Had Bernardin's for lunch and it exceeded expectations. The restaurant was bustling, and seems to be every day at lunchtime. Service was quick and everything on the menu tasted great. I had the crab cakes. Combined with the fries and fresh vegetables, it was a filling option for lunch. This was a great quick sit down lunch and I will be returning.

Had a reservation, but it took 15 minutes for someone to come to the lobby to seat us (another guest had to go ask). Dress code is not enforced - tons of folks in jeans, some in hoodies and sneakers. For "specializing in game meats", being out of both the boar and the elk is a little silly. Atmosphere was a confusing mix of modern and Greco-Roman, with chips in the wall paint and blinds falling off the windows. Food that we were able to order was tasty, although service was a tad slow. Burrata salad was the best thing we had all evening.

I made a reservation in advance to come to Bernadins for lunch with my work team.We were seated immediately but the area was a table beside the lobby. It was extremely cold so most of our group left their coats on. I asked to be moved and the restaurant was trying to accommodate us but it ended up taking too much time so we stayed put.Our server was fabulous and kept joking about the temperature. It was hilarious. Our waiter brought bread and water out right away. Our table ordered a variety of entrees. The crab cakes were delicious along with the soup of the day. Everyone really enjoyed their food.At the end, the waiter brought I separate checks and they all included gratuity. He was really phenomenal. This would be a 5 star review if it wasn't for the temperature and being right by the door.We will all be back!

This is my first time visiting this restaurant it is located in uptown on Tryon. There is a parking garage next to the restaurant, so it makes it easy for parking. I came out with my family visiting from Atlanta. We were a party of six. We have reservations, and when everyone arrive the server took us to our table I waitress is Taylor. She was super great at accommodating everyone. We definitely had a lot of questions. Not only did Taylor get our food out to us quickly take our drink orders and deliver them in a timely fashion but also she took some pictures for us. I could go on and on about her but overall I was satisfied with the ambience and the food. I ordered salmon and it was supposed to be medium, but it would seem to be overcooked although, t was not dry. I had crabcakes as my appetizer and they were good. They were not over breaded it was a lot of lump crab meat. I would love to come back to this restaurant for date night. Thank you, Taylor!

Booked a table for two for an early 6 pm dinner at Bernardin's and was disappointed, for starters our service was a bit slow, secondly the atmosphere is a sort of mismatched, out-dated interior, thirdly i ordered a medium rare steak that ended up being rare and just hard to eat. on the positive side our server was really nice and helped me choose a cocktail which was so delicious!

I absolutely love a pleasant surprise... Bernardin's in Charlotte was IT! From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, I had an astounding experience! This was not a special occasion, where I was looking for my socks to be blown off, but instead, just a regular night out with my girls, and wanted to eat some good food. Our server Nhip was a gem! So sweet and knowledgeable of the menu she made it easy to decide amongst all of our individual taste buds and preferences even when we overlooked some ingredients that we wouldn't like she brought it to our attention! A+++ Nhip! She needs a raise! The dining area we were seated at overlooked the entire dining room and felt very private! we liked that a lot and was necessary because we desperately needed to catch up...Nice touch! Ok let's get into it...The food...For starters we had the duck confit spring rolls which is stuffed with mushroom, fois gras, cabbage, and plum sauce. After a visit in Paris I felt that I knew what I was in for....NOPE! IT WAS EVEN BETTER!!! So good that I didn't get a picture because after one bite it was devoured immediately! Truly the star of the show!Also for a starter I tried the vegetable soup which was the soup of the day...it was good but definitely could have used a bit more flavor but I liked they didn't skimp on the veggies!For entrees we had the following:Chicken fettuccine carbonara (without the prosciutto)Lobster ravioli that came with a 5 ounce lobster tail!Surf and turf - 9 ounce filet mignon, topped with red wine sauce served with duck fat béarnaise, sautéed spinach and crispy herb potato cake, accompanied by a 5 ounce lobster tail!Side items were the truffle, macaroni and cheese and crispy Brussel sprouts.EVERY SINGLE BITE WAS TOP NOTCH!!!!!!We couldn't finish all our meals so to take it home and reheat the next day is always scary because it might not taste the same but not these items! All was still so delicious! If I can give this place 10 stars I would, but yelp only allows me to give 5 lol. The general manager, James Walker was an absolute gem and made our dining experience exceptional! Please do yourself a favor and make reservations today you will not regret it! Bernadin's I cannot wait for you to have me back! Next time I have to meet the chef!THANK YOU BERNADIN'S!

This was a great little restaurant for date night. Very small, and the tables are close to each other, so don't plan on having sensitive conversation. The food was really good. I had the fried oysters, which were a tad spicy but delicious! I also had the lobster ravioli, which came with a lobster tail and was amazing. Hubby got the pork belly, which was tasty, and the salmon, which was a bit salty but still good. He had to order extra gnocchi since his plate only came with a couple. We both had the Parisian Martini, which was refreshing and strong and delicious. Great spot!

I have been here couple of times for business dinners and date night. This is a solid place to go if you are looking for a nicer restaurant in the city. Service has always been good and you actually have ample space between tables so you don't feel cramped. However, I don't know if it's the way the ceilings are built but the noise level is pretty bad for a restaurant of this caliber. I can never hear the person sitting across for me and sometimes have had difficulties with the person next to me. There's something unique about the way sound travels in the main dining area. Food is just ok for the price. The emu and venison are unique in that you don't see those options in most places and this place does a pretty solid job of preparing the meat. Outside of those two unique items, everything from the calamari to the crème brûlée are just ok. I'll never complain going here if it's a business dinner or someone else is paying but I don't think I'd ever pick this place for myself.

I bought some flowers and a teddy bear and had to return them the next day which the shop owner actually accepted. That's nice

My SO and I came to this place for our anniversary and I didn't know what to expect at first. It is in a great area called the Green and in the heart of uptown Charlotte. The interior design is exquisite and upscale. The service was amazing. Our server was very helpful and informative on the menu. The appetizers we got were the fried gulf oysters and the New England clam chowder. They were both good, rich in flavor. The main entree I got was the pan roasted sea scallops diver, and let me just say, those scallops were well seasoned and the risotto just melts in your mouth. We also got cocktails called the Tipsy Golfer and it was delicious and sweet, which could be risky. Overall, we had a lovely experience here and definitely would come back.

First time here and it did not disappoint! Everything was amazing and so flavorful! I got the wedge salad, the seafood dish that had scallops, shrimp, mussels and white fish in a yummy tomato sauce, and the creme brûlée for dessert. Waitress was a amazing and the ambience in here is great! I was solo but it's definitely a great spot to go for girls night or a date.
