We ended our 2024 HRW experience at Bacaro Kitchen & Wine Bar on a high note and we couldn’t be happier! Bacaro is a very intimate, comfy spot with excellent food and service. Ashly provided great service, giving us a great wine recommendation. The HRW menu was outstanding. My friend and I both started with the Bacaro House Salad which was a light and refreshing start to our meal. I chose the Salmon Salmoriglio and she had the Chicken Picatta. Both entrees were well-prepared, generously-sized, and most importantly, delicious! We both chose the Double Chocolate Mousse Cake for dessert, which was a perfect end to a wonderful meal. Bacaro is a great spot for delicious food, great wine selection, and a neighborhood spot ambiance. Highly recommend!
