    My friend brought me here for a sunday birthday brunch. I've been to the one in Culver and I absolutely love it. This location is super cute. I love the layout way better than culver's. You walk through this long dark hallway and it opens up to the patio. The patio is amaizng because it's mostly covered by trees so the majority of the patio is shaded. On the right is their indoor area. I'd say the indoor area is slightly bigger than the outdoor but by not much. Now I went Sunday at 1:30P and it was packed. Luckily we made reservations. We got seated at the one table that was directly in the sun, but they were nice enough to move us. We ordered the following: Bacon Wrapped Dates: Enough said. Delicious! Brussel Sprouts: Super crispy.. the only way to eat them. But also, it's DOUSED with oil so sometimes it feels like your drinking oil Bacari Pancake: OMG this was DELICIOUS! Highly recommend. I'm not big on heavy butter, but their cardamom butter was sooooo goood. Crab Cake Benedict: This was doused with sauce. You couldn't even see the crab cake. I thought i was good. Just a LOT of sauce. I also got a cocktail. It was a vodka coffee cocktail. They always get their drinks right here. It's not too sweet. A good balance! Overall, food is solid. The reason why I give 4 stars rather than 5 is actually because of the atmosphere. As cute as this location is, I feel like they really try to cram as many tables as possible in this space. You're so close to the other tables, and it's hard to squeeze through to get in and out. Because of that, it's so loud in there. It felt like I had to talk over the people next to us, and service can be a little slow since all the servers are running around so much tending to so many tables.

    Shawarma Tacos
    Jasmine D.

    My dad was in town for work so I brought him to Bacari for some delicious sharable dishes! We didn't have a reservation but were able to be seated immediately on a weekday evening, which was a pleasant surprise. I absolutely love the ambiance here! There's both indoor and outdoor patio seating - the patio is definitely the highlight. It's so beautiful with the tree cover above and feels like a magical, cozy courtyard. Service was great throughout our meal as well. The dishes are on the small size which is great for sharing and trying a variety of items! What we tried: - Scallop medallions: 3 scallops in a carrot parsnip puree with capers - the scallops were cooked perfectly - golden crisp on the outside and soft on the inside - Lamb hummus: this might have been my favorite!! A flavorful braised ground lamb paired with hummus and fresh pita and veggie pieces - Sea bass: pan seared sea bass (sooo soft and flaky!) with a savory corn, shredded cabbage, shallot, and aioli combination - Shawarma tacos: chicken sharwama, shredded cabbage, and pickled red onion tacos. Not bad but probably the one dish I could have skipped - Stuffed mushrooms: sooo yummy - mushrooms stuffed with a cheesy walnut pesto, just a perfectly savory - Glazed pork belly: so hearty! Perfectly glazed and seasoned pork belly

    Rainbow Beets

    Like comically bad. The food is sooo mid and service was pretty bad. We had a large group and a whole room to ourselves and the servers kept bumping our table, forgetting dishes, etc. Only halfway decent dishes were the rainbow beets appetizer and sea bass. The famed date cake was way too sweet.

    A Hallway to Heaven possibly? We'll see what my date thinks....

    Sometimes people get mad at you, through no fault of your own. Sure you can try reason and logic to remedy such situations but a person's emotions often trump such silly attempts. So what can one do when they are scoffed at for trying to think like an adult, instead of like a child? You bribe them, sometimes with money and other times, like tonight, with dinner and a good time. So that's how I found myself here at Bacari on W 3rd. Sure, the food is ok but it was the ambience that I needed tonight. Myself and 'The Angry One' were walked to our table in the garden just as the sun was starting to set for the night, highlighting the candlelight flames dancing along the walls. Her cold disposition was starting to melt away slowly but surely. We looked at our menu but I had been here before so I was not fooled by the prices of the dishes; the prices may be entree prices but this is a tapas restaurant. So I preceded to order 4-5 dishes.... just for myself. In a matter of minutes our small and intimate table was filled with shrimp ceviche, green falafel, caramelized cauliflower, shawarma tacos, scallop medallions, flat iron steak, bacari fries, a lamb shakshouka pizza, glazed pork belly and tripoline pasta to top it all off. I did most of the eating and to tell the truth I could have still gone for a bacon wrapped hotdog from the street vendor outside. Unsatisfied hunger aside, by the time dinner was done, that anger that was pointed directly at me like a nuclear missile had all but dissipated and I knew that by the end of the night, it will have completely been extinguished. Stay bribing people when logic and reason no longer work my friends....

    Skinny entrance- plain food. Just get beets

    After the tricky parking + slow 5pm service but seeing how people flock- the BEETS stole the show. WINGS WERE WACK THEY LOOK SHINY BUT THEY TASTE LIKE cheap Chinese restaurant chewy wings I was super disappointed Ive had thousands from many many places.

    Chicken Schnitzel
    Bridgette R.

    Today I had the pleasure of eating at Bacari W 3rd. It's a cute restaurant and if you blink you will miss the entrance. The staff was nice and was rotating and helping at all tables and the food came out super fast, the Bacari Fries are a must try and the chicken schnitzel is very good. The drinks are good and the vibe in vibing

    One of the vibiest LA restaurants. Great vibes and always stylish people! Wonderful place to have a taco Tuesday. Their service is very fast and good. Foods are tapas style, try as many as possible, everything is so flavorful and yummy. Even with reservation, there is still waiting, but totally worth it.

