One of the best restaurants I've ever been to, and I'm not exaggerating. Hard to overstate how good this place is. My wife and I made reservations the day before we went and we managed to get a cozy place on the bar. We got the "We Wish You Ama...
ro Christmas" cocktail and I believe it's now my favorite cocktail ever. We ordered the salad, the risotto, and the halibut. Everything absolutely delicious. Like mind-blowing delicious. Fantastic atmosphere and great service. Prices are high, but not that high given the incredible quality of the food. This place is an absolute gem. Can't recommend it enough.

Bardo is a place I’ve wanted to try for awhile… while the outside is non-de script, the interior of this restaurant is beautiful. It has a fantastic mid-century vibe and a beautiful bar.
I ordered the burger and the Oakland Caesar while my wif...
e ordered the Winter Salad and the fish. All four of our dishes were delicious… the burger was juicy. Service was good and very attentive.
All in all, this might be our new date night spot!

This was my first time here and goodness was it ever a vibe!! I don’t know much about the 70s besides I’ve listened to the music, but I definitely liked the environment in the atmosphere here! There’s a quaint little upstairs set up with a litt...
le couch and display area. I love how it’s set up and it set the theme or tone for the restaurant below! There’s also a seating area above the bar, which I would’ve loved to sit in, but our little booth was very quaint! We were next to four girlfriends having their own dessert in a little couch that wrapped around! So cute!!
Our server was very helpful, I wanted something not too sweet but something with a bit of a zing for a cocktail. My boyfriend already knew he wanted The House cosmopolitan because he read the menu before we arrived! Lol I ended up ordering the day spa, it was perfect!! He liked my drink more than his house cosmopolitan or his second drink. He ordered the day spot as well! Hee
My boyfriend and I were starving so he ordered four different dishes off the menu!!
Our dinner:
Squash Risotto- so much FLAVOR
Handmade Fettuccini: the pine nuts were everything!
Local Halibut: so soft and flavorful
Crispy Skin Chicken Breast: wow! I loved the seasoning!
I got the baked apple pie, which was more like a deconstructed apple pie, but it was delicious! My boyfriend got sorbet that was good too, but he liked my deconstructed apple pie Dessert more. Hee
I truly enjoyed the dishes here, but the menu is a little small. Perhaps we just ordered too much?! I would love to come back and have the other dishes. We didn’t get to try yet off the menu. Hee

I'm a regular at this Michelin-starred restaurant and have always enjoyed my visits. The food is exceptional, and I've consistently been impressed. However, my most recent experience was marred by inconsistent service. Our initial server was gr...
eat, but when another server took over, things went downhill. He rushed us, clearing our table without checking if we were finished, and didn't offer us another drink(10pm), despite it being well before closing time(11pm). When we asked if they were in a rush to finish their shift, it seemed to confirm our suspicions. As someone who frequents this restaurant and genuinely loves it, it was particularly disappointing to see such a letdown in service. Hopefully, they can work on maintaining their usual high standards.

very cool vibes, has the look and feel of a swanky 1950s supperclub and bar.
service was attentive with a focus on getting our drink orders.
food and non-alcoholic drink selections were disappointing. small menu on the very expensive side. ...
food was not seasoned properly which i cosider a giant misstep when the place opts not to provide salt at the table. $60 ribeye missed the mark as did the pasta dish. duck was tasty. burger was decent and best bang for your hard-earned buck.
come here for a date you want to impress for a drink and an appetizer is my recommendation.
