    The Bardea team knocks it out of the park yet again. The yellow tomato sauce under the mozzarella stick needs to be bottled and sold. Also the Italian chopped salad was perfect. Perfect size, perfect chop, perfect ingredients. Our only suggestion and its minor is to offer some chocolate option for dessert. We plan to return soon and often.

    Server seemed new but did fine. Salmon was excellent, as was the egg roll app. I have come here several times and it's always great.

    Chelsea is our go-to for dinner before a show at the Grand. The food is good but the menu is limited. I was disappointed that there was no calamari for a starter which had been on the menu in the past. Our server was busy not only waiting on us but working the bar as well. We did manage to get there in time for happy hour but again there was a limited menu for that as well. We didn’t know there were half price starters but in any case our food orders were prepared correctly and the caesar salad was fabulous.