    Dario was a great server but he had a ton of tables. Not sure how he did it. All the food is so tasty! Drinks took a long time to come out but we still had a great time.

    Bacari is amazing. I booked valentines reservations here, but was silly and accidentally booked it to a different Bacari location. The hostess was SO nice and gave us options to sit at the bar which was great. She could tell I felt bad and she brought me a free prosecco which was sooo kind of her. I really liked sitting at the bar, Super spacious and great lighting. The best service and it was nice having the bartenders right In front of us. The food here is insane. Yes the portions are small since they are tapas but they pack in SO MUCH FLAVOR. My boyfriend and I ordered 8 all vegetarian dishes cause we were super hungry and we finished 7/8 of them. My favorite is the mujadara and the pear pizza but honestly everything was good. I thought the street corn would be simple but it was one of the most flavorful dishes we got!! Also loved the pasta!! Cooked perfectly, I wish we got another!! If you're not vegan, I would skip the vegan chocolate cake, it was very chewy and dense with a weird flavor. But the ice cream saved it. Service was incredible. This is the 2nd year they have made our Valentine's Day super special.

    Potential for 5 stars but the food just takes insanely long to come out; it can be frustrating. Other than that, i love the spanish courtyard-esque ambiance. It's gorgeous inside but definitely very loud so probably not a first-date spot. Stuffed Mushrooms: BEST THING ANYONE CAN EVER EAT EVER. We got two rounds of them because they're just that good. They're filled with cheese & have this pesto garlic sauce on them it's just 100/10 Margarita Pizza: Pretty good pizza. Thin crust. comes hot & cheesy. i loved it. 7/10 The steak filet: So tender & comes with zucchini 10/10 Shrimp Ceviche: Served with fresh tortilla chips, the shrimp ceviche is pretty solid!! Very citrusy & fresh 8/10 Bread Pudding: It comes served so hot with nice cold vanilla ice cream on top. 7/10 I will be coming back FOR SURE.

    First time here with a large group. Low parking options so I recommend valet. I also recommend reservations. This is a hidden gem. It is obvious by the crowds, this is a popular place. It is indoor/outdoor with natural kool vibe and ambiance. It is pretty loud though. Gender neutral bathrooms. Food is Tapas style. We got a ton of food and literally Everything we had was Amazing! Service was on point. We had the perfect person, "Justin" who took great care of all 7 of us. Never missed a beat, very friendly, courteous and attentive. Excellent customer service despite the countless other very busy tables he had. This was a great place to create memories. Thank Justin for making it GREAT!

    Asian pear & Brie pizza
    Madeleine B.

    We came on a weekend evening and had no trouble making a reservation. It was quiet when we arrived at around 6, but by 7 it was busy and crazy loud. Definitely sit outside so you can hear everyone! They told us to order a couple dishes to share because portions are smaller, which is true. We ordered the noa's cauliflower, Asian pear & Brie pizza, and the shrimp ceviche. Maybe it was what we ordered, but nothing stood out to me. Food was meh, and it was super loud to the point where we left early because we couldn't hear each other. It's a trendy spot but neither the food nor ambience did it for me.

    Chef's French Toast
    Prisma ..

    Bacari has a really solid brunch menu. Their French toast comes highly recommended and it didn't disappoint, crisp edges and soft almost goeey interior. The Lamb Hummus was is also a great option for a more savory dish. You have pieces of ground lamb that sit on top while you scoop up your hummus with their pita bread. We also shared their shawarma tacos - those were okay, nothing special and wouldn't order again. They have a lavender latte with housemade syrup that was an absolute delight!

When we arrived the host was friendly and walked us over to our table with a smile. Then our server came over and let me tell she was the most happy and friendliest server that we have ever experienced in our dining experience. Marlene approached us with "happy Friday" and spark up a quick conversation of why we were visiting. She made us feel welcomed immediately and excited about being there. We had a few questions about the menu and she was able to guide us through the menu with ease. She recommended things we hadn't tried before and for every dish that came out she would tell us the best way the chef would like us to enjoy them. I mean the service was impeccable. She was super sweet with my mother who is a bit older and sometimes is indecisive with food and drinks. But she was so patient with her and sweet to help her choose a wine and items on the menu that she end up loving. My mother couldn't stop talking about her on the way home. Every dish that came to our table was amazing and the drinks were super tasty. Hummus, crudo, prawns and dorado are a must. At the end we trusted her to choose dessert for us.

Afterwards, when it was time to pay the bill they "accidentally" added a $315 bottle of wine on our bill which we did not order. This definitely impacted our overall experience negatively.

The soltani kabob was to die for; the flavors in the beef barg and koobideh were so rich and cooked to perfection. The mastery of these dishes was absolutely on display.

I also had a bit of the lamb shank which was really flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the baghali polo. The yogurt soda was a bit of an acquired taste for me, but I'm happy to have tried it for the full experience. We finished off our delicious meal with a floral and sweet Persian ice cream wafer sandwich. The portions were enormous, so we left feeling full with leftovers to look forward to! We came on a lively weekday evening. They don't do reservations, but we were warmly greeted and quickly seated with lavash and butter on our table immediately. The restaurant has a beautiful and romantic atmosphere, with hybrid indoor/outdoor courtyard dining. Our waiter was attentive and made us feel very welcomed. I'd give this restaurant more than 5 stars if I could!
