Bardo

It's all here: innovative cocktails, delicious food, and professional service. It's a real treat to spend time at a restaurant like Bardo. We started with cocktails at the bar: delicious rum and banana flavored tiki drinks. Then sat in the dining room for our meal. The menu had plenty of options, including getting some items in smaller portions to allow us to try more items. We planned a series of dishes and turned it over to the kitchen and our server to plot out the meal. We started with bread and an heirloom tomato salad. This was followed by rainbow trout and gnocchi (1/2 size portions), and finished with the pork belly and a side of seasonal mushrooms. Everything was delicious and expertly prepared. The wine steward provided apt suggestions for pairings with our meal. We finished with the chocolate olive oil cake, which capped off a terrific meal.

The service was outstanding and I loved our server and everyone else we had contact with! The atmosphere is wonderful and the is a super adorable patio area as well. The drinks on their specialty menu are spectacular, especially the lavender one. I'd return just for that drink alone. The food was really good, but not as amazing as the rest of the features of this place. The butter for the bread was so, so yummy though.

Creative, simple and tasty. We went in on a Saturday night, they had a really talented band playing but because of the size the restaurant it was pretty loud and made it hard to talk. The service was prompt, drinks were unique and tasty, along with the food. But nothing blew me away or really jumped out. The grit's had the consistency and taste of mashed potatoes which I'm pretty sure were mashed potatoes. The fried chicken in a bun was just that, fried chicken chopped up and placed into a hotdog bun... Although good it just didn't make sense other than the theme. All in all if you like hotdogs and drinks look no further but I was expecting a little more. ($$)

Amazing food, wine selection , and wait staff. Best meal I’ve ever had. Really! Bardo is a quaint, cozy spot with amazing food. The trout and agnolotti goat cheese pasta were by far the best dishes I have ever had. This will be our regular date spot from now on.

We celebrated our anniversary dinner at Bardo. It started off poorly when we were seated in an alcove that was so dark that my husband hard to use his cell to add more light. It was well beyond mood lighting. Then it took 20 min before anyone took our drink order. After that, they noticed the cell flashlight usage and actually turned up the lights. The evening picked up from there. The food was fairly good and nicely presented. However for the price and service, I’m not sure if it was worth it.

Randomly decided to try Bardo on a whim. We were very pleased. We ordered some cocktails that were fantastic. Our entrees were delicious and the dessert was really good. I would certainly recommend this location. My fiancee and I were looking for a place to go to dinner after seeing a show at the orpheum. I found this place and we decided to go. The two drinks we got were wonderful. One was the mystic which was a little sweet, but not overly sweet and was very bright and refreshing even during the bitter cold. The other drink was the shaman which was very complex and had a wonderful smoke taste from the mezcal. I ordered the large size of the scallops. I would recommend the large size for the scallops. It came with two hefty scallops which I loved. The sauce and the accompaniments complemented them wonderfully. We also got the small order of duck which was a decent amount food. It was also really good. For dessert I got fig ricotta and lavash. I absolutely loved this. It had the right balance of sweet and salty. The other dessert was the lime sorbet. It my fiancee really liked it was not quite what I look for in a dessert.

Tried Bardo for the first time and it was great! Met a friend of mine for happy hour and I was impressed with the happy hour menu. Drinks were $8, shrimp and grits $17, and crackers with cheese pimento $5... Everything we tried was on the happy hour menu and it was excellent (though the pimento and cracker plate could of been presented better, it was delicious nevertheless). The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly (both my friend and I are Asian and we both felt very welcomed there) and we enjoyed her suggestions very much. The decor was pleasant and inviting. Looked like they have a patio too so I'm definitely going to go back when it's patio weather! Overall experience was superb.

Excellent service and food! Great had craft cocktails and food. They have great small plates and sides for you to try. I will for sure be back!
