   Lovely food. Rutabaga Pave is so flavorful. Carrots minced to perfection. Long Hots very spicy with sausage. Bison tender. Smoked squash w/dukkuh was out of this world. Gnocchi was light as air, so tender. Cocktails are so nice. This is fine dining in a comfortable setting.

   Usually good food but the seeds were not removed from the jalapeños (although they explicitly said they were) and it set my mouth on fire! It was dangerous and made me literally cry. The server just shrugged and brought me a ginger ale … after a long time. No apology and the item was left on my bill. Additionally, the dining room is too loud. Food comes out too fast with little explanation. I have been many times but this is the last straw. The food can no longer make up for the other flaws. I will not go again.

   One of the best meals I've ever had. A little pricey but worth it for the quality of the food

   Wow! It was our first visit to Bardea and we had an amazing dinner. We shared some small plates including a backed avocado, gnocchi, pork, bison & salmon, then had a “Feed the Table” Snapper. Everything was delicious and the service was top-notch.

   The hostess seemed a little scattered when we arrived and looked directly at my friend but not at me, even though I was the one who made the reservation. After that, things improved tremendously. Our server, Ryan, was great - he kept our water and wine glasses filled at all times, he remember the order for four of us without writing it down, and he was very knowledgeable about all of the dishes on the menu. Everything we ordered was great! We would highly recommend Bardea Food & Drink!

   Every dish is overly complex and rich. All of the dishes were Smothered in multiple sauces. The noise level is ridiculous. My water glass was chipped. To top it off, when we arrived they asked if it was a special occasion, and we told them it was my birthday. That kind of made us think they might recognize it during dinner. Nothing! Why do they ask if they aren’t going to do anything. Terrible experience.

    The Negroni was indeed classic and tasty; no messing with perfection, it was a good cocktail. Calamari was flavorful, but overly chewy. However, at the end of the meal, the server I formed us that she comped the calamari - very nice customer service. We ordered the bread board which was fresh focaccia served with EVOO, house churned butter, Icelandic salt, and blood orange honey butter. They were all delicious, but I could have eaten the blood orange honey butter with a spoon! I had the lobster tagliatelle which was delicious. The tagliatelle was a perfect al dented, and the lobster bisque that was drizzled over the dosh was perfect to stop up with the lobster. The saffron in the dish was subtle and delightful. A delicious Barbera accompanied my meal and complimented it well. My companion had french onion risotto which was unusual and tasty. Dessert for me was a cherry torrone, which would have been better in a smaller bite - it was a bit rich. Still, I loved that it was a different and bold choice for dessert - not run of the mill cannoli or tiramisu. My companion had pistachio baklava which was perfect. Foamy espressos served with sugar pieces ended the meal nicely. This was not a cheap meal - but it was well prepared, well served, and the environment was fantastic. We'll be back.

    Big plates, little food. No room on table for multiple dishes. Food was interesting but no AhHa moment. Incredibly noisy. Serving staff too busy to take care of individual needs. Was not relaxing at all since it was difficult to hear conversation across the tables. A disappointment.

    Second time there. We would not usually return to a restaurant where the menu is so eccentric but we wanted to give it another try. The food was excellent and presented very nicely with explanations of every item. Just a strange menu with difficult-to-maneuver main course choices "for the table". Courses were delivered in a timely manner not meaning to rush or having to wait. Don't think we'll return just because there are other restaurant choices in the area to get "American" food without having to labor over menu choices. Being a bourbon cocktail drinker, I Loved, loved, loved the "calamansi plane" cocktail.

    This was my 1st time dining here and all I can say is AMAZING experience! Atmosphere was classy. Service was rop-notch. Food was excellent. Even gave me and my boyfriend complimentary glasses of champagne and an autographed menu (that I got to take home) because it was my birthday! I recommend this restaurant and I will definitely dine here again! Great job Bardea 👏 👍

    The food is sublime, the service is impeccable. My only complaint is that everything is excessively salty, but nonetheless, delicious. We tried the chicken wings, the gnocchi, rigatoni, steak (like butter!), the cabbage wedge and the donut for dessert. A first-rate dining experience!

    Wife and I came to celebrate our anniversary and we were super pumped to try out Bardea. We got the bread bowl and lamb skewer with hummus to start and shared the NY Strip and cauliflower vegetable dish. The food was very good, my least favorite was the cauliflower dish I really enjoy the taste of cauliflower and this didn’t taste like cauliflower at all to me unfortunately. My favorite was the Hummus, extremely delicious and smooth. The steak was good but mine had a lot of fatty parts besides that though the taste was great and the lamb was also very good. Unfortunately what really lacked in the evening was the service, we asked for a straw and after about 15 min we had to walk to the bar as it did not seem that our server remembered at any point in the night. There was hardly any check ups on our table and it was hard to track the server down for any needs throughout the evening. We would come back again but likely eat at the bar as they seemed to be more on top of it.

    Excellent food in the past and they did not let us down this time either. Judging by the full dinning room other people agree with me. The only issue we had and have had in the past is the noise level but I am not sure the restaurant can do anything about it. Obviously we do not believe it is a reason to stay away since we keep coming back. Highly recommend it.

    This was disappointing. The service was poor and the food was just not great, despite hearing nothing but good things from other people. Also, the tables are very close together and it makes it difficult to eat.

    Service was wonderful. Food was very good…but this is more Italian fusion than classic Italian…which is fine & good, just know that going into it. Contemporary twists on some classics and less basic. I just came back from a tour of Italy so I say this with some conviction (for whatever that’s worth). It’s worth going!

    High Too table near bar… a little tight but no too bad. Table leg uneven…. Had to have waiter stuff a napkin under. Had to ask for napkins as none were on the table. Love the sharing theme, food was really good (seared salmon) a little under cooked for our liking. Waiter did a great job determining the order of dishes served and was very attentive…. Overall good experience!
