Very nice restaurant with variety of food options. Menu has vegans vegan options. Indoor and outdoor seating. Service is top notch. Prices are little on the high side. For party of 5, it came to $300 with tip. Great place for bringing business client, but it does get loud.

They have a brunch that's truly a warp-speed culinary adventure! The Goat Cheese Omelette was pure perfection, as light and fluffy as a cloud city. Their Salmon Rillettes with zesty caper berries were a fantastic, flavorful prelude, while the EDM music set a vibrant, energetic atmosphere. With such nice people on staff, this brunch is a must-experience! LLAP PLUR

We had a great experience at Bardot! The service was attentive and friendly, which made for a smooth and enjoyable visit. We started with the Mediterranean couscous salad, which was fresh and flavorful – a solid choice. But the real star of the meal was the duck tacos. They were absolutely phenomenal – so good, in fact, that I ordered them four times! Perfectly seasoned, tender, and bursting with flavor, they’re hands down one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time. I’ll definitely be coming back to Bardot just for those duck tacos. Highly recommend giving them a try if you visit!

Came to this cute spot after a hike. Staff is polite and friendly. We sat in the beautful outdoor patio area. Our waitress Alexandra was lovely and took great care of us. Our food and bottle service were delicious. My group ordered burritos, omelets, salmon salads, and eggs Benedict. We all enjoyed our meals. I absolutely recommend trying Bardot!

Have a fantastic time here with my wife on Saturday. Service was very friendly. Food was very good. We both ordered the fish dishes. Salmon and Cod. We ordered the escargots but it was out. So we opted for the mussels and it was very tasty. Very pleasant and lively atmosphere! Definitely recommended.
