To start the food was AMAZING! We tried Moroccan cigars, Noa's cauliflower, Skirt steak, pork belly, stuffed mushrooms, scallops, and 2 of the Mac and cheese. The smoked mushroom pizza was ok.....I don't care for my greens to be roasted on the pizza like that but the flavor was good. Our group finished it off with their date cake....make sure to get it with ice cream! The service was good. They were very accommodating moving us from the parlor to the main restaurant but I really wished we could've taken our waitress with us. The next one was good but disappeared at times. This is a great place for a date, a small group or even to come alone and enjoy. I loved hearing the chatter of people talking! It makes my heart happy to know people aren't on their phones! read more

Came here for the first time for fathers day dinner. We had a 7:00p reservation and got seated almost on time. The entrance to the restaurant is really cozy, it feels like you're walking into someone's home. We had outdoor seating. We ordered the pear pizza, banana coffee, Moroccan cigars, lamb hummus, Mac&cheese. Pear Pizza: 5/5 Lots of complex flavouring. Sweet, salty, tomatoey, pizzaey. The textures were just right. I could eat two of these on my own. Banana Coffee: 4/5 Nothing special but it was definitely tasty! Doesn't help that I am a coffee perfectionist. Lamb Hummus: 5/5, I just wish there was more lamb but don't we all. The dish was really good though, and so was the pita it came with. We couldn't get enough. Moroccan Cigars: 4.5 / 5, they are essentially falafel egg rolls. On their own, it tastes like good falafel inside a crispy exterior. The sweet sour sauce takes it a bit further, excellent pairing. Ginger beer: 5/5 yum! Mac and Cheese: 3/5, was a bit disappointing. I liked the use of the shell pasta. The top of the Mac was great since it's baked crispy with crispy onion on top. The middle of the Mac is just cheese though, really underwhelming. After tasting that pizza, I was hoping more dishes would have such flavour complexity but, alas, no. Also, Mac and cheese should be dirty and this was certainly not dirty enough read more

While the garden gets a lot of attention, I always prefer sitting inside. The space is warm, romantic, and filled with character, with cozy corners, glowing light, and an atmosphere that feels both lively and intimate. It makes you want to linger over another glass of wine and one more small plate. The menu is perfect for sharing, with a variety of creative dishes that make it easy to try a little bit of everything. The wine and cocktail selections complement the food beautifully, and the entire experience feels relaxed and inviting. Whether it's a date night, dinner with friends, or an impromptu neighborhood meal, it consistently delivers. It's just...busy do if you have no patience, this isn't for you. Skip the patio and grab a table inside. That's where the actual magic is. read more

I've had Bacari bookmarked for a while (several locations, actually) and finally got the chance to check it out for Sunday brunch. Food and service were both great. Luke, our waiter, was attentive and made sure we had a really nice dining experience. I'm definitely a sweet-and-savory brunch girl, so I ordered the chef's French toast with a side of bacon and eggs. The French toast could honestly pass for dessert. It was delicious, topped with macerated berries, bananas, and whipped vanilla custard. The space has both patio and indoor seating. Valet parking is available: $12 for brunch and $15 for dinner. read more

Parking is 15 at dinner 12 at lunch or street parking which in this area is not fun. Always hard to find. The resturant was packed so call ahead for a reservation They take food allergies seriously and not only clearly mark the menu but have a special menu They even have a good gluten free bread and know about cross contamination Food was excellent we ordered several small plates to share we enjoyed Lamb Hummus fish may vegetables and falafel even with a group of 8 it was hard to limit the menu so many good choices We spent about fifty a person including tax and tip and some wine This not your corner Mediterranean restaurant. They have tables for two and long tables for groups You can eat inside or on the patio Service was good read more

What a vibe! An impromptu trip to LA found me here with my cousins and their friends enjoying a delicious dinner in a beautiful atmosphere. I followed the group's lead as they ordered family style, and every dish was amazing. My favorite dishes were the Asian Pear and Brie Pizza and the Lamb Hummus. I didn't get a drink, but everyone at the table had great things to say about the drinks. I hope I have another opportunity to try more and enjoy some of my new favorites. read more

Warm night gentle breeze patio dining all presented a setting for very good food. First time there that provided a beautiful setting for a great experience for us and friends. The menu of interesting small plates sharing. We had we felt was super pairing of taste and texture. The chicken sliders and burrata salad was wonderful. We had a delicious Mac and cheese with shwarmer taco hanger steak which was yummy. So many choices that was difficult was best. Great vibe and sure to return for more selections. One negative to note "the entrance was very dark and narrow and caused me and my wife to almost fall. They need to install better lighting in this space to prevent guest from having an accident by falling. Enjoy enjoy ! Irwin Z read more

