What a surprise! I had heard mixed reviews of Bac for the past few months. I even had someone tell me flat out "don't go to Bac!" I'm glad I didn't listen.
Very cute little asian fusion joint. The ambiance was almost perfect. I loved the greens and browns and the lighting was comfortable.
We started off with cocktails. I chose the Singapore Redux Reloaded. I was given a warning by the friendly server that it was "very spicy". He was right. I loved it. My dining partners chose the 17th Parallel -- very refreshing.
For appetizers, we chose the bacon guacamole with crispy wontons and the summer rolls with peanut sauce. Both were scrumptious. I fell in love with those wontons.
Entrees? Kim chee noodles with beef, avocado green curry, beef pho. All dishes were much better than I expected them to be. Spiced perfectly, presented perfectly, huge portions!
We didn't skip dessert. We tried the fried ice cream and the flan. Flan was just flan. The fried ice cream was interesting and a bit different than any other fried ice cream I've tried. It had a very crispy and fluffy exterior, almost like a baked good was surrounding it.
Service was friendly, attentive, and informative.
Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised by Bac. And speaking of -- Bac made an appearance at our table. Super nice guy!
I'll definitely be back.
