What a wonderful experience
My wife and I pop in one afternoon as we were looking for a place to dine and happened upon his place
As soon as we entered the place I felt comfortable, the staff was friendly, knowledgeable and help me order exactly what I was after and didn’t disappoint. My steak was cooked to perfection. Everything from the appetizer to the desert was wonderful
Thanks so much for the evening
We highly recommend this steakhouse

Disappointed is a good word to describe our experience. We had seen good reviews and the website looked not that bad. When we arrived at the Fairmont and saw teh Bardi sign across the street, small and faded we began to thnk maybe we should have looked further into our choice. Our sixth sense was not off.
The waiters were worn out as were their clothes, just not much life left in these gentlement and the faded black outfits spoke of a long career that should be thinking of retirement. They were pleasant enough, just tired as their conversation and leaning against the bar could attest to.
The place needed paint touchups, there was an actual lamp on table so I had to watch cord so as not to knock it off. The place is in desperate need of some TLC. We don't mind traditional decor and love wood, it was just not taken care of. Ambiance does effect the overall experience. We were also stuck at a table in a corner with a cabinet by the front doors. This place needs a polish and some life breathed back into it.
Onto the food, no presentation doesn't begin to describe how our meal was presented. All you get is a russet potato and your steak. Well the steak is cooked to perfection, your plate looks terrible with a big hunk of meat and a huge potato. A gentleman comes by with a dolp of sour cream and some chives. The waiters were talkig by the front doors about customer service issues and complaints. Not something we needed to hear. It was obvious there were problems, this just solidified it.
There also oddly was stuff piled everywhere.
Very overpriced for what you get. Not a place to bother to visit. It may be time to retire.

Dinner was great as always. Steak, lobster, appetizers and service was very good. Unfortunately, we encountered guests at the table beside ours who continual dropped the F-Bomb. With our family including our 12 year old grand daughter, it was awful. These four were federal civil servants with 11 years to go until retirement. They talked up Minister Freeland, interspersed with inappropriate language. I wonder if they would have been OK with us talking in front of their families in the same way. The wait staff did nothing to tone them down and we debated as to whether or not we should call them on it. It over shadowed what should have her a great dinner and get together. We wondered what f it was their cost or the Canadian taxpayer that financed their lie-life behaviour and meal.

Food quality is very good. Steaks are cooked to perfection and to one's preference. Sides are plentiful. French onion soup is highly recommended as is the starter cheese & garlic toast. The artisanal bread they use certainly tasted authentic too. I had the green peppercorn steak which was tender and delicious. Our last meal together with my teenage kids before a 3 weeks lockdown that has closed all inside dining. Well worth it.

This was a lovely 25’th anniversary dinner for my husband and me. The steak was perfectly cooked, service impeccable for both attentiveness and promptness. I do wish they had a drink menu- apparently they do not. We had a late seating, (8:15 pm) so between that and covid distancing for tables, the atmosphere was rather dull. However we had a quiet and romantic dinner, which was the goal. They brought us a complementary dessert for our anniversary which was a nice touch. We live in Ottawa, but will visit when we travel to Toronto again.
