We had a table of six and ate outside and it was very pleasant. It's a little tricky understanding the menu if it's your first time. They are considered small plates but some people don't eat a whole lot either. Look around at the other tables to get an idea, if it's your first time there.

The food at Bacari was truly delicious – every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. However, the pacing of the service could be improved. We were told that the dishes would be served one by one, but instead most of them came out at the same time. As a result, by the time we got to the later dishes, they had already gone cold. It would have been a much better experience if the courses had been spaced out as originally promised.

Great tapas spot in a super busy area. I would highly recommend making reservations before you visit. We went before a show at the Alex theatre and everything we had was delish! We eat a lot and ordered the watermelon salad, beet salad, octopus, beef pita, sirloin steak .... we were still hungry so we then ordered the shawarma tacos and glazed pork belly. There were two of us and we polished everything off and had room for desert! We got the pistachio desert (don't remember the name) and it was really good. Would definitely come back if we come by this area again.

I absolutely love Bacari GDL at the Americana in Glendale! The vibe and the atmosphere are just fantastic, especially the beautiful outdoor patio with the fire pits—it's such a perfect setting for a date night. I always focus on their amazing small plates, or cicchetti, because they are designed to be shared. The service is always so friendly and helpful, too. I had three absolute must-order dishes here. I started with the savory Lamb Hummus; it’s rich, deeply flavorful, and the best way to kick off the meal. For a main, the incredibly satisfying Fried Chicken Sliders are a huge hit. But you must save room for dessert. Finishing the night with their Pistachio Cremeschnitte is mandatory for me; it’s creamy, perfectly sweet, and the ideal way to cap off a wonderful meal. Bacari GDL is truly one of my favorite spots in Glendale!

Delicious tapa’s and drinks! Everything I got was amazing!! Not pictured is the sea bass which had an incredible taste profile, I ate the whole thing. Service was wonderful as well!

Josiah was our waiter and was above & beyond outstanding. He made sure our orders were correct and that our meal was to satisfaction. He offered if it wasn't then he'd make sure it was fixed. He was extremely friendly bc of him I'd return if I was back in town. The menu is different than I'm used to. Its basic one item, no sides. This makes it a Lil more pricey than normal but the food was really delicious. I had the sea bass and Brussel sprouts. I don't even like Brussel sprouts and they were really fantastic. Atmosphere outside had a ambiance was fantastic. Heaters available. All the staff that I interacted with were very pleasant. This was my first time here and I live in North Carolina. I would highly recommend for a friends night out, eating solo or looking for a date night spot.

The best place to enjoy the ambiance and food. Go here with your loved one or by yourself, it will not disappoint you. Our server, Madison, was the sweetest and she took care of us very well. Very welcoming staff. Okay enough about the amazing staff, the food here is mind blowing as well. Like every dish that we ordered turned out to be just mouth watering. I never knew foodgasm until I felt it today. Definitely try the stuffed mushroom, apple and Brie pizza. The drinks were great too. A little overpriced but I guess it’s worth it!?

As always, Bacari delivers great food and great service! Jeff was the best and took great care of us. As someone with a gluten allergy, I was assured what we ordered was not only delicious, but also safe for me to eat. Perfect date night spot with good drinks, chill vibes and amazing food.

The new food items are amazing epecially the schnitzel! Although the beef burrow took a little longer than expected it was really good! 10 outta 10! The food for the most part is tapas style so they come out when prepared! Agnes, I apologize for my friend being, "saucy" because she clearly hadn't experienced an a tapas style cuisine before! She just wanted us to eat together since we ordered different items! Hence me being a Veg Head and she's a Meat Head but we sampled everything! I set her straight girl don't you worry cause I don't do friends that talk to servers or bartenders crazy!! Have some decorum! You were great though, super sweet, explained the menu thoroughly and recommended some gems!! I was too caught up in the moment to take photos but we will be back! Thank you again Agnes for being so kind and poised!

Bacari is one of my favorite local restaurants -- I normally go to the Sherman Oaks location. Sometimes when you go to a different location of a restaurant, the quality doesn't match what you're used to; not the case with Bacari - my favorites from the Sherman Oaks location still hit the same here in Glendal! My go-to is always the braised pork belly. It's perfect. I order 2 of them. Then, it's the ceviche; and I call it a night with something from the rotating cocktail list. However, the rest of my group needed MORE! So, they ordered the sliders, the schnitzel, the street corn, the burrata, the brussels sprouts -- all reportedly, and visibly delicious -- not a scrap was left on any of the plates. The service is great too. It's not slow; they give you space to talk, to savor, and they don't rush you out. For Glendale specifically, the outdoor seating vibe is hectic and busy with lots of traffic noise and honking etc. The inside is very small so it gets cramped. I'm not sure which is better or worse. But, just consider what you'd prefer when making a reservation. And yes, for chilly. nights there are plenty of warmers in the outdoor seating area.

