    Pork Tenderloin
    Tim M.

    The Beef Wellington is absolutely soft, tender, and delicious here! The dark brown sauce with the mushrooms is just fantastic. However, I personally could have used more sauce, it's just so good and completely completes the meal. The bread layer of the Wellington was great; this could of been a bit softer, but overall it was great. The pork tenderloin was good, but didn't have much flavor and was a bit dry. The greens that accompanied it needed to cook longer, too hard. The bread appetizer was fresh and delicious as well. Overall service was great. Our waiter was friendly, though I think he could have used some help because he was the waiter within the restaurant. The ambiance is quite peaceful. This is not a place for loud talkers, or children. The restaurant is small, and has a 1920s-30s feel to it. A very nice grand piano compliments the scene as well. Overall I highly recommend checking Bacari out!

    Bacari. Finest dining in Gresham. Everything from drinks to dessert was fabulous. Fresh ingredients, attention to detail, perfectly cooked dinner... made for an amazing date night. Executive Chef and owner, Lisa, came out to see how our dinner was. I think that's a very nice touch. We've been to Bacari several times over the past few years and it's always consistent and on point and classy.

    Daily salad, Caesar salad a baguette and "truffle butter"
    Stephanie M.

    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.

    Delicious food. Cozy atmosphere. We ate at the bar and enjoyed freshly made cocktail specials with our meals.

    Espresso Martini and Lemon Marscapone cake with homemade whipped cream.

    We had such a euphoric dining experience at Bacari " a petit Restaurant "! We started with dirty martinis and Caesar salad with bread, moved on to Lobster bouillabaisse and Stoller Pinot Noir. Finished off with Lemon mascarpone cake with homemade whipped cream and espresso martini. Our server John was great and Chef Lisa had all the flavors on point!

    Phenomenal dinner
    Alena N.

    First time we came with our best friends out of town and they fell in love with the atmosphere and the food is the way it was cooked and presented, Customer Service was incredible, it was so safe and clean also tables were comfortably spread out that you feel safe. Couple weeks later we decided to return to this restaurant to celebrate our 10th year anniversary and it was very romantic we made a good choice by going to this restaurant. Thanks to the staff and the owner for making our special event real special

    See all

    How is the dessert selection/quality here?

    We didn't order the dessert. They looked very good, and another person eating recommended the orange bunt cake. The selection wasn't as large as other restaurants, but it was more than 3.
