I come to Cafe Bernardo in Midtown often and it's always great. This time I ordered the salmon Caesar salad with extra pickles on the side and it was absolutely perfect. The salmon was cooked perfectly and went so well with the Caesar salad. Everything tasted fresh and balanced. The extra pickles on the side were amazing! Literally my favorite. The service is always great and the staff are very friendly which makes the experience even better. For sure one of my favorite spots! read more

OMG, I meant to write this sooner, but got really busy after we came back from Sacramento! This would be for a mid-January experience! I thought I wrote a review last year but I can't find it, just pics, but I still love this place! Granted, it's not the cheapest place in town, but it fits the vibe for being part of the Fort Sutter Hotel. We experienced several meals here because we were staying at the hotel. We love the staff here - they are all super friendly and helpful, and they've been very accommodating despite how busy they can get for breakfast especially. I'm not sure why someone complained about their food in other reviews, but we've not had anything bad, and in fact, find the food really quite tasty and refreshing! Breakfast/Brunch seems to be the best and tastiest, with a good variety and quite well done. Toast came with a yummy strawberry jam that tastes homemade! Even their English Breakfast tea is good, without tasting like old coffee, like some other places, LOL. We did discover their fruit crisp this year, and double thumbs up & super delicious, like a warm hug! That became our go-to dessert, because our favorite dessert we had last year was gone. They had a chocolate-espresso cake that was amazing and yummy, but alas, we were told it has been taken off their bakery list. We think it ought to be brought back!! By the way, the baked goods are not on a menu, you have to look in the bakery display to see what's available. Thanks to the staff there, especially the last Sunday brunch - one of them took some great pics of our breakfast meet with an old friend, really appreciated that! We'll be back when we come back to Sac! :) read more

We at lunch at the busy Cafe Bernardo inside the Fort Sutter hotel. We were greeted by the bartender as soon as we entered the space and told we could sit anywhere we chose. We were served immediately and given menus. We ordered and our food arrived in a timely manner and as ordered. Hubs ordered a Point Reyes blue cheese burger with caramelized onions and a mixed green salad. It was a 1/2 lb burger and hubs said it was very good. I ordered a Niman Ranch Ham and Gruyere grilled sandwich on sourdough, served with dijonnaise and caramelized onions. This was delish and large. Really could have been shared. The atmosphere in the restaurant was cute modern casual. It felt hip even in the hotel lobby. Overall, this was a good find. I would eat here again. read more

50 minutes for two sandwiches to go. Of course right when I decided to ask for a refund they finally bring it out. And they forgot the two side of eggs. Everything else was soggy. Haven't been to this location in a few years and I'm just reminded of why. read more

Our meals were delicious, prepared well. We had a Niman Ranch burger which was tasty, though quite small, a mushroom salad and a delicious salmon salad. Prices are very reasonable and service was fast and friendly. We ate indoors which had a nice, airy vibe. Outdoor sidewalk dining space was busy, also with a fun, city vibe. We'd return for sure, especially prior to a show at the Sofia! read more

We stopped by Cafe Bernardo after running a morning 5k. My mother and I each got avocado toast, one with egg and one without. My husband got a breakfast burrito. All of us really enjoyed our meals.

I didn't know this location existed but it is a great location. They open at 7am which coincides with the start of surgeries across the street at Sutter. The place is pretty big with various types of seating and a large patio. I had the bacon avocado omelette $16 and a coffee. The food was fresh and tasty. Nothing special but after waking up at 4:30am for patient drop off the food hit the spot. I saw lots of Sutter staff meeting here. If you need a spot for a bite and a place to chill while waiting for a loved one Cafe Bernardo is perfect. read more

I went with my wife and friends last night to enjoy a meal and cocktail before our show at The Sophia. We sat in the bar area of the hotel as it was festive for Christmas. Service was great and attentive. My salmon dish has been amazing the last few times that I have ordered it. I always ask for no salt and it works out perfectly. The quality of the food you get for the price is great. Their main dishes/ big plates are under $30 which I think nowadays is rare. Paragary's restaurants have a reward program so if you dine frequently, it's worth signing up. read more

Weekend brunch date found us looking for somewhere new and fun, specifically somewhere we could enjoy the food and nice weather! My partner recommended this place, and so we headed out. You walk up to the register first to place your order, then grab your number and find a table to your liking. I really enjoyed that freedom and there was hardly no wait. The customer service was very friendly, we explained it was our first time. They recommended some items and answered any questions. I wound up getting a bacon avocado omelet with fresh fruit and an Arnold Palmer. My date has the eggs Benedict with fresh fruit as well. Both of us really enjoyed our meals and our drinks. There was lots of flavor and fresh ingredients! Tip some drinks do come with a free refill; arnold Palmer, but you have to go back to the register to ask for it. We really enjoyed our meals, drinks and time there. Will for sure be back and thank you for a nice brunch experience. read more

