    Bardo represents a new twist on the traditional Pizzeria, representing an ethereal dining

    experience. Bardo roughly refers to the night sky which is the backdrop or the space wherethe stars are hung. Bardo, in its Western translation, refers to a transitional state, whichperfectly describes our exciting intersection between high quality food, and a well designed,comfortable environment. The restaurant will feature nine composed pies, combining our fun,refined, and high quality ingredients.. The menu also allows are loyal customers to create theirown masterpieces by taking advantage of our artisanal cheeses, house made sauces, varieties ofmeats, and other vegetables and ingredients to swoon over . All pizzas will be 12-13 Napolistyle. In addition, the restaurant will offer a full brunch menu on weekends for our early risers.Patrons may also relax on our front patio with smaller plate items while enjoying a glass of oneof our 40 wines or 10 beers on tap. Bardo aims to bring this "Top Tier high quality Napoli stylepizza joint to the Old downtown neighborhood of Costa Mesa; pairing the finest in locally

    sourced ingredients with an environmentally conscious Green adaptive re-use of a 60-year-oldretail building.

    FOOD

    Bardo is a pizzeria, plain and simple. Our menu will be centered around 12-13 free form thincrust pies made to order in our open Kitchen. This Pizza Work Bench and 800 degree ovenwill take center stage and will be the focal point for our bar and restaurant patrons. Our hightemp ovens will produce the best crust possible, randomly charring the crust and imparting hintsof that flavor into the pizza. Our crust will showcase a delicate balance between crisp and

    slightly chewy, creating a perfect platform for our fresh, organic and artisan toppings. We willoffer 9 composed pies, while also allowing the customer to formulate their own. Bardo will alsofeature 7 Salads that will rotate seasonally. As another option for our guests, a few small platedishes will be available to nibble on with a cocktail, or enhance this family style diningexperience. The real focus of this restaurant is the Pizza. Our Family Style way of servingreally allows for groups to help themselves to numerous options, sharing not only food, butstories and experiences. Our mantra at Bardo is to leave out that extra ingredient versusputting it in. We want people to taste the purity of every ingredient in every dish. Bardo willhave a strong commitment to creating an environmentally responsible business. Bardo will alsohave a commitment to sustainable agriculture, defined by our purchasing of locally grown foods,and serving them during the seasons in which they are grown. Our vegetables, fruits, dairy and

    fish will largely be sourced from local and organic producers; all the meats at Bardo will befrom sustainable sources, containing no hormones or antibiotics.

    DRINKS

    Bardo also fancies itself as an exciting drinking establishment. Bardo takes its wine, beer andcocktail selection as seriously as it does its food ingredients. Our wine list is an innovative andevolving blend of California Varietals, as well as hidden gems from Italy, such as Single andMulti-Varietal Grappas, Proseccos and Moscatos and many other wines both by the glass, bottleand half bottle.Bardo will also feature 10 beers on tap, with an often updated complete list of 20. Lastly, thesignature aspect ofBardos drinking culture will be its cocktail menu. We have designed acocktail list around our in-house herb garden. Our bar chef has created a menu, adopting aseasonal approach; creating and producing cocktails that will use local ingredients, such as basil,spearmint, thyme, rosemary, tarragon, sage, and cilantro. Spearmint, for instance is an essentialingredient in our mojito, but it also adds a light zip to our Cosmopolitan. We will utilize freshsage in our Margaritas, thyme or tarragon in our Classic Bellini, as well as pairing our purplebasil with Pear Brandy.

    Aside from these fresh herbs and juices, our bar chef will be creating our own infusedvodkas, to capture some flavors that arent always readily available. For instance, we lookforward to serving our Flower Garden Martini, complete with hints of geranium, roses, andlavender.

