“The newly opened Bacari Long Beach is a Venetian-inspired small plates restaurant featuring Mediterranean-influenced dishes created by Chef Lior Hillel. It’s the 10th restaurant of Bacari Restaurants / Kronfli Brothers, a family-owned, growing group of restaurants in Southern California.”

“Alongside delicious small plates, Bacari offer a rotating curation of small-production wines and eclectic beers, unique craft cocktails & mocktails, and are also known for their one-of-a-kind 90-minute open bar special.”

“The Bacari team provides warm hospitality in a comfortable, indoor dining room marked with rustic mediterranean decor. Guests will feel like home when dining at Bacari Long Beach. They welcome but do not require reservations. Unusually (for a busy restaurant) they gladly accommodate walk-ins and large parties, even on busy nights.”

The Kronfli Brothers restaurants were originally inspired by a popular underground supper club, Paladar, that Robert Kronfli operated with his apartment roommate while an enterprising student at the University of Southern California. A fellow USC cinema student followed this for a year and the result was the well-received Paladar documentary film.

Special offer: Robert extends a generous offer to show listeners. Dine at any of the Bacari restaurants by July 20th and when you’re ready for dessert mention you heard Robert on the “SoCal Restaurant Show.” You’ll then be rewarded with a complimentary dessert. One hosted dessert per table. Enjoy! No strings…
