Bernardin's Restaurant At Ratcliffe

Bernadins is a great location for a celebratory dinner or just a lunch date. The food is really good and reasonably priced.The service has been good during my visits and the space was very clean.This restaurant is in a good location uptown and they validate parking at the Green parking garage.

My husband and I did a date night at Bernardins and it was great.We were a little late for our reservation but were still seated right away. Our service was incredible.We split a bottle of wine, calamari appetizer and the wagyu steak entree. Everything was excellent.

I met up with my girlfriends at Bernardin's for a birthday celebration, and the ambiance set the tone perfectly--intimate, moody, with soft music playing in the background.We started with a trio of appetizers to share: Duck Confit Spring Rolls - Duck confit, mushrooms, foie gras, cabbage & plum sauce Fried Calamari - Served with a spicy aioli Fried Brussels Sprouts - Fried garlic & shallots, bacon, Manchego, bourbon soy sauceThe duck confit spring rolls were definitely the standout for me, with the fried calamari coming in a close second. Both were flavorful and perfectly cooked.For my entrée, I went with the Chicken Fettuccini Carbonara (grilled chicken breast, sun-dried tomatoes, prosciutto, green chickpeas, mushrooms, and parmesan). I was craving pasta, and our waitress assured us the portions were generous--and she wasn't wrong. It hit the spot, and I even had leftovers to take home!As for drinks, I tried two cocktails: French Soixante Quinze (French 75) - Hendrick's Gin, champagne, lemon juice, simple syrup. This was my favorite--well-balanced and refreshing. Suite 100 - Vodka, lemon juice, simple syrup, strawberry purée. It was decent but leaned a bit too tart for my taste.My girlfriends enjoyed their cocktails too: Blackberry Collins - Jack Daniels, muddled blackberries, lemon juice, simple syrup, soda water South Tryon Gimlet - Vodka, muddled fresh basil, simple syrup, lime juiceOverall, we had a great time celebrating, though nothing stood out enough to make me feel like I need to rush back. It was a pleasant experience, just not one I'd call unforgettable.

Dined at Bernadine's with a group from work this week. Fantastic service for our large party. I enjoyed my salmon dish. I would dine here again.

I've eaten here several times and the taste and quality is always on point. We had reservations and was seated quickly. The ambiance and atmosphere match the food quality as well. I had a combination of perfectly cooked salmon with a creamy spinach risotto and finishing with a decadent chocolate tort was absolutely wonderful. It's restaurant week and I highly recommend giving them a try.

This was a very intimate and nice place to eat dinner with your significant other. The ambiance is very romantic and the decor is chic. The service was excellent as our bartender and server were happy to help our group and celebrate birthdays. My food was delicious. I ordered the duck and calamari and everything was delicious! Very tasty and well seasoned! I also tried two cocktails and they were excellent! The blackberry Collin's and the south tryon gimlet were very good! Tasty!

Been wanting to try this place out finally did for our anniversary dinner date! The setting is old world European rustic! Our server was friendly and kept a close eye on us to ensure we had everything needed! Hubby opted for the seared salmon over fingerling tators and I had the roasted duck we enjoyed both. Portions were good as well. The Calamari was just ok we have had bette! As an anniversary treat we were served their cobbler of the day with ice cream and a candle to boot . Overall it was a nice evening!

We had a work dinner here. Alex was top notch! The ambience is perfect for a work dinner, date night or special celebration. Our group has sea bass, goat cheese ravioli, steak and bread pudding. All were amazing. Again, our service was amazing. Alex was great in every way.

I brought a friend here for lunch. Initially they wanted us to sit at the tables near the bar, but it was so hot in that area. Thankfully, they let us move to the dining room which had nice air conditioning. We sat in the fancy window booth which was great ! We had the ginger lemonade cocktail to start off. For $15, I thought it was quite small. I got the shrimp curry over rice. The curry sauce had amazing flavor. However, the shrimp were not cooked long enough and you could tell they had not been seasoned prior to cooking. That layer of flavor was missing. I think they thought the curry would do the job, but it didn't. Especially since the shrimp was not nicely cooked, the flavor seemed to slide off. My friend got the chicken sandwich with fries and enjoyed it. For dessert we both got the creme brulee. It was nice and creamy. NOTE : Bernardin's does NOT validate parking for lunch. Validation is only 5pm or later. There is a gorgeous garden park directly next to the restaurant which is perfect for a stroll afterward. I doubt if I will return for lunch. Our dinner experiences have always been much better and they always take time to cook things perfectly. However, it has been about 6 months since I've visited. Hopefully, dinners are still good here.

The restaurant is beautiful. Went there for my daughter's birthday. Unfortunately, it's not well run. Service was slow and they were out of a lot of things, even chicken. I would go back if they get it together.
