Price: Expensive
• Contemporary American • Oakland
Booked 19 times today
Recommended in the MICHELIN Guide for California 2021-2023. Located in Oakland’s historic Grand Lake District, Bardo is a neighborhood lounge and restaurant inspired by the comfort and camaraderie of a mid-century dinner party. Drawing on the celebration and elegance of old school entertaining, we envisioned a space for friends and neighbors to enjoy amazing food, cocktails, conversation and great music. Our lounge is a swank living room, furnished with hand-picked finds from antique and vintage markets from Palm Springs to Portland. Our mezzanine dining room features a rotating menu of fresh, seasonal supper-fare with local and sustainably sourced meats, fish and produce. While we think the food, drinks and atmosphere are all great reasons to visit us, it’s the relationships with our friends, neighbors and guests that is the driving force behind Bardo.

    Exceptionally prepared food, always a surprise with the layers of flavor in every dish! The oysters leave you wanting more. The "coconut cakes" are such a surprise, smooth and delicious with an unexpected little kick. The roasted eggplant which looks so plain and then is so flavorful with perfect texture. We always have to have the catfish salad which is actually lettuce cups you get to make and enjoy. Finally the lobster pad Thai which is better than any other! Every dish with layers of flavor and varied textures. This restaurant is a must stop every time we are in the area.

    The staff was very accommodating and kind. I was there with a friend, celebrating her birthday, in a torrential downpour which caused her to be quite late for our reservation due to traffic. They assured us that it was no problem. We enjoyed the Kumamoto oysters, which were very fresh and expertly prepared. We had the zucchini sticks, which were nice and crispy, and came with a bright and delicious dipping sauce. We also ordered the cheesy plate, and were pleasantly surprised by a lovely sweet French toast-like slice of bread along with the lovely selection of cheeses and honeycomb and marmalade. For our mains, we both chose the filet, and we were not disappointed. Very flavorful, and the mushroom risotto they came with was excellent. We will definitely be coming back soon.

    I had two new items on the menu - the sausage and gnocchi entree and the carrot cake both were delicious. The service was excellent, as always.
