Excellence all around, every dish truly impressed. The black rice scallops were a standout, and the chicken was perfectly juicy. We also loved the beets with garlic sauce, the potatoes, and the citrusy carrots, which added a refreshing balance to the meal. For dessert, the pavlova was good, though more tart and lemon-forward than we expected. The Punetazo cocktail was unique and worth trying. Service from Francesca was fantastic, attentive throughout the meal. Free on-site parking is available, and reservations are definitely recommended. read more

I rounded down to three stars, sorry Barda! I wanted to love it but it was just okay. I thoroughly read reviews and ordered dishes that seemed popular and good however, I wouldn't say anything tasted outstanding. All our dishes were fine though, I guess that is why I feel a bit disappointed. Free street parking is great! And when we arrived at 5pm (opening time), all spots were basically full so I took that as a great sign. We entered the restaurant (fun vibe, red lights, music is loud) and were welcomed in right away. I was excited! So the cocktails are great but I would say nothing like overly unique but loved the Margarita (Earth, Wind & Fire), the El Cuco was pretty good, very ginger forward which I like but not spicy at all. The Old Fashioned (why no single ice cube??) was good also. Next, the appetizers: Beets (presentation is excellent) however this dish just tastes like beets (simple and fine), the sauce adds a nice touch but other than that, it was just like okay, nothing special (I wouldn't order again for that price). Next was the Carne y Hueso which we liked. The sourdough bread is not too sourdough-y (good for me since I don't actually like sourdough) and we asked about the best way to eat it which is to spread some bone marrow first then top with the steak tartare. I would say this had a very rich and meaty taste (I haven't had marrow much) which is expected. We liked it. Main: Black Rice with scallops (several small scallops hidden underneath). The black rice was chewy and tasted pretty good/flavorful. My hubby said the dish smelled a little like truffles?? but didn't taste that way (good because he doesn't care for truffles), I didn't think it did (I love truffles). The scallops had a very mild flavor. I would say if you love scallops you may be disappointed but this was fine for me since I don't. Bife- the steak was cooked to our desired level (medium rare) but seemed to lack flavor. I liked the chimibutter and we enjoyed the grilled onion that came with this dish. Overall, I would say the Bife was fine. The kitchen is open so you can see the flames of the fire for the grilling area & the fire pit outside seemed great (on a less cold/snowy night). Note, I think there are 2 separate single bathrooms (one in separate corners of the restaurant) but I didn't realize that until after I waited in a line to use it. Well, I like trying new places, some are hits and some aren't. Thank you for a nice evening Barda. read more

Nondescript restaurant with plenty of free parking options. Outdoor space to warm up by a fire pit and walking distance to other dining options; Puma and Vesper. Coatcheck inside, lots of bar seating and open air kitchen. Especial drink was fantastic - rum, rosemary, coconut water - strong and sweet. Bread service is available- served with butter (sorry vegans). The beet dish was beautiful and tasty; I was looking forward to this dish and it didn't disappoint. The leeks were good as well - topped with nuts (hazelnuts?). I did not enjoy the scallop dish. It had 5 teeny tiny scallops with bland black rice and dollops of strange tasting white cream; I was disappointed with this dish. My friend ordered the zucchini dish - it was too mint forward for my liking. Overall, nice place. Expensive, but unique dishes and good service. read more

One of the BEST dinners I've had in the city. The spot is so swanky and a unique vibe the minute you walk in .

