Best Live Music Restaurants in Encino

Bacari is in a location that was once a French restaurant called “Rive Gauche.” It was a favorite of my mother’s and mine for twenty years. I cannot tell you how happy I was to see this reopen. It's a beautiful venue with gorgeous facilities, bringing back many great memories for me. I cannot say enough about my personal experience being there, but the food and service were excellent, and, of course, you cannot beat this location. I've already told three of my friends I'm taking them there. I lost my mother a couple of months ago, so it's poignant, but I know how much she would've loved seeing it now. Thank you, Bacari.

Excellent service, and the food was prepared perfectly. We appreciated the 4:30 opening, instead of 5 pm, because we like to have dinner early. We plan on making a Larsen’s dinner our Christmas tradition from now on. What I DO NOT appreciate is all the “verification” it took from Open Table to know that i am who I say I am. Really—phone number, email, and pass codes to BOTH? Ridiculous!! My financial institutions do not have so many verification steps.

Great experience. Food was great and I loved the guitar.

Joe was amazing🙏🙏 . The food was super good. Erica was our server. She’s a sweetheart, but Joe OMG amazing.🎄🎄

Great food and great service. Midweek birthday dinner party - so nice to be able to hear each other and the big round table was great for conversation. The chicken kabob was exceptionally good.