I came here to spend some quality time with my lovely ladies - Te-See & Rose. Bacari is known for its stunning décor. However, this location is not as elaborate, especially the outside dining area, which is a covered area on the sidewalk. It's great for people watching though. (I did sneak a peek inside. It's cozy with a woodsy cabin feel and lively artwork on the walls.) Our server Cat was fantastic. She went above and beyond to deliver excellent service. She also had a warm & friendly personality. We started with a round of Bacaritas and shared the Asian Pear & Brie pizza. There was a slight mishap with one drink order and to make up for it Cat brought us each a complimentary glass of bubbly, so we raised a toast to our guest of honor. The Bacarita was a tasty refresher. I liked how the fresh watermelon balanced out the spiciness of the Jalapeño. The pizza was also a delight on the palate. A light, crispy crust topped with thinly sliced pear, a guava fromage Blanc, wild arugula, a sprinkling of Maldon salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. For dessert we shared The Best Cake and the Bread Pudding. The bread pudding contained a clover honey custard and was topped with fresh vanilla bean ice cream. It was delicious! The Best Cake was comprised of Medjool dates, brown sugar caramel, and topped with crispy bacon. I tried a section without the bacon, and it was good. The ladies loved it. Most of all we had a wonderful evening together, and our server Cat made it extra special. *Metered street parking or the parking lot at the Americana.

This was not my first "Bacari rodeo"...However, it was my first time at this location and I have to agree with the other reviewers...Every server, the hostess and managers were AMAZING! Drum roll please...Te-see's pick for "Best overall Service...Bacari GDL! I made my reservation on Open Table for a birthday celebration for 3 @4pm on a Sunday. Francesca, the hostess, greeted me when I arrived first. She was so friendly and welcoming. We had the perfect 4 top out on the patio. Our server Cat, was THE BEST!!! She was adorable and made sure our experience here was nothing short of perfect. We all ordered the Bacari Margarita, 2 spicy, and mine not spicy:) It took a couple of tries to get mine right, but Cat made sure they got it right for little ole me... We shared the Pear Pizza which is one of their staple items on the menu...SOOO GOOD! The birthday girl shared "special day" desserts with us: *The Best Cake (YUM) & Bread Pudding (also YUM) The inside area is small but open concept, high ceilings & the bar on the right side of the restaurant. The outdoor patio was much larger with heaters ready for anyone feeling chilly. *Located next to Fridas on Brand Ave - NOT in the Americana *Street parking or in the lot at the Americana Definitely will be back here!

Ambiance: this Bacari restaurant is located outside the Americana shopping center, and they validate parking, the indoor dining area is limited including regular tables and bar stools, although they have a large outdoor dining space, the restroom is a bit messy and should've been cleaned more often, overall still one of the better dining experience I've had at the Bacari chain restaurants Service: very friendly and attentive, served water and placed order promptly, and food was brought to the table at a comfort pace Food & Drink: standard Bacari menu shrimp ceviche - *** citrus fennel vinaigrette, heirloom cherry tomato, cucumber, za'atar, sesame, sumac, lime chili chips, bold flavors and overpowering acidity chef's salmon - ***** pan seared, walnut crust, tomato rouille, garlic & herb bulgar, parsley, crispy outside and juicy inside, balanced flavors, highly recommend shawarma tacos - *** chicken pargiyot, shredded cabbage, pickled red onion, sesame, garlic tahini, blend taste, chicken was a big dry petit filet - **** grilled zucchini, tarragon aioli, frantoia olive oil, maldon salt, tender and flavorful meat, recommend pistachio crèmeschnitte - **** crispy sfoglia, pistachio cream, toasted pistachios, the cream was great, and pastry tasted old not so crispy, still recommend for the overall taste salted caramel latte - *** overly sweet cream, but blend coffee Price: the food is served in tapa style, generally small portions, overall decent quality, expect $50+ per person

Bacari is a tapas styles restaurant and located in the Americana, the vibes are just great here! Always popping but very good service. You can always make a reservation if you don't want to wait. I'm always impressed by the food here. The diverse menu lets you try dishes they don't have at other restaurants and they have some unique combinations. I dine here at least once month because that's how obsessed I am with their brussels sprouts. They cook this dish to perfection and the sauce is addicting. Some of my other favorites are the shawarma tacos, chicken sliders, cauliflower and the mac and cheese. Everything tastes great, and quality is consistent. Some of the cocktails can be a hit or miss but I highly recommend the bacarita if you're getting a drink, especially if you want a refreshing, watermelon based drink. Also this is one of the few restaurants in the mall that actually validates parking.

