Food was amazing as usual! Shoutout to my server Evan, definitely made my experience so much better!

Been to the Silverlake location, and had to meet a friend in the valley so we tried Sherman Oaks. Boy are we glad we did! I'm not one to really leave reviews, but if you go ask for Luke! He suggested the pear & brie pizza, hadn't had before: it was awesome & Luke was awesome. read more

Food is incredible. Presentation and flavor. Service is also very friendly and considerate and knowledgeable about their place. Krystal was amazing. Ambiance is what makes this place special especially later in the day. It has that nice cozy feel. read more

I've had Bacari bookmarked for a while (several locations, actually) and finally got the chance to check it out for Sunday brunch. Food and service were both great. Luke, our waiter, was attentive and made sure we had a really nice dining experience. I'm definitely a sweet-and-savory brunch girl, so I ordered the chef's French toast with a side of bacon and eggs. The French toast could honestly pass for dessert. It was delicious, topped with macerated berries, bananas, and whipped vanilla custard. The space has both patio and indoor seating. Valet parking is available: $12 for brunch and $15 for dinner. read more

Overall a really good experience at Bacardi. The food was great and the service team was very friendly throughout the meal. I really liked the crispy pork, and my wife loved the shawarma tacos. The only downsides were that the drinks leaned a little too sweet for our taste, and service did take a bit longer than expected at times. Still, the overall experience was enjoyable and we'd definitely come back. read more

Parking is 15 at dinner 12 at lunch or street parking which in this area is not fun. Always hard to find. The resturant was packed so call ahead for a reservation They take food allergies seriously and not only clearly mark the menu but have a special menu They even have a good gluten free bread and know about cross contamination Food was excellent we ordered several small plates to share we enjoyed Lamb Hummus fish may vegetables and falafel even with a group of 8 it was hard to limit the menu so many good choices We spent about fifty a person including tax and tip and some wine This not your corner Mediterranean restaurant. They have tables for two and long tables for groups You can eat inside or on the patio Service was good read more

What a vibe! An impromptu trip to LA found me here with my cousins and their friends enjoying a delicious dinner in a beautiful atmosphere. I followed the group's lead as they ordered family style, and every dish was amazing. My favorite dishes were the Asian Pear and Brie Pizza and the Lamb Hummus. I didn't get a drink, but everyone at the table had great things to say about the drinks. I hope I have another opportunity to try more and enjoy some of my new favorites. read more

Great customer service! Great food! Great drinks! Great atmosphere all around. Came here on a Friday to meet with old friends. Parking is hard to find around here but they have valet for $15 which comes in handy, reservation is for sure needed since this place is very popular. They have live music on Friday nights. read more

Always a 10/10 experience with any Bacari location. Staff is very knowledgeable about their menu and handle food allergies well. Ambiance can be loud at times, but very much still able to be sociable with your table. Only downside at any location is the wait even with a reservation. read more

Another year, another visit to Bacari for my birthday. Could this be a tradition?! It might be! We come here other times too, but I chose to celebrate with my family again this year. Keep reading as to why this might not be a definite yes anymore. Reservations can be made via OpenTable and when you arrive, let the front desk know you have reservations and they'll check you in and call you up once your table is ready. Once at the front desk, we were greeted by the wonderful staff who sat us at our table. Unfortunately, that's where the attentiveness stopped. Once my group sat down, we immediately wanted to start with the Salatim and the waitress just asked if we wanted still, sparkling or filtered water and didn't ask the table if they wanted any other drinks. I wanted to celebrate with some cocktails, but I guess not. As more and more people arrived and filled the tables around us, our waitress started helping them and kind of forgot about us. We had to flag her down to get see if she could take a drink order in and she said she would be right back and tended to the other table. When she came back, she took our cocktail order and food items we wanted. Food arrived pretty quickly and as usual, were delicious. As we were finishing, we had to ask for the check. She left the mini clipboard on the table with the receipt for us to pay and left. We put a credit card in and we waited and waited and waited. We had to flag another gentleman that was working there to see if he could run the card for us instead. We paid and left. Hoping it was an off day for the waitress as everyone else seemed to be on point - especially the person bringing the food to us. This kind of ruined the day and the great experiences I had before here and at other Bacari restaurants. I will need to rethink coming here for next year's birthday lunch/dinner and if my family will still make this restaurant part of our rotation. Really disappointed with the service we received. I asked my sister's family if I was crazy and they too said the service was not great and it was their first time there. read more