Another year, another visit to Bacari for my birthday. Could this be a tradition?! It might be! We come here other times too, but I chose to celebrate with my family again this year. Keep reading as to why this might not be a definite yes anymore. Reservations can be made via OpenTable and when you arrive, let the front desk know you have reservations and they'll check you in and call you up once your table is ready. Once at the front desk, we were greeted by the wonderful staff who sat us at our table. Unfortunately, that's where the attentiveness stopped. Once my group sat down, we immediately wanted to start with the Salatim and the waitress just asked if we wanted still, sparkling or filtered water and didn't ask the table if they wanted any other drinks. I wanted to celebrate with some cocktails, but I guess not. As more and more people arrived and filled the tables around us, our waitress started helping them and kind of forgot about us. We had to flag her down to get see if she could take a drink order in and she said she would be right back and tended to the other table. When she came back, she took our cocktail order and food items we wanted. Food arrived pretty quickly and as usual, were delicious. As we were finishing, we had to ask for the check. She left the mini clipboard on the table with the receipt for us to pay and left. We put a credit card in and we waited and waited and waited. We had to flag another gentleman that was working there to see if he could run the card for us instead. We paid and left. Hoping it was an off day for the waitress as everyone else seemed to be on point - especially the person bringing the food to us. This kind of ruined the day and the great experiences I had before here and at other Bacari restaurants. I will need to rethink coming here for next year's birthday lunch/dinner and if my family will still make this restaurant part of our rotation. Really disappointed with the service we received. I asked my sister's family if I was crazy and they too said the service was not great and it was their first time there. read more

Hands down one of my favorite Bacari locations! Staff is always so attentive and every dish is truly phenomenal. I always order an Asian Pear & Brie Pizza & Mediterranean style corn. Tonight I tried the Tripoline pasta which was green & rich in flavor, 10/10 I would definitely recommend these 3 dishes as well as their Love Letter (whiskey) & Express Yourself (vodka) cocktail. I found open seating for two at the bar & my bartender Jasper did an amazing job when I asked him to surprise me with a cocktail. He made me a Whiskey based Yuzu & lavender martini, next time you visit you should give it a try. Valet parking is offered ($12-15 can't remember) but there is also street parking which you pay $3-5 for at the nearest meter. Because of the rain and the traffic congestion today, I parked at the Ralph's parking structure across the street for about 2-3 hours & my car was still there lol. Just be wary but that is always an option. read more

We did our valentines weekend dinner tonight at Bacari Sherman oaks. Big dining crowd and a great vibe . Jose , Rachel and mgr Lester took expert care of us. Mac n cheese, Brussels sprouts in a balsamic sauce, stuffed mushrooms with a pinch of garlic and freshly baked baguette got us started . Deceptively small, rich plates . Flat iron steak was tender and perfectly cooked. Scallops in a carrot puree were well done and firm as ordered. My sea bass in a puree with a Mediterranean corn is my fav with skin on. A bread pudding dessert with ice cream served hot finished off an outstanding meal. Valet or street parking with a walk after a fine meal. read more

We decided to come here because my friend is flying back to Manila tomorrow and we wanted to have a nice send-off dinner. Another friend of ours had been wanting to try Bacari for a while, and since I always see this place packed, I thought this would be the perfect time to finally check it out. We didn't have reservations and were told the wait would be about an hour. The hostess was really nice though. After maybe 30 or 40 minutes, she let us know someone had canceled and we could be seated sooner. That part I appreciated. The vibe is honestly great. Dim lighting, cozy atmosphere, cool artwork on the walls, and a lively crowd. It feels trendy and energetic. I get why people like coming here. It feels like a place to hang out and talk for hours. Our server was awesome. Super accommodating and patient, especially since it was our first time and we had no clue what to order. Now the food. We ordered pasta, sea bass, salmon, and pita with dips. The pasta came out first. We actually thought it was an appetizer at first because of how it looked. It was good, flavor-wise. But the portion was really small. One person could have finished it in under two minutes. There were three of us sharing. Then came the sea bass. Same story. Tiny plate, small portion. It tasted okay. Nothing bad about it, but nothing memorable either. The salmon was similar. Decent, but very regular. Definitely not something I would crave again. A few nights before, we had salmon and sea bass at Joey in Woodland Hills, and that meal was honestly a 10 out of 10. This one felt like a 6 out of 10, and that's me being generous. My two friends actually said it was more like a 5. One of them even said our housekeeper makes better salmon at home, and we all kind of agreed. We left not really full and not really impressed. So here's my honest take. If you're coming for the vibe, it's great. If you're curious because it's always packed and there's hype around it, try it once. But if you're going mainly for the food or expecting generous portions, you might be disappointed. For us, it was probably a one-time experience. Great atmosphere. Very regular food. Very small servings. read more

