Dinner at Bernie's

by clee5157 at Citysearch

tight seating and overpriced

by ohanion at Citysearch

I heard great things about Bernard's and was highly dissapointed when dining there. Their "Inventive" dishes lacked orginality and taste, food is overpriced and seating is quite enclosed. It was very noisy and we couldn't get away from our neighboring table's conversation. Service was better than most Chinese restaurants.

  • Pros: Service, Location
  • Cons: Pricey, Bland Food, Lacks Space

lunch

by cmrob at Citysearch

I have dined at Bernard's for lunch twice in the past week.

Today was exceptional, in that I tried the chicken soup with rice.

Sounds simple, but it was absolutely one of the most delicious

dishes I have had in a long, long time!!!
