Bernie's Supper Club & Cinema

Top notch spot! My boyfriend and I frequent Bernie’s because of their inclusive menu that accommodates my gluten + dairy allergy, but also, because of their friendly staff and overall ambiance. Tonight was an exception however, as we chose to order a dessert for takeout rather than dine-in. We were pleasantly surprised when we were given our dessert (within less than 10 minutes of ordering, I’ll add) on the house - courtesy of one of the managers, Logan! My boyfriend and I both work in the industry and understand how tough the slow season can be for both the business owners and their service staff; so, a gesture as kind as this holds even more weight than usual. BIG thank you to your lovely manager, Logan! And we will be back soon!

Movie was great but dinner was inconsistent for the price. We were there on a Tuesday night. Cons: we were the only patrons when we arrived, yet were seated right next to the front door on a rainy evening with nothing much to see out the window. I wish I'd spoken up to be moved to a seat with more ambience. I walked through the restaurant and it looked nice, but we couldn't see much of it. We were constantly disturbed by the stream of people arriving for the movie. Appetizer prawns were nicely flavored but so overcooked they were chewy and tough. Hamburger was very tasty, but they don't have gluten free buns and the lettuce wrap consisted of one piece of romaine lettuce on either side of the burger, making it impossible to eat without messy hands. Cauliflower steak was interesting, but under seasoned. Waited a very long time between appetizers and mains considering we had noted we had limited time when we arrived and the restaurant was super quiet (we had pre-purchased movie tickets and asked whether we should be reserving a seat upstairs and were told that seats were saved for us. By the time we got upstairs we had limited choice with an oblique view) Pros: the Caesar salad was very good. Interesting twist on a classic with roasted Brussels sprouts as crunch in lieu of croutons. The pesto fries were very good according to my date. The movie theatre area is comfortable and intimate and the table service is great. Will definitely be back for movies, but will likely skip the restaurant. Suggestion: If people reserve for dinner in the restaurant and purchase tickets for the movie, actually reserve them seats in the theatre area instead of leaving them whatever seats are left once they finish their meal and all the rest of the movie goers have arrived.
