Oh boy! It takes something worthwhile of my time to write a review. It's either amazingly good or my cry to save you from wasting your money. In this case, please save your money! First, we called to see if reservations were needed. We were told it was a slower evening (Saturday around 7pm) and it shouldn't be a problem. We arrived to only 2 tables each with 2 customers seated at them. We ordered our drinks which were decent. Nothing that stood out but, drinkable. Since we planned on seeing a movie after we ate, we wanted to stick to drinks and some lighter food. The seasonal salad was described as a cold water melon with feta crumbles, fresh mint leaves and a citrus vinaigrette. This salad was incredibly sour! It was like eating a super sour candy without ever getting to the sweet candy center. Moving on to the Caesar salad. The anchovies were so overpowering it ruined the salad completely. Last but not least was the baguette that is served with sweet cream butter for $8. For an additional $5 you can get truffle butter. Something so simple was absolutely horrible! Apparently because we ordered the truffle butter we wouldn't be receiving the sweet cream butter. The reason explained to us when asked if the other butter was forgotten, was explained that the chef only gives one butter because over half the butter ends up not being eaten. Well, if I wasn't paying the extra $5, I'd understand that explanation. It gets better! The truffle butter wasn't even truffle butter. It was butter with an obscene amount of truffle salt. It was salty to the point that it was painful to eat. I tried to scrape the salt off of the butter but it was so over saturated in that salt that there was no saving it. Maybe why so much of the butter goes uneaten...? To top it off, the two salads (no protein on the salads), a small baguette, only one of the butter we ordered and two drinks were just under $100 before the tip! This restaurant is very over rated. I had high hopes that were easily destroyed. If you're looking for fine dining that's worth it, stay clear of Bacari. After our movie, by the way was great, we were so hungry we stopped at taco bell. I eat at Taco Bell 2-3 times a year and it by far surpassed Barcai above and beyond. read more