Tapas, cocktails, and the kind of service you remember. And yeah, I won't forget. Tucked in at The Americana, facing Brand Blvd, Bacari GDL has a nice chill vibe, with plenty of sidewalk patio seats if you're the people-watching type (and honestly, who isn't). That's where we grabbed a spot. Great views, questionable fashion choices. The food came out looking as good as it tasted, except for a few minor misses. RAINBOW BEETS were cooked perfectly and had good flavor, but I didn't care for the overall flavor profile. The other components missed the mark. STUFFED MUSHROOMS had nice flavor but came out a little watery, which diluted the taste. GLAZED PORK BELLY was tender with caramelized edges and just the right balance of sweet and savory. Except one piece was literally all fat, which could've been tossed before plating. Otherwise, amazing. The rest went fast, and I regret nothing. LAMB HUMMUS was well done, rich, balanced, and seasoned perfectly. The fresh pita might've been best in show for that dish. It was perfect. FRIED CHICKEN SLIDERS were crispy on the outside, super tender inside, and the dressing flavor was on point. GRILLED PITA had amazing flavor, warm and lightly charred just right. The Aleppo oil was next level. Highly recommend this one. The Grey Goose ESPRESSO MARTINI was smooth, balanced, and finished with that perfect creamy top. Shoutout to KASARLINA for the great service and easy conversation. She made the whole experience even better. Bacari GDL got it mostly right, with a relaxed setting, flavorful dishes, and that kind of service that makes you want to come back.

Bacari GDL is located at The Americana at Brand, specifically located between La La Land and Frida's. What brought me here was dinner with Tora M that also had outdoor, dog friendly seating. I came to have dinner on a Sunday evening with my little girl dog and my husband. Tora came earlier, had made a reservation through Open Table and was already seated in the outdoor, covered seating area. Because she had been here before, she let us pick the items since it was our first time. After looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: Tripoline Pasta, $13.50 prior to tax- This dish was a little too spicy for me so I didn't eat more than a bite. I am not much of a spicy eater. My husband thought it was just okay and I am not sure what Tora thought of it. Shawarma Tacos, $16 prior to tax- I picked this and I thought this dish was okay. I am glad it wasn't spicy, just spiced. I liked the pickled onions. Lamb Hummus, $15.50 prior to tax- I thought this dish was spicy. The hummus itself may have been fine but the oil it was sitting in was rather spicy (like a lingering spicy taste since it was oil based). Brussel Sprouts, $15 prior to tax- The brussel sprouts were fine but could have been better without the sauce. I liked that the leaves of the brussel sprouts were nice and crispy but was heavy handed with the salt. Smoked Mushroom Pizza, $16 prior to tax- I think of all the dishes we had, this was probably the best. This pizza came with 6 slices and I liked the creamy cheese, it was very nice with the mushroom and pizza dough itself. ------------------------------------ (Total= $88.41 after tax, prior to tip) Portion sizes are rather small and meant to be shared among the table. So dining here is best to order numerous of plates so that you feel satisfied with your meal. I didn't really like this place and really thought it would be better. I think the portion sizes really are too small and overly priced for what it is. I had some what of a stomachache (some of it came from the spicy foods... sadly I was not meant for spicy foods) and so I hardly ate much. But I don't feel that the dishes above were enough to feed 3 people for dinner. Service initially was great with our first server but before his shift ended, he introduced us to another server who would be taking care of for the rest of our dinner. This server was a bit more forgetful and so we had to ask him a few times for water. But both servers in general were nice though. Food was just average for me and my husband. I honestly don't see myself coming back here.

The least crowded Bacari, so the shortest wait time, while the food & drinks just as good -- but, the least scenic/ambient location. Great for a high-quality 1-on-1 brunch or drink at the bar in terms of intimacy & quality + convenience if you're in Glendale, but if you're coming from out of town or looking to celebrate with a bigger party, make sure to reserve early at one of the other locations!

