Bacari Social - Westbrook

I do not recommend this place. My friend and I split 1 entre seared tuna $36) 1 app Calamari $18) mostly tentacles, and 1 dessert. Service was fine but there was no pacing between appetizer and meal. I thought the tuna, was awful, although my friend said she loved it. I couldn't understand why it was coated in whole peppercorns and not crushed. Could be me, but I will not return. Also, the view? We were outside but the view was only when you stood up. The patio area is enclosed so you see wall and sailboat masts when seated. Sorry to vent but with prices the way they are everywhere, you hate to waste it on so-so food. Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2

Not sure what happened between last summer and this summer but holy moly did this place plummet. Ordered fish tacos, received a skimpy piece of anchovy sized fish on a destroyed tortilla with a few strips of lettuce, it was wild how brutal this was. My mom dined in a few weeks later and said the eggplant rolatini was criminally terrible and possibly rotten. She said the eggplant Parm was gross. Multiple people have told me they’ll never go there again. What the heck happened? They’re just pumping out garbage for the sake of it i guess. I also had to tell the register girl how to do the math on the change. She gave me more back in change then I gave her to pay for the meal in the first place. Get your act together guys, for real.

Prices outrageous and the food was below average. Explained to the bartender how disappointed we were with the food when he asked, and he said nothing and don’t offer to do anything to correct it. Not that I would expect a discount, but I would expect something in this type of instance. Especially, in a place that has the audacity to charge these type of prices for subpar food. That is just unacceptable from any type of business in the food and beverage industry. I left their feeling like I got conned by a con-artist. We most definitely won’t be returning.

Atmosphere was ok but nothing special. Should have requested a view of the marina unfortunately we had a view of the parking lot. Our waitress was very pleasant and service was good. In fact the food came out a little too fast as we were still eating our appetizer. The fried calamari was the best thing we had. The rest of the food was not good. Nothing special even the presentation was awful. The shrimp in the shrimp scampi were tiny, rubbery and clearly had been frozen at some point. A restaurant on the shoreline in a marina you would expect fresh shrimp. The shrimp tacos were very salty as was the linguini with clams. We were very disappointed and for this we would not be returning. Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2
