While traveling to Roanoke this past week for work, I dropped in for dinner.on Veterans day and had THE BEST service, sensational food (special Seafood platter) and delicious smoked cherry old fashioned!! The ambiance felt as you entered was so calming after a day of airport roulette lol!!

I enjoyed the complete experience so much that I went back the next 2 nights for dinner to see how repeat experience was. It surpassed my expectations both nights! I enjoyed...

Awesome experience! We've been wanting to try Bernard's but always forget to make a reservation and it's hard to get a table on the weekend, as it's not a huge place. BUT, we finally got to try it yesterday for our 3rd wedding anniversary. So good! We had the frickles, the burrata salad, the crab cakes, and the salmon. We were too stuffed for dessert! Everything was superb and the cocktails were great too. Service was impeccable. We'll be back!

The restaurant is small and very quaint. They accommodated our party of 8 easily but I wouldn’t try for bigger. Perfect fit 2-4 size parties. The food was amazing. I had bourbon glazed salmon. The portions are big so you will probably go home with another meal. We all enjoyed our drinks as well. Definitely going back when we want a great meal downtown.
