We had a wonderful experience for Valentine's Day. We would rate accessibility a 2/5 considering that my partner had a hard time accessing the stool with her injury, and the washrooms appear to be down a long flight of stairs. There is also no seating area to wait for your table. We had the pleasure of sitting at the bar where we received exceptional service, and we were enamored by the bartenders' skill. Would definitely recommend it!!

My fiancee & I reserved a table on Valentines Day. This was both our 1st time and our experience was amazing. All the staffs were very friendly and helpful. Our reservation was at 845 we got there a little early so we werw seated in the beautiful esthetically cocktail area which was well decorated. The views were amazing scenery was breath taking and the it gave a grown, sexy & mature vibe. Food 10/10 I ordered the lamb and my partner ordered ribs.

Bardo consistency delivers A+ marks in every category. Sitting at the bar we’ve come to know our server/bartender and will stick to her for our guest experiences everytime. For years they have maintained a amazing, clean, friendly atmosphere with food that is ever-so satisfying, and does not leave you feeling greasy, queasy, or overall gross like a lot of franchise resto’s do. A MUST try in Guelph. Patio is also amazing. And DO NOT forget some take home ice cream. Worth its value.

Everyone was awesome to the front gate man - to the hostess- to the waitress- to the manager! The food is impeccable and I am very picky when it comes to “chef” quality. The view and atmosphere is spectacular and unique. Calming while looking at the river. It is clean and attentive to anything you need. I even asked for pepper and didn’t see it on the table but they offered to have the chef freshly grind some ( I used the table one haha) but honestly well done guys and will be back of course! A true gem in our community - hats off
