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!
