   Came here for New Years Eve. Our second time visiting. Unfortunately, they were clearly understaffed or something because the service was not great. Our waiter disappeared after greeting us and we were not able to order for about 15 minutes. We ordered a bottle of wine and 5 plates (one cold and four hot). First out was the pork belly. Then several minutes later, the Mac and cheese and falafel. Then several minutes later, the salad/cold dish. At this point the wine has still not arrived, despite our meal being mostly over. The wine finally arrived and the server (different person) quickly pours out two glasses and walks away. No waiting to let us taste it or anything — it’s not like we need the fancy wine taste moment or anything but it is standard practice so it felt slightly odd. Anyway our last dish, cauliflower, didn’t come out for an additional 25-30 minutes after that. I had to ask the server about it twice, both times I was told “it will be out soon.” And we also had to ask for our check twice before we actually got it. Also, one of the heat lamps ran out of fuel and no one did anything to fix it plus they lost the leftovers of the people sitting next to us lol. Taste and presentation-wise, the food was all great. TL;DR food and drinks came out in the wrong order and took a long time.

   Went on New Year’s Eve for an early birthday Celebration. Service and food was amazing!!! Everyone in my party enjoyed every plate that was brought. There was no food item that we did not enjoy. Servers were amazing and attentive. Great experience and food!

   Atmosphere was really cool. Parking was challenging. Food was pretty good but kinda pricey for the value. Server ruined the birthday surprise, mentioned it after we paid and were getting up to leave… (despite me mentioning it to 3 different people)

   Food was good, nothing crazy. Ambience is excellent. The service and food runners not great. A food runner asked my to hold a plate for him while he was servicing a table next to me, another one threw the bowl down when delivering and ran off with no acknowledgement, the waitress forgot forks, our pasta dish, the wine. Fortunately we're easy going but wasnt great service.

   Didn’t like the fact that the tables were so close together so if you tried to have a conversation you would have to speak loudly (which is why we heard more of our neighbors conversation more than ours). We had the brussel sprouts, rainbow beets, margarita pizza, beef cheek…everything but the beets were overseasoned and spicy…the pizza was topped off with salt and YES, it was VERY salty. When your food is competing with so many spices, you don’t taste the food…you only taste the spices. My husband’s drink had jalapeño but that’s all you tasted cause that too was very spicy. I had the bacarita and the watermelon garnish (I kid you not) was rubbery like an eraser. We definitely would not go back and it definitely was not worth the price. Service was sub par

    We went for my father's birthday. He's tough to please and he was very happy with the experience at Bacari. The ambiance was beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious and the staff was very attentive. I'll be back.
