The escargot was still frozen when it arrived at the table. Frozen snails will turn a tummy.

This is my favorite restaurant in Tyler Texas! The steaks are unbelievable and the scallops are the best I've ever had anywhere!! Bernard is still at the restaurant almost every night!! read more

Bernard's Mediterranean Restaurant - Portobello Filet - Mediterranean Near Me - Tyler, Texas

This little spot was recommended to me by a local. I don't think I would have found it on my own. I had probably one of the best sit-down meals that I have had in a long time. The food and service was fantastic! I will back :) read more

The olive tapanade is ahhhhmazing. The baked brie, also delicious! I've yet to have anything I didn't enjoy. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. Love it! read more

This would be a good place for a romantic dinner or special occasion. The atmosphere is very fancy and the waitstaff very accommodating. The food was very good. I had elk chops which were very tender (not always the case with game) and included a nice sauce. My wife had the trout which was good, but not spectacular--nothing bad, just relatively bland. Others in our party had pasta dishes which were quite good. The prices were on the high end, but worth it for a nice night out. read more

Though not a place my budget permits us to eat often, their Chilean Sea Bass is arguably the single best food item I have ever eaten. It is AMAZING. read more

My wife and i have celebrated three of her birthdays in this restaurant. Always delicious food and good service. Great variety on the menu and their chocolate tuxedo cake is too die for. Luisa and I will definitely be back to dine here in this romantic setting again. read more

You have to love everything on the menu at Bernard's. It is a favorite, and we dine often. We've never been disappointed with the food. I love the bread that start the meal with along with the perfect dinner salad. The offerings of entrées are delicious and, nightly specials that never disappoint, The wine list has a lovely selection of both reds and whites. The bar is usually hopping and can mix some of the best cocktails I've ever tried. You can end your meal with one of the tasty desserts or a nice after dinner drink. Both coffee and tea are available. The atmosphere includes candles on the table, excellent service in the feel of the romantic mediterranean. read more

Wonderful in all ways! Atmosphere, staff, food presentation and flavors, wines. Great for special occasions.

We like the food and ambiance. Owner is on premise, usually over-seeing kitchen. Likes to check on customers. A little pricey, but the real challenge is trying to scale those 8 ft. bar stools, or at least they feel like it. I looked like a toddler trying to get into a high chair. If you aren't 7 foot tall, you might want to just stand. read more

Food was excellent! Staff was very friendly and informative. Prices were reasonable but we don't drink so our meal likely cost less than most other visitors. Great place to sit and talk. Beautiful decor and candles lit at every table. Will definitely come back and recommend to everyone! read more

Bernard's Mediterranean Restaurant - Vegetable Tortellini with Marinara - Mediterranean Near Me - Tyler, Texas

Best restaurant in Tyler, TX! Great wine selection and good cocktails as well. Our family celebrates every special event here. Our favorites are the stuffed mushrooms for the appetizer and the filet for the entree! We love to sit in the cellar when we go. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and there are always great specials! read more

An oldie but a goodie. We were first introduced to Bernard's eight years ago and it remains one of our favorites in Tyler. Don't let the strip mall approach from the 80's fool ya, the food is amazing and their robust specials are sure to impress. The beef Wellington could be a meal in and of itself as could the crab cakes. Their wines are surprisingly well priced and their cocktails are tasty. Bring your appetite and be wowed! read more

I made a reservation over 2 weeks ago for me parents 50th anniversary. They showed me where we would be seated etc. this was a super special dinner for our family. We get there last night and they have us seated in the middle of the bar. I was not happy. We asked to be moved and you could tell they weren't happy. They finally moved us and we did get a sweet waitress. Then my dad ordered a drink and they were out of that and out of coke glasses. This is how the night went. I was so disappointed. We could have made reservations anywhere but we chose here. I just had high hopes. read more

i love there baked brie cheese so much and such a nice dining experience inside the restaurant

Just visiting from California and we're really happy with everything. Food was great and cooked just right. Had a yummy Cosmo and good Cabernet from Paso Robles. Service was excellent. Thank you! read more

Food and service were amazing this place is tucked away but worth finding. While it was crowded the noise level was good. We could hold a conversation with no issues. read more

What a great evening, amazing food, enjoyable chat with the owner and engaging conversation with our bartender/server. All the food was delicious, and the recommended local Texan wine was perfect. Lastly, the bill was incredibly reasonable, especially given the quality. Far above any other dining experience in Tyler. read more

I have a wonderful experience here every time I go (which is probably once or twice a year). My fiancé made reservations for a double date on my birthday. I felt like a complete Princess. I wish I had asked if they still served cream brûlée, but I didn't have room for dessert after the spectacular meal we had. read more

A1 sauce????? no reason to ruin a great steak from this restaurant. It's a favorite of mine and I love that they owner takes the time to make table visits. read more

Very nice atmosphere, not overpriced and excellent food. The chef's daily specials are always on point.

