| - I was so excited when a family member wanted their birthday dinner to happen here. My guy and I had been wanting to try Bernard's since it opened.
Walking in, is pretty interesting. The bistro had a man playing music, and the movie "Titanic" was playing on several TV's throughout the restaurant. It also had quite a few titanic themed things around.... Which I was confused by. My cousin and I googled the Titanic, and it's an English ship.
English ship.... French restaurant.
Interesting.
The table is brought bread, which is delicious..Flat out, possibly the best bread I have ever eaten.. My cousins and I agreed on this.
For appetizers, the table ordered a margarita flat bread, escargot, and calamari.
I didn't dare try the snails. My uncle who did though, said that they were fabulous. The calamari was a tad chewy and tasteless. The flat bread had decent flavor... but no texture. No crunch.
I ordered the special, Which was lamb and duck breast. I ordered the lamb rare, and the duck medium rare. It was my first time having duck, so, I was a little nervous, and a little excited. I ordered a side of french fries for my 2 year old.
When my meal came. I was confused.
It had about 5 pieces of sliced duck, 2 PETITE lamb chops, some garlic mashed potatoes, 2 different sauces, and
one slice of RAW red bell pepper
one round slice of carrot
one stem of asparagus
one piece of broccoli.
I guess this is artistic?
The lamb was okay. Didn't have a crust on it, the lamb had fat on it, that made it very chewy. The duck was also very chewy. The most tender thing on my plate was mashed potatoes. When I'm paying $60 for a plate, that's sad.
My daughter's french fries didn't have a "crunch" or texture to them either. But, she's two and devoured them.
Speaking of children, this really isn't the place for them.... because if they play the titanic every night, the last thing you want your kid to possibly see is the car scene, or the drawing scene.
Kate winslet is beautiful, I just don't want to see her breasts while I'm trying to eat.
Total bill was about $400, for the food that they're serving, eh, I just don't see coming back.
