    Bardea is my favorite restaurant. I love how they explain the ingredients and how the chef cooks the food. Everything is always delicious, even the drinks. I always receive the best customer service which is another reason I always come back.

    Food, drinks and service were all very Excellent. Everything was prepared and executed perfectly that we tried. But it is very cramped, tables are right on top on of each other, waitstaff have no choice but to brush by you in certain areas. It was also very loud (it was quite busy, but I’ve been to plenty of places that aren’t very loud when busy) you had to all but yell to hear the other people at your table. And the lights are kept very dim during dinner service. We could see fine, but every person in there over 50 had their phones out with the flashlight on waving it around to see their menu like they were at a Neil Diamond concert or something, so be ready for that. Granted, we went on a Friday evening. We would definitely go back, however probably only on a slower night like a Tuesday. We love the food, beverages and service, but it was way too cramped and loud, especially for an expensive place, on the weekend. If you don’t mind those things, you’ll love it anytime you go.

    Made a reservation over a week in advance and still had to wait 25 minutes to be seated. The dining area is tight and loud with poor acoustics. The waitress had to talk loudly for us to even hear her. We order 1 drink and then decided to go somewhere else for dinner.

    Creative and very tasty menu. The food was the highest quality, uber creative, beautiful presentation, and explained well by the staff. The cocktails were world class classic and not some ridiculous complex amalgam of ingredients .Bar staff were first rate!!

    Ashley had her hands full with us, but did a phenomenal job! The food is incredible and we tasted 1/3 of the menu almost among the 6 of us. It's no wonder the Chef is a James Beard nominee!
