    We had 8 people for dinner and sampled a number of dishes from "snacks" to small plates to table shares (entrees) as well as several sides. Without exception, every dish was very good to excellent -- no weak entries. Even the gem salad was cold, crisp, flavorful and simply fresh tasting. Our server was personable and knowledgeable and the entire staff was very efficient and unobtrusive. The restaurant was about 3/4 full and pretty noisy -- good energy but not a place for a quiet evening. We had not been back in about 18 months and all agreed that Bardea has only gotten better.

    I celebrated my 40th birthday yesterday and the waiter presented a menu that wished me a happy birthday from the manager. She soon followed up with complimentary glasses of champagne for me and my guests! The food was more of a culinary experience and it was some of the best food I’ve ever had in Delaware. The cocktails are prepared by mixologists/bartenders that know what they’re doing. We ordered espresso martinis and lemon drops. It was an amazing experience!

    The dining experience was overall pleasant, with a notable emphasis on the quality and presentation of the dishes, befitting a fine dining establishment. However, there is room for improvement in the service, particularly regarding the efficiency of taking orders and reducing wait times. While it is understandable that the preparation of high-quality meals requires time, a more streamlined process for placing orders would enhance the overall experience.

    Food was ok, but disappointing, given what we expected. Oversalted fish and eggplant parm was little tough and chewy and sauce tasted like it came from a jar. Way overpriced for what how good it was, just disappointed in the flavor. Service was great, but charging 25 to valet park after dropping 200 on dinner is a little excessive. Tables incredibly close with club music playing too loudly.

    I loved the flair with the cuisine. I enjoyed how busy it was actually too. But by far, our server Jacob made our first time experience here way more enjoyable! I’ll be returning and will ask to sit in his section :)

    The valet parking cost was outrageous. Not a good way to set the tone. Beyond that, everything else was wonderful
