I love Bacari. I came for lunch during the week with reservations and was seated immediately. I had the Oven Roasted Chicken Breast which was really good. It was on top of a parmesan risotto cake which gave the dish a nice texture and the sauce was amazing! read more

I love Bacari! I went to the Silverlake location a while back and loved my experience there too. The staff are just incredibly welcoming and make you feel at home. The indoor dining area is smaller but there's much more outdoor seating for this location. The food was yummy as well. This restaurant typically has a lot of customers so I would recommend to get a reservation in advance! read more

I came here to spend some quality time with my lovely ladies - Te-See & Rose. Bacari is known for its stunning décor. However, this location is not as elaborate, especially the outside dining area, which is a covered area on the sidewalk. It's great for people watching though. (I did sneak a peek inside. It's cozy with a woodsy cabin feel and lively artwork on the walls.) Our server Cat was fantastic. She went above and beyond to deliver excellent service. She also had a warm & friendly personality. We started with a round of Bacaritas and shared the Asian Pear & Brie pizza. There was a slight mishap with one drink order and to make up for it Cat brought us each a complimentary glass of bubbly, so we raised a toast to our guest of honor. The Bacarita was a tasty refresher. I liked how the fresh watermelon balanced out the spiciness of the Jalapeño. The pizza was also a delight on the palate. A light, crispy crust topped with thinly sliced pear, a guava fromage Blanc, wild arugula, a sprinkling of Maldon salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. For dessert we shared The Best Cake and the Bread Pudding. The bread pudding contained a clover honey custard and was topped with fresh vanilla bean ice cream. It was delicious! The Best Cake was comprised of Medjool dates, brown sugar caramel, and topped with crispy bacon. I tried a section without the bacon, and it was good. The ladies loved it. Most of all we had a wonderful evening together, and our server Cat made it extra special. *Metered street parking or the parking lot at the Americana. read more

This was not my first "Bacari rodeo"...However, it was my first time at this location and I have to agree with the other reviewers...Every server, the hostess and managers were AMAZING! Drum roll please...Te-see's pick for "Best overall Service...Bacari GDL! I made my reservation on Open Table for a birthday celebration for 3 @4pm on a Sunday. Francesca, the hostess, greeted me when I arrived first. She was so friendly and welcoming. We had the perfect 4 top out on the patio. Our server Cat, was THE BEST!!! She was adorable and made sure our experience here was nothing short of perfect. We all ordered the Bacari Margarita, 2 spicy, and mine not spicy:) It took a couple of tries to get mine right, but Cat made sure they got it right for little ole me... We shared the Pear Pizza which is one of their staple items on the menu...SOOO GOOD! The birthday girl shared "special day" desserts with us: *The Best Cake (YUM) & Bread Pudding (also YUM) The inside area is small but open concept, high ceilings & the bar on the right side of the restaurant. The outdoor patio was much larger with heaters ready for anyone feeling chilly. *Located next to Fridas on Brand Ave - NOT in the Americana *Street parking or in the lot at the Americana Definitely will be back here! read more

I don't usually write reviews for places I've been to before but to be fair, I've never been to this particular location before. And I just had the most amazing customer service experience I've ever had at any Bacari. I grew up just a couple of blocks away from Bacari Silverlake and so I go to that one frequently. The service there is just fine. However, I just went to the Glendale location for the first time and admittedly the location isn't as iconic as the Silverlake one but geez the staff at the Glendale location was just so amazing. I mean seriously, they were just so warm, welcoming, and is the main reason why I'll come back to this location particularly from now on. I have to shout out Lawrence, Francesca, Agnes, and our server Casselina (sorry if I spelled that wrong! aka Fa Mulan). It seriously made my birthday brunch so fun and memorable. As for the food, the food is amazing as usual and loved that this location's brunch menu was more extensive. The ambiance was still cute and tons of heated outdoor space. The road noise can get a bit loud but that's to be expected in sidewalk patio seating. Highly recommend this place for the service! read more

Bacari GDL - Pistachio dessert - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

This place is so unique and fantastic. Their entire menu consists of tapas, so you get to pick and choose multiple dishes that can easily be shared. They recommend 3 per person. The variety is huge and their dishes are all delicious and creative. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and it gets very busy on weekends. Very friendly and helpful staff, in an open and clean environment. read more

I love this location, and I didn't think my experience could get any better until tonight. Our server, Bailey, was exceptional. She delivered outstanding service being attentive, professional, and consistently checking in on our party of 14+ to ensure every order was correct and our group was well taken care of, even during a busy evening. Bailey is truly the best. read more

