Overall, I thought the food was good, and prices were fair. Unfortunately, the service was mixed, and while our server was pleasant, there were too many mistakes. Wrong food to one of us despite my friend being very specific, and she read back the order. Another pasta dish was way overcooked despite being told al dente. Our appy was supposed to be shrimp, crab, and lobster, but it came without the shrimp. While these may have been kitchen mistakes, the server is ultimately responsible for making sure our order is correct, not the runner. And there was more, spoke to the manager and he did the right thing taking off for one dinner and one appy but this was just bad training. Overall, we had a good time, but Im not running back here.

My husband and I had a great dinner. The food was delicious and the service great. The atmosphere was relaxing, we did not feel rushed The cocktails were also very good.

Absolutely horrible experience tonight. My wife and I went for our wedding anniversary and we would have been better off staying at home. The restaurant was not busy at all however service was slow. Had to ask other servers for things because ours was never around. My wife order Rack of lamb medium and I ordered filet mignon Med Rare. When the food came out the rack of lamb was well done and filet mid well. We had to ask another server to send it back because ours was not around. When the recooks came out they were still overcooked. Since it’s a Sunday night and we had a babysitter we could not afford to send the food back for a second time and wait again. We tried to eat the recooks but both were not to our liking. When our sever actually came back and asked us how everything was we told him and his response was we should have sent it back a second time. I am sorry but if you cannot get cook temps right the first or second time what difference would a third cook be? Now I would have expected that they would take the 2 entrees off since they were not done right 2times but no they decided that they would not do that. No apologies from the management either. Completely ruined our anniversary dinner and we will never go back even thought we live close enough to walk there.

We have our monthly NJSBGA meetings here. Food is always really good. The staff is fantastic.

Pricey, mediocre food. Seems like an upscale restaurant so we were disappointed. Some food was good like the rack of lamb and the salads. This was Mother’s Day dinner. Perhaps the normal menu is better. Enjoyed the mocktail mint mojito with fresh berries.

It was Mother’s Day. If you want to go to a restaurant and feel special, don’t go here. The seating was left over seating with weeks prior reservations. The feeling was a wedding seating where you didn’t know anyone. Basically. They filled seats in the leftover catering area at a high price. Would not recommend a holiday set seating.

I went there with my 2 sisters and their husbands for dinner. The dining area was very inviting. We got a table by the window which was nice but as the crowd grew the noise level got really bad. The service was good and the waiter knew his stuff. The portions are large but the shrimps were cold and my med rare lamb was well done. We sent the shrimp back to reheat. The funny thing was that as soon as my wife lifted her plate the waiter said , oh not hot enough. Did overall was just okay. Desert menu was small but okay. Not a I’m running back restaurant

Food was just awful for all of us. Sad how the quality of the food as well as its preparation came down. Used to be a quality restaurant - no longer

Amazing cocktails, delicious specials for dinner and perfect cappuccino. Service was attentive & excellent as usual. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a night out, Bacari Grill is always our first choice. Never disappoints, highly recommend!

Have been here many times on Friday nights in the past and try to have a drink at bar before dinning and have sat near the door at the bar and the female bartender ignores you for at least 10-15 mins.while chatting either regular customers or friends never moves or acknowleges other patrons.

We gave 5 stars to all categories, 5:30 reservation, had a wonderful table by the glass at the dining room far end. Wishing we had asked for the table number. We will be back soon!
