“ Bernard's Grove is an excellent local fine dining restaurant. The service is great and the staff are very personable. The owners are hands on and very involved as well. The food is awesome! We had yellow fin tuna, veal, and crab cakes. Every part of the meal was prepared to perfection. Then for dessert we had a peanut butter mousse. It was awesome! I highly recommend going here for a nice evening out for any special occasion or just for a great dinner. ”
“ The service is fantastic. They are prompt to check on you without hovering and care about your experience. The food is amazing. I had the Char Grilled Black Angus Fillet. The fillet came cooked perfectly to order and the red wine Demi glaze was outstanding. The fresh vegetables were perfectly cooked and consisted of squash strips, eggplant strips and red pepper strips. My GF had the char-grilled porterhouse pork chop. The rice was slightly below her standard but being Puerto Rican, she is a bit of a rice snob. The apples were a bit sour but added a nice contrast to the chop. Overall, this is a high recommend. The place needs an aesthetic update but you can’t eat the decor. The only bad thing I can say if forced is that my butter for the bread was served right out of the fridge and would have destroyed the warm bread. I asked for it to be warmed up a bit and the waitress had no issue. Again, great service with a smile. ”
“ The food was outstanding! Truly one of the best steaks I’ve ever had in my life - the ribeye special was served hot, well-seasoned, perfectly cooked, and buttery melt-in-your-mouth texture. The shrimp and crab bisque, croquette, and Caesar salad were all really great too. I had a hard time deciding what to get for dessert because everything sounded incredible - went with the creme brulee and it did not disappoint! Portion sizes for everything were generous - we both came home with leftovers. Quality, taste, beautiful presentation, and portion size were all on par for the prices and exceeded expectations. The owner was so great and really wonderful to talk to as well! There’s a lovely outdoor seating area when weather is nice, and the atmosphere inside is warm and cozy - everyone feels like a friend. Definitely make a reservation in advance and plan to enjoy a drink at the bar while you wait for your table because it gets packed. Our drinks (regular brandy old fashioneds) were 12 each and that felt a little pricey for what they were, but fine for a special night out. If you’re opposed to credit card fees, bring cash. Great find - a really special place. I can absolutely see why they have regulars! ”
“ First time going here, it was great. Server was awesome and very friendly. I tried the lunch special sandwich and it was amazing, I ate the whole thing. I would love to go back and try the dinner menu there! For lunch they have sandwiches, soups, and salads. Dinner menu specials looks so tasty. Wine list looks good too! ”
“ We were there tonight for our anniversary dinner. Service was prompt. Apps were very large portions. Salads chilled, crisp, fresh. The Entrees were excellent. Chicken French and Blue Fin Tuna. We left with to go boxes. We'll continue to return here. ”
“ New owner & updated decor. Fabulous pomegranate mule with ginger and lime for openers. The filet with bacon and gorgonzola top was ordered as a medium and came out a perfect medium and beautifully plated. Servers were attentive and friendly. New owner MJ stopped by and chatted, wishing us Happy Holidays. Definitely worth stopping by! ”
“ Had to update this review! As usual an amazing service the other night! Our server Jamie is always the best and the food has never been less then amazing. Had to add my pics! Crab cakes, filet and salmon. Sorry about the first bite missing on the salmon.. couldn't wait to dive in. ”
“ This restaurant is a perfect GEM in North Greece, NY. The owner, and staff take excellent care of all of their patrons. The ambiance outside is perfection, with soft music, and a gorgeous display of flora, on a very lovely deck. It was like a true vacation. We ordered a lovely bottle of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc, and started off with oysters, so fresh, that I felt I was off the Northern Atlantic. We then ordered the Filet Mignon with Bacon, and whipped Yukon Gold Potatoes, and fresh summer vegetables, and the Mahi-Mahi over a bed of coconut jasmine rice, with a kiwi-avacado mango chutney. The Filet, while good, was just a tad dry (we ordered medium rare), but it was encrusted beautifully, with a sauce that was a savory delight. The bacon flavor was delicate, and didn't overshadow the meat. I think the star of the night was the Mahi-Mahi. Originally the menu of the day featured it to be Swordfish, but I think the Mahi was a far better choice. It was seared wonderfully, and the chutney was outstanding. But what really was the stunner was the coconut infused jasmine rice. This was the piece that pulled this meal together. We were completely full after dinner, but lingered over the bottle of wine, as I think we didn't want to leave. It felt we were on a vacation, but to a familiar place, and one which I would like to return. ”
