    The Christmas decorations were really cute and very festive. The food was good, it was just unfortunate that they didn’t have the things we wanted to try.

    It was okay overall. We've been to their other location on W 3rd, which we found much better. At this property, we waited at least 20 minutes before anyone took our drink or food order. Realizing the delay, we decided to order everything at once. The space is quite small, and the noise level was overwhelming. In hindsight, we wish we had requested a table outside in the back, where it was noticeably quieter. After our food arrived, we had to wait a long time to catch the waiter’s attention to get the bill. At that point, I noticed one item on the bill that had never been served. When I pointed it out, the waiter said it would be right out, but the timing of everything was completely off. It wasn’t the best evening out, but at least it was inexpensive.

    As per usual, before going to a play at the Ahmanson Theatre, we had a great tapas and unlimited Sangria meal at Bacari Adams. The service was excellent, the food was great and the beautiful Winter Wonderland decor really put us in the holiday mood!!

    We came for a late brunch during the holiday pop up on my birthday and loved it! There were so many great options to choose from and share, and the decorations made it very cozy inside. Would definitely come back to try more of their dinner items!

    Portions are small for brunch. More of a tapas style menu. Service was amazing! The drinks including mocktails were so delicious! The holiday theme is the cutest!

    Small plates were a great option for my larger group. Everything was delicious and everyone had a chance to get a taste of all our dishes.

    We love Bacari and have been to Silverlake, Glendale and now your location. Unfortunately there was a restaurant full of college kids out for the night and we were sat next to a giant table of young guys having fun. There was a young man at the end of a long table about 2 inches from my chair and his friends kept coming up to walk over and chat and lean over my wife and I. Definitely not a pleasant dining experience at all at first. We were able to move over to the back outside corner when a table opened and eventually the students left and it was great. Nothing against the kids being there but it just made it not so great, actually bad at first. That said, your waitstaff, host, and security were all super friendly and understanding and helpful - so, they turned a rough start into a nice evening and the food is always fantastic so that made up for it too. Had I known we'd be put in the middle back against the alley next to that big table I wouldn't have come and would rather have been told it was booked being that full. But, overall, I'm glad it worked out. My wife and I felt for the staff as they say it happens often. I think they just need to manage it a little better. Not sure what they can do but it seemed like there were lots of tables of college kids having a drink and appetizers. I didn't see full dinners unless they ate earlier. I wouldn't want them to turn business down and I'm glad the kids have a place to go, but I think the host could ask them to be seated and be respectful in the nice environment they've created. It's not a frat party after all. We'll be back as again, the staff and food made it worthwhile, but we will avoid and call in the future to make sure it's not 'college night'.

    French toast took too long to come out and was the last plate served. We had to flag our server for service. Overall the food is good, but the service needs some attention. Could be understaffed, bit I would still come back

    The food here is absolutely delish! But hands down, what sets this restaurant apart is its hospitality! The front house staff took care of us from the time we walked in until the time we walked out (2 hours). The manager G was phenomenal. And the Chefs made some dietary accommodation to ensure no cross contamination with food due to a seafood allergy. I mean, nothing short of accommodating! We had a wonderful brunch experience at Bacari!
