Bacari W 3rd

Tapas-style restaurant with seating in the gardens. Enter through the tunnel into a beautiful, park-like setting with the ceiling open to the sky. The A/C kept the temperature comfortable on a warm day. Recky, our server, was amazing. We started with a lemon drop martini and the warm baguette with garlic olive oil. Our food included the petit filet with zucchini, octopus with slaw, mac’n cheese, and the bacon and brie pizza. And for desert the bread pudding with ice cream. All were delicious. I can't wait to go back to try other items on the menu. This place is a gem! Awesome food, service and relaxing setting to have dinner with friends.

Amazing ambience, outstanding service across the entire staff (hostess, servers, bartenders, bussers). Wide variety of delicious appetizers including meat, vegetarian and vegan options. I thought my wife was going to reenact the scene from "When Harry Met Sally" when she tasted her Espresso Martini. Loved everything about the night!

What a delicious surprise for my “last supper” in LA (until next time ✨). A friend who lives here chose this spot for my final night of the year in the city and I’ll admit, at first I wasn’t thrilled because I had another place in mind. But wow… this place exceeded every expectation. From the service to the food, everything was truly top tier. Michael, Chris, and Steph made sure we were genuinely taken care of, and it showed. I would probably think twice about the pork belly. Too fatty but delicious. The pistachio dessert we got, had it been hot, would have been better. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in town again 🤍

Bacari W. 3rd is the kind of place that makes you accidentally order everything and then feel zero shame about it. The tacos showed up dressed better than I was—flavor-packed, dramatic, and clearly aware they’re the main character. The chicken breast? Juicy, well-seasoned, and somehow doing the impossible by being both “responsible order” and actually delicious. Growth! Then there’s the mac and cheese, which is not here to play. Creamy, indulgent, and fully prepared to derail any diet you once believed in. The wings came in hot—crispy, saucy, and rude in the best way. I would absolutely start a fight over the last one. The burger was stacked, juicy, and confident, like it knew I’d be thinking about it the next day (it was right). To balance all of this chaos, I ordered the kale salad—because wellness. And honestly? It slapped. Fresh, flavorful, and just good enough to make me feel like a person who “eats greens,” even though I immediately followed it with more mac and cheese. The vibe (aka the salon energy) is peak Bacari: cozy but cool, date-night-but-also-friends-night, with just enough ambiance to make you feel chic without trying too hard. In conclusion: come hungry, order aggressively, and accept that Bacari W. 3rd will win. Every time. 🌮🍔🧀

Bacari W. 3rd is an absolute must for anyone who seeks a lovely date night in a hidden place, away from LA's usual rush. Barely visible from the outside, the entrance is a Mediterranean inspired passage that leads to the entrance of the restaurant. Once inside, an amazing ambiance with great music and wonderful lighting will warm your heart and lust for appetite. Everything is small bites that can be shared. Their cocktails and moktails are amazing, the food has a unique and exquisite taste, filled with rich flavors and mysterious ingredients. Make sure to try everything amongst your party, to not miss out. We celebrated our anniversary yesterday, and we were blown away with the staff. They had two handwritten cards for us, which was super sweet, and the services throughout the night was amazing and pleasant. What I also appreciated is that they did not rush us to the check in order to turn tables. It's been overall an amazing experience and we are certainly coming back to this place. Make sure not to miss out and check it out. I highly recommend this place.

Came here many times and they never fail. Top tier service. Yummy food. Great ambiance day time + night time. Lunch + dinner both good. I have tried almost the entire menu. (Pictures are brunch food, i didnt take dinner pics last times)

Bacari was a wonderful time to go for brunch. We had the hummus plate with gluten-free bread and chilaquiles with some mimosas. They have a gluten-free dedicated menu and were upfront in being able to make accommodations for anyone with allergy or celiac needs. The hummus plate with gluten-free bread was my personal favorite. Excellent service as well. When we entered, as we were being seated, our server even pointed out where the restrooms and bar were. I’ve never had a server before point out the directions to the restrooms and other parts of the restaurant, it was like entering someone’s home and being hosted. I shared that compliment to the manager who also helped us with drinks. Wonderful place and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a gluten-free restaurant with awesome service.

Great spot for upscale dinner with family, friends, or even date night. I love the outdoor seating with heaters in the winter. The decor is incredible. I loved the pesto stuffed mushrooms. They came out piping hot. Fun evening! Good vegetarian options.

