“As we walked through the narrow, dark red brick tunnel from the sidewalk to the restaurant, I felt like we were in a for a treat at Bacari. The sea bass and schnitzel were delicious and the sides of broccoli and mac’n’cheese were perfect complements. The desserts were sublime. Sitting on the patio provided the perfect ambiance. The service was friendly and attentive.”
“Bacari came highly recommended, and it did not disappoint! The food is tapas-style. They recommend 2-3 plates per person, though my group of 5 were quite satisfied with 7 options. I highly recommend the lamb hummus, ricotta and beet gnocchi, sea bass, shrimp ceviche, and Asian pear and Brie pizza. Their drink selection is good, and I really enjoyed the bacari beer. The servers were wonderful! They have valet parking which is helpful. The space itself is cute but on the smaller side. We came during graduation weekend so they were definitely busy! I would recommend making a reservation early.”
“Everything on the menu is good, loud and busy, but beautiful place. Ideal for big gatherings, or casual dates. Has a bar, also good for restraint seating. We went at night, I’ve also been during the day here. I highly suggest this spot over the Beverly Hills locations. The outside and inside in this establishment is beautiful and cozy. Entrance is great. Ideal for the second or third date. 2 people 5 orders Brussel sprouts, corn, stuffed mushrooms, snitzchel, and lamb/chicken cigars and some custom drinks. Everything was really good. Fairly prices. Server was really nice and professional, unfortunately I did not catch her name.”
“Bacari was a wonderful time to go for brunch. We had the hummus plate with gluten-free bread and chilaquiles with some mimosas. They have a gluten-free dedicated menu and were upfront in being able to make accommodations for anyone with allergy or celiac needs. The hummus plate with gluten-free bread was my personal favorite. Excellent service as well. When we entered, as we were being seated, our server even pointed out where the restrooms and bar were. I’ve never had a server before point out the directions to the restrooms and other parts of the restaurant, it was like entering someone’s home and being hosted. I shared that compliment to the manager who also helped us with drinks. Wonderful place and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a gluten-free restaurant with awesome service.”
“We've been here a few times and decided to come here for a Birthday dinner on 12/29 and it was unfortunately a very frustrating experience. We had multiple items that we ordered just never come to the table, no one came to our table to help us for 20 minutes after sitting down, and multiple things were just never followed up on. Eventually, we just wanted to leave. I'm assuming they must have been short staffed, given they weren't that busy on a Monday. We only come to a nice restaurant like this a few times a year on special occasions, so it was just really disappointing, especially after enjoying the food and our previous visits. I don't see myself coming back here for a while, and if I do, I would try one of their other locations.”
