    We had the best experience here. It was my husbands 40th bday dinner and we were greeted with champagne, a happy birthday message from the chef on our menus, a scoop of gelato with a candle at dessert. Our server was amazing and the food really was top notch. Thank you Bardea!

    Delicious and creative menu. Energetic atmosphere (can be a little loud). Great for celebrations. I have dined here several times. A favorite.

    Food was overall decent. Some things excellent, some so-so. Pacing was terrible. Waiting sometimes 20 minutes between plates. We were brought one of our plates twice and the server seemed shocked that we had already gotten it. We saw two other tables turn away food they hadn’t ordered, including one table that had to turn away three plates that were not meant for them.

    Bardea is always great. The new menu is fantastic. We recommend the chicken parm bao bun to start. We shared the halibut which was delicious. We both chose the agnolotti. It was one of our favorite pasta dishes. As always, Emily was a wonderful server with great recommendations. She is always personable and professional. Thanks to her and the entire team for a great experience.

    We ordered several small plates and unfortunately there was a mixup in the kitchen and the last one took over 30 minutes to arrive. The waitress and the house manager were very apologetic and actually comped us for the item. The waitress was very attentive and the food was excellent. The only real complaint was that it was very noisy.

    Everything we ordered (Avocado, Calamari, Snapper, Salad, and desert (Pistachio Cake and Strawberry desert) was outstanding. The flavors were subtle and exquisite. The chef deserves to be a James Beard winner! The servers, especially Luke, were attentive, knowledgeable and made sure that everything was to perfection. Looking forward to a return visit in the near future!

    Service was wonderful. Our waitress brought us a glass of champagne and a candle in our dessert to celebrate my birthday. The food in between was delicious
