   Great food!! A variety of choices for any food preference. I liked the 3- course dinner choices. Friendly and attentive staff. I would surely return.

   We had a lovely dinner out at Bernie’s! We enjoyed the cocktail hour drink specials, and ordered a variety of entrees and a couple starters. Their calamari is ok, it could have been a little crisper but the side sauces were good. We ordered Panchetta Roast and Gnocchi with Vodka cream sauce. Both dishes were outstanding! Would recommend! Our server Kenya was friendly and attentive and we loved the ambiance. We will definitely return for the dinner and show.

   This is the 1st average experience that we have had at Bernie’s. It was a Valentines dinner special. The meal sounded and looked delicious…. The dinner was not cheap. Unfortunately, the meal itself arrived at the table…. Warm at best. I think this may have put me off…. As I just didn’t think the value for the meal was there, which was very disappointing. The multiple staff were amazing as usual. In the end, I’d still recommend this restaurant and am hoping this Valentine’s dinner was just an anomaly.

   Darcy, your review is very generous despite our shortcomings. Thank-you so much. I'm really sorry to hear that we didn't deliver on this special occasion and certainly understand you disappointment. I too hope this was just an anomaly and am confident that's the case, but I apologize. I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back and do better. I know we can.

   Great vibe, very quick and kind service, off menu cocktails not always the most consistent but that seems valid. A lot more seating options than expected, and a great location.

   It’s a lovely place to eat. However although the food was tasty and flavorful, it was lukewarm when it came to the table. Had the food been hot I’d given it four stars for sure.
   

   Bernie'sResponded 5 days ago

   That's definitely not ideal, Tony. I apologize and share your disappointment. I know our Chef will be keen to hear this feedback and address it with his team. If you're willing to give us another shot, I know we can do better. I hope we might have the opportunity to welcome you again sometime. Regardless, thank-you for your review.

   Food was fabulous. Service was great, accommodating, but a wee bit slow. Ambience was really nice, tho the area we were in was rather dark... we saw a patron slip on the floor near us, possibly due to the lighting being so low in that area

   Thank-you for your review, ian! We really appreciate you taking the time to share all of this feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed your meal, and grateful that you've given us a couple of things to work on. Cheers!

   The King Salmon was a perfect choice for me: well-balanced with the lentils and root vegetables and tasty sauce. My friend seemed completely engrossed in the Mussels & Clams. The desserts were also a treat. Kenya provided excellent service from start to finish with others bringing food items the moment they were ready. The music mix was spot on and it was nice that we could easily hear each other across the table.

   This is all wonderful to hear, John! Thank-you. Really happy to know your enjoyed your visit. I'll make sure to pass your compliments along to Kenya and the kitchen team - thank-you for taking the time to share them!
