I'd like start my review by pointing out that Ardo, charges you for all the people that don't show up for you reservation which can sometimes happen with larger groups. My feeling is if you're going to do that, you better set the bar high for service. At Ardo, this is not the case. Our reservation for this awful night was made 3 weeks in advance.
When we arrived, the table we reserved had people who were just served their mains. They suggested we find some other place in the neighbourhood to have drinks until they were ready. That's a waste of our time and for a restaurant that charges people for cancellation, pretty low.
They finally seated us at the chefs table which only had 5 stools for 6 people and was designed bar style making it difficult for us to have a conversation as a group. Their only solution for the negative experience was a glass of proseco.
The server was rude and the staff seemed to be pretty indifferent about it all.
Avoid this place.
