- RRichardVIPPhiladelphia County •90 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoBardea Steak keeps getting better, if that’s possible. The menu has been slightly refreshed, but still offering our favs (house salad is fantastic, and an easy split if you want to indulge in an app or a couple sides). We had the loaded potato, an espuma cheddar-encrusted dream with a creamy sauce, a perfect compliment to our filets. The latter were the best ever, perfectly cooked and adorned with an incredible glaze - wonderful. The staff we interacted with, from the welcome, to our server and wine selection everyone was so friendly, professional and attentive. Seems they all truly enjoy their work and their place of work especially. That says a lot about providing a wonderful dining experience, which they certainly did.More infoBardea SteakPrice: Expensive• Italian• Wilmington•4.8

Discover Delaware
Known as "The First State," Delaware is also first on the list for East Coast diners to discover a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of nearby larger cities without even needing to book a plane ticket. With most of the state bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, it's the perfect place to experience the dining delights of the sea. Those with a gusto for shellfish can crack into their own whole, grilled lobster, or kick back and enjoy a cold beer and oysters Rockefeller while enjoying the beauty of sandy beaches and nearby wetlands. Those who yearn for old favorites with new twists will find their beach sandals knocked off by goat cheese and rosemary pizza. The coast never tasted so good.
