    Bardea Steak surpassed all of our expectations! Every single dish was outstanding. The pork tostada and the elk meatballs as starters were the perfect portion and full of flavor. We did the Butcher Steak to try 6 different steaks. Best steak we’ve ever had and every cut was different but delicious! Service from the bartenders, to server Jason, to food runners as exceptional. Can’t wait to come back!

    Lovely experience with excellent food, service and ambience. Good pace despite a very large party in the dining room. The only disappointment was only 3 scallops in a$39 entree. Portions on steak special and pork chop were very generous.

    We enjoyed the food greatly as always. There was only one waitress (for 30+ patrons) in this evening. With this caution, I felt the lady did an excellent job with her workload. We were not neglected. However, the lady had to rush One person in our party has food allergies. The lady managed it very well. We are grateful.

    We started with the Small plates of Avocado and then the Salmon. The Avocado dish was divine...perfectly warm with tantalizing flavors beneath it. The salmon was really good but we weren't fans of the "crisp" that comes with it which is made from the skin...too fishy for our taste. That's a personal preference. I had the burger and my wife the Cacio e Pepe. Both were also excellent.