Overall? A pretty solid breakfast spot. The ambiance is a standout, the blend of indoor and outdoor seating feels intentional and well designed, perfect for a relaxed start to the day. The menu leans slightly eclectic but stays grounded in the breakfast staples, which we appreciated. Ordering at the counter is a plus as it saves time and keeps things moving. No issues with the service Parking? Street parking mainly, though since it's attached to a hotel, there may be additional options for guests We had: Two Egg Breakfast (3.5/5): Presentation was clean and inviting, but execution was hit or miss. My eggs were slightly overdone with crisped edges, taking away from what could've been a simple, well prepared plate. Toast had a good crunch but lacked depth, no real flavor standout. The fruit preserves were a pleasant surprise and added a bright, fresh note. Bacon was decent, cooked well, though it could've used more of that rich, savory fat to bring it home Single Pancake with a Side of Scrambled Eggs (4.5/5): My daughter's dish, but I snuck a few bites, and it was good. The pancake was light and airy, with just enough sweetness and a nice golden finish. The eggs were soft-scrambled with a creamy, buttery texture that showed a bit more finesse read more

Came here for lunch since it was near Sutter Hospital. Order at the counter and grab your own seat. Self serve water station available for dine in customers. My sister ordered the grilled salmon salad and I ordered Thai noodle salad with a side of fries. Both salads were heavy with the salt. Too salty. Besides the saltiness, the tastes were pretty good. Nice presentation. Service was quick. read more

Showed up with a friend for brunch! It was not very busy inside and we were able to order almost immediately. It was my first time visiting this location, so I was a little surprised that it's fast casual style with a counter to order at instead of a sit-down restaurant like the other location in Sac. Still, the staff member at the counter was friendly and efficient. I ordered the brioche French toast without the toasted coconut topping. It took a little while to come out to me, but was worth the wait! The toast itself was fluffy and flavorful, while the almonds, syrup, and peaches added just enough sweetness to be pleasant. I also really enjoyed that the toast was not too eggy, as I tend to dislike when egg overpowers the flavor of the French toast. read more

I usually go here for breakfast, and this was my first time going for lunch.. very busy and I feel the staff was less attentive than the usual morning staff is, and mornings are very busy too! My order came out after waiting for a while and was still not correct. They compensated that by giving me a cookie. I love cookies there so I was okay with it but would've preferred my burger to come out right initially.. since I'm such a simple eater and didn't ask for anything crazy! I may stick to coming here for breakfast only.. read more

Ordered at the counter. Staff had a hard time giving me my loyalty points but finally figured it out. Order eggs, sausage & potatoes with sourdough toast. And the pancakes. Shared with my husband.

Stopped in here while waiting for an appointment. I ordered a cranberry candied pecan scone and a cup of coffee. The young man at the counter was at best no expression if not bordering on I was annoying him. I took my coffee and found a table. The scone looked great. It turned out to be dry and stale seeming. The coffee was vey good. All said it was a warm dry place to wait. read more

I was welcomed warmly when I stepped in. Such a nice place for a cafe and the menu is fantastic! From sandwiches to salad, soups and hot plates, wines and drinks... I was craving for a specific taste and got the stir fried noodles! I had my chicken cooked well done and everything was yummy! I love the atmosphere, it is cozy even if it is busy! The space was adequate, not crowded. Megan, my server made sure she checked on me! She's wonderful! Check them out when in the area! read more

I absolutely love Cafe Bernardo, it's my go-to breakfast place with my best friend and my boyfriend. We've made a little ritual out of it and it never disappoints! I'm obsessed with their avocado toast, hands down one of the best I've had anywhere, especially with the egg on top. The waffle is so good (crispy outside, fluffy inside), and my boyfriend is fully hooked on their breakfast burrito, it's his ride-or-die order every time. I've also tried the salmon and it was sooo good, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully done. The lounge seating is my favorite part, super chill, cozy, and perfect for a laid-back breakfast vibe. The pizza we were a HUGE fan of! We had the pepperoni and mushroom pizza and it did not dissapoint!! Their fries are good-i've been here several times so wanted to include all the food items i've gotten. Can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for great food and a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely a staple in our rotation! read more

