Good for groups

Bacari PDR is a Venetian-inspired small plates restaurant featuring Mediterranean-influenced dishes by Chef Lior Hillel. We are the 2nd restaurant of Kronfli Brothers, a family-owned, growing group of restaurants in the Los Angeles area. Alongside our delicious tapas, we offer a rotating curation of small-production wines and eclectic beers, unique craft cocktails & mocktails, and we are also known for our one-of-a-kind 90-minute open bar special.

Our team provides warm hospitality in our comfortable, intimate indoor patio or in our spacious, breezy outdoor patio. You will feel like home when dining at Bacari PDR.

We welcome but do not require reservations — we love to accommodate walk-ins and large parties, even on busy nights. Bacari PDR is the go-to spot for our neighbors, and we look forward to hosting you soon!

Having grown up in the restaurant biz and after running one of the most successful joints in town, I must say, THIS might be one of the most quintessential places in all of Southern CA. Makai (sp?)greeted us like we were family. Can’t wait to come back.

We love Bacari and will always come back! This time we experienced some disappointment for the first time, the scallops came with a strong fish odor when scallops are usually neutral-smelling. This might mean they were older. They were also overdone and too tough and stringy. We brought it to their attention and they kindly removed it from the check. We ordered the side of bread and it was just too small of an amount, felt overpriced, the garlic olive oil it came with was fantastic though! There should just be more of it to make it worth paying for. Major highlights: LOVE LETTER cocktail, so insanely good. BRUSSELS SPROUTS are a must, always! Tried the STREET CORN for the first time, phenomenal. SHWARMA CHICKEN TACOS were great, interesting taco wrap texture and sauce!

Nice atmosphere, good food. Enjoyed the truffle mac n cheese, cauliflower, chicken sliders. No valet on week nights, no parking lot, so you have to find parking on the street or in a neighboring lot. Service was a little slow at the beginning of the meal, it took half an hour to get a bottle of wine. The wine manager was gracious and let us try a couple of different wines. Overall, still an enjoyable experience and I would return.

Great food, very nice staff and great manager but very difficult to get service. It took forever to order, we were missing silverware when the food arrived, etc. Will definitely go again and just hope it was an off night.