Hands down one of my favorite Bacari locations! Staff is always so attentive and every dish is truly phenomenal. I always order an Asian Pear & Brie Pizza & Mediterranean style corn. Tonight I tried the Tripoline pasta which was green & rich in flavor, 10/10 I would definitely recommend these 3 dishes as well as their Love Letter (whiskey) & Express Yourself (vodka) cocktail. I found open seating for two at the bar & my bartender Jasper did an amazing job when I asked him to surprise me with a cocktail. He made me a Whiskey based Yuzu & lavender martini, next time you visit you should give it a try. Valet parking is offered ($12-15 can't remember) but there is also street parking which you pay $3-5 for at the nearest meter. Because of the rain and the traffic congestion today, I parked at the Ralph's parking structure across the street for about 2-3 hours & my car was still there lol. Just be wary but that is always an option. read more

I'd recommend making a reservation because it was busy! They have valet parking for $15 for dinner time. The restaurant has both inside and outside seating. It is very moody, rustic and romantic. The inside is small and the night I went there was a jazz band. The drinks were delicious. And the food was amazing! My favorites were the stuffed mushrooms, lamb hummus, charred broccoli, scallops and little gem salad. read more

We did our valentines weekend dinner tonight at Bacari Sherman oaks. Big dining crowd and a great vibe . Jose , Rachel and mgr Lester took expert care of us. Mac n cheese, Brussels sprouts in a balsamic sauce, stuffed mushrooms with a pinch of garlic and freshly baked baguette got us started . Deceptively small, rich plates . Flat iron steak was tender and perfectly cooked. Scallops in a carrot puree were well done and firm as ordered. My sea bass in a puree with a Mediterranean corn is my fav with skin on. A bread pudding dessert with ice cream served hot finished off an outstanding meal. Valet or street parking with a walk after a fine meal. read more

We decided to come here because my friend is flying back to Manila tomorrow and we wanted to have a nice send-off dinner. Another friend of ours had been wanting to try Bacari for a while, and since I always see this place packed, I thought this would be the perfect time to finally check it out. We didn't have reservations and were told the wait would be about an hour. The hostess was really nice though. After maybe 30 or 40 minutes, she let us know someone had canceled and we could be seated sooner. That part I appreciated. The vibe is honestly great. Dim lighting, cozy atmosphere, cool artwork on the walls, and a lively crowd. It feels trendy and energetic. I get why people like coming here. It feels like a place to hang out and talk for hours. Our server was awesome. Super accommodating and patient, especially since it was our first time and we had no clue what to order. Now the food. We ordered pasta, sea bass, salmon, and pita with dips. The pasta came out first. We actually thought it was an appetizer at first because of how it looked. It was good, flavor-wise. But the portion was really small. One person could have finished it in under two minutes. There were three of us sharing. Then came the sea bass. Same story. Tiny plate, small portion. It tasted okay. Nothing bad about it, but nothing memorable either. The salmon was similar. Decent, but very regular. Definitely not something I would crave again. A few nights before, we had salmon and sea bass at Joey in Woodland Hills, and that meal was honestly a 10 out of 10. This one felt like a 6 out of 10, and that's me being generous. My two friends actually said it was more like a 5. One of them even said our housekeeper makes better salmon at home, and we all kind of agreed. We left not really full and not really impressed. So here's my honest take. If you're coming for the vibe, it's great. If you're curious because it's always packed and there's hype around it, try it once. But if you're going mainly for the food or expecting generous portions, you might be disappointed. For us, it was probably a one-time experience. Great atmosphere. Very regular food. Very small servings. read more

Ambiance and service was great with Nikki. We came in for the DineLA experience . Food was ok but presentation was beautiful . We ordered: Espresso martini was great. Reminded me of a Vietnamese coffee with a light kick at the end 5/5 Bacarita with and without jalapeños. Both were well balanced . **side note: didn't feel a head change after 2 glasses though 5/5 Crudo was fresh and tasteful. There was too much spices on it for me. 4/5 Shakshouka was a bit bland 3/5 Smoked salmon pita was good 4/5 Potato tacos were good but a bit salty. Cilantro would've been great on it. Consistency was great 4/5 Chilequiles were too salty we couldn't finish it . Chips had great consistency 3/5 Vegan double chocolate cake was very rich fluffy and pairs well with a side of ice cream 4/5 Malabo is very rose water forward so if you're not into that this isn't for you. I thought it was a nice palette cleanser. It's different, fresh and well layered with texture and flavor 5/5 read more

