We wanted to take a moment to clear up a little confusion that has made its way around social media. We’ve recently learned there is some speculation online suggesting that Bernard’s has closed its doors for good, and we want to reassure everyone that nothing could be further from the truth.
As we shared earlier this week, our temporary closure came after our sous chef experienced an unexpected medical emergency. We made the decision to remain closed for several days to give him the time he needed to recover and to make sure we could reopen with our team ready to provide the experience our guests deserve.
Over the years, we’ve learned that not every opinion or conversation about us requires a response. We’re much happier focusing our energy on our family, our team, the food we prepare, and the wonderful people who continue to walk through our doors. But when speculation could leave our guests believing Bernard’s is gone, we felt it was important to set the record straight.
Bernard’s Gastropub & Eatery will reopen Tuesday, September 29 at 5 PM. The kitchen will be cooking, the bar will be ready, and we’ll be very much here doing what we love.
Thank you to everyone who has checked on us, wished our sous chef well, and shown our small business kindness this week. We’re incredibly grateful for this community, and we’re looking forward to seeing some familiar faces, and hopefully a few new ones, on Tuesday.
See you at 5. ❤️
