We started with the Small plates of Avocado and then the Salmon. The Avocado dish was divine...perfectly warm with tantalizing flavors beneath it. The salmon was really good but we weren't fans of the "crisp" that comes with it which is made from the skin...too fishy for our taste. That's a personal preference. I had the burger and my wife the Cacio e Pepe. Both were also excellent.

Chicken was undercooked. Portions small. Not feeling it. The vibe is nice though

It was a perfect evening to sit out in the garden. Luke was a great server. The burgers were really awesome! One place it was lacking was in the wine selection. Too many rosés and not enough approachable red wines.

Bardea Garden is the wonderful child of Bardea and Bardea Steak. We loved the ambiance and the cuisine was off the charts. The single carrot was extraordinary. The hamburger was as good as it gets. The Filet was breath-taking. My NY foodie friends were blown-away. The elk meatballs and the gnocchi were extraordinary. This was the dinner of the year, so far!!! (Service was only ordinary as Bardea appeared to be understaffed that evening. Still, everyone was so nice....)

Beautiful evening, fantastic food, very busy, but waitstaff did their best to keep up, bar service was a bit slow, but the food was worth it all. Can't wait to come back before snow......

This place is literally the in-between for Bardea and Bardea Steak. Limited, more casual menu. Good food for a nice night out. Calamari has an Asian twist - almost Teriyaki. Shrimp cocktail has nice big shrimp. Burger was good. Pasta was surprisingly just okay.

Excellent food. Great atmosphere. Our favorite restaurant in Wilmington hands down. The service is a bit inconsistent and slow. We far prefer this over the other Bardea's as the music is SO LOUD!!

Lovely garden ambience in good weather, friendly service, delicious bronzino, small serving of salmon but tasty. Nice Saturday night out

We typically eat at the bar inside Bardea however we wanted to try out the Garden and see how we liked it. I must say - I think it was our favorite Bardea experience to date. We have been MANY times to bardea and it truly never disappoints but this experience felt even better. I think the laid back cozy yet open environment made the experience what it was. The food was phenomenal of course! The Ahi Tuna was a favorite for sure! We loved the space and can't wait to come back!

Servers and staff are always great and we especially appreciate how accommodating they have been for us as family members of the band. The food and drinks are amazing, the vibes and ambiance are great, chairs are comfortable, and the views are beautiful.

We have eaten inside at Bardea previously, and the noise level was too much for us. Last night we ate outside on a lovely warm evening and the atmosphere was perfect. Our group of four shared a number of small plates. The Elk meatballs were exceptional and the crab gnocchi and the red pepper risotto were delicious, as was everything else. Only minor complaint is that the various sauces were amazing (not a complaint!!!), but we had no bread to sop up the sauces(I'm a member of the clean plate club!). We eventually realized this and asked for a few slices of bread, and about 10 minutes later were served a bread board of four slices of very warm crusty bread. The bread was excellent, but it was kinda too late, it was too crusty to sop, and I imagine it was fairly pricey (but, since I never actually saw the check details in this all-digital world, I'm only speculating). Providing some bread with the meal would have made this a perfect dining experience.
Dined outside last Friday and enjoyed some great live music! The Garden was buzzing and the night was beautiful! We had great service and the food was delicious! We had pizza, meatballs, salad, and the burger and fries! Everything was so good! Will be back! Oh- and the drinks were great too!

HORRIBLE!! The waiter knew nothing about the menu when questioned. Staff wondering about aimlessly as our water glasses are empty. Served the wrong food. Plus a very scary crowd. Definitely will not be back.