Barda is just all that and more! What I really admire about the restaurant is the pride that the owner takes in it. You'll always see him there and he is very hands-on. The best steak in town I don't care what anyone says, and fantastic sides to go along with it. Service is great and they really take their time explaining everything to you. It's small so you'll definitely need a reservation or you can sit at the bar. One of my favorite places to dine! read more

BARDA would be my first stop in Detroit hands down. All of the food is on point, presentation is top notch and the service is excellent. I love how the decor is not stuffy and it feels spacious. When I first came here, we shared a bunch of plates so I got to try a good variety of their dishes. All of which were perfectly executed. read more

I recently dined at Barda after hearing many great recommendations. The service stood out right away -- our waiter was very nice, attentive, and always made sure our waters were filled. The interior of the restaurant reminded me a lot of Puma - the red lights and it was very sleek and unique. There was only one restroom which people ended up waiting on line for. We started with the burnt zucchini ceviche appetizer, which was very fresh and flavorful -- definitely a highlight. For mains, I ordered the filet, but unfortunately it came out dry and not medium rare as I requested. The carrots I ordered on the side had good flavor but were undercooked and too hard for my taste. My table also ordered the potatoes, which I didn't try myself, but everyone else raved about how delicious they were. My boyfriend had the NY strip, and that ended up being my favorite dish of the night -- especially paired with the charred onion, which was fantastic. Overall, while some parts of the meal were enjoyable, I felt the experience didn't live up to the hype, especially considering the price point. For me, it was a bit underwhelming given how highly it's been recommended. read more

I'll start by saying I absolutely love the design and vibe of BARDA. The colorful but low lights sets a mood that I love. The bartender was amazing with drink recommendations and knowledge of the menu. The best way I can explain the food experience is not bad, but different. Small plates with options you will truly find nowhere else lol. I tried the Glazed Beets, Roasted Cauliflower (all decent) and the Charred Caesar which was actually really flavorful and good. Great place for a date night and drink. read more

Dined here again recently and had a wonderful time with bar seating! The bartenders were incredibly friendly and made it a great time. We started with the scallop ceviche which was quite sour but we enjoyed, and the beautifully presented beets with a cream sauce. For mains, we split the scallop and black rice, short rib, and chicken chimchurri. I don't usually enjoy bone in chicken but this is a favorite - tender and incredibly flavorful! Of course it isn't a trip to BARDA without our favorite Burnt Alaska - perfect every time! read more

Barda was definitely a fun vibe for a night out! I tried the beef tartar with bone marrow, the blackened rice with scallops, and the beef short rib. The beef dishes were exceptional, and the scallops were perfectly cooked and tender. It is on the pricey side and the menu is limited and they rotate their dishes frequently. The only thing I probably wouldn't get again was the burnt Alaska dessert. The service was fast and attentive and we were able to get our food quite fast, despite the restaurant being packed. read more

I am not cool enough to be in here. The vibes were too immaculate, the people too chic, a lot of SEE glasses, mustaches, and open shirts. Ok I'm being facetious. But damn this place is cool AF. Blue tiles, red lights, and open flames. It's a living, breathing, sexy organism. But wait there's more. I came for the happy hour burger and it was for sure happy. But first let me tell you about the most tastiest little Caesar salad you ever put in your mouth. Fire-kissed gem lettuce. A complex dressing with a couple anchovies swimming in it. And cheese, cheese, and more cheese with crispy breadcrumbs splayed on top of it all. Damn thing stole the show! The Barda burger? Unctuously meaty and cheesy, juicy, and beefy. It dissolves in your mouth just as easy as ya like. And now I'm drooling. read more

I don't know if it's an exaggeration to say that Barda's Bife dish is the best steak I've ever had. The first time my husband and I dined here we split an order alongside several other plates and we were so floored by how good the steak was. Right then and there we both declared that even though we didn't mind sharing this time, in the future we would definitely be each getting our own plate. And so we have the next few times we've visited. Other standouts for us include their beets (which are as beautifully plated as they are delicious), the Peruvian potatoes and the scallop ceviche. For dessert, we split the baked Alaska and declared that to also be one we would prefer not to share upon a future visit. No matter how full we are we still each get our own! The space is very cool, with a huge bar in the center and a great view of the open air kitchen and all the flames they cook with. Staff has always been great as well. Reservations are recommended but I have been lucky enough to get a spot at the bar on the whim right as they were opening. But if you can, save yourself the stress and plan ahead. Once you get a whiff of that delicious woodfire kitchen you're not going to want to stand around and wait for a table! read more

