| - I went to Bazaar with a group of friends last night, and there were definitely some highs and lows in our experience.
Highs:
+ I was able to make a reservation for 6 people at 7:30 on a Saturday night just a few hours before 7:30.
+ The main courses were all really great. I had the being human salad, which was flavorful and very filling. I'm not used to that with most vegetarian salads. Friends ordered the prosciutto and arugula pizza, and they raved about it.
+ The mango mojito was really refreshing
+ The coconut ice cream was delicious
Lows:
- As other reviewers have mentioned, the "house made guacamole" definitely didn't taste or look house made. Very unimpressed. The salsa was ok, but was mostly liquid, without a lot of chunky tomatoes or onions. Not great.
- We were waiting for the sixth person in our group to arrive, but had ordered the chips and guac and salsa to snack on. While we were waiting, the server just came over and said "Ok, so are you ready to order mains yet?" I realize it probably sounded harsher than he intended, but it just felt like we were being rushed.
- While the coconut ice cream was definitely delicious, it was also ridiculously expensive. The ice cream by itself isn't on the menu as a dessert option, so shame on me for not asking the price, but when I asked for a scoop of coconut with a scoop of chocolate, I was charged $9. Nearly 10 bucks for two scoops of ice cream is just insane to me. I could have gotten a flourless chocolate torte with a scoop of ice cream for $6.
- To follow up on the point above, the menu lists the price of the torte at $6, but when my friends got the bill, they were charged $8. The server corrected the error, but just something to watch for.
Overall, the food was good, so I will go back for dinner. However, I'll skip the guac and the overpriced ice cream next time around.