I visited this Bacari location recently with my colleagues for dinner. It's a gorgeous space, absolutely worth the visit. The food was also delicious - I chose the glazed pork belly and the Asian pear & Brie pizza. (It went REALLY well together!) and I think I had a cider with. All delicious things. Our server was great - he let me pay my share separately so I could leave first. I always appreciate that kind of service. My only quibble, if you will, is that it was SO. DAMN. LOUD. in our section. Now, I'm not sure if it was the other tables around us, but it was so loud we could barely hear ourselves. It was also quite dark, but I've come to associate that with the Bacari experience as a whole (I've also visited the Silverlake location and it's just as dark there). Anyway, I'd totally come back. Maybe next time I'll sit outside. read more

Bacari Sherman Oaks - Asian Pear & Brie Pizza with Glazed Pork Belly - Mediterranean Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I will be raving about my experience at Bacari restaurant in Sherman Oaks...I frequent it quite often, many times celebrating a friend's birthday at the restaurant. This time, it was my Birthday and I wanted a special celebration. I reserved a table outside in a wonderful garden-type area and hired a bagpiper, securing advance permission from the restaurant. The Bagpiper arrived at the designated time, entered playing a traditional Scottish song,then made his way over to the table playing "Happy Birthday" to me, followed by Old Lang Syne. Lawence, the manager was most attentive and checked out our table a few times to make sure everything was going smooth; we had two servers that took care of our frequent requests...the food was exemplary, the atmosphere was 'chillin'....we spent three hours -which went by so fast....I can't imagine celebrating my birthday anywhere else. Bacari is a cut above most restaurants...their social media, emails and on site service is impeccable. Love Bacari - Love Lawrence! Thank you to everyone who helped to contribute to this girl for a wonderful Birthday Celebration! read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants as it has a great ambiance, stellar food and service. The ambiance is very warm, intimate and reminiscent of being in someone's home. Very cozy and nice. We have literally been happy with every single dish we have ever ordered. This includes the Sea Bass, Cauliflower, Asian Pear and Brie Pizza, Street Corn, Burrata Caprese, Stuffed mushrooms, Moroccan Cigars and "The Best Cake." I do want to shout out Lawrence for taking care of us. There was a bit of a snafu with our order, but he more than made up for it. I feel like other establishments would only apologize resulting in a lost customer, but Lawrence ensured we would come back time and time again. Regarding parking, if you don't mind a short walk there is plenty of parking (unlimited after 6) in the neighborhood. read more

such a great spot if you're looking for a Mediterranean Tapas this is your place. The quality is great and the food has so much flavor. We ordered a few things for the table to share such as the stuffed mushrooms, jidori chicken wings, the chicken schnitzel, and brie and pear pizza. I really appreciated how the food comes out pretty quickly so you can try a little bit of everything as you go, and lastly the service was lovely! shout out to our waiter Sharoo (not sure on spelling) but he was so nice and knowledgeable about the menu. I will definitely be back. read more

Came here recently for a holiday party. Have been to other locations and have always found the restaurants to be hip but have great drinks and food. This location was no different. Came early so ordered a mezcal margarita while I waited. Rink had a nice balance of smokiness with the saltiness from the margarita. Food wise we had a pre paid set meal. Lots of different food...brussel sprouts, ceviche , pear pizza, and some crsipy chicken wings. All options were made well and service and atmosphere were great. Loved the shareable plates and just overall good vibe. Worth a visit and would definitely recommend for a group... read more

