    Went there for lunch during Restaurant week. We sat inside as it was a hot day, and everyone else was outside, so it was quiet. Not sure what it would be like normally. Enjoyed our meals - food was very good.

    Bernadette exceeded our expectations and was the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. From the moment we walked in, the hosts made us feel genuinely welcome, and our waitress was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the evening without ever being intrusive. The French bistro is charming, elegant, and inviting. Every course was outstanding—from the incredible homemade bread to the perfectly prepared Moules Frites and Steak Frites. We finished with a delicious dessert, and the extra dry rosé champagne was the perfect complement to the meal. The combination of exceptional food, outstanding service, and a beautiful ambiance made for a memorable evening. Bernadette is a wonderful destination for a celebration or simply an unforgettable dinner. We can't wait to return!
