Bacari is my favorite restaurant. The food is fantastic. Service is stellar. My husband and I crave the food there. There are so many choices and so hard to decide as we usually want it all. Our favorite dishes are lamb with hummus, chicken sliders, falafel and pork belly. For desert the Malabi was unexpectedly delicious. Drinks were also lovely. As always we left with our bellies full and very very content. Can't wait to try the Culver city location.

I had the best time here! I asked my server, Ferris what he recommended and he helped me pick out a perfect meal. I had the watermelon salad (incredible), the sliders, and the lamb humus. Everything was exceptional.

I will recommend this specific location again and again. Our server was wonderful and even took the extra step to surprise us with a free dessert to celebrate a birthday. The food was excellent and the happy hour is worth the hype.

Josiah was our waiter and was above & beyond outstanding. He made sure our orders were correct and that our meal was to satisfaction. He offered if it wasn't then he'd make sure it was fixed. He was extremely friendly bc of him I'd return if I was back in town. The menu is different than I'm used to. Its basic one item, no sides. This makes it a Lil more pricey than normal but the food was really delicious. I had the sea bass and Brussel sprouts. I don't even like Brussel sprouts and they were really fantastic. Atmosphere outside had a ambiance was fantastic. Heaters available. All the staff that I interacted with were very pleasant. This was my first time here and I live in North Carolina. I would highly recommend for a friends night out, eating solo or looking for a date night spot.

Bacari doesn’t disappoint! The variety on the menu allows us to sample things we didn’t get to try at other locations.

We were visiting CA and decided to try this restaurant. What a great decision! The food was so delicious -- blending flavors together with what tasted to be farm-to-table ingredients. I had a very tasty ginger mocktail with my meal. Our waitress/bartender was so friendly and provided great service. I enjoyed our meal very much.

Very disappointed with my visit. The salmon had an unpleasant, not fresh smell, which made it inedible. Presentation of the dishes was sloppy – served on the plate as if in a cheap diner, not a restaurant that claims to offer quality dining. Definitely not worth the price or the reputation.

Had a great meal with a client team. The small plates were perfect for sharing which provided a taste of many dishes. This allowed me to taste dishes that I would normally not order. The burrata salad was so good, I could have had that for my meal. The gluten free chocolate cake was wonderful as well.
I recently visited Bacardi GCL for dinner with another mom and our kids. While the food and service were excellent, the evening took an unexpectedly awkward turn due to my companion’s behavior. There was a small mix-up with an order — the staff politely asked her if she wanted the item, she declined twice, so they offered it to the table behind us. She then became upset, claiming it should have been hers. The staff stayed calm, professional, and kind throughout the situation, even though it created tension for everyone nearby. I’m sorry I didn’t speak up in the moment — I was frozen, wanted to hide, and honestly have since blocked her. I still feel bad for the other table, but I truly appreciate how well the Bacardi GCL staff managed a tricky and uncomfortable moment.

I visited Bacari for the first time this week. I wanted to try the place out because of their wine and tapas menus. The bartender, Sunny, was lovely and attentive. I had a house red wine, the caprese, and Mediterranean street corn. The wine and caprese were great, but I thought the corn was overpowered by the feta and shallots. But my low score for Bacari comes from when a new bartender or manager arrived and started to get things off high bar shelves. Though I'd seen him use a proper ladder just minutes before, now I was watching him stand on the edge of the sanitation sinks with his very dirty sneakers to reach things off of high shelves. Disgusting. These sinks are required by the Health Dept. and are one of the steps in preventing food-borne illness. When he was back on the ground and asked how I was doing, I said as a customer, it was disappointing to see him get up on the sanitation sinks with his dirty shoes. He apologized and wiped it down a few minutes later. As a customer, my impression is that if they'll do this in front of a customer (and clearly not the first time), what corners are they cutting in the kitchen and elsewhere? I stopped eating the food I had left in front of me, got the bill from Sunny, and left. I doubt I will be back.