Ambiance and service was great with Nikki. We came in for the DineLA experience . Food was ok but presentation was beautiful . We ordered: Espresso martini was great. Reminded me of a Vietnamese coffee with a light kick at the end 5/5 Bacarita with and without jalapeños. Both were well balanced . **side note: didn't feel a head change after 2 glasses though 5/5 Crudo was fresh and tasteful. There was too much spices on it for me. 4/5 Shakshouka was a bit bland 3/5 Smoked salmon pita was good 4/5 Potato tacos were good but a bit salty. Cilantro would've been great on it. Consistency was great 4/5 Chilequiles were too salty we couldn't finish it . Chips had great consistency 3/5 Vegan double chocolate cake was very rich fluffy and pairs well with a side of ice cream 4/5 Malabo is very rose water forward so if you're not into that this isn't for you. I thought it was a nice palette cleanser. It's different, fresh and well layered with texture and flavor 5/5 read more

I visited this Bacari location recently with my colleagues for dinner. It's a gorgeous space, absolutely worth the visit. The food was also delicious - I chose the glazed pork belly and the Asian pear & Brie pizza. (It went REALLY well together!) and I think I had a cider with. All delicious things. Our server was great - he let me pay my share separately so I could leave first. I always appreciate that kind of service. My only quibble, if you will, is that it was SO. DAMN. LOUD. in our section. Now, I'm not sure if it was the other tables around us, but it was so loud we could barely hear ourselves. It was also quite dark, but I've come to associate that with the Bacari experience as a whole (I've also visited the Silverlake location and it's just as dark there). Anyway, I'd totally come back. Maybe next time I'll sit outside. read more

I love Bacari, especially for brunch. It's normally my go to spot. I will say this last visit their food was not hitting like it normally does. The chilaquiles is normally my favorite dish but this time they were very salty and the chips soaked up all the sauce in 2 seconds. Also only comes with a tiny egg & it really needed something to give it more love. I love the chic pea hash. Their kale salad is also another fav but this time we had to send it back as it was covered in dressing and didn't taste very fresh. The fries are amazinggggg Our server was very nice, always had good service except for oneeee time haha. We ended it with bread pudding and coffee. Also something to note is sitting outside is nice but nobody looks super comfortable in their chairs if you look around. Some of the tables are so close together you feel like you're in eachothers conversations. I would come back and recommend but I will say going peak busy hours did effect the taste of the food :/ read more

Came to have lunch with my husband. I didn't not expect to see so many people here at 12:30pm on a Friday. Once I approached the host he told me there are many graduation lunches booked that's why they are so busy. He was so friendly and welcoming. He told me he will seat us in a few minutes. Outdoor seating was fully booked so we sat near the bar. Boy was it busy !!! So many people around us. So loud but everyone celebrating and having fun. Love love seeeing that. Now the food. We ordered a few dishes and everything tastes amazing. The kale salad was so flavorful and fresh and delicious. The pork belly was amazing. The shawarma tacos also really good. The food overall is tasty. The customer service was amazing. They were so busy but believe it or not there were two people checking on us every few minutes. I was amazed how wonderful the entire team was handling everything. Professional, friendly and helpful. Just wonderful. There is valet parking or you can park on the street. The ambiance is great here even though it was crazy busy and loud. read more

Lots of different food...brussel sprouts, ceviche , pear pizza, and some crsipy chicken wings. All options were made well and service and atmosphere were great. Loved the shareable plates and just overall good vibe. Worth a visit and would definitely recommend for a group... read more

