Bardea Food & Drink

Absolutely perfect!!! The food was delicious. The decor and presentation was exceptional and the staff was wonderful!!! We will definitely be back. If you've never been, you must go.

I don't know if I had an unusual experience here, but a friend and I came in after a show at The Grand. At first we we're told the kitchen was closed (it was just after 10PM), then the manager followed us out and said "if we ordered quickly", they could serve us - we decided to accept his offer. There was nothing awful about our meal, but it didn't knock me off my feet as I expected from a James Beard Award-nominated spot. The meatballs had very little flavor, and the octopus was undercooked. I will say the pizza was pretty good, but after a couple drinks each, our tab was just under $100, and I left underwhelmed. Again, I don't know if we caught them on an off night, but I expected more.

A friend and I went tonight to try their Restaurant Week menu. The entire experience was fantastic. The restaurant is beautiful. The staff knows the menu and had spot on recommendations. There were 2 managers (at least) on the floor making sure everything was to your liking. They checked in on us 3 times which may seem like a lot but they were not at all intrusive. Infact my friend commented that often restaurants give less attention when you are there for promotions and she was very impressed with our treatment. And now for the most important thing. I've been hearing about how amazing the food here was for months. There was a really high bar for me. I had big expectations. They did not disappoint. Every bite of food was perfect. It was so well prepared. The attention to detail is high here. ????????????
