Bardea Food & Drink

DINERS BEWARE: just want to bring this to people attention when we got our bill we found out we got charge a 3% employee benefit fee on our bill in addition to $2 per person water fee. For this 2 reasons alone I would not return to this restaurant. They should of already factor those into the price of the dishes not to added as an added charge to the customer. And if they were to do that they should have a notice on the door not for you to find out when the bill comes. This place is overpriced and overrated. Came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday. There were 7 of us so we were recommended by our server to order at least 2 of the to share dishes and at least 1 small plate per person. So we ordered a bunch of small dishes to share. The octopus was my favorite. I was pretty disappointed at the pasta dish especially when you claim yourself to be an Italian restaurant I had high expectations on the pasta dishes. I find the portion to be a bit overpriced for the amount of food you get. The pizza was decent. The two to share for the table dish steak $176 for 44 oz which doesn’t look like 44 oz. Looks more like 36 oz to me and fish $135 was just ok. I honestly think the $29 bone in ribeye from Texas Roadhouse taste way better and cost about 1/3 the price per oz than this place. And the fish is nothing special for $135 for 3.5 lb. So if you decide to try out this place don’t waste your $300 on those 2 items. Our server she was amazing and very attentive. She constantly comes by to check on us. I have food allergies they mistakenly gave us one of the small plate that they did not remove the stuff I was allergic to but our server came by and caught it before we started eating and took it back to the kitchen to replace it for us. The restaurant is a cute little restaurant with a great atmosphere. If you are around the area and been thinking of trying this place by all means give it a try but be warned of the overpriced and overhype of the food. I had high expectations of the steak and fish but very disappointed. A few of us left hungry and unsatisfied. For the price we paid I felt we should leave full and satisfied but that wasn’t the case. We would not be returning to this establishment.

Last night we had dinner at Bardea. Our bill was over $500 (which is fine) and the food was mediocre at best. We ordered appetizers, dinner, cocktails, and wine. I was VERY surprised to see we were charged for water ( not bottled) and we had to pay $16 toward the employee health benefits. Now, I believe the employees deserve benefits but Bardea is one of several restaurants and the corporation should be paying that, not your guests. This restaurant is over hyped. They over promise and under deliver. I’ll never go back

Best old fashion and octopus.

Thee BEST culinary experience I’ve ever had! The food and staff was amazing! The hubby and I will be back for sure!

Every plate was excellent, and our waiter Jacob was top notch. Can't believe it took us so long to eat here!

Excellent food. A bit pricey. They do charge a 3% employee fee to each bill and charge for water.

Pros: great ambiance, fancy plating, and interesting Italian fusion tapas. Con: pricey but taste not mind blowing

Despite having a reservation, we waited for more than 40 minutes to be seated. No one apologized to us. Unprofessional and rude.
