Brunch at Bacari was beyond delicious! Each dish we ordered kept getting better and better. It ended up being pricey but so worth it.

While our experience at the restaurant was generally positive, there were notable instances that detracted from our overall enjoyment. We made a reservation for Friday evening at 8:45 specifically to coincide with the live entertainment advertised. However, upon arrival, we were informed that the entertainment had been canceled due to a private event booking in the front room. Consequently, we were asked to wait for 15 to 30 minutes before being seated, but our actual wait time extended to 40 minutes.As someone familiar with the hospitality industry, I expect a level of communication that respects the customer's time and preferences. Ideally, advance notice of the entertainment cancellation would have allowed us to reconsider our reservation or make alternative plans. Moreover, given the extended wait period, a gesture such as offering complimentary drinks would have been appropriate to mitigate any inconvenience experienced by waiting guests.Upon finally being seated, our party of seven was served only two tapas-style burrata salads, which, while possibly intended as a gesture of goodwill, was inadequate for a group of our size. While we appreciate such gestures, it's essential for them to be proportionate to the party's size to avoid unintentional disappointment.Despite these initial setbacks, the culinary offerings at the restaurant were commendable. Highlights included the delectable Mussels and the Asian Pear Brie Pizza, both of which received high praise from our group. The cocktails were also a standout feature, although there was a lapse in communication regarding the last call, resulting in an unexpected end to our evening's libations.As our meal concluded, we were informed that complimentary desserts would be provided. Regrettably, the gesture fell short as only two servings of bread pudding were offered for a group of seven, and further dessert orders were declined due to the kitchen's closure. While the service staff remained warm and friendly throughout, there was a missed opportunity to inquire about additional orders before the kitchen and bar were closed for the evening.Unfortunately, the absence of managerial presence throughout our dining experience was notable. A simple acknowledgment or apology for the inconveniences encountered at the outset of our evening would have demonstrated a commitment to customer satisfaction.In summary, while the restaurant boasts excellent cuisine and ambiance, there is a clear need for improved training and communication within the management team to ensure a consistently exceptional dining experience for all patrons.

Excellent food and cooking! Large menu, including a lot of option for vegetarian/kosher diet. The outdoor seating was nice and equipped with heaters. Price was fair. The service was a bit long but we went on a Sunday night, so understandable. We will going back for sure!

Always a fun experience at bacari, the bartenders are so attentive and provide quick service. Shani has always made my visits memorable, such a joyful presence. The ambiance is cozy, and the staff is very friendly, making you feel at home.

My Asian pear and brie pizza was soggy, little gem salad was over dressed . We ordered Brussel sprouts which they forgot to bring and then charged us for 2 orders. I asked for tequila reposado and they brought me silver. Tables don't really accommodate for the tapas concept of 2-3 plates per person. The staff are friendly and the location is very charming.

Twice in the last month, the order received was missing half of the order. The food just sat there until I finally got through to someone that ubered the rest of the food. Food is good when you get it, if you get it.
Loved the concept of small plates. Flavorful and Delicious. Seating outside was perfect for a night in the valley. Luke was tentative and thoughtful when coursing out our plates. We will definitely be back.
Its location is very quaint with plentiful outdoor seating. The food was delicious, service very good. The concept is tapas like, so you order multiple dishes. There is a charge for valet parking.

This is one of my fav restaurants and I’m so happy they added this location. I love their menu. They have tons of variety and they really care for people who may have dietary restrictions. Also the cocktails, service, and staff are always great! It’s definitely a staple in my rotation when going out especially because the atmosphere is so cute.
