    Beware, you cannot get separate checks at your table. We were a party of 4 and both couples wanted their own check. The server advised she could not do it. We each had $50 off for the first time use of the Inkind app but since we couldn't get separate checks, only 1 couple could only use the $50 off. It was so noisy, we couldn't hear the server describe the dishes as they came or the specials in the beginning. We had to flag the server down for drinks and the check. Spent almost $500. Most of the food was good but did not care for the ribeye (mealy), lamb (stringy) or the sweet potato (strange combination of ingredients, just personally didn't like it). We won't be back.

    This restaurant is outstanding. The staff are welcoming and helpful. The menu offers a wide variety of food which is flavorful and creatively prepared There’s a wonderful array of wines by the glass as well as bottles. They serve seasonal mixed drinks as well as old time standards. Save room for dessert. Those are great as well. Prices are reasonable. This place is a well-known favorite restaurant so be sure to try it out

    I am a content creator who newly moved to Delaware. I heard great things about Bardea & they truly lived up to the type. I loved my experience there. My server Maria was amazing and the food was delicious. I will definitely be back.

    Open kitchen. Nice bar. Even with every table filled and a happening vibe, we enjoyed an intimate dinner for 2. Very professional and attentive service. Food came out very slowly. Not a criticism. Everything we tried was delicious. Loved the maitake mushrooms.
