Amazing place that really adds to the downtown area. I always have a good experience at Berni's - food and service are top notch.

Edit - after a few years the service and food have left me a little underwhelmed. I’m not sure what happened but it is just not as good as it used to be.
June 2025
I ordered chicken Alfredo, the dish never specified that it had vegetables, and the “Alfredo sauce” they gave me was cream of mushroom soup. This is extremely upset to not only me and my mother who used to own a run this restaurant, but to the guests we brought with us. If I could upload a picture I would.
May 2025
Slow service, lots of confusion around food orders, and the bathroom stalls in the ladies room are curtains, not doors. And the men’s room toilet has no privacy… again no stall door. Won’t come back
