The Garden at Bardea — Restaurant in Wilmington

I frequently visit Bardea food and drink and I’ve had amazing experiences. Due to this I wanted to visit the new Garden that is directly next to it. I visited during their Thursday party at around 7ish. I wish I could say my experience was good. The place was pretty busy, so we sat along the wall until we could find an actual table to sit at. Taylor was supposed to took my initial order but never returned to get the rest of my parties order. (There were three of us total who visited). I ordered an expresso martini and the spicy tuna roll. The spicy tuna came out rather quickly which was great, however the rice was hard and the roll overall wasn’t very flavorful. We sat and waited for Taylor to return but she never did. In addition she never brought me my drink. Keep in mind I already ordered and paid(which included a 25% tip). After about 40 minutes a table opened up that we moved over to (everything is open seating). We tried to get Taylor’s attention because I was looking for my drink and my friends wanted to place an order. She never back over and instead Jack stopped by (another server) to ask us if we needed help. We explained to him our experience and he went back to go and discuss with Taylor to see if she would come back and take out order. We were told that she no longer wanted to serve us as she only took our shot order. Keep in mind we never ordered shots. The only order that was placed with her was my order and she never returned. It seemed as if she didn’t want to service us due to the complexion of our skin. Or she may have gotten us confused with another party. However, this was completely unacceptable. Bardea used to be a place where you get the most amazing service and food, but it doesn’t seem like garden provides the same experience. Eventually Jack ended up servicing us for the rest of the night and he did a phenomenal job. But Taylor gave us such a bad taste. The manager never stopped over to us either once everything was explained. I was only offered a complimentary drink due to my previous drink taking over an hour to get to me. My friends who waited to be serviced were never accommodated for the bad service they received. This occurred on July 27, 2023. Not sure if I...

I recently attended the 'We Found Love' event hosted by @Sondaeblu on Insta: during First Thursdays at The Garden and had an incredible time! The venue reached capacity by 8pm, so arriving early is a must. From delectable food to delightful drinks and sensational music, it was a night to remember. I discovered talented DJs like @macwondo and @b.smithsonian14, whose sets kept the energy high throughout the evening.

Mark your calendars for the next First Thursday on 6.6.24 – you won't want to miss it! Follow The Garden on Instagram for updates: @TheGardenWilm & @TodayWeFoundLove on...
