    Server was attentive, but not overly. Seafoods, salads, and sides were perfectly cooked. Even though the place was crowded, we never felt rushed and the place remained quiet. What more could you ask for?

    Bardea never disappoints. Service was superb … the best we have had yet - and we were a large party of 9. Drinks were kept filled without along. Food arrived in a timely manner. One of the most exceptional servers we have ever had! Food was lovely as always. The burrata puff pastry always delights. Meatballs were excellent - as was the sauce. Tomahawk steak cooked a perfect medium rare. Grilled king prawn perfection. Hot honey pizza again delicious. Spaghetti with clams spot on. Everyone loved the raviolis and potatoes. Consensus favorite dish … the cauliflower! This is our special occasion with a large group restaurant and it is always an exceptional experience.

    My friends and I visited Winterthur today and stopped by Eclipse Bistro on our way back home to New Jersey. We were greeting by a friendly host and shown to a nice table by the window. Our meal was perfect--one ordered a burger, one ordered the shrimp salad, one ordered the chop salad. The meals were perfect. Our server, Patrick, was so kind and helpful. Overall, the atmosphere was charming and comfortable, and this was a perfect fit for 3 BFFs. Would definitely return to this restaurant if in the area.
