Ardeo's next door wine bar is known for small plates and charcuterie.
November 2004
Savvy restaurateur Ashok Bajaj knew that patrons of the Uptown Theater, across from his restaurant Ardeo, would need quicker and more flexible service than that provided by a traditional three-course format. So next door to Ardeo he opened Bardeo, specializing in small plates priced from $7 to $13. It was an immediate success.
Patrons can order one or two small plates--grilled calamari salad, a charcuterie platter, a small grilled filet of beef--accompany it with a glass of wine, and be off to a movie or other event. In the years since it opened, Bardeo has evolved from an idea for quick eating into a destination of its own, a good match not only for the movie crowd but for a neighborhood interested in eating lightly and well.
