    Everything was wonderful. If I had a complaint it was that it took 30 minutes for the valet to retrieve our car. Beyond that, it was great.

    We were celebrating the marriage of our son and now daughter-in-law with a large group. Casey was our server/also manager who couldn't have been more attentive and gave us great service! The vegetable plates were winners including the delicata squash, brussel sprouts, mujadara and rainbow beets. My favorite dish was the scallops. The chicken sliders and shwarma (made vegan for the bride) were OK. The biggest disappointment was the sea bass which was a bit dry. However, it was overridden by the fabulous overall experience. At the end of our meal the server brought complimentary glasses of champagne for the six of us, and complimentary bread pudding and date cake which were both delicious! I highly recommend Bacari or a great time!
