Great music. Service friendly and attentive. Food was disappointing. Shrimp was overcooked, steak was full of gristle. Fries were bland, undercooked and lukewarm. Veal was bland and over sauced. Creme brûlée was good. Expensive and not worth the money. More

Decided to walk in for dinner and give it a try.
My dad got the Veal and I got the Duck Confit.
Oh my gosh! It was so delicious! And the meals were plated beautifully as well.
I left very satisfied. Will go back for sure!

Was looking for an amazing lunch, and managed to find it. I was greeted by Max, who was warm and inviting. He helped me decide on a meal and I chose the soup of the day (potato puree,) the half chicken (amazing sauce) and the crème brûlée. I was very satisfied with my meal and service. Will definitely be back! More

Had lunch the other day at Bernadette's Bistro! What a gem! I ordered the endive salad. It was endive beautifully laid out with moist, perfectly seasoned sliced chicken, caramelized onions, blue cheese crumbles, pecans and thinly sliced green apples in a Dijon vinaigrette. Absolutely delicious! More
