This was our first time dining at Bernardins and it did not disappoint. We had a reservation for 7pm and we were able to be seated shortly there after. The drink menu was elegant and our appetizer was delightful. We both thoroughly enjoyed our entrees as well. Dining aside, what really stood out was our server, Charles, attentiveness and charm. He made sure we felt welcome and answered all of our questions about the menu. We will be returning to dine with you again. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Great food and fine portions. The food and service were really good. Price is a bit inflated in my opinion. I would definitely go again when I'm in the area but would need a special reason to shell out that kind of cash. It's not a "hey, let's go to dinner" type place.

Food 5 Stars! Waitress microwaved my coffee to heat it! I asked which wine would go best with EMU & she forgot before she got back to our table. I tried EMU for the first time & loved it!! This dish was incredible!! My husband ordered Surf-n-Turf (medium & it came closer rare. He mentioned it twice & he only got Im sorry. Thats it. I ordered coffee with desserts. She brought it nice & warm with creamer to add, but no spoon. I asked for it to be warmed up, expecting a little more hot coffee. She brought it back scalding hot! I assumed it was a new cup, added another Splenda

If you have a chance to go don't miss out! This is one of my favorite fine dining experiences in Charlotte! I love this place! Some may say service is a lil bit slow but it is well worth the wait. The place is super clean super cozy service is good and staff try so hard to keep everyone happy even when they're stretched thin. I've tried a little bit of everything over the years and it's ALL AMAZING!
On our last visit we got drinks while waiting for them to prep our table. Then got a few appetizers and ended up sharing some main dishes so we would have room for dessert as well. We ended up trying

Zero clue what to expect. Expectations blown out of the water. Reserved a table for my daughters birthday. Seated immediately and treated like gold. We all ordered different entrees. I indulged in the goat cheese ravioli with brown butter sauce and fresh veggies. Wow. Wow. Wow. Decadent, delicious and perfect presentation. Also appearing on the table: surf & turf, scallops and emu!!! Everyone left eagerly awaiting their soft pants LOL!!! Great meal, easy parking, excellent ambiance.
