
It’s an ideal spot for a special night out, whether with a date, friends, or even family. Rich, bold flavors meet moments of surprise, all within a space that feels polished but never too serious. It’s a steakhouse that invites you to lean in, stay curious, and enjoy the experience.
