    Food was definitely not as good as Bacari in Sherman Oaks where we have been twice. Especially pear and Brie pizza. Wish there was a separate bathroom for ladies!!

    Food was good. Our waiter was terrible. Seemed like he didn’t want to be there. We were 6 people so he knew he was getting an automatic tip of 20%, which may contribute to the lack of service.

    My wife and I went here for the first time yesterday for date night and man let me tell you the experience was amazing. Christian was our server, but they did communicate that any server will help us out which was very awesome. The dishes are shareable and small but it was outstanding and delicious. We ordered the margarita pizza Pork chops, mac & cheese, and the fried chicken sliders and everything tasted outstanding

    I have been to Bacari in Hollywood twice and each time was fantastic. Service, food, vibe..but truly the service is above and beyond . Glendale is more relaxed and the service also a bit more relaxed. If it were my first time recommendation I'd head to Hollywood...BUT..the food in GDL was excellent as always. I'd recommend it but it doesn't hold up to the experience at Bacari Hollywood

    Ever since we went to BACARI for the first time, we have always wanted to go there again, for several reasons: The food is great and consistent. The presentation is always good and the service is impeccable. We also like the fact that once in a while certain items are removed from the menu, but they are replaced with new ones that outdo the previous items. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend it.

    The items we ordered had no flavor. The fried chicken slider was mushy, not crispy. The beets had no distinctive flavors Happy hour from 5 to 6 discounts the whole menu; so that was good

    Overall I had a pleasant experience. Service was good, our table was small so our dishes were cleared right away. Mac n cheese was just ok for me but that's just for me. What kinda didn't seem right is the additional 4% optional service fee. I understand right on the bottom it's says I can ask to have it removed. I just kept it and gave the tip that added up to the standard tip scale. I know in Europe service fee is automatically included but that is in replacement of tip but this 4% additional optional is a little over asserting. I don't think anyone would ask to have it removed.

    The server was very kind. We ordered seven dishes, and at least three had the exact same sauce. A lot of vinegar or lemon in many of the dishes so some were a bit too tart for my tastes. The best dish was the buratta caprese.
