Had a nice quiet drink and dinner at this new spot. The fried calamari was good, the oysters were fresh and the staff was... superb. Read more
Located deep into Pilot's Point Marina sits Bacari Social. An intimate restaurant with indoor seating, bar and fantastic deck... views with a raw bar. Service is excellent and the food and drinks are some of the best. Read more
2 Stars only for the appetizers and server, Angela?s personality. We all were very disappointed with our entrees. How is a... salad difficult? 3 Cesar Salads with grilled chicken, horrible. Salad was mushy and ?wet?, the croutons were old, hard n stale.There was 7 of us. Not one meal was good. 3 macaroni dishes, macaroni was hard as a brick and sauce was like from a jar of Ragu,horrible. The shrimp fra diavolo was served with wheat noodles! The menu did not say that either. That?s not Italian or howthis dish is served. Angela was nice enough to remove 2 of the macaroni dishes off our tab. I?ve been in the restaurant businesssince I was 10 years old. This was definitely a huge disappointment and a bad experience. Just a server point, clear emptydishes and glasses off your customers table! Overall; the bar was nice for drinks. It?s a small place on the marina and a nicestop for an afternoon drinky on the patio. The kitchen and cooks were definitely off last night. Not a great first timeexperience. Read more
Atmosphere, service, food and drinks all on point! Great views as well.
Probably one of the worst seafood restaurants I've ever been to. Place was chaos, 2 hours for 2 people to have dinner. 2... waitress for a full restaurant. 5 bartenders for 7 people at the bar. Pane cotte was like a dry chicken pot pie. Muscles had noflavor besides salt water. Clams were beyond sandy...to the point that there's no way they rinsed them before cooking. Not sureif they added gravel to the dish on purpose. Salmon tasted like canned tuna in tomato paste. Won't be coming back. Talk aboutBAD. if you're looking to grind down your teeth a little bit order the clams Read more
Restaurant is in a marina so expect to pay more But $18 for a Caprese appetizer? Wings - were hard crusted Mini boneless... wings. You are paying for the scenery obviously. Walked in & saw a sign that read "3-5pm Bacari Social Hour". We excitedlyasked what that meant?! We were looked at funny, like we had just tried to present a "tacky" coupon or something "vulgar" likethat. We were then told that it meant a "different menu to give the kitchen a break". Huh? Ended up being a "bar type" menu,with a few small plates, salads & a couple apps. Wings didn't say boneless but were. No blue cheese or ranch for wings? Wereoffered a garlic aioli. Fish tacos had one (kinda dried out) piece of tuna, with literally a couple specs of red onions &tomato. No flavor at all. Wine BTG read $9 on menu & were charged $10 Lastly, we were told by the server to be sure to have areservation next time. Feel judgy, for sure & we've been patrons of this spot for many many years (Boom, Liv's, etc etc.) Weasked for a two person table and the hostess instructed that tables are reserved for certain people for a certain time? Soinstead she wanted to seat us at a table for six? Waitresses wear cut off jeans. You want to be pricey marina restaurant butyou don?t know your identity. Read more
We visited for the first time this past Sunday. My husband, son, and I were so impressed as we loved the food, drinks, and... service (Jules). We are members of the marina and spend most summer weekends there, so we are very excited to become regularsand pull up a seat, just the 2 of us, at that outdoor bar soon! Read more
Bacari Social is a great waterfront dining restaurant in Pilots Point (Safe Harbor Marina). The staff was very friendly and... accomodating. All meals were delicious - can't wait to go back. Read more