My son had his engagement party here during Saturday brunch. The service was great, your staff w as attentive & quick. The food was delicious & we had many different dishes served family style.

Rob Idle

We visited Bacari whilst visiting from the UK. In one word… wow. This was an incredible experience and the food was simply exceptional. Even better than the food however was our server Erika. An absolute star and made the already great experience even better. All the staff were excellent and the food is just on another level. Next time we are in town we absolutely will be back!

Honestly really pleasantly surprised by this find. Keep in mind, the food portions are SMALL, the chef is correct that each person will need 2-3 plates minimum. Overall food were well-cooked and the inner courtyard created a nice and relaxing atmosphere.

Chris

I ordered several tapas, each one was special with a complex preparation. The waitress was incredibly patient, explaining each dish to my friend and me in detail, including the ingredients and cooking methods. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about what she can serve, and to my surprise, the prices were very reasonable- along with a drink, the meal cost around $100 for me and my buddy. I’d love to visit again.

Tori Rivers

Went to visit friends in Los Angeles and ate here for brunch. It was delicious! We chose to eat family style and ordered a bunch of options for share the table. We loved everything, but our favorites were the bacon wrapped medjool dates, potato bureka, and chilaquiles. The atmosphere is very cute and the service was friendly and quick. Would definitely recommend.

Five stars across the board. This dinner set the standard for a bachelor party. The food was excellent. Every dish arrived well timed and full of flavor. Guests talked about it all night. The service stayed sharp from the moment we arrived. Staff paid close attention to food allergies and cross contamination, which gave everyone confidence and comfort. That level of care mattered and did not go unnoticed. The custom menus were a standout touch. They made the night feel personal and elevated the entire experience. Drinks were balanced, fresh, and consistently good. The ambiance matched the moment perfectly. The space felt lively, polished, and welcoming. Our guests were fully enjoying themselves and the energy never dropped. The night delivered on every level. An outstanding experience and an easy recommendation.

Bacari is such a cute place. From the street, it has a small, hole-in-the-wall entrance (at night you might be scared to go in) but once you go through the tunnel, you enter a little hidden gem. It was a beautiful day to sit in the patio for brunch. I enjoyed everything we ordered; the Brussel Sprouts, Egg Pizza, Vegan Pizza (not vegan but it just looked good and we added bacon), and the French Toast. The French toast was my least favorite. Not that it wasn't good, but it was just basic and the portion was really small. I would not waste my calories on this again. The service was a bit slow, but the server was really friendly. Overall, this is a place I would recommend and would go to again.

Wow, what a surprised to see how popular Bacari has become over the years! The food is tremendously delicious, light, and affordable, and the service stays friendly even when it's busy. The only downside is that it can get pretty loud inside. If you want a fun place for a date or to hang out with friends, this is a great choice. Just be sure to make a reservation, especially on weekends, to avoid waiting.

Bacari West Hollywood is a cozy, welcoming spot. I love the patio and a relaxed vibe. The menu is full of tasty small plates, perfect for sharing, and the wine list is great. The staff is friendly and attentive. Great for date night or catching up with friends.

To be honest, it is horrible experience. absolutely below passing standards. The service was by far one of the worst experiences I’ve had: It took over 10 minutes before anyone even came to take our order, and in the end my friend had to literally get up and find a server to finally place it. My friend ordered a Diet Coke twice, and each time it took more than 10 minutes to be brought to our table. Absolutely unacceptable. The serving order of the dishes was a complete mess — cold appetizers and mains came out randomly with no order at all. Proper sequencing (cold dishes first, then mains) was completely ignored. Shrimp Ceviche The flavor was extremely sharp — chilled shrimp with a citrus–fennel vinaigrette, overwhelmingly sour.The chips on the side were lime–chili flavored, very heavy in taste. Mujadara Basically fried rice loaded with spices, overall tasted like Korean fried rice, very greasy. Glazed Pork Belly Pork belly with a sweet-and-sour rib-style sauce, overall way too sweet and cloying. The lean part was dry, the fatty part overly greasy, making the texture not enjoyable. Salatim The pita bread itself was good, served with three dips. Octopus Mediocre, very ordinary, just a light sour seasoning. Fried Chicken Slider Not good — the sauce was very salty, the fried chicken was dry, though the Hawaiian roll bun had a nice sweet flavor. Bacon & Double Cream Brie Pizza Extremely oily and not tasty. Petit Filet My friend said it had a sour tang and a very strong gamey taste. The Best Cake W/ Ice Cream A date-based dessert soaked in caramel sauce, overly sweet — it even made the ice cream on the side taste bland.

