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.

    We had a party of 7 for a birthday dinner. The seafood fettuccine was outstanding. The lamb rack, the sole, and the prime rib were also excellent. The only minor disappointment was the braised short rib, which was good, but not great, especially in comparison to the other dishes. We were pleased with the appetizers, calamari and the filet mignonettes were both very good. We brought one bottle of red wine and ordered a bottle of a French white burgundy, so they waved the corkage on the bottle that we brought. Cocktails from the bar were properly made and tasty. I look forward to going back again. I should note that there isn't any on-site parking, so arrive a bit early to locate an on-street parking spot.

    Nice place for lunch; good food, great service. The harbor is now not being used (since Covid) which I’m sure hurt the restaurant but it survives and is still a nice place to eat.
