    Bardea never disappoints. Service was superb … the best we have had yet - and we were a large party of 9. Drinks were kept filled without along. Food arrived in a timely manner. One of the most exceptional servers we have ever had! Food was lovely as always. The burrata puff pastry always delights. Meatballs were excellent - as was the sauce. Tomahawk steak cooked a perfect medium rare. Grilled king prawn perfection. Hot honey pizza again delicious. Spaghetti with clams spot on. Everyone loved the raviolis and potatoes. Consensus favorite dish … the cauliflower! This is our special occasion with a large group restaurant and it is always an exceptional experience.

    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.

    Lovely meal and tasty drinks. Started with a Whiskey Business and a white sangria, both delicious. We opted for the classic alpine fondue with French bread, pretzel bread, apples, cauliflower, peppers and carrots for dipping. We also ordered the charcuterie plate which had chorizo, summer sausage, prosciutto, delicious whole grain mustard, fig spread, artisan grain and fruit crackers, pickles, Peruvian red pearl peppers, olives and pearl onions - a great accompaniment to the fondue and not too heavy.

    The best Cowboy Cut Pork Chop I’ve ever had! The Brussels were a little too oily but mashed sweet potatoes were yummy! Overall, good food, good value, and good service.