BARDA really said: trust your instincts... and your fork. This restaurant is dimly lit with red lighting. I could barely see my food and company, and this uncomfortable red lighting unfortunately extended into the bathroom. Like why? Dinner felt less like a meal and more like developing film in a photo lab. The restaurant leaned hard into red lighting, which meant everything on the plate looked either dramatic or mildly concerning, with no in-between. I really wanted to love BARDA but was greatly disappointed by my experience here. We ordered the steak, potatoes, fennel, and almendrado (vanilla ice cream-based dessert). The steak was good but underwhelming. There wasn't really anything special about it. You can get the same quality elsewhere at a lower price point. The charred onion made for an interesting presentation, but only 25% of the interior was actually edible. It just tasted like unseasoned onion mush. The fennel was unbalanced and had way too much acidity - I started to develop heartburn from this during our meal. Our server, Amy, was cold and rude. We did not feel welcomed by Amy - most if not all her responses were short and cold anytime we asked questions about the menu. She never asked about my food allergies. When I did bring them up, she responded with 'kay' and immediately sauntered off. No follow-up. I did have allergies to foods listed on the menu, but we did not order dishes with them. I usually carry my epi pen and Zyrtec with me because you just never know. When the food came (dropped off by another kitchen staff member), I started to take pictures of the food for my review. While I was in the middle of taking photos (which was obvious as my phone was literally on top of the food), Amy grabbed our personal spoons from their napkins and jostled them around in our dishes. I could no longer take photos of my food and their plating as presented. Just really strange and rude behavior. The only redeeming part of this dining experience was the vanilla ice cream dessert...but you really can't screw up vanilla ice cream. One star for that I guess. The parking space was also poorly organized and difficult to find a space even with the directions given on their website. We will not be back to BARDA in the future. read more

Ugh. So disappointing. Had read all the reviews and were so looking forward to date night at Barda. The service is great and everyone from hostesses when you enter to bartenders and servers are friendly and fun. The restaurant itself feels sort of stripped down, bare bones/industrial which is fine and clearly intentional. I was looking more forward to the food than the vibe. Unfortunately it really fell far short. Best thing was the barrata and asparagus followed by charred Caesar. Both were maybe a 7 out of 10. Next were the potatoes and I'd give them a 5 maybe. Really kind of unremarkable. Worst though was the main dish, Bife which is the steak I was really craving. It arrived sort of lukewarm which suggested it maybe sat there for a while before it was served. It was indeed medium rare which is how we ordered it but EVERY SINGLE BITE required endless chewing. Really a terrible price of flavorless, tough meat. A charred onion came with it which helped add some flavor to the bites but I was surprised the outer skin was left on the onion that made you feel like you were eating paper if you weren't careful to remove it before adding it to the steak. Last thing I'll say is the rum cocktail was very tasty although the giant ice cube made it such that there were really only 6 or 7 sips until the drink was gone. $240 later (including a few glasses of wine) and we felt really let down. Turns out the stripped down industrial bare bones vibe is transferred to the food too. Too many great choices in Detroit to try Barda again. Bummer.

Went to BARDA to use my Chase Sapphire credit which made the bill a little easier to swallow. Of course it's pricey but the food was really good and came out way quicker than I ever would have imagined on a Saturday night with a packed house. They even had a fire pit outside that was well feed to hang out at after! We'll be back to try the chicken and strip steak that looked very good as well. read more

Super cool new-ish place that I finally got the chance to try for dinner. I had the costilla as my main dish and it was absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned. The Burnt Alaska dessert was yummy and the presentation super fun. I also liked their short but thoughtful wine list. A couple glasses of traditional method sparkling rosé were a nice pairing for my meal. Service was quick and helpful. If there's one complaint, it's that it is loud in there, so having a conversation can sometimes be a bit tough. But it wasn't bad enough that I'd take away a star. Just something to point out if you're looking for something a bit less chaotic. read more

