Best Restaurants for Groups in Playa del Rey

Bacari is a great tapas spot with fantastic ambience, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere! We loved the watermelon salad, flat iron steak, and mushroom pizza, but the Best Cake stole the show — an absolute must-try! A special shoutout to our waitress, Charley, for her outstanding service. She was friendly, attentive, and made our evening even better! The drinks were tasty but on the smaller side, so I’d recommend the 90-minute open bar if you’re planning on having more than two. The only slight disappointment was our initial interaction with the hostess, which could have been a bit more welcoming. Otherwise, the experience would have been a slam dunk! Overall, great food, amazing atmosphere, and excellent service. Definitely worth a visit, and we’d happily return!

We had dinner in the beautiful outdoor patio and food was amazing!! Definitely recommended!

Really enjoyed. Fun menu options and great unique sauces. Would definitely go back.

5 stars. Market is a great new spot in Venice. We went last night and everything we ordered was a 10 out of 10, in both taste and presentation. We started with the house focaccia, then the beets. The beets looked seasonal and were the best thing we ate all night. The lumache came next, and the spicy vodka sauce was fantastic. I’d go back for that alone. The hanger steak was cooked well and beautifully plated. We finished with the cheesecake, which was phenomenal. The room is lovely and the service matched it. My only knock is the inside seating. The tables are very close together, so you end up in everyone else’s conversation. The patio looked great, especially on a warm night, so I’d ask to sit outside. Great food, great vibe. We’ll be back.

This is my second time at this Bacari location in Culver City and on both occasions the food was great and came out at different times, at the perfect times making it so easy to continue with our meal. The team was very friendly and attentive with all of our needs!