While staying in the hotel, I tried this cafe a couple times. Stay happy every time. The latte is gigantic!! It is not in a cup but a bowl. The kimchi fried rice is epic. Even the Korean gave it a thumbs up. The fruit crisp is innovative. The pear is tender and the bread top is crispy and fresh. The waitress is super friendly with good memory of what you ordered the other day. The sitting is comfortable and people are polite, relaxed and not noisy. read more

Ended up looking for a late night dinner around 8:30. Tried to find a restaurant close to my hotel ended up at Café Bernardo went in placed an order to go for pizza and a salad salad was absolutely amazing with a blue cheese vinaigrette dressing, pepperoni pizza, thin crust really good friendly service was in and out of there in about 20 minutes. read more

Where to begin. I was not a fan of the vibe at all. It's way over priced and I feel they are a bit shady. Charging to add tomato, pickle and lettuce to a sandwich?? One of my biggest pet peeves at restaurants is when they don't tell you there is an up charge. Ok fine you want to charge, then tell me. When I say can I add pickle, say sure but there will be an extra charge and then I can decide if it's worth it. Also $4.50 for a can of Diet Coke? Like what kind of twilight zone is this. It doesn't say canned soda on the menu, (it actually says fountain soda on the receipt) Which also feels shady to me. If I'm paying $5 for a soda I assume it's a fountain soda I can refill. The burger was dry and had no flavor. The turkey sandwich was dry. The mushroom salad was good but it's very unique taste like 7/up with mushrooms in it and I know that sounds odd but it's actually yummy. The ham sandwich was the best thing we had I give it a 8/10. The French fries oddly enough tasted just like McDonald's which we all liked. The carrot cake was ok. Not worth $8 a slice. The peanut butter cookies were good, 7/10 but the cookie part was a bit dry. Nothing comes with sides, Everything cost extra, and the portions are small for the price point. I doubt I will ever go back again. read more

Quieter location of Bernardo's that is more upscale. Still dog friendly which is nice. Same menu. Classic contemporary food, American with some ethnic inspiration like my banh mi which was pretty tasty. Nice bar area seating in the back that's like a lounge. It can get loud but I could hear my friends fine. Good service and good prices. No complaints, I'd come back. read more

My friend and I visited Café Bernardo for a late lunch/early dinner around 3 PM after a nice 5-mile hike on the Consumnes River Trail. This spot was on my friend's bucket list, so we were excited to check it out. Parking & Ambiance: We arrived at a good time and were able to park right in front. Street parking is required, even on Sundays, and costs about $2/hour. The location is on a corner, which might make parking trickier during busier times, but we had no issues. The restaurant wasn't busy--only a few people were dining--so we were seated quickly at a comfortable booth with lumbar pillows, which was a nice touch. Service: The staff was friendly, and we were greeted promptly. I ordered their house-made lemonade and iced water, while my friend ordered the flat iron steak plate. I went with the salad trio (mixed green salad, chopped salad, and mushroom & Jarlsberg salad) and added grilled chicken for protein since gluten-free options were limited. Unfortunately, they don't offer gluten-free pizza crust or burger buns, which was a bit disappointing. We also ordered a side of regular fries with chipotle mayo and ranch to try as an appetizer. However, the fries arrived with our main dishes instead of ahead of time, which was a little surprising given how empty the restaurant was. The wait for food felt longer than expected, but when it arrived, the presentation was beautiful. Food: The food overall was great! My salads were fresh, and the grilled chicken was exceptional--by far the best I've had at any restaurant. It was flavorful and perfectly cooked. My friend enjoyed her flat iron steak, though she noted it would've been better with steak sauce. Unfortunately, the restaurant doesn't carry steak sauce, so the server suggested alternatives like green chili mayo and pesto mayo, which my friend tried and enjoyed. The fries were crisp and paired well with the chipotle mayo and ranch. One downside was the limited gluten-free dessert options--they only had coconut macaroons, which didn't appeal to me, but I appreciated the effort to offer at least one option. Room for Improvement: While the server was sweet and attentive at the beginning, she didn't check on us during the meal. Toward the end, she let us know her manager asked her to clock off at 4 PM, so she brought our check. However, she split the check and asked us to pay while we were still eating, which felt rushed and a bit awkward. Final Thoughts: Overall, Café Bernardo offers fresh and flavorful food in a relaxed atmosphere, especially on a quiet Sunday afternoon. With a few tweaks--like more attentive service during the meal and better gluten-free options--it could easily become a go-to spot. I'd definitely return for the grilled chicken and salads! read more