Haven't been to Bacari in years, and man have I missed out. I forgot how great their food is, food creativity and the "made from scratch" freshness is on point. The lamb hummus with freshly made pita bread is to die for (the pita was soft and pillowy). Brussel sprouts had just the right amount of crunch and roast. Pizza was really tasty, and the DESSERTS (sooo good)- highly recommend ordering the Bread pudding ahead of time because it takes a good 15ish+ minutes to make. Worth it but if you're on a time crunch , it's best to order mid way through your meal. We're already thinking of the for options for our next visit. 10 out of 10 for me!!

I've visited this Bacari location a few times, and the staff is always so welcoming. They even ask about allergies before you start ordering, which I really appreciate. We order the bacari fries, which are always delicious. The Tripoli pasta, and the margarita pizza. Also, we got the pork pieces, but they were not that great, a lot of fat. The drinks are also fantastic and they rotate them often, so there's always something new to try. I wish the menu had pictures tho. The ambience is super chill. We sat outside on their expanded patio, which was relaxing, though the tables are a bit small for just two people. I wish they were slightly bigger, but it didn't take away from the experience. Overall, it was a really enjoyable visit, and I'll definitely be coming back!

Bacari is one of my favorite restaurants in LA. Considering so many different restaurants in the LA area, this says a lot. I love the quality and taste of the food. The tapas style is perfect for someone who likes to try different foods in one setting. The cocktails are balanced, and the server is always lovely and friendly. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I like to sit outside to do some people watching and whatnot. The validate parking at the Americana, but I prefer parking lot A across the street, which has free EV charging.

I have visited many Bacardi locations, but so far, the Glendale location is absolutely amazing. Let's agree that all Bacardi locations have a good food choice and location, but what makes it very special is the people you have. Anibal was absolutely phenomenal, welcoming, and served us as if we were his family. His attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and genuine passion for excellent service truly elevated our dining experience. The ambiance at the Glendale location is warm and inviting, perfectly complemented by the consistently delicious food that exceeds expectations. The entire staff was attentive and courteous, creating a delightful atmosphere that made us feel valued and appreciated. This location stands out not just for its great offerings but for the exceptional hospitality that turns every visit into a memorable occasion.

Incredible and very impressive food (aside from the medium rare steak we ordered that came out blue rare). Was blown away by the chef's salmon in particular. We dined outside and had multiple random people from the street come up to us at our table to try and sell us flowers and candy, which felt really disruptive and inappropriate. But Faris was a great server and was very attentive through the whole night!

Solid tapas style restaurant, super fun to try a variety of different plates. I came with a party of 4 to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was very easy to make a reservation online. We sat indoors and loved the indoor outdoor concept and towards the end of the meal, they lit the candles and dimmed the lights for a more romantic ambience. We ordered 9 plates to share, which was the perfect amount of food and left us stuffed. All the plates comes out as they are made, which ensures the food tastes its best. Smoked mushroom pizza (5/5) - so delicious and love the amount of mushrooms! Would 100% order this again. Glazed pork belly (3/5) - nothing special, very small to share, would pass next time. Octopus (2/5) - tasty but not worth the price, disappointed that it only came with 7 little bite sized pieces of octopus. Shrimp ceviche (4/5) - very fresh, amazing appetizer and paired so well with the lime chili chips. Stuffed mushroom (5/5) - soo good and the mushrooms were extremely juicy! Burrata caprese (4/5) - loved the pesto that came with this, nice soft baguette. Brussels sprouts (5/5) - perfect amount of caramelization, delicious sauce, and big portion size. Tripoline pasta (3/5) - nothing memorable, very small portion, needs more flavor and maybe some protein. Sea bass (4/5) - cooked perfectly, paired well with the shishito pepper and corn. Overall, solid food and friendly service. The restaurant validates for 2 hours at Americana for parking. I also appreciated that our server brought out a delicious complimentary bread pudding with vanilla ice cream to make our birthday girl feel extra special!

Good cutesy place to catch up with friends and have some small bites. Didn't expect the inside to be small tho, I've passed by multiple times and it was my first time going in. Food was good, don't do the same mistake I did by not getting the best cake with ice cream!! Would reorder everything except the stuffed mushroom (cake, pear w/ brie pizza, lettuce cups, glazed pork belly) Upon leaving they also offered to validate our parking!

