    This is a spot that I've been covering a visit to fire a long time and it didn't disappoint. The cocktails had a nice punch but didn't bowl you over with the distinct burn. The seafood tower was fresh and paired with the most amazing sauces. The steaks were so tender, I barely needed a knife and cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes were so light but flavorful. Then the creme brulèe was prepared with such thought that every bite was crisp and accompanied with a silky cream. Paired with the latte, this was a prefect meal in a beautifully curated atmosphere with the most charismatic and timely service provided by our server, Teddy. This is the perfect venue for a date night or big event, don't miss out on Tonic!

    A mistake on my part started off badly but turned into a wonderful meal with a wonderful server ( wish I had gotten her name) and a most delicious meal with melt in your mouth filet of beef. Warning!!! There is Bardea Food and Drink and Bardea Steak!! Make sure you know which one your reservation is for! Our server saved the day with delicious options to make for a complete meal explaining each dish to our party of four and timed each course perfectly. We had theater tickets so were aware of the time and arrived to our show in plenty of time. Turned into a great experience and will definitely be aware of which BARDEA we’re dining at next time! Any item on the menu will be a true culinary delight!!

    This was basically a nice experience . It was basically empty when we got there but soon became extremely busy and loud so not as relaxing as we had hoped:) Don’t like that they automatically add 20 % tip to bill and then think you should give more??? For just 2 people!! Large group yes but 2? We are usually good tippers so if they had given us the chance the waitress probably would have gotten a bigger tip but adding right away as you bring the bill … NO Thank you!! Doubt we will return even though the cinnamon rolls were amazing !!

    Limited menu, but don’t be afraid to ask the chef for what you want. My wife wanted linguine with clams ( not on the menu). They made the dish for her. I had a perfectly cooked veal chop. Great restaurant!

    We started with the Small plates of Avocado and then the Salmon. The Avocado dish was divine...perfectly warm with tantalizing flavors beneath it. The salmon was really good but we weren't fans of the "crisp" that comes with it which is made from the skin...too fishy for our taste. That's a personal preference. I had the burger and my wife the Cacio e Pepe. Both were also excellent.
