    Egg Pizza
    Sophia D.

    This place is family style with small servings and plates, so 2-3 plates a person is the way to go. I loved this since their menu was super unique and fun. We ordered the egg pizza, the potato tacos, the crab benedict (10/10, my savory fav), & chilaquiles. We also started with some bread, butter, and house made olives. For sweets, the Malabi was AMAZING (one of our favs, super refreshing) & with the crunchy pistachio dish and french toast that was fluffy and served with fresh vanilla cream. Service was quite slow but there was only one server (poor girl) & she was doing her best, so not this queen's fault at all they were probably short staffed. Hip place that was not too packed, would def return!

    Hosted a social work event here for social work month and we had such a good time. We were a larger size group so we had have a fixed menu. The food just kept coming and no one had any complaints. Can you believe our waitress Lillie R was a social worker as well? Lol the coincidence. She was amazing and we made sure she was celebrated as well! Only con would be the parking which isn't their fault but man is it really difficult. Some of us got really lucky others had a tough time. Overall such a great experience at this location. My home base Bacari is w. 3rd.

    My boyfriend and I came to Bacari W Adams on 2/15 around 6:00 p.m., right after valentine's day. It's a cozy little spot decorated with soft lighting, flame-lit candles, and cushions on the booth seating. We were both starving, because we had not eaten all day. The following food ratings are based on both our ratings, averaged: papas bravas -- 9 // This dish was recommended by our server. It was reminiscent of those seasoned potato wedges i used to love eating yearsss ago from my school's cafeteria, but elevated. The sauce and pickled onions paired well with the potatoes and creamy aioli. shawarma tacos -- 8/10 // pretty good, but i wanted more sauce. the meat was tender, and the lettuce was nice and crisp. stuffed mushrooms -- 7.5/10 // can't go wrong with pesto and mushrooms. these were small (each mushroom was literally only one bite) but packed with flavor. while delicious, the portion size did leave a little to be desired because there were only four pieces (took off 0.5 of a point for that). sea bass - 9.25/10 // delicious, tender. vegetables had a nice char and slight smokiness. very flavorful dish overall. asian pear and brie pizza - 8.25/10 // drizzled with honey, it's a sweet and savory pizza that satisfies the senses. i love brie, and its creaminess and flavor paired well with the sweetness of the pear and honey. it's like a charcuterie pizza, but without the meat... so charfruiterie? chicken sliders -- 5/10 // honestly it was nothing to write home about. the sliders get points for the chicken being cooked well: it retained moisture inside while being crispy on the outside. however, the dish didn't really stand out to us, and to me it had like an odd medicinal flavor to it ? not sure what caused it. the best cake -- 10/10 // I don't have a sweet tooth, but it was delicious. it's very sweet and caramel-y tasting. the addition of ice cream provided a generous serving of vanilla ice cream that balanced out the sweetness. you HAVE to get ice cream with this, because it would have been too sweet without it (in my opinion). it's topped with a little bacon and there are dates in it. I DO NOT usually like eating dates, but this was a delicious dessert that utilized the fruit well. i would get definitely gain weight from this if i lived near here! strawberry fizz -- light and refreshing, no strong alcohol taste. love notes -- stronger alcohol taste but sweet. it's on the rocks, so let the ice melt and sip on it slowly. We loved every dish and would order each one again (except the chicken sliders). Service was a bit on the slower side, but it seemed like they were understaffed, (I think) there was a movie night going on, it was the weeknd of Valentine's, and we were not necessarily left wanting. Our server did a wonderful job and she gave us great recommendations! We would definitely recommend this place for a cute date night.

    The outside seems unassuming at first, but the security guard gives it away that this might be a more upscale place compared to the surrounding area. After showing ID, we were greeted by the hostess and asked about reservations. Even though we arrived 30 minutes early, our table was ready. Drinks were delicious and refreshing. The table given to us was a corner table, which was very much preferred and appreciated. It was pleasant to people watch and enjoy the ambiance. Our food came one at a time, which was fitting since the table for 2 was going to be cramped if all the dishes came at once. I love potatoes and thought the papas bravas were very well cooked. Our server was prompt and service overall was great.

    Papas Bravas
    Tess U.

    First time attending Bacari and had a great time. The atmosphere is cozy with candles at the table and dimmed lights. The staff did an amazing job with taking care of allergy requests and was very attentive. The plates are quite small, so I would recommend at least 2-3 plates per person. My favorites were the jidori chicken wings and papas bravas. Be warned the jidori chicken wings have a bit of a spicy kick. I wish the serving sizes were bigger, but the food was delicious.

    Had such a great experience at Bacari W. Adams and wanted to specifically shout out Kal, the GM. You can really tell when a restaurant is being led by someone who genuinely cares about both the guest experience and their team. Not only was Kal very sweet but so were the rest of the team! Will be coming back to their Monday movie nights too

    Came here for the movie and dinner night. The dinner was a full 3 course meal with popcorn. The caprese was really delicious and the two desserts (the ones w/o coconut) were very delicious. The mac n cheese was a bit salty but I think that was because I added bacon. The chicken was really soft and cooked very well. Overall, it was a fun experience. Staff was really nice and thoughtful. I recommend getting early for the movie event (prepurchase required tho) to get the best seats because it is open seating.

