Recommended in the MICHELIN Guide for California 2021-2023. Located in Oakland’s historic Grand Lake District, Bardo is a neighborhood lounge and restaurant inspired by the comfort and camaraderie of a mid-century dinner party. Drawing on the celebration and elegance of old school entertaining, we envisioned a space for friends and neighbors to enjoy amazing food, cocktails, conversation and great music. Our lounge is a swank living room, furnished with hand-picked finds from antique and vintage markets from Palm Springs to Portland. Our mezzanine dining room features a rotating menu of fresh, seasonal supper-fare with local and sustainably sourced meats, fish and produce. While we think the food, drinks and atmosphere are all great reasons to visit us, it’s the relationships with our friends, neighbors and guests that is the driving force behind Bardo.

This was my second time in two weeks having lunch at the restaurant. Again, the service, the food, the martini were fabulous. I am a meat lover and this restaurant does not disappoint . I will return soon.

The Thanksgiving to-go meal from Mago is an absolute delight. We have made a tradition of buying our Thanksgiving feast here and making our lives easier and more enjoyable. The food is fantastic: the turkey is moist and flavorful, the sides are excellent. What a fantastic experience each and every year.

Truly a once in a lifetime luxurious experience. Thank you Commis for making my 60th birthday celebration so memorable and special.
