Vegans and vegetarians will find thoughtful options such as the Teriyaki Tofu, which pairs marinated tofu with seared bok choy, roasted baby carrots, and a rich Thai-style peanut sauce, delivering a satisfying, umami-rich experience enhanced by toasted peanuts and crispy shallots.

The cocktail program at Bardo is equally mesmerizing, featuring signature stirred drinks like the Back Porch Old Grand Dad Bourbon infused with black tea and mint syrup or the smoky complexity of In My Room, which combines Ilegal Reposado Mezcal with heirloom pineapple amaro and tiki bitters. Each cocktail is an artful balance of classic technique and bold innovation, providing the perfect complement to your meal or a standout evening on its own.
