We’ve had better dining experiences here in the past than we did on a recent weekday night. The food was good, but the service was off. Our server said he was new and seemed untrained and unfamiliar with the menu and wine list; and our food was slow to arrive. There was also confusion with our reservation. From past experience, it seems Bacari often doesn’t answer phone calls or confirm reservations. If there’s a better way to make a reservation - i.e., Open Table - maybe that message should be added to the restaurant’s voicemail greeting. After dinner, it would have been nice to enjoy a cup of coffee with that delicious chocolate cake we had, but we were told the restaurant didn’t have coffee. We plan to go back. I hope it was just an off night.

The first thing I will say is the food is fantastic. So flavorful and tasty that it made me forget about all of the other stuff that bothered me about my experience here. I can’t say enough about how yummy the food was. We had a party of 6. This restaurant is teenie and what they’ve done is that they have the parking lot converted into most of the dining space - so you basically sit on a vertical down grade of the parking lot which is on a hill. This kind of makes the tables uneven and quite uncomfortable to sit at. Also the tables are beat up and on the smaller side so it’s not super ideal. The whole parking lot thing was a Covid afterthought. They should look at the Golden Bull in Santa Monica and the model of what they did with their parking lot - because it’s incredibly awesome they built a whole floor and riser to even out the parking lot with lots of thought into the look and feel to get people coming back! The bathroom that’s outdoors has some stairs going down (a dark set of stairs mind you) and I almost tripped and fell down a dark hole as there’s no light to show you the way and really no way to tell if someone is actually in the bathroom or not. The outdoor lights don’t work well under the tent either. I felt like I was in a bad horror movie. The service is subpar at best. Our table ordered a whole bunch of dishes which came out very randomly in no particular kind of order. Not one person was eating at the same time - so you were left eating alone while everybody watched and drooled. I thought was really strange and odd. I get the whole small plate sharing thing but when people order individually at least try to get some food out at the same time for everybody. It was a shame to be so frustrated while watching one eat and not you. We sat for almost an hour before any food came out which was a drag. The server never did any check ins or following up and we had to ask and inquire “where’s the food?” “Where are our drinks?” That was super annoying.

We ordered wings, lamb stuffed eggplant, chipotle shrimp with bulgar, sea bass and French fries with fried egg. For dessert we had the bread pudding. With the exception of the wings and bread pudding, the food was excellent. It was a true “June gloom” afternoon; so what typically would have been a nice ocean view dinner on the patio was actually very grey and a little chilly. We had a lovely dinner in spite of that. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Really lovely evening: Liz is an exceptional manager. She is so accommodating, and treats everyone like you are in her own home. Her staff: Trevor, Austin and Daniella were incredible, the food was delish! I know it's a small plates kind of place, but my only "complaint" is there should be larger portion options- the food is that good!

Food and service both outstanding. Our server seemed a bit new and confused, but other workers quickly filled in and ensured we had everything we needed. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, and all dishes were excellently prepared.They’ve even done a great job of ensuring their outdoor makeshift dining area had ambiance.

Their food and cocktails are tasty, but some portions were smaller than expected. The multiple service staff servicing your table is either really good or you feel like a burden ordering more. Outside tables vary, which will affect your dining experience.

As usual Bacari does not disappoint. Love the small plate style and especially the chicken-risotto caper combo, the chipotle cauliflower, and the burrata pesto dish. And once again-Ira is the best server around. Will be back.

Food was excellent! Definitely ask what your server recommends. There’s a lot of variety, and the best dishes were the ones our server suggested. I do wish they had more cocktails made with alcohol other than tequila/mezcal. Bring a coat, too! You’re close to the water, and it can get chilly. Great vibes there as well. They let us sit, talk, and keep ordering dishes for a couple of hours. And the staff were all very friendly.

Last evening we dined with friends at Bacari Playa. It is an excellent restaurant for the value. We ate outdoors on the patio. There were two large birthday parties which meant that there was background noise. However it was tolerable and we were able to converse readily. The only real concern was that the serving staff could have been a bit more responsive. However, given that it was a busy Sunday evening, that was understandable. Definitely a place to which we will return.

Went to celebrate my daughter’s grad school graduation with some of her friends. From the fun drinks to the delicious food to the great service, the night was a real hit. Favorite was the beet ricotta gnocchi, the fries and the cauliflower but we ate a good variety as we had a big crowd and I would say we did not have a bad piece of food the whole night.

Food here is consistently good and the service is always friendly and attentive. My favorite brunch dish was probably the shrimp ceviche. My companion really liked the pancakes.

Food was amazing! Small, sharable plates, all delicious! Wait staff were super friendly and helpful. Ambiance.... loved it! I took my mom and aunt (70+ yo) plus friends and son for Mother's Day Brunch. We all had the greatest time. Bloody Marys - yum! French Toast - to die for! I will definitely be going back.

Staff on Saturday afternoon not friendly to Black patrons. First server was cool but overall very noticeably not friendly to Black man arriving alone.

Found this little gem on Yelp. It did not disappoint. The food was delicious! We ordered 8 different small plates and everything had its own unique flavor. The pizzas were very tasty and the Mac n cheese…well…I may have ordered two😬. The service was excellent both the GM and a server assisted with the menu and were very pleasant. Overall I’d say the experience was a 10!