This is primarily a bar set up that also serves light dinner so it's not ideal if you're looking for a big meal to satisfy some serious hunger. They offer an Argentinian inspired gastronomic selection that is very tasty and unique. The lighting is all red and the music is fairly loud and consists mainly of repetitive techno loops, not what you might expect at an Argentinian restaurant that is authentic. With that said, the dishes are most definitely unique and combine flavors that you may not have ever experienced. But it's definitely a good experience if you are adventurous. It's pricey but worth it as the spices and ingredients are so flavorful and unique. read more

We finally got it together, made the reservation and tried Barda for a dinner date with friends. The location -known as Core City Detroit- is charming. The exterior is unassuming but upon entering, we were seduced by the appetizing smell of delicious foods cooking and a clean, modern aesthetic. While there is a lovely patio, we were pleased to sit indoors at a window table. Our server was smart, stylish, patient and willing to answer our questions about food and drink. We enjoyed the beet, chorizo, and salad appetizers (all pictured) followed by the bife, trout, potatoes and carrots. All items were meticulously plated and delectable. My trout was moist and flavorful without being overly seasoned or cooked to dryness. Neglected to take pics of the mains. The carrots -served atop some sort of lentil hummus- were magical. Off road parking across the street in an artistically formed sumac jungle. A shaved fennel salad graced the chorizo and trout. Did not have space for desert but the unbaked Alaska looked delicious. Removed a star due to price. $48 for a la carte trout is steep. read more

What a great restaurant with a beautiful patio for the Summer! We ate inside, but it looked lovely out there. Service was excellent, food was delicious, ambiance was chic and lively. We had dinner on a Saturday evening, and I love being able to see and taste the flames from the kitchen. The dishes I loved most were the zucchini ceviche and the Michigan trout. For a vegetarian dish to stand out so much on an Argentinian, meat-centric menu, it has to be great, and it really was. Tangy and herby with basil, olive oil and lemon. The toasted hazelnuts really sent it over the top. Delicious. and the trout was just so juicy and perfectly cooked with crispy skin and a crisp, fresh fennel salad over top; so good. We also enjoyed the octopus appetizer, the strip steak, and the potatoes. Everything was perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. Though I drank sparkling water, my friends enjoyed their cocktails and wine; they even made something special for one of my friends, and she loved it. The steaks are especially spendy, but it's nice to go with a group and share - the bill didn't seem too extravagant at the end of the night, and we were all satisfied. The 4 of us ordered 2 apps, 2 entrees and a side. All in all, a lovely experience I wish to repeat. read more

Not worth for how expensive the food is and how basic it tastes. The New York strip we ordered came with seven piece pieces and it came out lukewarm. The bone marrow and tuna tartare were good, but not outstanding. I would say the best part of our meal was the baked Alaska, but other than that, nothing stood out to me, especially for the price we paid read more

Super good food. Nice atmosphere, fun vibe. Food was great. We had the charred caesar, black rice, roasted cauliflower, charred carrots and michigan trout. All were good.

I visited Barda with a group of gentleman on a Friday night after hearing about this spot so many times from so many people. We were sat on an exterior table near the kitchen. Kim attended to us and she was awesome! She was swift with getting us drinks right away, and was extremely knowledgeable on the menu! The atmosphere at the restaurant was vibey with the combination of the lighting and mellow electronic music. Very much admired! We ordered a bunch of items from the menu that the restaurant timed out for us. All of it was fantastic! Number one item loved at the table was the short rib (pictured). The El Cuco cocktail was also a big hit at our table! Huge shoutout to Kim! She elevated our experience at Barda! Can't wait to come back and sit at the bar! read more

A+ for food, drinks, atmosphere, and service. We walked into this super cute restaurant and sat at the bar. The seats looked low but were surprisingly comfortable, even for my cousin who is 6'4. I ordered the Paloma with Mezcal, which was recommended by the bartender. Our group shared the beets, paella, and sausage. The paella was outstanding, the beets were a welcome surprise with a creative presentation using beet juice and almond garlic sauce, and while I do not eat meat, the others said the sausage was excellent. We ended up staying much longer than planned because the atmosphere was so comfortable. This place is highly recommended and truly one of Detroit's best hidden gems. read more

