"Loved the experience here and it’s largely gonna be because of our server, Bailey. The food is great and the place is pretty though! The spicy bacarita was yummy. We enjoyed everything we ordered: sea bass, pork belly, apple Brie pizza, steak, and the chocolate cake w/ ice cream. It was an additionally great experience because Bailey was very knowledgable and anticipated things we didn’t consider so our ordering and our meal was a completely smooth ride. We left full and happy and forgot to take a picture together because we were just on a high. One star off on atmosphere that really isn’t Bacardi’s fault but while the outdoor seating was pretty and cozy, the street sounds got kinda intense."

"We had a table of six and ate outside and it was very pleasant. It's a little tricky understanding the menu if it's your first time. They are considered small plates but some people don't eat a whole lot either. Look around at the other tables to get an idea, if it's your first time there."

"We tried the flat iron steak, pork chop, tripoline pasta, and brussels sprouts, and every single dish was amazing. Every bite was phenomenal and made the whole experience even better. Our server Anibal was so kind and friendly, too! We ended our meal with the bread putting 10/10! Will definitely be dreaming of it until next time. Can’t wait to come back when we visit LA again."

"We had a three course meal during LA restaurant week and wow this spot is divine. I can’t wait to come again! I my partner, and I shared every single course and so I can confirm the taste is spectacular throughout and after you eat, go behind the restaurant because there is an incredible park full of amazing shops and a water show plus, I also used valet - they actually washed and vacuumed the interior for an excellent price!"

"The food at Bacari was truly delicious – every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. However, the pacing of the service could be improved. We were told that the dishes would be served one by one, but instead most of them came out at the same time. As a result, by the time we got to the later dishes, they had already gone cold. It would have been a much better experience if the courses had been spaced out as originally promised."

"Phenomenal experience. The pork chop was the best pork chop we've ever had, hummus set was amazing - pita bread was the best - never seen a pita bread that was puffed up! The sea bass was great. Austin (who's not from Texas) was so excellent and so wonderful. Every rec he gave was really the best and we can't wait to come again. 100/10 recommend this spot hehe"
