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.

Condescending Service Ruined the Evening

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was unacceptable.

Our bill was approximately $450. When I attempted to pay by tap, the transaction did not go through. I calmly explained that I regularly use tap payments for amounts higher than this. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the waiter immediately responded with a condescending remark:'Je ne sais pas où vous mangez généralement, monsieur, mais ça ne fonctionne pas.' The implication was obvious & insulting.

Rather than assisting a customer with a routine payment issue, the waiter chose to make unnecessary comments that were dismissive & disrespectful.

What made the situation even more disturbing were remarks made during the evening that we perceived as racist & antisemitic.

Such comments have absolutely no place in a restaurant, especially one positioning itself as a high-end establishment.

I left feeling disrespected & disappointed, & I would not recommend this establishment based on the service we received.

Soirée très agréable; j'ai pris le canard confit, il fondait dans la bouche, miam. Le service était impeccable, l'atmosphère animée.

I must say Bernard Street is going through a small renovation as to some of the restaurants previously there. The one thing I can comfortably say, Brasserie Bernard is still heads above all. I waited to post because we were there twice during a 7 day period. First lets start with the really nice French bistro vibe. The surprise for first my friends & I was a super cute & ultra friendly server Marco. Warm, inviting & honest when asked about suggestions first about wine & then about food. He really made our night. Keep him as you have a professional jewel.
The food is just consistently solid & delicious. Not easy every time.
We had the beef tartare with truffle. My girlfriend who has eaten all over the world has deemed it her favorite tartare. I would agree. We shared the main size as as starter. We could have had more. Incredibly good.
She had the veal ravioli. loved every bite. I had the duck confit.Amazing. Our friends had the salmon tartare to start. Mains were the mussels in the red marinara sauce. As well the steak frites. Happy smiles all around. Great good makes it easy. No room for dessert. When so many restaurants are vying for patrons these guys deserve it. Polished maitre D & of course Marco. He just made this experience just delightful. A must try... Thanks BB

The food was terrible - have no idea why this restaurant can have such a high rating in Google Maps. The worst restaurant I have ever tried. The chicken was so salty that I was afraid I would get kidney issue after the whole plate. The steak was so bad that there was crust, overcooked & very chewy. The oysters were very small - even including the shell, they were all smaller than my palm.

For sure not recommend this restaurant & for sure won't visit again. Wasting time, wasting money & ruin the day
