Oh my gosh, where do I start! First off, so super cute. The ambiance is sweet and feels like a little slice of magic. This was my first time here. We came to celebrate my birthday, there were 7 of us. We got seated right away in a comfortable area with enough space to enjoy ourselves. Abraham was wonderful in getting us started with our orders! We ordered the Pear and Brie pizza ( yummm) , the lamb hummus, the Chilaen sea bass, omg, so good, the petite filet, mac and cheese, and more. Michael was out server, he also took such great care of us. I could eat here every night and not tire of it. The food was delicious, the desert. The BEST Cake is out of this world and service impeccable. Well done Bacari!

Everything was made fresh and with great quality food. We ordered the grilled octopus, it had great flavor & grilled nicely but still very chewy and somewhat tough. Probably should have been boiled a little longer before grilling. Lamb chops were the best dish but the portions were small. All in all 6.8 out of 10 bigger portions would change my mind