I came here a few times and the food used to be delicious, I dont know what happened but this time every dish we got was very salty and just not good. We ordered a couple non~alcoholic drinks which was very pricey and taste bad, I would not recommend. For the amount we paid, this place is not worth it. Also, it was really hot and humid inside even with the AC. Probably not a good idea to go during the summer. 3 stars for the previous times I went, when the food was good.

Great food and excellent service overall. However, I did order an 8 oz pour of wine I thought it was pretty cool that they offered that as an option , since I work in the wine industry, I have a good sense of what that should look like. The pour I received was noticeably short, it looked like a bit more than a regular 5 oz pour and when I mentioned it, the server insisted it was correct. Later, a nearby table ordered 8 oz pours, and their glasses were clearly fuller, which confirmed the discrepancy. It didn't ruin the experience, but it was disappointing.

Tonight was our second time here, with the first being around 8 years ago when they first opened, so I felt like an updated review was necessary! We had a wonderful experience this second time, just like the first! We were seated promptly on a busy Friday evening. I love that they have expanded their seating area to outside since the inside area isn't that big. Our waiter was wonderful. We ordered 5 things to share: watermelon salad, octopus, vegan pizza, pork belly, and shawarma tacos. Everything was so unique and delicious! The chef definitely knows what he's doing. So many unique combinations of ingredients that work so well together. The pork belly was especially delicious and the sauce on the shawarma tacos was out of this world! The price is super reasonable for the quality of food and overall experience. Feels similar to a Michelin star experience! Highly recommend!

What a fun concept! It seems that community is the theme here. The servers emphasized that everyone works together as a team, and the food here is served tapas style, and they encourage sharing. Our servers recommend 2 items per person to make a meal. The prices are high for the portion sizes (with the exception of the pizzas), but we were splurging. My family ordered 8 items and it was more than enough for us since the pizzas were a decent size. Most everything was seasoned and tasted great, although the family didn't really enjoy the glazed pork belly. Most memorable for me were the shawarma tacos, bacari fries and the Asian Pear & Brie pizza. Hubby and I ordered some adult beverages and they were very good! There is seating indoors, but most tables are al fresco on the sidewalk. Parking validation is available for the Americana lot.

One star because all the dishes tasted sour and yucky. Food tastes TERRIBLE: I'm not sure why everyone says it tastes great. *We tried the sea bass (sour tasting sauce & fish tasted old and soggy) *Truffle mac n and cheese (tasted sour and could not taste any flavor of any of the cheeses) *Brussel sprouts (flavor profile off. Tasted sour and not delicious like this dishes would normally taste at other restaurants) *Some kind of smash burger. This was pretty good. Service and Wait Staff was EXCELLENT. Give 5 stars: I still tipped the server for what would've been the full bill because he was awesome and the food being of such poor taste and flavor was not his fault. The Chef did come out to speak to me and comped our meal and accepted feedback well. He invited us back again to dine and try their food again. He took my name and number, but I never heard back from him. That was about 3 weeks ago.

With many retail locations closed for Easter, the Americana at Brand was open so we made reservations for brunch at Bacari GDL. It was a beautiful sunny day, so we asked to be seated at the patio. The ambiance is quite different from the other locations -- I'm not fond of the fake ferns and ivy that have not held up well to the outdoors. We also felt that the service was not as attentive. But happily, the food was the same -- fresh, flavorful and so, so delicious. We ordered our favorites starting with the Egg Pizza with Bacon, Lamb Hummus and Glazed Pork Belly, then ended with the Feta Filo and Bread Pudding. Bacari is one of our favorite places to dine, but with several other lovely locations, I don't think we'll return to this one.

Our server, Christian, recommended about 2-3 dishes per person. This was more then enough for me. Really friendly service. Everyone helped out, whether you needed a another drink ( I did the open bar special). Good deal if you can get 4 drinks in or more. The decor was simple but perfect for the theme of the restaurant.

My girlfriend and I came here on a whim and I have to say it was totally worth it. The chilaquiles were so good that I wish I would've ordered it 3 times. The mediterranean street corn was just as good and even had a kick to it. The egg pizza was intriguing as well, it didn't blow us away but it was still pretty good. Our server was very accommodating and did an excellent job as well, highly recommend!

