Named in the honor of the women who shaped us, Bernadette has always been rooted in care and gathering, making Mother’s Day an especially meaningful day for us here 💕

For this FIRST time, we are opening on a Sunday to celebrate the baddies on Mother’s Day, May 10th. The sun hits different here during the day; and we can’t wait to share it with you! A basket of pâtisseries followed by oh so many options. Caviar, oysters, champagne, tequila cosmos…whatever your heart desires! Come celebrate the mamas.

Reservations available on Resy. 11-3. 95pp.

As New Englanders, we love a season change. While everything else gets a refresh, this OG stays.

Our first pour in the space. Fresh, crushable, and easy (because we all need one of those right now😜)

“Should we open a donut shop next?” - Chef

We call this Le Cruller (a fancy donut) with cinnamon and sugar, frozen maple nougat, candied pecans. AND we make a gluten free version too 😉

This evening from the kitchen - Squid à la Provençal

A classic southern French preparation with tender squid, tomato, garlic, olive oil, and herbs. Simple, bright, and exactly the kind of dish that reminds us why Mediterranean cooking never goes out of style 🫒

Poulet Rouge.

A crisp roulade filled with chicken and mushroom mousse, resting over braised kale and salsify with wild mushrooms and jus.

Deep, savory, and exactly the kind of thing you want while winter is still holding on. On the menu until spring arrives 🌸

Mezzaluna, meaning “half moon,” is a delicate, filled pasta. Ours is stuffed with with celery root and ricotta, then finished with brown butter, almond pistou, and a brown butter foam.

✨ Special tonight and through the weekend, for as long as it lasts 🌙

Golden hour. Red lipstick. Girls who hype each other up.

On Thursday, February 12, Chic Streets is hosting their Galentine’s event from 4–6:30pm.

Guests attending will receive private discounts, and the name of a hidden off-menu cocktail waiting for them at Bernadette afterward.

We’re calling her something special behind the scenes. You’ll learn the name at the event 💕

This isn’t your pink, sugary cosmo moment. She’s golden-hued, herbaceous, a little flirty with just enough heat. Bright pineapple and lime layered over a clean white rum backbone, kissed with sage and subtle spice. Structured. Crushable. Confident.

Order the secret drink and you’ll receive a complimentary nibble on us.

And a little heads up:
Friday and Saturday are reservation only, so Thursday is your night to crowd the bar. Martinis, pommes frites, side-eye glances across the marble.

Shop. Sip. Repeat.
