Overall, the service, location and ambience were great. The food was also good, but I ordered Lemon Basil Chicken and there was no basil to be found anywhere near my chicken. It tasted like a lemon mustard sauce. I am not fond of mustard and would not have ordered the dish had it been listed as an ingredient on the menu. I ate some of it, but i was disappointed that it was not what I ordered.
Lovely lunch w friends, good food and service. It was a beautiful day to be outside on their deck, added to the afternoon.
This restaurant is my summer favorite. Awesome staff, awesome food and a wonderful view at Pilots Point Marina. Absolutely the best !
We had dinner at Bacari Social last night, and while there were a few highlights, overall the experience was underwhelming. On the positive side, the crabcakes were tasty, the scallops were decently cooked, and our waitress was genuinely kind and attentive. The wine list was fine, and the cocktails were serviceable—though one had to be remade after arriving so smoky it was nearly undrinkable. Unfortunately, the rest of the food fell short. The lobster roll didn't taste particularly fresh, the shrimp scampi had absolutely no flavor (missing any trace of garlic, spice, or seasoning), and the risotto accompanying the scallops was bland enough to require a heavy hand with salt just to get by. Even the kids' grilled cheese somehow managed to be both dry and gooey at the same time. The atmosphere also left something to be desired. While the space tries for a stylish vibe, details like cobwebs in the corners, dusty décor, and hard wooden benches undercut the impression. In short, while we appreciated the service and a couple of the dishes, the execution, freshness, and attention to detail didn't match expectations. With a bit more polish in both the kitchen and the dining room, Bacari Social could be much stronger, but for now it feels more amateurish than elevated.
What a beautiful place. We ate outside on the deck enjoying the water view. The food was phenomenal! I ordered the fish and chips while my wife ordered the swordfish sandwich. Both meals were cooked to perfection.....in fact, I actually ate all my cole slaw, which was a first. The service was top notch, and our waitress was both pleasant and efficient. I would definitely go back here

Great location on the deck. Honest feedback- Apps were very good (wings, coconut shrimp, and calamari were very good).The protein in all dinners except the burgers were an issue. Swordfish and salmon were overcooked/dry. Scallops (though a popular dish there) were extremely salty and had an aftertaste. Server who was very pleasant spoke to the kitchen, and they offered to re-fire all the proteins. Appreciated the offer. That helped, but we ended up taking them home due to timing. The lobster risotto, rice pilaf and asparagus were very good. The week before all of our dinners were good.
always busy so plan ahead. The view is amazing, but the food matches as well. there isn't anything i haven't tried that wasn't delicious. The buffalo Brussel sprouts are a must have when your there. Cocktails are just as good!

Had a fabulous time, great service, delicious food, friendly and beautiful atmosphere. Will definitely return!
The food was horrible - the chef wouldn't make any accommodations other than eventually a dietary restriction. My friends special was horrible - she sent back part of the meal because it was burnt and when they substituted what was burnt it was frozen ! The house special! The wine was not explained to me and I thought I was getting a glass when they claimed I got a double glass - which I did not. I got two half glasses but was charged twice . Fortunately they subtracted the frozen inedible meal & credited me for the wine I did not have. I was there last year & the food was fabulous- new menu and chef this year & they will never see me or many people I know again.
If there were 6 stars, this place would get it from me.First time visit, Just getting lunch with a friend I have known for 30 years, but we haven’t seen each other in a very long time. Very clean, acoustic band outside on a lovely patio, Our server Cassie, was fabulous and knowledgeable too. A zero proof cocktail menu, vegetarian selections and even a couple vegan options! The salmon entree was perfect and we ordered a special Mediterranean appetizer with falafel and fresh pita that was light and delicious. Everything we ate and drank was honestly fantastic. I am so glad we found this gem, we will definitely be back.

We always sit outside to watch the boaters arriving. The scallops were enormous and fabulous. Lots of lobster in the risotto.
We love everything about this restaurant. Service food and beverages and location perfect. Some of the best seafood entrees around. Apps excellent and love the choice of mocktails as well as wine selection. We bought guests and they loved it. Thank you. Joan and Peter C

Lovely location overlooking lots of beautiful boats. Unfortunately, live music was SO loud we couldn't have any conversation. Food was fine and nice selection of wines by the glass, including Caymus.