Complimentary sliced bread and olive tapenade was delish. Escargot had heavy garlic, parm cheese and salt. It killed the taste buds for rest of meal. House salad was iceberg lettuce, a few shredded carrot pieces, and a few sliced black olives. Really? For an upscale restaurant? Main course of Atlantic salmon with a heavy salty sauce. Companion had crab-stuffed trout with a heavy sauce. Everything listed seemed to have heavy sauces. Both entrees were on top of unremarkable mashed potatoes with three asparagus spears. Trout had only two. Did I taste skin on the first bite of salmon? Then had flourless chocolate cake from a box, as the waitress informed, and creme brulee which had a consistency that had me questioning the ingredients. I am guessing it was made with a % milk in part. Think the cake is Godiva's from grocery. Disappointed. read more

Fine dining cuisine. Excellent service and not so good environment due to brick walls reverberating voices and noise

Hidden away fine dining gem. I regularly take my staff here. The food is crazy amazing and an amazing variety. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive. read more

Bernards is truly a great find. Not only is the menu full of great selections, but they also have daily specials. The different soup options have never disappointed. No one does a better job with seafood. The bar is always packed due to their delicious cocktails and extensive wine selection. I it is definitely worth the wait. You will not find better or more competent service anywhere. It is a real treat and the best thing is Bernard is almost always there making everyone comfortable and satisfied. read more

This has been my favorite restaurant for many years. The atmosphere, the romance, the friendliness of the wait staff and the owner and the delicious food each and every time makes me want to eat here every week. My husband in Heaven and I used to eat here for all our special occasions. Now my new love and I have already been here twice in 2 months. And plan on going back many more times. One note: the only thing I don't like its the house dressing. But the others are great!! The specials are wonderful! My very favorite is the sea bass. read more

food was amazing and service was great! Love the way the restaurant looks and how quickly our orders were taken! Most definitely be coming back again read more

We went here for our anniversary and all I can say is wow. We ordered stuffed mushrooms and the short rib beef wellington app so good. I would definitely recommend the beef Wellington since it was a special that evening. Main dish we ordered was the New York peppercorn steak and the scallops (scallops were one of the specials for the evening) get the scallops is all I can say if you enjoy them. His steak was pretty good as well tho! And we got the tuxedo cake we were stuffed but it was great. It's definitely a slow paced restaurant so be patient and just enjoy the place and relax. If you're in a rush this place isn't for you. I can't wait to go back. As mentioned in other reviews Bernard is present the whole time working so hard and that is definitely a rare site. read more

My favorite go to place in Tyler. Consistently delicious food and very reasonable wine prices!! Service is fantastic as well. I've eaten here for years and never gotten a bad meal. They will also adjust or modify your meal or sides any way you'd like. Bernard is often on site and a superb Host!! read more

Food is absolutely fantastic- atmosphere is a bit stuffy, though. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars for me is the bar area - it's just small and not the best for socializing. read more

Just had dinner there. Was yelping a good restaurant in Tyler and this was 4.5. I gave 5.0 based on service and food. Bread and tapenade was the best I've had. I've had plenty, and this was the best! Bread was excellent also. Next ordered Chilean SeaBass from special. Best Seabass and sauce ever. Can't believe the quality of the food. No desert, as was full. Prices very reasonable. In LA, would be twice this amount. Loved it.... read more

Holy crap is this food amazing. Hands down best food in the area. I've never had a dinner more decadent and in such a refined atmosphere! In a sleepy area of town, this place transports you to another world of exposed brick, candle lit dinners, excellent and VERY personable wait staff, decadent food that will make your taste buds soar, and an experience that will elevate what ever event you're celebrating to the next level. And to top it all off, the Tiramisu, made by our waitress herself, finished off the experience in a way that left you FLOATING out the door on wings your tastebuds sprouted. BUT WAIT THERES MORE. We forgot our left overs as the portions are more than enough! And as we were about to drive off, our waitress came running out to make sure she could catch us with our left overs! Way to go above and beyond! Can't recommend this place enough. read more