Ambiance: this Bacari restaurant is located outside the Americana shopping center, and they validate parking, the indoor dining area is limited including regular tables and bar stools, although they have a large outdoor dining space, the restroom is a bit messy and should've been cleaned more often, overall still one of the better dining experience I've had at the Bacari chain restaurants Service: very friendly and attentive, served water and placed order promptly, and food was brought to the table at a comfort pace Food & Drink: standard Bacari menu shrimp ceviche - *** citrus fennel vinaigrette, heirloom cherry tomato, cucumber, za'atar, sesame, sumac, lime chili chips, bold flavors and overpowering acidity chef's salmon - ***** pan seared, walnut crust, tomato rouille, garlic & herb bulgar, parsley, crispy outside and juicy inside, balanced flavors, highly recommend shawarma tacos - *** chicken pargiyot, shredded cabbage, pickled red onion, sesame, garlic tahini, blend taste, chicken was a big dry petit filet - **** grilled zucchini, tarragon aioli, frantoia olive oil, maldon salt, tender and flavorful meat, recommend pistachio crèmeschnitte - **** crispy sfoglia, pistachio cream, toasted pistachios, the cream was great, and pastry tasted old not so crispy, still recommend for the overall taste salted caramel latte - *** overly sweet cream, but blend coffee Price: the food is served in tapa style, generally small portions, overall decent quality, expect $50+ per person read more

I come to Bacari quite often, the food and service is always great, but Kasarlina made my most recent visit extra special! She was so sweet and funny, and suggested some great drinks too! I hope to have her as my server again in the future read more

Tapas, cocktails, and the kind of service you remember. And yeah, I won't forget. Tucked in at The Americana, facing Brand Blvd, Bacari GDL has a nice chill vibe, with plenty of sidewalk patio seats if you're the people-watching type (and honestly, who isn't). That's where we grabbed a spot. Great views, questionable fashion choices. The food came out looking as good as it tasted, except for a few minor misses. RAINBOW BEETS were cooked perfectly and had good flavor, but I didn't care for the overall flavor profile. The other components missed the mark. STUFFED MUSHROOMS had nice flavor but came out a little watery, which diluted the taste. GLAZED PORK BELLY was tender with caramelized edges and just the right balance of sweet and savory. Except one piece was literally all fat, which could've been tossed before plating. Otherwise, amazing. The rest went fast, and I regret nothing. LAMB HUMMUS was well done, rich, balanced, and seasoned perfectly. The fresh pita might've been best in show for that dish. It was perfect. FRIED CHICKEN SLIDERS were crispy on the outside, super tender inside, and the dressing flavor was on point. GRILLED PITA had amazing flavor, warm and lightly charred just right. The Aleppo oil was next level. Highly recommend this one. The Grey Goose ESPRESSO MARTINI was smooth, balanced, and finished with that perfect creamy top. Shoutout to KASARLINA for the great service and easy conversation. She made the whole experience even better. Bacari GDL got it mostly right, with a relaxed setting, flavorful dishes, and that kind of service that makes you want to come back. read more

Wonderful experience. I've been to Bacari in Silver Lake and Culver City, and this was my first time at Glendale. First of all, Olivia who waited on us was fun, attentive, detailed and took her time with our large party (couldn't have been easy). She was phenomenal. Second, the food was perfect. I'm obsessed with the lamb hummus. Second favorite were the stuffed mushrooms. Food came out quickly. Cocktails were delightful, I got the Tokyo Sunset (not sunrise). We sat outside which was fine. It's close to the street so can get a little loud but hey, space is limited around here. Nice to be outside though. Would definitely come here again, and recommend the experience! read more

Every time we've gone here, it's been great. Drinks are tasty, food is delicious, and the service is always awesome. It is a sheltered but exposed dining room, So be aware of that read more

Our first time at the Glendale Bacari location and it was memorable! Our server Carter helped us through the menu and gave some great recommendations. The watermelon salad was fantastic and we never would've thought of ordering that. Will be coming back read more

My fiance and I have found ourselves at Bacari almost everytime we're at the Americana. Not only is the food delicious, the staff is fantastic, and they have a 90 open bar every single day! When I say every day, I literally mean M-Sun. It's $32 for mimosas, sangria, and wine. For an extra $5 dollars a person you can add on well drinks to the list. The food is tapas style so every thing is made to be shared. I'd say 1-2 items per person is perfect! The lamb hummus is one of ir staples and we highly recommend it, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. On my recent visit, this past Saturday 4/11, we had the pleasure of Jeff serving us. He was amazing! Super friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and helped answer any question we had (mostly on the 90 minute open bar). They have indoor and outdoor seating, but you can't go wrong with either. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Bacari is a tapas styles restaurant and located in the Americana, the vibes are just great here! Always popping but very good service. You can always make a reservation if you don't want to wait. I'm always impressed by the food here. The diverse menu lets you try dishes they don't have at other restaurants and they have some unique combinations. I dine here at least once month because that's how obsessed I am with their brussels sprouts. They cook this dish to perfection and the sauce is addicting. Some of my other favorites are the shawarma tacos, chicken sliders, cauliflower and the mac and cheese. Everything tastes great, and quality is consistent. Some of the cocktails can be a hit or miss but I highly recommend the bacarita if you're getting a drink, especially if you want a refreshing, watermelon based drink. Also this is one of the few restaurants in the mall that actually validates parking. read more

