Restaurants near Christiana North Jetty Lighthouse

I took my son, his wife, and my 11-year-old grandson to Bardea on a Friday night. They live in Silicon Valley, where they have three Michelin-starred restaurants within driving distance. They agreed that the food at this place is better than what you get at two of those restaurants, and the equal of the third. What more needs to be said? Except that the service was friendly and efficient, and the place was full the whole time we were there. Not inexpensive, but it won't break the bank. And you can/should share everything with tablemates.

The Food was fantastic! Their crab cake special is orange size is and no filler! Simply divine! !

Bardea Steak surpassed all of our expectations! Every single dish was outstanding. The pork tostada and the elk meatballs as starters were the perfect portion and full of flavor. We did the Butcher Steak to try 6 different steaks. Best steak we’ve ever had and every cut was different but delicious! Service from the bartenders, to server Jason, to food runners as exceptional. Can’t wait to come back!

Service solid, kind, and quick! Loved that. Also enjoyed the tacos, vodka penne, and thank you for keeping the black bean burger. It’s so flavorful. However, although the food is generally solid, the choices of veggie sides now just being incredible bitter broccolini or spinach just isn’t great. Im a huge veggie lover, but I left the whole side of broccolini on the plate. Broccoli alone or bringing back the roasted veggies would be a welcome add. Also, the kids Mac and cheese being elevated from Kraft would be appropriate. Or at least make that a side kids can order. Most restaurants make their own in house and it’s appreciated/noticed.

We enjoyed the food greatly as always. There was only one waitress (for 30+ patrons) in this evening. With this caution, I felt the lady did an excellent job with her workload. We were not neglected. However, the lady had to rush One person in our party has food allergies. The lady managed it very well. We are grateful.
