Went to this location after having our civil ceremony at the Beverly Hills Courthouse. All of the waitstaff was knowledgeable and friendly. They offered us some prosecco to celebrate the occasion, which was so nice! We had a great tattooed waiter who was delightful and suggested great options on what to order. Do not skip the Lamb Hummus - you will be thinking about it for days to come. Thank you Bacari!

The Sky Room blew us away...in design and especially the food. We feasted on duck liver, crab cake, Mikate Mushrooms, Lobster and the bananas foster. I am from NOLA and can attest to the authenticity and impressive presentation and taste of the dessert! Every bite of everything was note-worthy. The lighting is perfect for romance or a fun group.
