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.

This was the first time I had eaten there. The food was delicious. The service was great and the atmosphere is very nice. They had a couple large parties there so it was a little noisy. Definitely would go back again.

We shared the Family Dinner with the wine pairing last night and it was wonderful. What the Burdell kitchen puts together is always so delicious. Anticipation of each serving was like opening a present. Big love to the folks who keep it moving with pleasantness and grace. Peace and blessings to Ife and her family.

We were excited to go to Fizz having heard all about it on the Diablo Dish. The ambiance was great, we felt like we were in a Bar in France, and, comfortable. Andreas, our Server, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We don't drink a lot of Champagne, but we very much enjoyed our Tasting and learned a couple things, also, the Food was more than I expected and our appetizer was great. I would say as an fyi, it is pricey and they do oversell their Memberships a bit. We plan to go back and try more.