    Hands down, the best service and staff! Came here not realizing how packed it was going to be for USC Football homecoming game. They were completely booked but we managed to get bartop seating, which ended up working out perfectly for our group of 3. Alex and Bryan at the bar were superstars. The bar monitor was flashing with so many drink orders, straight from the show The Bear! And both Alex and Bryan and the entire team where executing these drinks like a pro, each one helping one another out to get the drinks out promptly. The entire place was filled with USC students and families getting ready to hit the game after. I never saw the bartop empty. Which is expected, USC students and families can drink especially before a game! Besides the food always being exceptional, I def wanted to highlight the staff this day. Because despite being extremely busy, they took care of the people, they were also attentive to us while we sat at the bar, and it was great seeing them work so efficiently and with such great energy. Thank you Alex, Bryan and G. Great location, great staff!

    Excellent service. Rotating servers checking in, taking orders, refilling drinks, dropping food off. It was a well oiled machine for sure. The food was amazing. Tapas style vibes. Gluten free and vegan options available. I love their Blushing Botanica drink(non alcoholic). Highly recommend the shawarma tacos (I got the vegan ones with mushrooms). Also the vegan chocolate cake was soooooooo good. Best cake ever.

    The Trio. Good to have friends

    I have such a great experience here. Over the years I have visited about 4 Bacari restaurants but I have been to this location the most, before the pandemic and the renovations, it was cool then and cooler now. Hung out with coworkers for a large gathering and ate and drank until my heart (and belly) was content. I like several items on the menu but some of my favorites are the watermelon margarita, chicken sliders, shawarma tacos and grilled steak. Shout out to the staff here, very cool people and very helpful and patient.

    Shrimp Ceviche
    Jonathan L.

    Went here the other night for their dinner and movie night! We saw Men in Black and had a wonderful time. Bacari takes advantage of their small restaurant and maximizes the layout of the tables. I was suprised by how many tables were in the restaurant even with the event. The food was mainly great. Their Burrata Caprese, Little Gem Salad, Stuffed Mushrooms, and the pork belly was delicious. Definitely would try those again. Our Margarita Pizza, Mac and Cheese, and Bacardi Fries were honestly way too salty. The initial taste was very good but we found ourselves chugging water after every bite. The Shrimp Cecviche was very unsatisfactory. The flavor was a little too salty and everything in the bowl was in huge chunks. It was not very good but the chips that came with it were really tasty. For Dessert we got the Double Chocolate cake and the Pistachio Crèmeschnitte. Both very delightful. Light and not too sweet which we preferred. Definitely a great spot for a quiet intimate night. Definitely would recommend the Burrata Caprese and the stuffed mushrooms! PS. The parking is a little small in the back. One lady almost hit our car because she didn't want to go out the other way... Also Service was great!

    Lavender Soda (hidden menu), Mediterranean Street Corn, Little Gem Salad
    Karina A.

    THE MOROCCAN CIGARS ARE TO DIE FOR!!!!! They were exquisite!! The flat iron steak was juicy and delicious-- they put the exact correct amount of salt on it. I loved the Bacari fries as well-- how creative! The little gem salad wasn't anything special tbh. We didn't like the street corn, but our server took it off our tab so it's all good!! The service was wonderful and friendly. They kept it real with us. The place is SO CUTE!! I loved the decorations! The happy hour deal is so nice too. Great restaurant by USC. Definitely recommend!!!

    Asian Pear & Brie Pizza
    Anna H.

    I know Bacari is really controversial within circles of USC students -- it's pricey, but it's nice food. I really enjoyed the Asian pear and brie pizza -- the sweetness of the pear really complements the saltiness of the brie and the fact that neither of them is cold makes the flavors stronger. The brussels sprouts also lived up to the hype and the chicken sliders were crispy and crunchy and a little bit sour (from pickles I think?) and those were definitely a fan favorite at our table. The chipotle wings were QUITE spicy though and a little too saucy for my taste. Like actually spicy. There was also a little bit of a bitter aftertaste which was strange? I'd potentially come here for a celebration but probably not on my own dime ideally.

    Do you allow small dogs outside?

    Dogs are allowed in the outdoor patio! :)

    Is their AC if you sit inside?

    Yes!

    Hello I've been trying to get a hold of Bacardi adams for about a week and it goes to voicemail, idk how else to contact you. I believe I left my AirPods at my table and wanted to know if you guys happen to have them, and when I could pick them up?

    How is the Parking situation? Is there a valet or Parking lot nearby?

    There is no valet and no parking lot, but there's a good amount of street parking all right around the restaurant. I've never had any issues with it, but I've only gone during brunch time on weekends and dinners mid-week. Hope that helps!

    Is there a corkage fee?

    Leslie, Yes, our corkage fee is $15 per 750 ml bottle of wine.

I finally had the chance to stop in for a solo early dinner, but unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to my expectations. I ordered the Lule Kabob Combo ($22), which included skewers of minced beef and chicken, rice, veggies, pita, hummus, and a side salad. The highlights of the meal were definitely the salad and the grilled tomato; the pomegranate seeds in the rice were also a nice touch. However, the meats weren't to my taste--the chicken had an odd aftertaste, and while the beef was better, neither really worked for me. Adding the provided sumac and lemon helped, but I wouldn't order the kebabs again. Additionally, the hummus lacked creaminess, and the pita tasted like it was mass-produced rather than fresh. On the positive side, the portion sizes are very generous for the price point, and I left feeling full. I also have to mention that the patio is adorable and very "Instagrammable," so it's a great spot if you're looking for a photo-friendly environment. A quick note for future visitors: they are currently having issues with their card reader and are requesting cash or Zelle. It felt a little unusual to be rung up on a register only to pay via Zelle, but it wasn't a major deal. While I appreciated the atmosphere and value, the food itself just wasn't for me, so I likely won't be returning.

Everything came out timely, fresh, and cooked to perfection. There were a lot of great dishes on the table, but the standout star of the night was the Slow-Roasted Lamb Neck Shawarma.
