I visit Roanoke one a month or so and this is my favorite place to go. Really great food, great staff, cheap beer, this place is easily 5/5. Definitely call ahead if you are planning to stop by, 50/50 shot on if there’s plenty of space or a line out the door. I recommend the Bourbon Glazed Salmon 😊

Last night, my family ate there. Rachael recommended the chicken piccata with homemade pasta -- fabulous! The bourbon salmon is always great, and we make a lot of good salmon at home. Bernard's has never failed us, and they have a reliable and steady staff.

Came here late with the family after a week of eating well in Roanoke and SML. We were the last table of the night but were still treated to amazing food and service. We shared the mussels appetizer, which was just as good as our favorite seafood spots in NYC. The chef perfectly split the poached pear salad and bourbon salmon for me and the wife, which were also an amazing dinner combo. We'll be back next time we're in town!
