We had a wonderful experience and our server was exceptional. We visited from out of town and had very few options for dinner on Christmas. Bari exceeded our expectations and we once again were beyond impressed with the food and service.

Great selection and value for Christmas Eve dining! Wonderful rich lobster bisque with chunks of meat to start,followed by an 8oz filet mignon with crabmeat lumps. Other great choices as well. Personal service by U.T., our smiling waiter. Excellent wine choices with a wide price range. We had a nice quiet booth and went early before it got too busy. Impressive.

First time eating there food and service was excellent. Not a large place so it was a little noisy. A little pricey but in line for the quality of the food.Three of us had the Red Snapper and one had the Pork Chop they were all cooked perfectly and the Pork Chop was huge easily enough for two people. I had the Santa Cruz sauce and my wife had the Pontchartrain sauce both were excellent. Will definitely be back.
