Charming

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.

Beautiful restaurant and delicious food! Bug be warned about Lakeshore Ave. Left and my car windows were smashed in. I knew better to have anything in the car. But apparently that didn’t matter. I’ll never be returning bc the area just isn’t good, sadly.

We are so lucky to have this place as our neighborhood go-to!! The food is always outstanding, and the service is impeccable, with an attentive style that remains down-to-earth and low-key in the best way. Creative and innovative cocktails are served by approachable staff in a hip yet comfortable atmosphere. During our most recent visit, we shared the Oakland Ceasar, which included flavorful, bright cherry tomatoes and lettuce perfectly dressed with avocado Caesar dressing. We split two entrees, one being the duck breast, pomegranate-cabbage salad, and sweet potato puree in a rich and well-balanced sauce. The serving size was large but such that we didn't feel overstuffed. The other entree we shared was the chard-wrapped whitefish (grouper?) and brussell spouts in another delicious sauce, which was also exceptional. They offer a number of small plates that looked delicious and we're looking forward to trying those when we return. Couches, bar seats, and high tops are available for reservation beyond dining tables. Such an inviting place that's easy to love. I bring all of my out of town visitiors to this favorite neighborhood gem :)

The winter menu has a duck dish that was out of this world. They also have great non and low alcohol cocktails on the list of regular cocktails that they are known for.

Wonderful experience and delicious each and every plate. I can’t wait to go back even just to sit at the bar for a cocktail and some duck rolls! It’s been a while since covid to experience a restaurant where the staff genuinely cares and provides top-notch dining service even though we had 2 kids with us for our special Pre-Thanksgiving occasion.

We’ve dined several times at Bardo & love it! However last night we were disappointed in the service. Our reservation was not ready until 40 minutes later & the hostess was not the slightest bit apologetic. Our server offered no knowledge of the menu and rarely checked in. The food was amazing as always but we would’ve definitely ordered a second bottle of wine had our waiter been around.

We sat at the bar, the service was great. Each dish we ordered was delicious, the ribeye was the best. Took the bartender’s recommendation about drinks and they were excellent.
