My fiancé and I stopped for a quick dinner before our event at the observatory. Quick seating and the food was very good. What stood out was our server; Lily. Lily was AMAZING! Very talkative and made you feel not only welcome but like you were family. Ask for Lily’s section if you can; we actually hung out for a little while after dinner to chat with her when she had a few moments; made a quick dinner very memorable!

Last night we made a last-minute decision to go to Bardea for dinner. The place was packed but we sat at a table quickly. The food was so good. We normally get the spicy honey pizza. It was good however lacked enough sauce for the cheese and toppings to stay on the pizza, everything slid off but it was still soo good. Emily was an amazing server and each staff member was knowledgeable and attentive. RUN TO BARDEA!!!

From start to finish, our meal was phenomenal. The pork tostado and elk meatballs were delightful snacks. The Piedmontese filet and Japanese Wagyu steaks were tender and perfectly seasoned. The homemade Carrot Cake was perfect finale. We're looking forward to taking the whole family for dinner soon.