Came here on a Sunday morning and had a solid meal. Wish the portions were a little bit bigger though. Our server Christian was friendly and attentive Ordered: - chilaquiles 4/5: good flavors - crab cake Benedict 5/5: good amount of crab - pork belly 4/5: good but on the salty side. - shakshouka 4/5: nice and spicy - grilled chicken breast: 2/5 dry and on the sour side - bacon and brie pizza 2/5: decent but the way they laid out the brie and cut it left a third of the pizza with no brie on the slice. Open bar 5/5. They were quick to bring the next drink. Not everyone at your table needs to get it. Sparkling sangria was yummy.

There is a meal here for everyone, whether you're on a diet or you just came to eat, whether you like meat, seafood, or feeling the vegetarian life, there is bound to be something for you here. The plates are small and made for sharing - it's a perfect place to get close to someone special or feast with a group of people to try a little bit of everything. It's recommended to have about 3 dishes a person on average. Don't drink but they have a bar that looks quite impressive so I'd imagine it would be a lovely place to hang out and have some delicious alcohol. Great service, everyone here is very helpful, and with such an interesting menu it's great to have a knowledgeable staff!

I first got introduced to Bacari at the West Adams location years ago, and often frequent that one. It was my first time visiting Glendale yesterday - unfortunately, the visit was not as enjoyable as I had hoped. #1 Service and attentiveness - from what I experienced, we were greeted by one (brought us water), then another came to attempt to take our order (then got distracted). This makes me think there isn't a dedicated waiter for the table, totally fine and pretty normal - but it's not ok when no one comes to take the order for well over 10 minutes after that. It wasn't during a busy time either, there were only a handful of tables with patrons there. #2 Food quality - I was looking forward to a good homemade pita. Then this came out - by looks it was pretty pale and by taste it was somewhat raw. See attached photo.

Came in on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch and were sat right away. Everyone from the hostess, servers, runners and bussers greeted us which just made the environment feel more enjoyable. The menu is made up of tapas, and 4 were enough to fill both myself and my boyfriend. Everything we ate tasted delicious and healthy. I'd say it's a great spot for a casual lunch with an upscale feel. Perfect to enjoy a nice drink and people watch.

Great first experience. Traffic on that street is a little bit busy and too loud, but the food, the ambience, and the staff are excellent. Falafel and the Chef's Salmon dishes were perfect for lunch.

Great food. I can see why the glazed pork belly was sold out at the Bacari in Silver Lake at one point. The more simple yet flavorful options like their Bacari fries with bacon and mushroom pizza hit the spot and filled us up real quick. Jessica and Agnes were great and super attentive tonight.

I really liked the salmon and the lamb with hummus. I didn't care for the cauliflower cause there was too much vinegar and the Seabass was kind of a mixed up dish that I wasn't sure I cared for either. The sauce was on the sweet side. The cocktails are pricey and the alcohol they're using is not top shelf so kind of a rip off. The ambience is nice out on the patio.

Very nice happy hour options. Faris is the BEST and so so sweet! Definitely a great spot to bring friends and share lots of plates.

Great tapas spot in a super busy area. I would highly recommend making reservations before you visit. We went before a show at the Alex theatre and everything we had was delish! We eat a lot and ordered the watermelon salad, beet salad, octopus, beef pita, sirloin steak .... we were still hungry so we then ordered the shawarma tacos and glazed pork belly. There were two of us and we polished everything off and had room for desert! We got the pistachio desert (don't remember the name) and it was really good. Would definitely come back if we come by this area again.

I was genuinely impressed with the service I received tonight so much that I actually remember the names of your amazing team! Michael was our server and knocked it out of the park with spot-on recommendations and attentive care. The lovely and handsome Ferris, equal parts sweet and fun, brought over a steady stream of drinks and dishes with a smile. Rhett, with his movie-trailer-deep voice, made a cameo at our table delivering delicious plates. And Agnes? She was a total gem--kind, thoughtful, and generous with even more great suggestions and her smile. The food? Absolutely delicious. My unexpected top three: the refreshing watermelon salad, the crave-worthy lamb and hummus (seriously thinking about it as I type this), and a tie between those insanely crispy Brussels sprouts and the decadent bread pudding with ice cream. Yum doesn't even begin to cover it. Now all that's left is to open a location in Long Beach. Please and thank you! Jed

5 STARS!!!! All thanks to Jeff!!! He was super attentive, offered fantastic recommendations (especially for drinks!), and made us feel like regulars. Margherita pizza worth the hype & the Mac n cheese!!
