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.

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.

Great dinner as always at Donato. We had the cured tuna special salad to start, the Mezze Maniche and Tortelloni to follow and then shared the Crema Cotta for desert. Excellent food, great service.

Had an extraordinary dining experience with their 10-course meal with their fabulous wine pairing. I really appreciated the wines chosen so thoughtfully that enhanced and complimented the flavors of each dish and was happy to discover some wonderful international wines. Truly a once in a lifetime luxurious experience. Thank you Commis for making my 60th birthday celebration so memorable and special.

Daughter Thai is always good. I think they have updated their menu with new, innovative items (Thai tea/lemonade, and lots of new alcohollic bevvies) so it is even more interesting.

Delicious food that was deeply flavored and surprisingly bright (sometimes soul food can seem super heavy and overwhelming). A perfect brunch spot. I’m eager to bring others and to try their dinner menu. Chef and staff were very pleasant and professional.
