The Scene: – Bardo draws an eclectic, artsy clientele that could just as easily arrive post-theater or pre-club. Large, uninterrupted swaths of vivid color, sharp angles and the use of natural materials like wood and stone create a hard, Zen-minimalist feel that's softened by subtle lighting and myriad tiny votive candles. Patrons have plenty of room to mingle in front of the well-stocked bar (tucked neatly into a corner of the room) which leads almost without transition into an open kitchen and small-scale dining area. – – The Food – Broken into…

Creative menu, cosmopolitan atmosphere
by taylorsl at Citysearch
Very creative and interesting menu of small plates and tapas--all extremely good. Service was excellent. Low-lit, cosmopolitan atmosphere.......trendy people....not stuffy though. Very busy and bustling in the Ghent district of Norfolk. Parking is easy behind the restaurant and is free. I would have given this a higher rating if it weren't so smokey in there (smoke-free would be ideal).
- Pros: Creative and flavorful food, good service, cosmopolitan atmosphere, free parking
- Cons: Very smoke-filled restaurant

An Amazing Experierence
by chinnockr at Citysearch
I took my girlfriend to bardo after a play had let out at the Generic Theater. The service there is warm and friendly, and the food is even better. We both had eggdrop soup and brie stuffed pork tenderloin. All I can say was: amazing! The wine list was awesome, so many good selections. I would highly recommend this place.
- Pros: Great Service, Great Wine List, well priced
- Cons: paper table cloths, no reservations, crowded bar

The Ultimate Spot
by christophers_honeydew at Citysearch
An evening at Bardo's is simply like no other. This place is simply marvelous! I was visiting Norfolk and was anxious to see what my friend was raving about. Upon entrance I instantly fell love. Everything from the striking red walls , the candlelit eating area , as well as the excellent service was nothing short of perfect. The food was delicious and drinks were delicious (we really enjoyed the Long Beach) and the romantic decorum like no other I have ever experienced. I cannot wait to return to Norfolk.
- Pros: Great service
