    Bardea never disappoints! Delicious food, perfectly paired wine, and excellent service keep us coming back time and again. We particularly enjoyed the avocado, calamari, and cauliflower on this visit although we’ve never tried anything that we didn’t like. Thank you for a memorable Valentine’s dinner. Can’t wait to try your sister restaurants!

    Meal was one of the best I've had. It's been our anniversary spot starting since our first date and never disappoints.

    Food was hit and miss, most dishes were excellent but a couple were not good , undercooked or overly sweet. Staff removed both dishes from the bill.

    I was excited to come to this place as it receives good reviews. We ordered two different pastas. Mine was the scallops and shrimp pasta. I was very disappointed with the dish as it contained 99.9% linguini and only a few tiny tiny slivers (!) of shrimp and scallops. When I offered feedback about this feedback, the hostess came to apologize and explain that this was a brand new dish and that she would take my feedback to the Chef. She offered to take the dish of the check which was a very nice gesture. Even with that, I will not return to Bardea. The dishes are all extremely small (to be fair, they state up front when you order that all dishes are small, like "tapa style") and very expensive for the size. I have eaten at tapa restaurants...in such restaurants, the dishes are priced according to the size. Certainly not $25 for a tiny bit of pasta. If they want to be a tapa style restaurant, then they should 1) state this on their web page so that people can make an informed decision whether or not they would like to dine at this restaurant (right now, it only says plates are designed to be shared) and 2) adjust their prices to tapa style prices. Be warned: expect to spend close to $100 for one person if you don't want to go home hungry!

    Everything was absolutely delicious!! They didn’t have a kids menu, but my son ordered a pizza. We went with the upside down pizza suggested by our waitress. When it arrived, it had “green stuff” on it, and my son almost had an absolute meltdown🙄. Our waitress was so sweet and she took it back immediately got him a pain pizza and gave us the other one boxed up to take home. The food the atmosphere and the service were 10 out of 10 will definitely be back.

    Last night we made a last-minute decision to go to Bardea for dinner. The place was packed but we sat at a table quickly. The food was so good. We normally get the spicy honey pizza. It was good however lacked enough sauce for the cheese and toppings to stay on the pizza, everything slid off but it was still soo good. Emily was an amazing server and each staff member was knowledgeable and attentive. RUN TO BARDEA!!!