We made reservations at Bacari Sherman Oaks. Originally we were going to dine at 6:30. We called and asked if we could dine sooner. We changed the reservation to 5:45. We arrived at a charming venue that featured outdoor dining with heating lamps and a separate bar with a fireplace. We were seated inside in a corner table overlooking the outside. The restaurant reminds me of a quaint French chateau with leaded glass windows. We were greeted by Ellie our waitress, she was friendly, knowledgeable and explained the menu. And we asked her questions regarding our choices. Our choices were some of her favorite dishes. She told us we would be sharing small Tapas plates. We ordered the Glazed Pork Belly, & Pork chop, that was sliced and delicious it was caramelized with pearl onion and Parmesan . We also ordered the Lamb Humus that was ground and braised with spiced Lebanese stew and hot fresh pita bread. We also ordered Chicken Schnitzel with whipped feta, arugula -mint salad that was absolutely delicious! Everything was delicious, we highly recommend, and we can't wait to go back! read more

We had excellent service and the food and drinks were amazing the Ambiance was good, our group had a great time

I finally made it to Bacari Sherman Oaks and it definitely lived up to the vibe. The ambiance? 10/10. It's one of those spots that instantly feels warm, intimate, and a little romantic -- perfect for a date night or catching up with friends. The candlelight, marble tables, and cozy setting just set the tone right away. A lot of people love the patio too, and I can see why. The food is all tapas-style, so everything is meant to share -- which I actually loved because you get to try a little bit of everything. The shrimp dish was super fresh and flavorful, and the bread with spreads was simple but really well done. The cocktails? Easily one of the highlights. That espresso-style drink with the foam on top was smooth, creamy, and dangerously good. Service was friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. That's something people consistently mention about this place -- the staff really makes you feel taken care of. Only thing to note: it can get a little loud when it's busy, especially indoors, so if you want something more low-key, I'd definitely recommend sitting outside. Overall, this is one of those places you go for the full experience -- good food, great drinks, and an even better vibe. I'd 100% come back and try more dishes. read more

This was my first time dining at this location. I have been to their other locations. I had a great experience dinning in this restaurant. I went for brunch and it was tapas. We ordered several plates to share, my favorite was chef's French toast. It was so yummy and flavorful. It was not too sweet and tasted really good. If you like shawarma, I recommend ordering Shawarma tacos . They were so delicious and perfectly seasoned. For drinks, I can say I really enjoyed my latte. It was not too sweet and tasted good. For service, our server was attentive and she kept checking on us. She even made recommendations on what to order and what were the popular items people usually order. For ambiance, this location has both indoor and outdoor seating area. When I visited, weather was perfect sunny and warm. Therefore, we sat outside and it looked like a little village with several trees. For parking, this location offers valet parking and also there is street parking available too. They also accept reservations. If you don't like to wait, I would recommend making a reservation in advance. read more

Had a lovely experience here! I came with my friend to enjoy their DineLA menu. It was $45 for a 4 course meal! I was thrilled to see they had some vegan options, with some of the dishes being default vegan while others could easily be veganized. My friend and I parked a couple of blocks away, although they do offer valet parking. I had made a reservation using Open Table and accidentally booked outside dining. Thankfully the host was able to switch it to inside dining, with just a little pushback. They told us the inside was completely booked, but there were still empty tables when we were leaving. The food itself was wonderful. I started with the kale salad, which had a lovely creamy tahini dressing and the kale was well massaged. Despite that the cheese was removed, it didn't feel like anything was missing! Next, I had the mujadara, veganized, which was just removing the egg. The lentil dish was so hearty and also perfectly spiced. I loved the crunchy texture of the dish. My last dish was the shawarma tacos which used a mushroom replacement to veganize it. This also had such a wonderful texture and the tahini sauce really melded the flavors well. My friend had ordered the Brussels sprouts dish but they didn't veganize it, so they brought us another one so that I could try it! I'm honestly not the biggest Brussels sprouts fan, but I thoroughly enjoyed their take on it! Lastly, we both had the vegan chocolate cake for dessert. It was so rich and indulgent with the softest gooiest texture! It was the perfect, satisfying way to end the meal. The waiters (we had two that assisted our table) were so friendly and accommodating and really made us feel taken care of. It made up for the rough start of checking in at the hostess stand! The restaurant also has such a lovely ambiance and I really felt transported to a Mediterranean country for the night! It's quaint, cozy and elegant! I highly recommend this restaurant and plan on returning sometime soon! read more

I didn't take very many pictures but everything about this place was magical, the outdoor seating, the food! My friend and I stayed there for over three hours talking and we weren't bothered. Everyone was kind and nice. I will definitely go back again. Definitely use valet parking because I ended up getting a ticket since I was talking so much and stayed longer than I thought. We ordered the avocado toast with smoked salmon, fries, crab cake Benedict, Brussel sprouts, cappuccino and latte. Started off with Vallformosa Florida Cava special toast to my new business. read more