Not going to lie, I was a little intimidated going to BARDA given the mixed reviews, but it was a STELLAR meal and I highly recommend for a food adventure that's going to blast your tastebuds into DELICIOUS space (ha). When I pulled up, I realized I had been to this place before as it's across from the old Ochre Bakery (RIP). So, there's some private parking but otherwise, plan to park on the street as it fills up quickly. Since it was nice out, we decided to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. We trusted our server for food AND wine recs & seriously - everything was so delicious. I also liked the wine so much that I went out to find GARAGE WINE CO.'s Cinsault after this dinner! This is rare, but there is nothing I would NOT order again because it was all delightful, so I'm listing dishes in consumption order: *RESCOLDO BEETS Ajoblanco, Raspberry Dust -- this is the dish that LOOKS like a dessert because it's shaped like a rose but it's a savory boi! The ajoblanco sauce is the perfect brightness to the earthy beets. *CARNE Y HUESO Steak Tartare, Horseradish, Bone Marrow, Sourdough Toast -- okay why don't more places do a steak tartare and marrow combo? This SLAPPED. Maybe the best tartare I've had to date in Michigan.... We're huge horseradish fans so we loved that you could actually see & taste it in the tartare but if you're not....beware! *BLACK RICE Peruvian Scallops, Moqueca Sauce, Preserved Lemon - SO SO flavorful with just perfect bites of acidity, savoriness, subtle sweetness -- it's one of those perfect bites, perfect dishes... *BIFE Strip Loin Steak, Chimibutter, Rescoldo Onion - perfectly cooked steak and really well seasoned. No notes. *PERUVIAN POTATOES Huancaína Sauce, Cured Egg Yolk, Olives - this is a side dish. I couldn't resist because I love a good potato and this was a good potato! *BURNT ALASKA Flourless Cake, Chocolate Semifreddo, Burnt Meringue, Fire - in the theme of BARDA being all about fire, I kinda had to. This tasted like a s'more but in a burnt Alaska form. Delish. read more

My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner. We made reservations in advance, which I highly recommend. It's a small space and it's packed! The people behind us didn't have reservations and waited about 1 hour to get a spot. I mentioned to the host that it was our anniversary and there was a congratulations card! So sweet! We did ask about parking since we were on the street. There is a lot behind the restaurant. I recommend using that lot since you can get a ticket on the Main Street. We were seat at a table near the kitchen. My husband could see the kitchen, which was really enjoy for him. The process of cooking is something we love. It's truly an art. After being seated, our waitress greeted us and we ordered a few cocktails. We ordered a lot of food since we were newbies. We look trying everything. The beets - beautifully plated, but tastes like beets. Bone marrow - I love bone marrow. This was a combo of beef tartare, bone marrow, and toast. We were able to take the bone home for our dog - these type of bones don't splinter and are okay for pups. Burrata - made with butternut squash, burrata, and seeds. This was one of our favorite dishes. Chicken - made me a mustard sauce. So juicy. Happy tastebuds Trout - made with crispy skin, fresh dill, cucumbers, and more. Did I want dessert, absolutely. The baked Alaska is on fire! Since we had a chocolate pistachio cake waiting for us at home, we had to pass. When dinner was finished and didn't order a dessert, there was a little pressure to wrap up and leave. Overall, dinner was great! Leaving allows us to check out another local bar. read more

Gorgeous, cozy, sexy ambiance. Food-Presentation is pristine. Flavor combinations are interesting yet satisfying. Drinks-ohhhh yum. Service-this place sets the bar for hosting their guests. My husband and I started with the Burrata appetizer. It was so refreshing! I loved the pistachios in it . We shared the Porterhouse. It was succulent, perfectly seasoned. We ordered the potatoes on the side. A savory, creamy, tangy sauce was on top. We ended our meal with the broken Pavlova-thoroughly enjoyed it. For drinks he had the IPA, and I had the margarita with ginger. Both were very tasty. To manage their incoming reservations, they offered us and the couple we were dining with a seat at their sister restaurant/bar Puma across the street along with four drink passes. I'm incredibly impressed with the tasteful way in which they handled this overflow. We walked across the street into the bar with no wait and four seats in front of the DJ all set with menus waiting for us. It was incredibly hospitable. Worth every penny for this experience. read more

