| - I just went to Bac for the first time in at least two years and damn if I'm not kicking myself for staying away so long , especially because there was absolutely no reason I stopped going there (well, no reason other than the fact that there are a lot of great restaurants in CLE and I just tended to go to the same ones over and over and again). A friend and I met there for lunch and both goth the Bac Bento Box deal, and what a deal it is! You can get 3 choices for $9 or 4 choices for $12. We each got 4 different items (for a total of 8) so we could try a little of everything and it was all so good. You can get everything from a refreshing green papaya salad to savory sweet potato tempura fries; classic bahn mi sandwiches (with a variety of toppings, to fit any preference) to crispy spring rolls.
In addition to the food, the decor is incredibly well thought out and designed: the dining area, patio, chopsticks, patio umbrellas and menus all share a similar color palette and design aesthetic. In some restaurants, you can tell that they're paying much more attention to the look of the space than to the quality of the food. In this case, though, the attention to detail to the space is clearly carried over from the attention to detail in the kitchen.
I may have taken an unintentional break from Bac, but I will absolutely not be making that mistake again.
