Cafe Bernard 200 Midland Avenue French Bistro Bakery Café, Basalt, CO 81621

"First time visiting Café Bernard and I was fascinated. I ordered a tuna sandwich which was delicious. All the flavors feel like home, it’s a place I would definitely visit again. The place and the atmosphere are very warm. If you want a good breakfast don't hesitate to visit it will be worth it."

"Unfortunately, this restaurant was pretty hit or miss. We had some dishes that were very good, but some that really were not… we had the curry scallop and some bites were extremely salty- they clearly didn’t take the time to mix the food well. We also had the cacio e Pepe and it was just buttered noodles with Parmesan on top- no flavor, extremely underwhelming. We had just a couple bites of it and sent it back, but they would only give us 50% off, saying we didn’t send it back immediately. We didn’t even ask to return the curry scallop since we at a good amount of it, but the waitress was very unhelpful and the management just didn’t care that we had a bad experience. Honestly, wouldn’t even be writing this review if I had felt like they cared about their customer experience, but it was made clear to us that they don’t. If you are coming here, the ratatouille was very good and the seafood linguine was fine."

"The food is just fantastic and beautifully presented. The pork chop with mole sauce was outstanding. Portions are generous, wine list is nice. Hidden gem!"

"I absolutely loved Café Bernard growing up when it was still owned by Bernard and I still love it now. I was a little worried at first the new management would make changes, and they have, but I think it has all been for the better. The spirit and character of the restaurant have remained (even their no cell phone use policy). I would particularly recommend any of the baked goods and pastries. They are all spectacular. I also really enjoy the smoke trout hash and the steak and eggs. For those complaining about the speed of the service, I would like to remind them that this is a tiny family owned restaurant and often only has one waitress and one chef on staff. All food is made to order, so if a bunch of people walk in at once, it’s gonna take a minute. This is a small town Café not McDonald’s be patient and respectful. Part of the reason this place is good is because of the ambience, sit back and enjoy it."

"I ordered the French toast made with the home made baguette. I received a hamburger bun cut in half. I have no problem ordering something else if a restaurant rums out of something but to serve me a hamburger bun dipped in egg was just ridiculous. Service was also terrible, my girlfriend had to get up and ask for another mimosa after our server took the order and brought drinks to the table next to us and never looked over. We were both servers and were trying to not be rude but there was 0 service being provided."
