    Love this restaurant. This was our 3rd visit. Rationale for the two 4 Stars that were selected is we were not offered the Tuesday Date Night special. The only special presented was a seafood type pasta. We would have taken advantage of this if it had been presented as an option. We did not find out about it until we returned home and seen it on social media.

    My fiance and I had a lovely dinner yesterday night at Bardo. I made a mistake thinking our reservation was for 6:45 but when we showed up I was mistaken! They were so accomidating and ended up making a spot for us! The food is delish, 10/10. We had not been there since the new rebrand but we loved the new atmosphere and design of Bardo. Also very clean and staff was efficient and friendly! Would reccomend!
