Our waitress was awesome despite there being challenges with our dining experience. I always choose a ribeye cut of steak and asked for it to be cooked medium. My steak wasn’t very marbled, nor juicy. It was overcooked as well. Tough to cut. The sides were nice tho. The WiFi went down, which we then had to fill out paperwork to be charged. It felt a little unnerving seeing that cc theft is so high.

Our cook Hunter was super chill and fun. He made the experience great. Had to wait about 30 mins after my reservation time which was a bummer but i guess since they were busy it’s normal.

This was our first time at Bacari Sherman Oaks, after going to locations in Silver Lake and Third Street in Los Angeles - and it was every bit as good, if not more impressive, than their other locations. Our server, Casey, was fantastic. The setting is exquisite, and the food is absolutely sensational. We have some favorites that we always (and will always) order: Carmelized Pork Belly, Caprese, Brussells Sprouts, Lamb Hummus. We brought friends who had never been to any of the Bacaris and they loved it as well. We'll be back VERY soon!
