   We love Bacari and have been to Silverlake, Glendale and now your location. Unfortunately there was a restaurant full of college kids out for the night and we were sat next to a giant table of young guys having fun. There was a young man at the end of a long table about 2 inches from my chair and his friends kept coming up to walk over and chat and lean over my wife and I. Definitely not a pleasant dining experience at all at first. We were able to move over to the back outside corner when a table opened and eventually the students left and it was great. Nothing against the kids being there but it just made it not so great, actually bad at first. That said, your waitstaff, host, and security were all super friendly and understanding and helpful - so, they turned a rough start into a nice evening and the food is always fantastic so that made up for it too. Had I known we'd be put in the middle back against the alley next to that big table I wouldn't have come and would rather have been told it was booked being that full. But, overall, I'm glad it worked out. My wife and I felt for the staff as they say it happens often. I think they just need to manage it a little better. Not sure what they can do but it seemed like there were lots of tables of college kids having a drink and appetizers. I didn't see full dinners unless they ate earlier. I wouldn't want them to turn business down and I'm glad the kids have a place to go, but I think the host could ask them to be seated and be respectful in the nice environment they've created. It's not a frat party after all. We'll be back as again, the staff and food made it worthwhile, but we will avoid and call in the future to make sure it's not 'college night'.

   French toast took too long to come out and was the last plate served. We had to flag our server for service. Overall the food is good, but the service needs some attention. Could be understaffed, bit I would still come back

   The food here is absolutely delish! But hands down, what sets this restaurant apart is its hospitality! The front house staff took care of us from the time we walked in until the time we walked out (2 hours). The manager G was phenomenal. And the Chefs made some dietary accommodation to ensure no cross contamination with food due to a seafood allergy. I mean, nothing short of accommodating! We had a wonderful brunch experience at Bacari!

   Great selection of small plates. Especially recommend the Pork Belly dish and the Great Cake. Staff is terrific. Recommend Bartender Ricky and Hostess/Server Ashley. Will come again.

   We wish there was Coca Cola as opposed to Pepsi. 😞 People care.

   The receptionist was so nice and welcoming and at times would check up on us to see if we needed water or wanted to order anything else. I loved the Halloween themed pop up! Always a great time at Bacari!

   The venue was perfect. The folks that work there were kind, and food was delish. Took my friend to celebrate her October birthday. LOVED it.

   We had a fun time experiencing the Halloween pop up. Service was attentive and food was good overall, some dishes better than others. We sat in the corner at a less than desirable table which is the luck of the draw and my espresso martini (my fav cocktail) was just alright. Overall I would return. The tapas style is a good way to try lots of different things.