We ordered pretty much the whole menu to share and it was a fantastic experience. The appetizers are the stars here. The best cauliflower I have ever tried. Top rated beet with a tangy garlic yogurt sauce, the flavor mesh is explosive. Burrata was tasty. The bone marrow tartar dish is a must. Potatoes are the bomb. I was disappointed with the porterhouse steak that was on special. We ordered medium and it came almost rare. They were very nice about putting it back on the grill. The cut was very fatty. I like the regular beef that is on the menu much more. Not impressed with any of the desserts and disappointed that they don't serve coffee or tea. Service at every point is top notch. We felt welcome and always taken care of. The vibe is hipster and the lighting makes it hard to take a good picture. read more

Came here for a night out with the girls. We ordered most of the appetizers and they were all fantastic. The beets and beef tartare were highlights. The cauliflower is amazing! The steak was good but they served it almost rare when we requested medium and it was a bit chewy. I was told the regular steak is much better but we opted for the porterhouse special that night. I would stick with apps in the future. Drinks were delicious and service was great. The place has a great vibe but it's super dark inside. I recommend making a reservation because it was packed on a Saturday night. The parking situation can be tough since they did not have valet. Would come back here in the future for sure! read more

Very cool spot with a great vibe. I wish I could say the same for the food, as is was just average at best. The menu is quite small, which in my experience either means the food will be excellent, or it will leave something to be desired. In this instance, it was the latter. Service was very good, and our server was very attentive. If the food were up the same standard as the service, I would recommend this spot. read more

4.7 stars overall. We had reservations for 7:15 on a Saturday night. We arrived about 20 mins before our time and were able to get seated immediately. We got lucky and got a parking spot behind the restaurant (very limited with only a few spots, maybe about 8). Appetizers/small plates - Glazed beets (beautifully presented but our least favorite), Peruvian potatoes, roasted cauliflower. The potatoes and cauliflower pair well with the main entrees which are entirely protein. Mains - Lamb Loin and Trout. The lamb was delectable and melted in your mouth. Ever so slight gamey taste initially that dissipates quickly. The Trout was just okay, not the best fish I've had. Dessert - Broken Pavlova. AMAZING! It's sweet, tangy, with a hint of savory from the salmon roe. Very unique. We were stuffed and almost didn't get desert but this was a great choice since it wasn't too heavy. Perfect way to end the meal. The red and dim lighting provides a cool ambience. Music is somewhat loud but you can still hear each other without having to yell. read more

We hit up one of our neighborhood favorites for a late dinner on industry night. As usual, the drinks and food were amazing and the service at Barda is always professional, informational, and kind. The Peruvian rice was AMAZING. We took a chance on the dessert - salmon roe?!? But I'm always for a tart and or savory dessert so we gave it a shot. I did not like the roe :( I think it was meant to be a salty accent, but it actually tasted fishy. I passed the roe to my spouse, who did like it! Thankfully, picking it off wasn't hard, and the rest of the dessert was beautifully composed. read more

This food was soo good and flavorful. I had the lamb loin which was cooked medium and served within a cilantro/peach salad. I also had the asparagus burrata which was my favorite dish and the Peruvian potatoes. I literally have no complaints. My mouth is watering re-thinking about the food now. My friend had the short ribs (beef). I wasn't too impressed by the short ribs, but everything else was amazing. I also love the ambience of the restaurant (inside and outside). It was raining when we went, so I did not get to enjoy the outside set up. However, the decorum is really dope. The bartenders were also on point. They suggested a lot of different drinks that we tried from the menu. I plan to go back next week! read more
