    This was our second time at Bernadins. I will have to say we are glad we gave it a second chance. It was a little awkward at the entrance as no one was there. We had to go from that area, which is separate from the dining area, to find someone that could help with our reservation. The menu was much improved, and they had a separate fixed price menu for the evening, we chose the fixed price menu and both of our selections were great. The desserts were out of this world, creme brulee and chocolate cake with ice cream and strawberries. A reasonable price, great service and delicious food!

    The food is fresh and delicious with plenty of options for all! The service is one of a kind that will keep me coming back. From the warm greeting from Olivia when you open the door to the special attention from James, makes you feel like you are home! This is my new fav in Charlotte!

    Apps and entrees were okay- dessert was presented as Minute Maid sorbet (eh), our server was nice but we were celebrating getting married that day and our only ask was a booth. They stuck us upstairs at a small table alone in a corner (a few lights out) by the restrooms. When we arrived, staff was congregating and sitting together at the bar. When we left, staff was sitting there still congregating and sitting at the bar. Overall, disappointing. Likely won’t return.

    Food was excellent. Well taken care of by server. The Bar needs attention. Basically a mixed drink bar - need selections of bourbons and rums for those that like their drinks "neat". Only rum selections were Bacardi and Captain Morgan??? I would go back for the food only.
