| - Stopped in to celebrate Father's Day since I work weekends. Was nervous but hopeful about our meal. It was my wife, daughter and I in our party. We were seated immediately as we had a reservation. Having checked the menu before hand we went straight to ordering the french onion soup for our appetizer. We loved the soup! I would go back to Bernard's just for the soup!
For entrees I got the peppercorn filet, my wife got the petite filet trio, and my daughter got the Caesars salad with chicken. I loved my filet! It was cooked exactly how I ordered it, with a delicious peppercorn sauce. So tender I could almost cut it with my fork. The fries that came with it were also delicious, however I was not impressed with the vegetables. While very good quality veggies, there should have been more of them considering the price of the meal. Not a big ding however.
My wife was thrilled with her filet trio, which looked great to me. I would have chosen that dish, however I thought the sauces would come on the steak, I wasn't aware they would be provided on the side, which is a great idea! The mashed potatoes that the filet rested on were also delicious.
My daughter's salad was a sight to behold with fresh veggies and a generous amount of dressing without being too much. And they didn't skimp on the chicken - which was juicy and tasty.
We were also served french bread, which was delicious. They also didn't skimp on that, bringing us 2 bowl fulls and I'm sure had we asked for more they would have brought a third bowl to us.
We finished with dessert, I had the chocolate fondant cake, my wife had the key lime cheesecake, and my daughter had the New York style cheesecake. All three were terrific, but I think I lucked out with the chocolate fondant cake, which wasn't overly sweet or overly filling making it the perfect topper to a great meal.
I have to make a special mention about the staff. They were all wonderful, friendly and helpful! They really made the dining experience a 5 star meal. I was so impressed by the professionalism they showed and the care we received I was very happy and look forward to returning to Bernard's Bistro soon!
