It would be nice to deal with 1 or 2 wait staff rather than 5 or 6.

We have been to Brasserie Bernard twice now & still love the food. The calamari is perfectly seasoned & fried - my absolute favourite. Our friend said that the French onion soup has ruined other ones for him & that it was thick & extremely oniony. The cheese plate is always a crowd pleaser with delicious dried fruits & nuts. For mains, the duck confit is rich & decadent, the moule frites were also delicious.

I have lived in the neighbourhood for 25 years & have been here several times since it opened. Very disappointed this time around. I was entertaining an American friend & they have no English menus. The food was not great & our waiter basically forgot about us & I had to wait 20 minutes to order another glass of wine. The cocktails were not that great either. Maybe if we spoke French, which I do, we would have been served better. Or maybe the restaurant is not that great any more. Certainly not going back & it's off my recommend list.
