I have never written a review, but 10/10 so good - I must speak on this. I audible gasped when I tried the beef cheek, and I had the best espresso martini ever.

The Bacari restaurants are my LA go to. Tonight I brought family who had been to other locations but never to Silverlake. What a magical place it is, especially during the holidays. It was festive, the food was great, the server was fun and patient. Those folks work so hard in a location like this that is busy and multi leveled, serving a lot of different plates and knowing a large and varied menu. We were impressed with all of them. Loved our meal and our dining experience.
