    Small place with good service. Too bad they don't have food. Decent prices.

    What to say about Bardo! The vibe and decor are both immaculate. Truly put together by someone with…read morea vision and they executed it splendidly. The food is pound for pound some of the best in Oakland. My wife and I dined here last night and did the Dinner Party Menu and it did not disappoint. Everything we had was excellent but the highlights for me were the incredible scallop crudo, the fried artichokes with fava bean and pea hummus, and the chicken and grits. The other major highlight was the staff and service. Everyone was so friendly and stellar at their jobs. Finished plates were taken quickly, drink orders were filled and served within a few minutes, and new plates of food were swiftly fulfilled between courses all on a fully-packed Saturday night. I would 100% recommend Bardo to anyone visiting Oakland, or locals looking for a nice night out. Since their menu is seasonal, I can't wait to return to sample their new offerings.

Instead of getting garlic fries I was served overcooked French fries And my Bardo hamburger bun was very soggy on the bottom. I had to remove the meat and leave the soggy bun on the plate. I mentioned to the waitress that I would not be ordering the burger again and mentioned that I thought I was getting garlic aioli fries. She informed me that they do not serve garlic fries.

    After wandering Grand Lake Farmer's Market, my brother, cousin and I wandered over to Melo Melo…read morethinking we were going to grab a coffee before heading home. Right as we walked in, we were overcome with the gorgeous planted wall and the calming energy of this bar. None of us have ever been to a kava bar before but figured we should give it a try! There were people sitting at the bar, reading a book, and some others chatting quietly as mellow music set the backdrop. We ordered: Melo Ginger, Melo Colada and I had the Melo Dream. The server was very kind and shared with us what kava was (as I'm sure he needs to do all the time). This was the most perfect coincidence that we wandered here. Capping off our lunch with kava was the way to go. Our drinks were served in a hollowed out coconut shell that came with it's own stand (also made from the coconut shell). Everything in this place felt very grounding and calm. As for the drinks, there was a general consensus that the ginger might have been a bit too spicy for our taste, which made it hard to drink quickly. The Melo Colada and Melo Dream were rich and creamy with a hint of fruit. This was such a wonderful coincidence that we stumbled into this bar. We'll definitely be back!

    I had a Melo time over at Melo Melo Kava bar! it was my first time having Kava and I really enjoyed…read morethe experience. Arrived on a Saturday on a whim and was greeted by the kava-tender who went over Kava, its origins, and how it may make you feel. She started me off with a 1/2 portion of kava, went over the ritual and did the shot along with me. Flavor wise, I imagine its an acquired taste.Very earthy since Kava itself is a root, but I definitely enjoyed the feeling of calm that I got afterwards. We also snagged one of the drinking chocolates which were super yummy! Great experience over at Melo Melo Kava Bar! Loved the customer service!

    Favorite place to grab a drink on the island!…read more I love grabbing a spot by the windows to people watch while sipping on a well made cocktail. If you want to grab a bite, my go-to is the sliders with tater tots.

    I stopped by here for happy hour and had a really pleasant experience! They offer $10 classic…read morecocktails and discounts on appetizers like chips and salsa and guac, French fries, nachos, and other bites. I ordered a classic martini with a twist, it wasn't my favorite drink ever but it was made well, just not my usual. After that I ordered a classic margarita which was super good and came with a black salt rim and dehydrated lime. The margarita was super tasty and both drinks were made right away! For food, I ordered the chips and salsa and guac. The guac was very good, it tasted fresh and was a good size portion. The salsa was really good, it was chipotle tasting but had a lime tanginess to it that was unique and refreshing. They were generous with the portion of chips and the chips were thick and crispy and seasoned well with just a little bit of salt. I also ordered the impossible taquitos which came with guac, sour cream, and salsa on top. The presentation was beautiful and the food came out fast but the taste was a bit weird, it wasn't bad but it just tasted like burger meat in a taquito. I really appreciate that they offered a meat alternative but wish it tasted better, like maybe use potatoes instead of fake meat, or use fake chorizo over a burger seasoning. It would also be nice if there was a vegan version not just a vegetarian version. Despite my critiques of the food, I have no critiques for the service and atmosphere! My server was phenomenal and attentive and checked in often! I had a great experience and look forward to coming back but would definitely be more eager to come back if they updated with more vegan options!
