Wow, what a great evening at Bernard's! Just in town for one night and we definitely hit the jackpot. Delicious food, great service and fun, downtown atmosphere! Our server Matt was awesome!! He made terrific menu suggestions and even suggested a few places to visit on our quick visit. If you go be sure to try the crab cakes, brussel sprouts and be sure to ask for Matt!!! Enjoy!!!

Driving South, staying overnight in Roanoke. Would be a regular at Bernard's if we lived here. Nothing disappointed..... from raw oysters to bourbon salmon and cottage pie( Shepard's). Banana butterscotch pudding was the bomb! And they craft a tasty margarita!!
Kudos to the chef/ owners. And Rachel is a very attentive and friendly waitress. Great experience!

We tried this place on a whim and it was outstanding. The service was great, we were able to park right outside on the street, and the atmosphere was really cool.

The food was very well prepared, really tasty and the portions were generous.

It wasn't cheap, but it didn't break the bank either. The entrees and sandwiches were all around 20, which is good for dinner.

The pear martini was delicious!
