Speaking of which, half the bathroom stalls were out of order. Additionally, they have their servers prepare/plate the appetizers, salads, & dessert which is the first I heard with that. And I heard other customer's complaints about the server taking too long with their dishes, so I just fear it hurts their tips not having the kitchen prepare them already. I will say the spinach artichoke dip was really good & my favorite thing we had. However it seemingly was reheated since some parts were way hotter than others. The Shrimp pasta was alright, on the $$ side, & was mediocre. The burger was okay too, they were out of the one I wanted. The Apple bread pudding was a nice way to finish off the meal.

I have never tried the food, so I can't speak for that, but the others I went with have tried it and they liked it. The service is very quick, especially considering how crowded it can be, and they have tap to pay, which is nice. I really like the nautical maps around the restaurant, which are super fun to look at. The game section is also very fun and it's a great place to come and chill with friends. The only reason I am not giving it five stars is that I have had some friends who had a negative experience being denied at the door, despite being of age.

Kudos to the main guy taking our order and bringing it to our table. He was the all around order taker, drink maker and very patient guy. Food: Bar food at its finest, and I say this with all appreciation. The fries are the best we have had in a long time. Perfectly seasoned and fried fresh and a huge basket. Most of our group ordered the generous portions of French dip. We also got the pirogies with house made onion dip. His cocktails were yummy and a nice heavy pour. Ambiance: straight up bar atmosphere complete with a front room dart area. Bathrooms are clean, tables are high tops with lots of seating. Would be nice to have more lighting but hey it's a pub. Crowd looks local and a bit older than the average college demographic. We will definitely be back.

This review will focus on the actual restaurant, where I had lunch with my husband and our friend. It was quiet the day we were there so we got a lot of personal attention. We started with unsweetened iced teas and then since we weren't starved, we ordered some appetizers to share. We had: -deviled eggs (good but the filling was too solid and cold...I like the yellow to be a little creamier and light); -fried cauliflower-the star of the show; it tasted almost like a sweet Korean fried chicken; -Butternut squash salad- also delicious, with nicely roasted butternut squash chunks and a really good dressing; -Pimento cheese dip- excellent dip served with toast. Pimento cheese isn't much of a thing in NYC where I live so I've been trying it every time I see it in Roanoke. We really liked everything we had and the service was so nice. The room itself is gorgeous and feels historic. I'm a fan.

After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I also was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at their Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to return to those special ones, that have made a difference in my life and highlight them, for the benefit of the public, so they too can have an opportunity to appreciate the qualities of a one-of-a-kind fine dining experience. And Bernard's Gastropub & Eatery in Downtown Roanoke, is a perfect example. Bernard's was born out of the love of two culinary aficionados turned professionals that in someway have managed to create a restaurant with an environment that transmits this intimate love to the hearts of their customers through the attention to detail in its extraordinary customer service and amazing culinary masterpieces. Today, I felt like dining at this restaurant, which I admire for its consistency in always far exceeding my high expectations of what a fine-dining restaurant should be all about. Not knowing if they would have a table for me at this late time on a Saturday early evening, I drove in my pearl white Lexus to the nearest private parking lot and gave them a call to inquire as if they could give me a reservation for the next ten minutes. A gentleman, who later I found out was named Matthew, and would be my server, answered the phone with a very polite and welcoming voice; answering my question of what was the special dish of the day and to come on down, that my reservation was assured. As soon as I arrived to the small, very elegant foyer in front of the Host's station, he came out to greet me and instantly recognized who I was. My only request was that he give me a low table because at my age seating at a high table was a bit uncomfortable. He went back to see what he could find and ended setting me up with what I consider one of the best tables of the house, and I was so appreciative of his last minute accommodation. The menu was already setup on my table. He poured water from a special bottle into my water glass and asked if I wanted something else to drink. I asked for a Mocktail and since he also was a bartender, he prepared me one of the best mocktails I've ever had. To dine, I started out with their Mussels Carbonara appetizer, which came in a bacon parmesan cream sauce that was simply amazing, and served with toast points. As my main entrée I had the Dinner Special of the Night, the Seafood Trio. It had a delicious, giant size crab cake in the middle, scallops, and shrimps, with parmesan risotto sautéed heirloom tomato, spinach, and nice size asparagus, with a burre blanc sauce. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the high-quality of their food and magnificent ambiance of the place. Everything was so delicious that only one word could ever describe them: priceless! For dessert I had their very famous Butterscotch Banana Pudding, which the chef makes at the moment ordered. It looked spectacular and tasted amazingly delicious: a culinary work of art. What a great way for the Gran Finale of an extraordinary dining experience!
