We had a great time at your restaurant celebrating Mother's Day with my family. It was our first time at this location. It is a great setup with part of the restaurant is on a side of a hill. Very forest like and IMO a very unique experience... 10++++ Very nice. The food and drinks were great. Lots of great tapas type options. The staff were very friendly and service was excellent.

Came to Bacari Silver Lake for an early dinner with friends and had such a great time. Honestly one of the best group dinners I’ve had in a while. The vibe is lively but still relaxed, perfect for sharing plates and just hanging out. Tina was our server and she was amazing. My friends had been there a bunch of times so we already knew what we wanted, but she still made the experience feel really taken care of. She was super friendly, attentive, and had perfect timing all night. Drinks were always refilled, plates cleared quickly, and everything just flowed so smoothly because of her. We started with the house baked baguette and garlic olive oil, which was simple but really fresh and flavorful. The flat iron steak with grilled zucchini and béarnaise was cooked perfectly, and the handmade tripoline pasta with pasilla pepper cream and almond romesco was a standout. The bacari fries with BCN sauce and a fried egg are a must order. Noa’s cauliflower had great flavor with a nice kick, and the mac and cheese with five cheese fondue and truffle oil was rich and super satisfying. The glazed pork belly was tender and packed with flavor, and the margherita pizza with added salami was fresh and done right. We also had a few Bacaritas and those were refreshing with just the right balance of sweet and spice. Everything was great, but Tina really made the night. Would absolutely come back and would request her again.

Had such a great birthday brunch at Bacari Silverlake. We shared 8 small plates between 3 people, and it was the ideal amount. The shakshouka and chilaquiles were excellent brunch choices, while the Bacari fries, burgers, wings, and cauliflower were all packed with flavor. The patio atmosphere was fantastic, and our dog felt right at home. Highly recommend for brunch and special occasions.

Had an excellent dinner here my final night visiting LA last weekend. This is an enormous restaurant, with both a large interior and charming outdoor area up some (pretty tricky!) steps. Service was excellent, very friendly and helpful in terms of guiding some menu choices. And the ambience on the patio at night can't be beat. Enjoyed the following dishes: lamb hummus - braised ground lamb, spiced lebanese stew, crudites, sesame, tahini, fresh pita - excellent, very rich! shawarma tacos - chicken pargiyot, shredded cabbage, pickled red onion, sesame, garlic tahini - quite good as well, nice combo of textures and flavors jidori chicken wings - buttermilk batter, smoked pepper sauce, blue cheese creme fraiche, scallion - excellent as well, but surprisingly spicy so watch out! sea bass - pan seared, charred shishito, corn, shallot, tomato, tarragon aioli, pomegranate molasses, grilled lemon - superb as well, loved the sweet flavors of the corn with the sea bass and aioli, and the little bit of smoky flavor from the peppers Highly recommended.

This restaurant is very eclectic from the decoration to the furniture and the atmosphere. It reminded me of Berkeley in Northern California. The Chi Achilles were really good but on the spicy side. The Shuka was not good and it appeared that there was too much oregano in the mix as well as cumin. The tomatoes were definitely not fresh and straight out of a can. The coffee (latte) was good.
