Bardo

For a guy that specializes in burgers, burritos, bacon and everything in between... I don't find myself in high end restaurants often. Its not that I don't appreciate them, its just that I'm cheap and value quantity over quality more often. I have however spent quite some time trying to work on that and have had the honor of dining at Michelin restaurants on both coasts. Those experiences have elevated my appreciation for the manic obsessive attention to detail that these restaurants specialize in. Chef Hart is undoubtedly one of the best things to ever happen to the QC and my trip to Bardo was one that I'll always remember. I don't care what excuse you need to make... book a reservation and get to a restaurant ran by Chef Hart before you die. Trust me, its worth every dollar.

We did the 5 course experience and the tier 2 wine pairing. Our servers - both named Crystal - were outstanding. The vibe is a bit different than we were expecting. Outkast bumping and graffiti and an overall minimal setup. If you’re coming here expecting a ton of food you should go elsewhere. We were here for interesting food and a unique experience. It delivered. Everything was good, no bombs anywhere. The best part of our meal was the mushroom meringues in the leek dish. They were fantastic and we could’ve eaten those by the handful and been very happy.

So this place is overall just awesome. The atmosphere is completely not what I expected but I absolutely loved. The staff is super knowledgeable about the food, drinks, and the pairings. Don't ask about the menu just sit back and enjoy whatever comes out to you. I tried stuff I swore I would never eat and it was delicious. Tier 2 pairing is worth it and really enhances the experience. I will absolutely be going back to visit. To all the staff there bravo and many more years so successful meal ahead.

This was our 12 course tasting menu with beverage pairing. The food is amazing and visually stunning. If you are searching for a true high-end dining experience you need look no further. The staff is extraordinary, accommodating and exceptionally knowledgeable about each and every dish as well as the cocktails that are served. The bar staff is extraordinary, far beyond any I've seen in Charlotte yet. If you have the opportunity to spend the evening with these guys I suggest it, you will thank me for the recommendation! Riley was our host for the evening, he did an amazing job.

I’m so behind reviewing my birthday dinner at Bardo last month! I came in with my parents for a 7 course dinner and LOVED my experience. My parents aren’t well versed in the food scene so they didn’t understand why it was so expensive but, keep in mind, you’re also paying for the experience that’s outlined on their website! The Good: I mean, the food. It’s incredible. Each course, a tasting menu experience, is only a couple of bites. You don’t get a menu and don’t get to pick what you want but you CAN specify foods to omit when you make reservations. I don’t eat veal so they subbed the veal course for a vegetarian course that was delicious. I wish I could remember what everything was but I do remember the beef tartare, a farro dish with an egg, hearts of pal m with a strawberry mousse…I c
