Bacari Silverlake

Bacari is built around sharing: the menu moves across vegetables, seafood, meat, pasta, and pizza in smaller portions, so two people can build dinner together instead of ordering parallel entrées.

How to use it for a date

Choose a few plates, leave room to add another, and let the meal expand only if the conversation is working. Cocktails, wine, beer, and a dedicated spirit-free section make it workable for mixed drinking preferences.

Know before you go

Reservations are accepted for parties of all sizes. The restaurant publishes separate brunch and dinner periods on weekends, and its own site warns that menu items and prices may change.
