    Had high expectations but our dinner for four was poorly executed and the staff seemed embarrassed by what took 3+ hours for dinner service. To preface this, my wife and i have dined here before and that experience was everything you’d want in a perfectly executed meal, attentive staff, and precision in execution. We were very excited to share this experience with another couple. This evening was very different from our first experience. We had multiple wait staff throughout the night which seemed disjointed and confusing. We watched other tables completed their meals from start to finish before we even had entrees. The wait staff knew our food was taking way too long and so once it finally arrived (sides brought out first? Then 3/4 entrees, and then the last entree), they seemed to avoid our table. The butchers tasting was explained in a rush and the young lady presenting left us a card to explain everything we were about to eat. We had finished a bottle of wine and no one ever asked if we needed anything more to drink. To amend the experience, i am assuming the mananger (did not introduce himself) did comp us a bao bun appetizer, a flavored butter for the steaks, and deducted 15% off of the bill. Overall, the food was tasty, once it arrived but explained poorly. The service was sloppy missing opportunities to sell us more drinks and clearly felt bad that mistakes had been made in the kitchen that were beyond their control and we felt as if they were avoiding our table. We had an expectation of a high end steak house to celebrate two adult birthdays but received what seemed like an “Eatin’ Good in the Neighborhood” experience with multiple apologies but no explanations.

    Daniel was outstanding! Exceptional service and dining experience. The restaurant accommodated our request to move into the private dining area for a more comfortable experience - which we appreciate!

    Honestly 10/10. Everything was amazing from appetizers to mains to deserts to drinks. If you’re between steak and food & drink 100% go to steak. It’s delicious.

    Loved this restaurant. As with Bardea “original,” Bardea steak is an amazing experience. The steak was among the best I’ve had. We had some valet parking issues and the manager apologized and treated us to an appetizer which was very thoughtful. The waiter was very attentive and friendly. And again, the steak was so flavorful I’ll be beach again, what an experience. Bardea and Bardea Steak are a breath of fresh air in Wilmington and Delaware and give off vibes if being in a top restaurant in NYC, Chicago or any major city. Will be back again.

    Wow- Bardera steak was amazing! Our party of five shared the butchers block with the add on, and each piece was delicious. Sides were amazing - we shared cabbage and mushrooms with salmon and tater tot to start. Our waiter Marco was great. I just wish I had come here sooner!!

    Food quality terrific. Service lacking. Ladies served last and we had to wait several minutes before the last two recreceived their meals, then the last one even longer and then it was incomplete. Of course our $150. steaks cooled off while we waited ( actually we had to start a bit before the last was served). Sides were not hot either. Server seemed rushed but pleasant. What could have been a great dining experience only an ok experience.
