Me and my hubby went for a dinner at Bardi’s last night to celebrate our wedding Anniversary and we are very satisfied with all the food we ordered . so delicious. the steak is so good and tender and the service they provide for us. Miguel (one of the waiter) surprised us with a very good sliced of cake with sparkles to add up for the dinner celebration. Its our first time at Bardi’s and we highly recommend this reataurant.

This is my 10th visit to Bardi's and as always the food is fantastic and service is always positive and energetic. This last time I was surprised in the timing of the accompaniments of our steaks. They arrived as we were pretty mush finishing our meal. Felt like there was an issue in which table was to receive what and at what time. Did not ruin my experience or feelings on the restaurant in the slightest. Best spot to go before a leaf game if you're looking for a high end high quality meal that is walking distance to the Scotia Bank Arena.

I have been eating at Bardi’s for years and it’s a pre-game go to but last Friday was extremely disappointing. My bone in rib-eye was tough, and over cooked, definitely was not steakhouse calibre.

The restaurant is a throwback to the 1970s. The caeser salad is inimaginable - nothing but alot of bottled caeser dressing in iceberg lettuce. The steak was moderate. We asked for it to be sliced at the kitchen as 3 of us were eating and it came in one piece. The server was unhelpful. The food was overpriced. I will not be back.

Unfortunately this review is not a good one. There is too much competition for Bardi's today. If you are going to charge premium prices then you need to deliver. The decor, the character and food all need a refresh. We were all disappointed...

This was my first time to Bardi’s. The waiter was very friendly and very attentive. I had the salmon, my husband had the bardi’s special, both were exceptional. We did start off with the garlic/cheese bread, would highly recommend. Our dining experience was excellent. We would definitely go back.

We arrived at our reservation time and were promptly seated. Nice old time ambience. Our food was good excellent except no bread offered yet we had side plates for it. Only disappointing part was the fact that the menu on Open Table is not remotely close to the actual. The items are exactly the same but the prices aren’t close, I think that the restaurant has a duty to make sure everything is up to date when they raise prices. Otherwise we enjoyed our dinner and will be back.

Steak was ok but not as tender as a $90.00 fillet should be. Service was ok but not memorable. Decor has not changed in forty years. Can’t beat convenience if going to a game

Been going to Bardi’s for 30 years now and has been one of my favorite steakhouses in Toronto. Not so sure after this last visit. Staff messed up our order completely and did very little to remedy. Steaks were not amazing and ended with a $350 bill for two unsatisfied patrons.

Food was excellent! Waiter while presented himself professionally, he was not very engaging and did not offer suggestions or explain any menu items. Dripped wine twice while pouring. As a comparison the waiter at the next table was far more engaging and improved the dining experience. Still highly recommend Bardis, Surf and Turf, and Scallops cooked to perfection.
