Great neighborhood restaurant in a good location. The service was impeccable including the employees who helped with my elderly mother and her walker. Our waiter was attentive but not intrusive. The food was fabulous and dishes were made with imagination, for example the brussels sprout salad. Excellent. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Houston.

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.

We went on Christmas Eve, and the place was a raucous cacophony of family. The waitstaff was in the weeds all night, and if you were in a hurry, you were going to be disappointed. I highly recommend it. The food was excellent, the service outstanding, and the crowd was appropriately festive for the happy celebration that is Christmas.

We had a great dining experience on Christmas Eve! The hostess, waitress and valet staff were top notch and very attentive! Our drinks were tasty, cold & strong! The food was fantastic- we had avocado dip and deviled eggs for appetizers and the Ahi Tuna Salad and Blackened Redfish entrees. Loved the ambiance and decor too!
