Bacari GDL

OMG! We had fried chicken sliders, bacari fries which was served with a sunny side up egg on top of the fries, salmon, sea bass, stuffed mushrooms, and brussels sprouts. Everything tasted so good! I don't even like brussels sprouts but these were yummy! The only thing that was ok was the bread pudding I had for dessert. Maybe it was because I asked for it to be extra hot when served and possibly that dried it out. Food came to the table as it was finished in the kitchen. Tapas size. Good size portions for 2 people to share. I would definitely return to this restaurant when I am in Los Angeles again.

What a nice cozy little place to stop in for a few drinks. A very relaxing space to catch up with friends or a date. The bar is a great place to sit and order drinks. A very extensive selection of spirits to choose from. The mixologist was friendly and the drinks are reasonably priced.

Absolutely favorite place!!! Love sharable tapas style dishes. One can't skip Bacari fries with egg and aioli sauce. My favorite there are scallops, lamb kabob, chicken sliders were new on the menu (wasn't crazy about sauce tasted weird) but crispy chicken was very good. Also fish is always a good choice there, beet salad is amazing.

What a treat. The shrimp ceviche was good. It had big chunks of tomatoes and tasted fresh. The chips were dusted with some deliciousness. The glazed pork belly was some of the best I’ve ever had. The edges were super crispy while the inside was liquid. It was the exact texture that you’re looking for in pork belly. The brussels sprouts were also a winner. I really like the fact that they were not overly sweet but we’re well seasoned. The Asian pear and brie pizza was a little bit unfortunate. I asked them to sub mozzarella for brie, and there was very little cheese on the pizza. The crust was thin and more like a tortilla, which would’ve been fine if the whole thing wasn’t so wet and soggy. Also, it’s the tiniest pizza you’ve ever seen for $14. We order to beverages as well, and our total came to $67. Don’t be surprised when you see a 4% service fee on your ticket. You can ask to have it removed, but I didn’t because it clearly states that it pays for health insurance for the employees. I asked the girl who brought our ticket, if they did, indeed provide her health insurance, to which she stated no. That sounded kind of dodgy, so I probably would not pay that extra 4% in the future. As for recommending this restaurant, the answer is yes. I would definitely go back for the short ribs, but pass on the pizza.

Lovely tapas food, delicious and healthy! The wait time was a bit long, but the ambient was nice, service was good, food was amazing and portions were just right! You won't feel heavy after eating at this restaurant.

My favorite was the spicy shrimp, it was fresh with enough chili oil as I love it! Others ordered burger and scallops and liked the dishes very much. We shared the smoked mushroom pizza. It was Ok, missing a key ingredient like truffle oil or some hero element in the taste. It was a bit bland.

Overall, we really enjoyed our time at this restaurant. The outdoor seating was fun and cozy (with heaters) and food was great. The food is not greasy or heavy, so you feel good after eating here. I'd definitely want to come back next time I'm in LA to try other items in the menu (e.g. falafels). They had a very exciting menu!
