All of our dishes, appetizers, & desserts were exquisite. Service was attentive & helpful.
Lovely mid century modern aesthetic. Food was good, a little rich for my taste. But good. A little pricey if you want to try the food and cocktails. I Reccomend doing so since the cocktails were fun and unique. Wish it was more affordable so I could go again, but it will have to be a once in while for special occasions kinda thing. The service was great. Desserts were fun. Highly reccomend if you can afford it. The atmosphere is a big highlight.
what an interesting experience. the food and drinks were completely out of the world, and i'm planning on heading back just to dive head-first in to the menu and eat and drink all of the things! the decor and ambience of bardo is top-notch as well... such a comfy and laid-back vibe. however, the service at the bar was spotty... one bartender just seemed to ignore us and we were forced to flag down the 2nd bartender to get additional drinks, dessert and eventually our check! since it's not a large bar area, it seems surprising that it took such a long time to be noticed when we're obviously trying to get their attention. maybe it was an off night? who knows. the food more than made up for it. :)
I was torn between giving the place a 4 or a 5. Some of the dishes were great. Others were just ok. Of what they’re currently serving - we really enjoyed the gnocchi and duck and potato crochettes. The fish of the day and tuna carpaccio were only ok. Drinks were great. Desert - poached pear with blue cheese ice cream - was more weird than delicious. Great mid-mod atmosphere and service was definitely solid. I would definitely return. Parking: It’s in Oakland. I wouldn’t recommend parking your car in Oakland these days. We took public transportation.
Wow is all I can say. I absolutely loved the vibe and our server was fantastic. I was looking for the perfect dinner spot for 5 when I stumbled upon Bardo. What a spectacular find. I can't wait to go back to try other items on the menu. The food was spot on and just amazing. The apertif bar cart was also very cool. Definitely recommend and will go back. Dietary restrictions: Had several gluten free options which is always a win for me
Went for cocktails only. Great and innovative drinks
