I've been to Boqueria twice in two weeks and had wonderful dishes that were full of flavor! You can't go wrong with anything. Boqueria is my new place for Spanish tapas!

Incredible. The suckling pig and puréed potatoes were beyond amazing. Service seriously good. I just did Asador BASTIAN three weeks ago and was blown away. Bazaar is on par with Asador.

Once you get past the fear that you might be in the wrong place (I almost didn't get out of my Uber, was afraid I was just in an alley, had to check the address...and then saw "Ada Street" painted on the door) you walk through a long, dark hall into a funky, cozy room with a plethora of old records, music on vinyl, a great vibe, a good long bar (apparently available only by reservation), and a really nice dining experience. I arrived early and had their version of a black manhattan, one of several on the cocktail list (with some fun names) on the front page of the menu. Along the way we tried a couple of others; all interesting. Our server was wonderful, charming, personable, and attentive throughout the meal. She explained the menu -- primarily small plates meant to be shared as is often standard. We worked through a couple of small plates (Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, steak tartare) and one main (the whole branzino) and several glasses of wine and had a lovely and deliberately slow-played meal (we only ordered a bit at a time). Room is buzzy bordering on loud, a little cramped, but that works for the space and the style of the place. My only modest disappointment was that there were only two white and two red wines available by the glass. I didn't love any of them, but it didn't detract from the experience much. Nice and interesting, if not huge, list by the bottle. Great for a date or a night out with friends. Would absolutely come back, and recommend very highly.

Celebrated my husband’s birthday last night and had the best time. Everything we ordered (and we ordered a lot) was delicious, and the service was amazing. We loved this restaurant and can’t wait to go back. 10/10

My husband and I love any time we can make it out to this location. Went on a last minute date night and the total attention to service by server, Daisy, definitely made the experience. She checked in often and made some incredible suggestions on items we never tried before. She was friendly and dedicated and it showed. The host was also friendly and helpful.
