We go to Bacaro fairly often. It has a wonderful atmosphere, great food and a very friendly staff. The food options cater to almost anyone’s interest - seafood, steak, chicken or vegetarian. The also have a unique and interesting wine selection with many you can’t find anywhere else and the owner, Bill, is always glad to share his experience and knowledge to help us find something new to try. Highly recommended!

The ambience is great, whether you want a quiet date night or a girl's night out. The lasagna is 5 star. I do wish a salad came with the entre rather than a separate charge. Service was 3 star, adequate. Overall, I would return and would recommend.

This was our first visit to Bacarro. The food was super satisfying. Just the right flavors tenderness portions. We had appetizers large means salads, bread, and desserts and enjoyed every bite. The service was very appropriate and attentive and friendly without being intrusive at all. When you go ask to sit with Monserrat, you will love her smile.
