    "I've been wanting to try their food for the past about three years, my second time in the establishment and first time trying it. I went Sunday afternoon. They have brunch open till 3 PM. And dinner starts at 4. The menu was a bit smaller than the dinner menu. however, everything was perfect waitress was helpful. Seating is nice multiple TVs to enjoy the game the food was great and in all around beautiful atmosphere. It is getting colder outside, but they do have outside dining available for summertime accommodations as well."

    "A friend and i showed up for lunch, but brunch was still going on, which was fine. We were seated right away but it took another 20 minutes before our waitresses came to take our orders. She was the only staff member woking that section, so she was stretched very thin. Although the waitress was nice, the food was subpar at best. Definitely was a letdown compared to other Bernie's experiences."

    "Food was good, not great by my standards. Had the crispy beef which was 4 medallions of beef, over cooked on a 4-person sized bed of French fries, that were drowning in a weird mix of a sweet ginger sauce and a savory mayonnaise. BBQ wings were juicy and nicely seasoned. Very good service. Will come back for a 2d try. Definitely worth trying to decide for yourself."

    "I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty busy but nonetheless the service was great. The food was tasty and well priced. I ordered a side of sausage and the Big Guy which came with French toast, 1 pancake, bacon, eggs, and home fries. I love how crispy the home fries were and the portions of the sausages. They also serve alcohol! I highly recommend making a reservation before coming. Also the address on the site is wrong and the gps took me to a high school. The address on google is correct. It was inconvenient and annoying that the business website had the wrong address but thankfully I didn't have to drive far to the correct address."

    "Food was pretty good. Service was OK. Ambiance was really nice. Asked for a cocktail that they said they had, and then made it with replacement ingredients instead of just letting me know they were actually out. I'll give it a second shot, but wasn't overly impressed."

    "When I arrived I was told that I couldn't be seated without a reservation because they were short staffed and wasn't accepting walk ins. After explaining that I tried to reserve on OpenTable but it suggested I call them. And when I called them earlier I was told to just come. So they made an exception I was told and seated me. The service was awesome, my waitress was really attentive. The food was surprisingly very tasty! I ordered the petite filets entree. Mash potatoes were incredible, veggies on point but my steak was a little too chewy and I order mines medium. The mussels with the garlic sauce was great! Now those Hawaiian sliders, omg they were so good! Made with real ham! (See photo) My cocktail was also amazing! First one was really good, the second one was really strong If you dine inside, bring a sweater or jacket as I was freezing whenever I wasn't flashing (that's another story ) Overall good experience."

    "Great flavors with everything we ordered. We had the crabcake which was all crab!! The mussels were cooked to perfection. Everything was tasty and we will be sure to come back. The atmosphere makes it for easy entertaining. So excited for a place like this!! The filet, crispy beef and sauteed shrimp were all hits with our table!!"
