What's a wonderful intimate place. Food was delicious and what you should expect from a Michelin Star chef. Perfect setting and ambiance for a date. Service was amazing, attentive, Knowledgable of the menu and pairings, and funny. Not a single dish disappointed my wife and I. We had the grilled octopus, the bread and butter, the lamb, the salmon, and delectable desserts. It is pricey but worth it. Will be going back.
This restaurant is located inside the wave hotel. When you enter the front door, go straight back. My husband and I attend this to celebrate getting married. The interior is very beautiful but a little dark so I would say this is an intimate place perfect for dates. From the time we sat down to the time we left, we received exceptional service. We ordered drinks first, very beautiful and tasted good. I highly recommend ordering the bread service, it was really good! All of the food we ate tasted great. I had the crab pasta. I'm only removing a start because the portion size was tiny. If we did not have bread service or an appetizer I probably wouldn't have been full but I will come back.
Bacan is a gorgeous restaurant nestled inside The Wave hotel, but once you're been seated, you do not feel like you're in a hotel lobby. The atmosphere is very nice, the staff is very attentive, and the food is very good. I would grab a reservation, it was busy on the night that we went, but I'm not sure if that's a daily concern since we went on a Saturday night. We got drinks, which looked great, but honestly neither of them tasted that incredible - not sure if it was just our choices or the menu. But, we opted to not get others just in case. The food was definitely a different experience, thankfully. For appetizers, get the lobster burrata tostada, it is delectable. My only complaint is that it is not bigger, because I could have eaten double the amount that we were given. But, skip the octopus, not that its bad, but not as good as the tostada and I'll assume there are other options that taste better. I wanted to try the bread service, on my next trip, that will be an option. Do not skip out on the Short Rib - it is one of the best short rib meals I have ever had. The birria pushes the dish over the top, I would dip anything into that birria, if that tell you how great it was. It comes with arepas; mine were very very dry, but once they were added into the sauce they were enjoyable. We also had the venison, which was also quite good. But, nothing will beat the short ribs. Normally, I'm not a dessert person, but the banana option was quite good. Not very heavy, full of flavor, and a great way to end the evening.
The restaurant is in the Wave hotel with free garage hotel parking . The restaurant is modern and chic. Our server was cheerful and gave us great advice with choosing our collection. The food was delicious. It's worth a visit
I can see why Bacan is a Michelin rated restaurant. We went for the tasting menu which was delicious. Presentation was beautiful. The reason I could not give 5 stars was that it was not mind blowing for us however that should not deter others from trying!! You just have to try it for yourself!
Definitely will return. It's inside the hotel Wave. High ceiling industrial indoor and Amazon outdoor, and the earthy tableware. A slow night on a Thursday at 6pm, then by the time we leave at 7:45, it filled out mostly. Guess I'll never survive in Europe and elsewhere. Love their decor, service and food. The front desk shown me to the corner table, saying that this is her favorite. Mine too, thanks sweetie. The food is pretty phenomenal: Scallops Bronzino (not bone in ... I know I know ...) Short ribs - very soft Even the coffee smell extra fragrant -:) It's just a wonderful night on a wonderful night.
Hubby and I grabbed a last minute reservation at Bacan on a Friday night for an impromptu date night. We expected it would be busy, so we checked in and went to the living room bar to grab a drink while we wait. The wait wasn't long and by the time we had drinks in hand, we were already being called to be seated. We were sat on the patio and had the most amazing team of servers. Our main server, (sorry, I forgot her name I waited to long to write this. But she had a blonde ponytail, she was fantastic) she helped guide us as a knowledgeable and experienced palate to what eat item tastes like. I was in a very indecisive mood so this helped me navigate the new menu. For appetizer I was between the pierogi and the croquette, and she recommended the croquettes as seen in the picture. I thoroughly enjoyed them as they were crunchy on the outside, soft and cheesy in the middle with salty bites of ham. Now that I know for a fact she is understanding my palate and preferences, I found myself again at a crossroads between the birria short ribs and the spiny lobster tail. Two very different directions. She pointed me to the birria short ribs as "Thee Best Item On The Menu", in her opinion, and so that's what I went with. Although I haven't had the entire menu, the tenderness of the short rib, the savory flavors of sauce and the Oaxaca queso filled arepa was just incredible. Each bite was melting in my mouth. Eventually, I'll circle back to the lobster, but that birria will stay on top of my mind. From now until early November, they also have a special experience called the Ozmopolitan. Our servers happily suggested we check it out. A live singer with Broadway show tunes and jazz melodies was singing, a photo op with a wand or a broom depending if you're a good witch or a bad witch and an outdoor specialty bar completes the experience with themed drinks. For a full service date night, get an early reservation and follow the yellow brick road to the Ozmopolitan before a house falls on you at 9pm when they close! (h
