They've become quite popular over the last few years and have done some small remodeling to add additional space. Now for the food, I tried the 3 alarm burger with no alarms as I don't like too much spice. The burger was fresh, great temperature and all around flavorful. I tried the side Greek salad which was much bigger than I expected but it was still good. The fries however are a must have if you've never tried them. The server was super nice and made sure we had everything we needed. The owner also walked the restaurant checking in on the customers which I always love every time I visit. Bards is consistent every time!

Went for their Expresso-Self shake with ESPRESSO LIQUEUR, SPICED RUM, AMARO, WHIPPED CREAM, BITTERS, COCOA POWDER. Very creamy and delicious. I like the meat to shine and passed on the toppings, except some pickles on the side. I was very impressed with the flavor and the texture was perfect. Bun wasn't overpowering and capped it off perfectly. Service was pretty good but they didn't make my shake until I was finished and asked for it a second time. Was worth the wait.

The fish was delicious on its own, but the real magic was the goat cheese pear risotto and hazelnut cream sauce underneath. Together, they took an already great dish to another level. I could happily eat that combination for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The decor is eclectic and fun, with plenty of character, and the parking garage next door makes getting there surprisingly easy. Great food, unique atmosphere, and a dish I'll be looking forward to again.

The food is outstanding across the board--from the steaks to the cheese sticks--but the real star is their bread pudding. It's absolutely worth the trip from anywhere in the tri-state area. Parking is also easy and convenient, with a garage right across the street, as well as their own lot and additional street parking. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great meal and an even better experience.

I was so excited to try a local spot for dinner on this trip, but left disappointed. Our party of 5…read morewas seated immediately with our reservation. The hostess & I believe a manager sat us. Both were friendly & acknowledged the birthday girl in our party. Atmosphere is great. You could comfortably walk in wearing jeans or come dressed up. Neither would be over or under dressed. The menu has juuuust the right amount of options, which is great! Heather was our waitress & while she was kind, her service skills were lacking. Granted we weren't at a Michelin Star Restaurant, but we also weren't at a dive bar. There was an endless amount of awkward reaching through, over & around when refilling drinks. There were a couple of instances where she actually touched our shoulders to nudge us to the side so she could reach through. Totally not okay during service at a restaurant nicer than a dive bar. We ordered the cheese sticks starter which were so yummy! Highly recommend! A couple of us ordered the Cesar side salad & were highly disappointed. The dressing tasted like it was mayonnaise heavy & then watered down by lettuce that wasn't dried after being rinsed. Even adding tons of extra pepper didn't help. The lettuce also tasted like it has been too wet for too long. The lobster mac was ordered in the group & it was tasty but soooo greasy. So, order with caution. We had the Black N Bleu salad in the group & that was good. The Atlantic Salmon was another dinner ordered & the crust seasoning was delicious! Sadly, the salmon was a bit overdone. It does come with a lobster cream sauce, which confused me. It was only so so & I definitely skipped it entirely. The steamed broccoli was done to perfection though. Not soggy & not too crunchy. We also had the 12oz ribeye & that was great! Flavorful, cooked perfectly! I will add though, that the steak knives need an upgrade. I really wanted to love this place, but we won't return on our next trip to Newport/Cincinnati.

They maintained the vintage feel of the former car shop that previously inhabited the space. The wallpaper? Print design?

It was delightful. The hollandaise sauce was light and bright, and I loved that the typical English muffin for hash browns. All in all a great brunch in a friendly and cozy environment.

Not super oily, so something you could eat whether you're trying to be "diet" or fully going ham. Service: The younger staff had a bit of a interesting vibe, but the older guy there was super chill and kind of balanced everything out. Ambiance: Chill little spot on the corner.