Came here with my mom to celebrate my birthday and made reservations in advance which were definitely needed bc even though it was a weekday night, this place was packed. I would describe this place as better for the aesthetics / vibe compared to the food. Valet parking is the only available parking at the restaurant but there is metered parking on Ventura you can park at and walk. Service was fine. Grilled pita 4/5, good, little spicy but definitely overly salted Shawarma tacos 3/5, just ok, the tortilla was oddly neither soft shell or hard shell but this weird in between?? Brussel sprouts 3/5, just ok, soft and melted in your mouth but lacking any flavor (for me) but my mom loved this Bread pudding 5/5, oh this was our favorite! Very soft without being overpoweringly sweet read more

I reserved a table on Open Table through bacari's website a week earlier than our dinner. We planned for 7 people. A day before the reservation a got a text from a staff member asking confirmation and if our party sized changed. (Already impressed with communication.) Our table size changed and we were accommodated. Come dinner time, we arrive at the parking lot (street parking was lacking) and had to pay valet. I wish I had known this as all of us paid for parking which was $15 plus tip. But that's poor planning on our part. Valet was extremely efficient, and they do take card. There was a large group of people waiting to be checked in to the restaurant. Someone walked up and asked how long a wait for two was without reservations and the estimate was "at least one hour and a half" so do yourselves a favor and make a reservation. The outdoor space of this restaurant reminds me Blue Bayou in Disneyland. Cozy warm lanterns and beautiful vegetation, nice dark atmosphere. There is some brick floor and narrow hallways so if anyone wears heels just be mindful of your balance. :) Our waitress Sophia was the best wait service I've had in a long time. She double and triple checked with kitchen staff with our variety of modifications, allergies and requests and always came back with a pleasant smile. She deserves a raise. I ordered a "chill pill" drink. The lavender flavor wasn't too strong thankfully. It tasted more like cucumber. It was a bit watered down and over priced. Next time I will stick to straight liquor. The drink was $22. I ordered a vegan pizza. Whole roasted garlic and sautéed onions and other veg on a crispy flat bread. Delicious. The Salatim we shared was good but the warm pita that came with it was the highlight. The other five in my party shared many plates, as that is the recommended style of ordering on the menu. They loved their food. My friend got a bread pudding for her birthday. I shared some of the vegan chocolate cake. Tiny portion with the consistency of stodgy peanut butter and was also somehow a bit burnt. Not good at all. Paul Hollywood would cry. The ambiance is very dark so I had to use my phone light to see the menus, as such the photos I took aren't the best. The bathroom has a long line, was poorly stocked but smelled nice and looked pretty. You are directly on the corner of Hazeltine and Ventura Blvd and unfortunately there was car crash that happened. The valet staff was kind enough to warn us about it and direct us a different way to exit due to the amount of emergency apparatus around. All in all I enjoyed my meal, the drinks were okay and the dessert was passable. There was 20% gratuity, likely due to our large group, stacked on so be mindful when you're paying. For two vegan pizzas, two "chill pills", a vegan chocolate cake, a salatim and gratuity we paid $137. I can't wait to come back and try other things. Note: I didn't give five stars because it's always my preference to give 5 to only fully vegan restaurants. read more

There was valet parking when we arrived but we found street parking pretty easily. This is a cute spot. Has a nice little village vibe. A bit fancy too, you even have a choice of water. The one glaring thing is during dinner hours there was very little light as the tables were all candlelit. I can understand this for romantic dinners but even then you could barely see the menus lol. We each had to use a phone light to read the menu. Our first server explained it as family style but advised to choose 2-3 plates per person. Because the portions are pretty small. Every server serves all tables but it felt like it takes a bit longer that way. We ordered the Mac n cheese, chipotle chicken wings, chicken sliders, bacari burger, bacari fries, sharma tacos, asian pear & brie pizza. A small as the portions are, the food was really good. And the servers were very hospitable. Thank you! read more

The food and drinks are ok, the drink was pretty strong. Lamb shakshouka pizza was a 6.5/10, there was barely any lamb or cheese on it.
