BARCAR — Restaurant in Metairie

I’m normally a city girl at heart and I never really eat anywhere in Metairie. However, my boyfriend decided to take me here for dinner Sunday and when I tell yall I’m in LOVE with this place. The aesthetics, the vibes, and the service were all top notch. You get to pick your own table/section to sit in and they have a second floor balcony option too. In terms of the menu I love that it was small and simple. We got the spicy crispy tuna rice, tempura green beans, Barcar burger, half a dozen of oysters (three of the mon Louis & admiral), and the Timesaver. The spicy crispy tuna rice was A M A Z I N G. It tasted comparable if not better than sushi restaurants. The yuzu sauce is very soft and light but packs a punch. The crisp of the rice was just the perfect amount of crunchy that pairs well with the wetness of the tuna. The tempura green beans were great on their own but the sauce it came with was just delectable! I loved the oysters so much that I was able to eat it on my own without any sauce. The fact that barcar lists where each of the oyster is sourced & their flavor profile made me truly appreciate this place. I luckily went on a Sunday when oysters were only...

Honestly the dinner started out good. We ordered drinks and they came out in a decent time. The food was another story. We ordered our food and a table was sat next to us and they managed to get their drinks and food fairly quickly and they realized we never got our food and the waitress realized as she saw and never said a word to us. Twenty more minutes passed and our food came out, no acknowledgement or apology that we were forgotten about. After we finished we hadn’t seen our original waitress since our drinks and went to the bar to try to pay for our food and was told there wasn’t another waitress and we need to go sit back down and she’ll find a check for us, so our original waitress just up and left and not a word was said to us. For the amount of money the dinner costed, the service should’ve been way better. For this reason we’ll never return as there’s better places out there with better food...

We were greeted at the entrance and were told to choose a table or the rooftop was available as well. We chose the rooftop and sat on a table right across the bar. Place did not look busy and husband was hungry. Took about 5-8 minutes to get someone to bring us a menu and another 4 minutes for waitresses to come back to get our drink order. We looked over the menu as it was our first time here asked for suggestions and ordered our food. Half a dozen raw oysters, a medium well hamburger and fried green beans as appetizer. After our waitress took our orders we never saw her again. 40 minutes passed until my husband asked another waitress about our food and she came back with our food. My burger was bland and somewhat cold. Husband did not enjoy his oysters at all. The only enjoyable food was the fried...
