Mid-century themed eatery with American staples, craft cocktails
"This "lounge" lets you time travel back to the swinging 60s. The space is comprised of cozy nooks, all meticulously curated with throwback flair, as well as a more traditional dining room upstairs. Note the cool couples in the alcoves, nibbling bites from groovy vintage metal tray tables. Earnest service keeps it all in check.The menu matches the mood; and cocktails, like those punch bowls, figure largely. While nostalgia peppers the carte, familiar-sounding items like broccolini casserole and porcupine meatballs have been reimagined with sparkling results—think lemongrass vinegar and mint aïoli. Can't decide thanks to one-too-many sips of the stirring stuff? Order the "Dinner Party Menu," which leaves you in the hands of this capable kitchen." - Michelin Inspector
"Snagging a reservation for the pop-up Hi Felicia Supper Club in 2021 was appealing for many reasons. There was the promise of fine dining-level food by chef Imana, in the unconventional setting of her apartment balcony, with sweeping views of the Oakland hills and a handful of other diners around you. Not only did the food taste delectable, but an undercurrent also ran through the space: the feeling of being very in the know." - Dianne de Guzman
"Besides dishing out delectable American dishes, Bardo Lounge doubles as a time machine. Comprised of cozy nooks sprinkled with midcentury-modern touches, the restaurant’s swinging 60s vibe transports guests the second they enter." - Kevin Chau
"Owned by Seth and Jenni Bregman and located nearby, Bardo Lounge & Supper Club is known for its luxe, midcentury modern vibes and is the source of the chef and bar director now helping to reshape Sidebar; while Bardo tends to make “tons and tons of things in-house,” Dimond says he won’t simply replicate Bardo’s exact drink program at Sidebar, though he will bring some of Bardo’s inventiveness behind the bar." - Dianne de Guzman
"I note that Bardo, new to South End this year, is an intimate, chef-driven restaurant offering high-end, selective cuisine with global influences from Spanish to Japanese—regular items include oysters with grains of paradise, charred shishito peppers and veal sweetbreads—and its New Year’s Eve menu is a specific three-course offering with wine and cocktail pairings." - Katie Toussaint
