Bouchon Bakery with the foie gras dog biscuits isn't enough?

Zaitinya is loud, but I never found the upstairs area loud in Atlantico, and no where near as loud as the Bazaar -- The Bazaar is loud from house music and people yelling over it, not just from chatty diners. And Minibar's molgas is a main attraction of the Bazaar, with touches of nicely prepared tapas as found at Atlantico or Jaleo, hence the rec of just going to DC and trying all his restaurants.