We've been here a few times and decided to come here for a Birthday dinner on 12/29 and it was unfortunately a very frustrating experience. We had multiple items that we ordered just never come to the table, no one came to our table to help us for 20 minutes after sitting down, and multiple things were just never followed up on. Eventually, we just wanted to leave. I'm assuming they must have been short staffed, given they weren't that busy on a Monday. We only come to a nice restaurant like this a few times a year on special occasions, so it was just really disappointing, especially after enjoying the food and our previous visits. I don't see myself coming back here for a while, and if I do, I would try one of their other locations.

The environment is dim, not as a design choice but to cover the dirty and messy seats and the broken tables. The first dish, shrimp salad with chips: the chips were overloaded with seasoning and unbearably salty; the salad was overdressed, lacking any sense of freshness—just salty and sour. The second dish, fried rice, felt like rice soaked in oil; the seasoning of the beans was strangely off. Overall, it can only be called bizarre. The flatbread was okay, but the three sauces were unimpressive: the first two were ordinary and dispensable, while the last one, a Mexican-style hot sauce, had an overpowering flavor and was extremely salty. Every single dish tasted as if salt cost nothing. Then came the pizza: after the oily rice, came an oily pizza. The texture was nonexistent—just pure greasiness once in the mouth. And here comes the main point, the filet steak. I truly have no idea what cooking method they used. Although they called it medium, the top and bottom slices had no pink at all, while the middle was pure raw meat. The moment it entered the mouth, it was the disgusting sourness of raw meat, with no beef aroma whatsoever—only the stench of uncooked flesh. The quality of the meat must have been poor. This also explains why the lighting inside was kept so dark. The entire dish was sauce on one side and meat on the other, with no sense of integration. Then there’s the service. A bottle of Coke required asking twice; the second bottle needed to be requested four times. It’s baffling why she works here—she might as well help in the kitchen catching the cow. The entire restaurant has no taste worth tasting, no look worth admiring, and no service worth mentioning. All of their cooking techniques feel as if humanity has gone back to the Stone Age—purely eating raw flesh: salt dumped recklessly, fishy raw flavors left completely intact. They seem to be pursuing some strange theme of stripping away the crucial step of human civilization: how to actually cook food. After tasting that filet, I felt deep pity for the cow that died for it. They might as well just drag a cow under the sun, sprinkle some salt on it, and let me chew. Cooked or not, it tasted exactly like a water buffalo that has been dead for a long time on the African savanna, attracting flies.

Beautiful space and the server was friendly and knowledgeable but I would never recommend this place. I had been to the Silverlake one for dinner (also underwhelming) and went for Brunch at W 3rd. We got four dishes and I wish we had spent our money elsewhere. Menu is...fine but relies heavily on the sauces to give the dishes any substance. Very little substantial protein options on the brunch menu except for a burger. All four dishes we had were drowned in sauce (the tacos were literally gushing sauce out the bottom). The meal was mostly just oily fats from the sauces and nothing of substance. Server forgot one of our dishes which we were grateful for because we just wanted to leave so we could eat somewhere else. I understand the, "food comes out when it's ready" concept but I think there is a way to do that with some intention. Who wants to eat crudo AFTER chilaquiles? Also, managers - please teach your servers how to use a tray or at least properly bring drinks/glasses to tables. No one wants to drink out of a glass after it was pressed up against someone's dirty work shirt.

I recently had dinner here and although the restaurant is beautiful, the service and the food were very much lacking. When we arrived we had a reservation and were seated right away at a nice table. Our server, didn’t come to introduce herself until about 20 minutes after we were seated. She remain MIA pretty much the rest of the night. I had to ask other servers or bussers for assistance when I anything. The main problem however was the food. It just wasn’t good. It didn’t taste good, not seasoned well. I can’t explain except to say it was nasty. Very disappointing, I’ve been to the silver lake and Glendale locations and had great experiences. I definitely do NOT recommend this place.