Bacari Glendale never disappoints. I was just strolling around Glendale and decided to stop in, and I'm so glad I did. From the moment I sat down, Hannah made the experience exceptional, she was incredibly sweet, attentive, and had such a positive attitude that genuinely elevated my visit. I enjoyed a glass of the house white wine, which was crisp and delicious, along with the margarita pizza--simple, fresh, and absolutely perfect. Everything hit the spot. It's places (and people) like this that keep me coming back. Thank you, Bacari, for consistently providing such great service and a welcoming atmosphere. read more

Anibal was the BEST SERVER ever...he helped us on the patio so request the patio! It also allowed us to bring our dog - he gave her a bone and water. She had a great time too. The food was also super fresh and delicious. We got the burrata, rainbow beets, chicken Milanese, bread pudding and the GF date cake. I have a gluten allergy and the restaurant caters great to GF. The fryer has cross contamination, which they share fair warning on. It was a great experience and looking forward to coming back. read more

Our service was excellent--Feris was attentive, friendly, and made our visit feel special. The food was delicious overall, but the table favorites were the vibrant rainbow beets, stuffed mushrooms, and flat iron steak. The Social mocktail was tasty and pleasantly balanced (not overly sweet, especially if you prefer mild sweet drinks), and the lemonade offered the perfect tart-sweet finish. We'll definitely be back soon to explore more of the menu! read more

Fantastic meal and even better service. Carter was the man - took amazing care of us and helped us plan out our meal with multiple dietary restrictions. Highly recommend and look forward to coming back read more

Bacari GDL is located at The Americana at Brand, specifically located between La La Land and Frida's. What brought me here was dinner with Tora M that also had outdoor, dog friendly seating. I came to have dinner on a Sunday evening with my little girl dog and my husband. Tora came earlier, had made a reservation through Open Table and was already seated in the outdoor, covered seating area. Because she had been here before, she let us pick the items since it was our first time. After looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: Tripoline Pasta, $13.50 prior to tax- This dish was a little too spicy for me so I didn't eat more than a bite. I am not much of a spicy eater. My husband thought it was just okay and I am not sure what Tora thought of it. Shawarma Tacos, $16 prior to tax- I picked this and I thought this dish was okay. I am glad it wasn't spicy, just spiced. I liked the pickled onions. Lamb Hummus, $15.50 prior to tax- I thought this dish was spicy. The hummus itself may have been fine but the oil it was sitting in was rather spicy (like a lingering spicy taste since it was oil based). Brussel Sprouts, $15 prior to tax- The brussel sprouts were fine but could have been better without the sauce. I liked that the leaves of the brussel sprouts were nice and crispy but was heavy handed with the salt. Smoked Mushroom Pizza, $16 prior to tax- I think of all the dishes we had, this was probably the best. This pizza came with 6 slices and I liked the creamy cheese, it was very nice with the mushroom and pizza dough itself. ------------------------------------ (Total= $88.41 after tax, prior to tip) Portion sizes are rather small and meant to be shared among the table. So dining here is best to order numerous of plates so that you feel satisfied with your meal. I didn't really like this place and really thought it would be better. I think the portion sizes really are too small and overly priced for what it is. I had some what of a stomachache (some of it came from the spicy foods... sadly I was not meant for spicy foods) and so I hardly ate much. But I don't feel that the dishes above were enough to feed 3 people for dinner. Service initially was great with our first server but before his shift ended, he introduced us to another server who would be taking care of for the rest of our dinner. This server was a bit more forgetful and so we had to ask him a few times for water. But both servers in general were nice though. Food was just average for me and my husband. I honestly don't see myself coming back here. read more

I've ordered to-go twice from Bacari. Both experiences have been pleasant. The host has always been super friendly. I've picked up once during brunch hours and once at dinner time, both times they've been busy tending to diners who all seem to be enjoying their experience. Ambiance is causal with a mix of different crowds from families, to date nights, and solo diners. I really enjoy their pear pizza and the almond pasta. If you have a sweet tooth do your self a favor and get their cake! It's scrumptious! read more

We had a spontaneous visit to Bacari Glendale and had planned to just go in for drinks, but your bartender (Ari) was so phenomenal and so welcoming that we decided to stay for dinner as well. She suggested a few phenomenal crafted cocktails, (I'll be going back for!) I never had anything so tasty before, and the plates we ordered were absolutely fantastic. We had the lamb hummus, salmon and ancient grains, tuscan kale salad. Kudos to Bacari for creating the best ambiance and nurturing wonderful staff! read more

Bacari is one of my favorite restaurants in LA. Considering so many different restaurants in the LA area, this says a lot. I love the quality and taste of the food. The tapas style is perfect for someone who likes to try different foods in one setting. The cocktails are balanced, and the server is always lovely and friendly. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I like to sit outside to do some people watching and whatnot. The validate parking at the Americana, but I prefer parking lot A across the street, which has free EV charging. read more
