    Took a friend who had never been before, he was very impressed. Is going to come back for a Sunday brunch. Our server was absolutely amazing. She interacted with us and it made for excellent service. Very attentive yet gave us time to have an appetizer and social beverage before taking our order. Her name is Joanna.🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Bacari GDL is hands down my favorite restaurant in L.A.! If you haven’t tried this place, you’re truly missing out. The food is consistently excellent every time I visit, and the ambience is both hip and incredibly fun. The staff here is exceptional—they make you feel like the most important guest, even when the place is packed. A special shoutout to Christian, Cal, and Gee—thank you for being such wonderful people. Your kindness and attentiveness always stand out. Oh, did I mention they are funny as well? I’m already looking forward to my next visit—see you all tomorrow!
