The four of us were very impressed with our dinner at Bacari 3rd st. Every dish that came out was delicious, we particularly noted the brussels sprouts and the lamb hummus as well as the mushroom pizza. A must have is “the best cake” with ice cream. Our cocktails were well made and the service was very attentive. And to top it off, receiving the check wasn’t painful. Fun outdoor atmosphere and would definitely go again. Thank you!

I recently dined at Bacari PDR and had an amazing experience that I just have to share! The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a treat, and it's clear that the chefs put a lot of care into their creations. 🍽️ The service was equally impressive, with the staff being attentive and friendly throughout the meal. They made sure we felt welcome and well taken care of. While it did take a little longer than expected for our drinks to arrive, the overall experience more than made up for it. The staff's warm demeanor and the quality of the food truly stood out. If you're looking for a place with fantastic food and excellent service, I highly recommend giving Bacari PDR a try. It's definitely worth the visit! 🍷✨
