Despite having high hopes, the overall experience at this restaurant fell short for multiple reviewers. Many noted that the food was average and not very inspired, considering the prices. The service also received criticism, with some feeling rushed or not properly attended to. Limited menu options and missing popular dishes were additional disappointments for some patrons. However, there were positive experiences to be found, with guests mentioning good wine selections, nice surprises for special occasions, and tasty dishes when opting for the tasting menu. While some were sad to hear that the restaurant was closing, others felt that Bacaro was the best dining option in Champaign.

Delicious! We were really pleased with our meal. The seared tuna, sweet potato cheesecake and chocolate pot de creme were standouts.

Large tasting menu with optional wine pairing. service was excellent. but the grinding noise of a machine behind the bar made it hard to talk for a bit, but thanks to the noise remained.

Eating was good, but the portions were extremely small. spent over $100.00 for two and went away hungry.

The restaurant offers a generous tasting menu with the choice of adding wine pairings. The service was top-notch. However, the loud grinding noise from a machine near the bar made conversation difficult for a short time, but we were able to carry on thanks to the ambiance of the restaurant.

We adore Bacaro and are truly disappointed to see them closing. We believe they are the top restaurants in Champaign. The food is delicious and of high quality, the staff is excellent, and the ambience is beautiful and upscale. Their absence will leave a void in our community.