    THE BUILDING

    The Location and Uniqueness of this building is crucial to the execution and our overall success.We have found the perfect building with which to build our Flagship location in the Olddowntown area of Costa Mesa. The Downtown area of Costa Mesa is an eclectic mix of oldstructures with lots of potential. This area is adjacent to Triangle square mall, and stretches fromthe end of the 55 fwy to 17th street. It has a pleasant mix of retail, service and restaurant spaces.Next door to is The Closet, an emerging Retail store with a successful caf inside known asChow. El Matador is a block away, a successful long running Mexican joint known for itslarge selection of Tequilas. Hawllywoods is a famous Rockabilly barbershop that has justrelocated to the block. A bike shop a surfboard shop, dive bars and several beauty salons are just

    a few of the existing business on the immediate block. The city owned Parking lots to the rear ofthese businesses on Newport blvd are dedicated for servicing this Old Downtown area.

    THE DESIGN

    ebdesign and Hollywood based Dmar will be tasked with transforming the current retailspace into this contemporary pizza joint. ebdesign has vast experience; designing and buildingdozens of restaurants in the Los Angeles Orange County areas over the past 15 years, earningrespect and accolades from his peers and clients including: The SLS Hotel, Bazaar by JoseAndres, Michael Minas XIV, Katsuya, 25 degrees, The Thompson Hotel, Bond St., Javiers, TheHollywood Roosevelt Hotel, Kantina, Chloe, Le Dome, Sushi Roku, and Boa Steakhouse to

    The Concept developed for will be simple and Green. Although applying for LEED creditswill be cost prohibitive, we will be as environmentally conscious in our building as possible.First point of emphasis in the remodel will be to Remove the interior drop ceiling, exposing thestunning Real Truss and plank T&G Barrel ceiling. This will create an impressive and warmoverall feeling to the space. We will be re-sawing and reusing the old Doug Fir ceilings as wallpaneling and treatments. Skylights will be added to this beautiful 60-year-old ceiling to allowfor an abundance of natural light during the day. An organic vegetable and herb garden will beincorporated into a faux front patio, allowing us to pull from our own garden to supply Basil,Oregano and other fresh herbs to name a few. An elevated garden will cover the south facingentrance to . Solar panels will be used to reinforce the existing electrical supply. Earthy tonedClay based wall plasters, zero off-gassing finishes, reclaimed timbers and hardwoods withrecycled glass countertops and tiles are just a few of the touches in store for this new andexciting design.

    DIRECT COMPETITION & LOCAL INDUSTRY IN GENERAL

    While Orange Countys reputation for unique and exciting restaurant destinations is improving,it is still greatly underrepresented. Speaking specifically to Pizza-centric restaurants, we feel as

    though Newport Beach and Costa Mesa gravely miss what we are proposing. While Italianchains run rampant through strip malls, we will stand alone as the elite dining/drinkingestablishment in the greater Newport Beach/Costa Mesa area focusing solely on Pizza and handcrafted cocktails. Ortica stands alone as our sole competition. They however are an Italianrestaurant that serves Pizza. Whispers that Mario Batali is snooping around Orange County for alocation for Mozza further validates that this town is ready for this concept.

    MARKETING STRATEGY

    Entertainment. The primary objective of the company is the servicing and entertainment ofeach one of its guests. Bardo will establish itself as a premier venue for food and entertainmentin Orange County. The company plans to commit resources to several special events, innovative

    dining experiences, and imaginative promotions to keep our environment as fun for its customersas the food is tantalizing.

    Point of Origination Marketing. The companys Point of Origination Marketing is based on itsestablished relationships throughout Orange County. With most Executive Members of theCompany originating from the Orange County area, the Company is confident that theirrelationships will be instrumental in driving traffic. We are looking forward to spreading brandrecognition through our internal marketing programs into other counties such as Los Angeles andSan Diego.

    Marketing Partners. The Company will also employ the assistance of its media partners such

    as Niche Publications (publisher of Hampton Magazine, Aspen Peak and LA Confidential),Ocean Drive Magazine (publisher of Vegas Magazine, Peach Magazine), GQ Magazine andDennis Publishing (publisher of Maxim, Blender and Stuff Magazine). These relationships willgreatly support the Companys efforts in establishing brand awareness throughout the Californiaand other parts of the United States. The Company will also work in partnership with travelcompanies such as Southwest Airlines, Virgin Airlines, and Travelocity to provide immediateinformation to customers as they plan their visits to Orange County.

    Promotions. One of the primary reasons for the success of Bardo will be its ability to producevarious events and its ability to promote these events.
