After celebrating my birthday dinner at Buca, I was really excited to check out Bar Buca and had pretty high expectations from the get-go. I went for brunch on Sunday and was seated right away. I'm not the biggest fan of communal seating so I was a little disappointed once we were seated next to two younger girls, scream talking about whether Kylie Jenner looked sexier with blue hair or not. After reviewing the menu, I was stuck on what to order because of the lack of vegetarian options. After getting recommendations from the waiter-who was very knowledgeable, he persuaded me to not "modify" any of the items which had meat in them because it would just change the dish too much. So I opted for the Verdure Focaccia and obviously a mimosa (what's brunch without a mimosa). After some time the waiter came to check on us, I asked him about our drinks and he took full blame and said he forgot but made no effort to compensate for his mistake which again was a little disappointing- and yet we still had to wait a while for them. When we ordered the waiter did give us the heads up that the food does come out as it's made but there was a 15 minute time difference between my partner getting his Veal Focaccia and me getting mine. With that being said the Verdure was quite good once it came aside from it being cold (did they forget again?).
I'm not sure if this is an ideal brunch spot, but would give them another chance to go with at least 4 people (a whole table) and split dishes as it is a tapas restaurant for dinner or a late night snack. Although the lack of vegetarian options doesn't have me running back and neither does the service.