We made reservations at Bacari Sherman Oaks. Originally we were going to dine at 6:30. We called and asked if we could dine sooner. We changed the reservation to 5:45. We arrived at a charming venue that featured outdoor dining with heating lamps and a separate bar with a fireplace. We were seated inside in a corner table overlooking the outside. The restaurant reminds me of a quaint French chateau with leaded glass windows. We were greeted by Ellie our waitress, she was friendly, knowledgeable and explained the menu. And we asked her questions regarding our choices. Our choices were some of her favorite dishes. She told us we would be sharing small Tapas plates. We ordered the Glazed Pork Belly, & Pork chop, that was sliced and delicious it was caramelized with pearl onion and Parmesan . We also ordered the Lamb Humus that was ground and braised with spiced Lebanese stew and hot fresh pita bread. We also ordered Chicken Schnitzel with whipped feta, arugula -mint salad that was absolutely delicious! Everything was delicious, we highly recommend, and we can't wait to go back! read more

This was my first time dining at this location. I have been to their other locations. I had a great experience dinning in this restaurant. I went for brunch and it was tapas. We ordered several plates to share, my favorite was chef's French toast. It was so yummy and flavorful. It was not too sweet and tasted really good. If you like shawarma, I recommend ordering Shawarma tacos . They were so delicious and perfectly seasoned. For drinks, I can say I really enjoyed my latte. It was not too sweet and tasted good. For service, our server was attentive and she kept checking on us. She even made recommendations on what to order and what were the popular items people usually order. For ambiance, this location has both indoor and outdoor seating area. When I visited, weather was perfect sunny and warm. Therefore, we sat outside and it looked like a little village with several trees. For parking, this location offers valet parking and also there is street parking available too. They also accept reservations. If you don't like to wait, I would recommend making a reservation in advance. read more

Came here with my mom to celebrate my birthday and made reservations in advance which were definitely needed bc even though it was a weekday night, this place was packed. I would describe this place as better for the aesthetics / vibe compared to the food. Valet parking is the only available parking at the restaurant but there is metered parking on Ventura you can park at and walk. Service was fine. Grilled pita 4/5, good, little spicy but definitely overly salted Shawarma tacos 3/5, just ok, the tortilla was oddly neither soft shell or hard shell but this weird in between?? Brussel sprouts 3/5, just ok, soft and melted in your mouth but lacking any flavor (for me) but my mom loved this Bread pudding 5/5, oh this was our favorite! Very soft without being overpoweringly sweet read more

Great place for girl's night out and catching up with friends. The food and drinks are delicious, the service is excellent, and it's a fun atmosphere. Our table was outside and in a corner. It was perfect for people-watching--which I love to do. My girlfriends and I had so much catching up that we didn't even notice water was brought to the table. After we finally paused from catching up, we were asked if we were ready to order. We placed our drink and food order all at the same time. The food was brought out a different times an it was all so divine. Going back to the people watching, the teamwork among the staff is impressive. It turned out that the man who took our order was a manager. His name is Henry. He was not only attentive to our table but also to the other tables around us. I feel so good to be in a place where staff works seamlessly together, making sure guests are well taken care of no matter if they are a manager or wait staff. It feels like family. A special thank you to Henry. He is attentive, professional, and made our girl's night out special. We will definitely be back! read more

I finally made it to Bacari Sherman Oaks and it definitely lived up to the vibe. The ambiance? 10/10. It's one of those spots that instantly feels warm, intimate, and a little romantic -- perfect for a date night or catching up with friends. The candlelight, marble tables, and cozy setting just set the tone right away. A lot of people love the patio too, and I can see why. The food is all tapas-style, so everything is meant to share -- which I actually loved because you get to try a little bit of everything. The shrimp dish was super fresh and flavorful, and the bread with spreads was simple but really well done. The cocktails? Easily one of the highlights. That espresso-style drink with the foam on top was smooth, creamy, and dangerously good. Service was friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. That's something people consistently mention about this place -- the staff really makes you feel taken care of. Only thing to note: it can get a little loud when it's busy, especially indoors, so if you want something more low-key, I'd definitely recommend sitting outside. Overall, this is one of those places you go for the full experience -- good food, great drinks, and an even better vibe. I'd 100% come back and try more dishes. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants as it has a great ambiance, stellar food and service. The ambiance is very warm, intimate and reminiscent of being in someone's home. Very cozy and nice. We have literally been happy with every single dish we have ever ordered. This includes the Sea Bass, Cauliflower, Asian Pear and Brie Pizza, Street Corn, Burrata Caprese, Stuffed mushrooms, Moroccan Cigars and "The Best Cake." I do want to shout out Lawrence for taking care of us. There was a bit of a snafu with our order, but he more than made up for it. I feel like other establishments would only apologize resulting in a lost customer, but Lawrence ensured we would come back time and time again. Regarding parking, if you don't mind a short walk there is plenty of parking (unlimited after 6) in the neighborhood. read more
