    We had another great meal at Bardea. Chef Antimo Dimeo creates delicious dishes full of flavor that change seasonally. The servers are professional and friendly. The cocktails are perfect. We make sure to eat at Bardea whenever we are in or near Wilmington.

    Easy to find with ample surrounding street parking. The menu is mostly tapas style and everything we tried was delicious. We commented several times how it was a terrific spot, especially considering we don't have to travel to Philadelphia for it. We'll definitely return with family and friends.

    BF&G is a great food experience if you are comfortable with the tapas/mezzes approach. The tastes are wonderfully imaginative and the presentation is simple but elegant. The servers and runners are knowledgeable and helpful. The dining room is loud and not suitable for intimate conversations. Our hostess was kind enough to relocate us to the edge of the room near the bar, ant that helped. I'd give Bardea a five all around but visitors need to be know that it is pricey. Come prepared to drop a few Jacksons and you'll have a great experience.

    The small plates were extremely small. When ordering baked potato side dish for $15 we received half a baked potato. The dishes came out all at different times and some were not hot. I asked for bread and asked it it was additional and they said yes, but we have pita bread that is free. Well, why didn’t you bring that out in the beginning? They brought it out. It was really good. The salad was delicious. It’s just a shame that they don’t get bigger portions and charge so much for vegetables and small plates that are extremely small

    Beautiful experience and the food was superb. Really enjoyed my evening spent with my dad who was traveling on from Texas. The staff and manager were too shelf. I am planning on returning next month for a night on the town with my girlfriends. Thank you so much for an enjoyable evening.

    I enjoyed the experience, and the food was good not great and good. My belief is that if this restaurant were in downtown Philadelphia, it would probably have a hard time surviving. The seats that we sat in were extremely uncomfortable and the time between each course was very long. It was just my daughter and myself and it took us two hours to have Our dinner with dessert. Service was good. Kitchen was slow. I probably would go back and I am not rushing back to the restaurant.

    Great place for special occasion! Free champagne for our anniversary—and a wonderful meal. Risotto was delicious, halibut perfectly cooked. Parking is tricky—will use valet next time.

    We asked our waitress to pick the dishes for the 5 of us as there are many small plates to choose from. Each dish was outstanding!

    From my initial cocktail at the bar (while waiting for my dinner companion to show) through the small plates, pasta, pizza and to my expresso martini for dessert Bardea NEVER disappoints. Wonderful food, service, and atmosphere!!!
