The staff was friendly, food was delicious, and prices were reasonable priced.When asked for a fun non-alcoholic drink, the bartender made a drink on the fly of raspberry, blood orange, sprite, simple syrup. And lemon. It was amazing.

The Mac and cheese was amazing!! The only reason I gave two stars is because of the service. Took over an hour and a half to get our food! The bartender was constantly feeling up his girlfriend, there was only one waiter, and one cook. She did a good job for how busy it was, but only checked on us once or twice over the hour and a half that we were waiting. It was a Friday night, you would’ve expected more people to be working. Was excited to try this place and if the service wouldn’t have been so bad I would’ve gone back. Probably won’t now.

The filet and tri-tip was excellent. Only one person for a room full of peopleBut she was working her butt off, most of the reviews probably lack empathy for wait staff in general but in my books she was attentive and made our anniversary a fantastic one. Thank you!

Not a good experience. First red flag- no other diners at 7. 30 on Friday night before Christmas. They “ were out” of the wine we ordered, then they “were out” of Steaks. Settled on Pork which was undercooked,sent it back, it came back still undercooked. We were then lectured by the Chef that the parasite that made people sick in Pork had been eradicated 30 years ago. I don’t think so!

Went here for an amazing night with a pretty girl. The staff was friendly, food was delicious, and prices were not sky high. I'll be returning ?

I won't go back.We had reservations for a show at the Elsinore so I made reservations at Bari for two hours before showtime, thinking that would be plenty of time, even if there were hiccups. That didn't work out. Drinks and appetizer went fine, but after 45 minutes, we were told there were "issues in the kitchen" and our food would be another 45 minutes. Assuming the food actually came out when promised, that would put us at getting our meal just as the doors were opening for the show. We decided to just go somewhere else so we could make sure we got a chance to eat. I'd had a couple mediocre experiences at Bari in the past, but my husband liked it and my dad asked about it so I figured I'd give it another shot. That was a mistake. I'm done.If you're looking for a nice meal before the show I highly recommend Epilogue or Davinci Ristorante, which are also just next door to the theater.

This place failed my expectations at every level. We ordered food and it took one hour to get to us. I ordered a cosmopolitan and that took 30 minutes to get to me. The food that got to us was not good. Gordon Ramsey himself needs to come and help this place. This place needs Jesus himself. If you want entertainment come here for a dinner shift and slowly just watch everyone walk out dissatisfied.

Very small portions, food was just warm, server acted like we were an inconvenient to her. Not sure how they got a 4.2 rating.

We had the most outstanding evening with Lynsey. We had left the Ballet looking for a place to eat and stumbled upon this place and so thankful we did. Best steak we ever had!! I grew up raising cattle and this chef knew what he was doing. The appetizer we had was outstanding as well. The food was good, the service was amazing and the atmosphere was delightful. We will be back. Thank you Bari!!
