My husband and I decided to visit Bernardins after reading reviews and the menu, he was interested in trying the kangaroo. We had a very special reason to celebrate and I wanted the evening to be extra special so I mentioned this in my reservation notes. When we arrived the hostess took us up to a balcony seating area that overlooked the main dining room, it was perfect! We started with the goat cheese tart and duck spring rolls, both were delicious. We ordered one heirloom tomato salad to share and they brought it to us on separate plates, a very nice touch as the portions seemed slightly larger than if we had just eaten off one plate. He ordered the kangaroo and I ordered the lobster ravioli with a Maine lobster tail on top, both were perfect. Our waitress had the special, and rare, ability to make us feel like the only table in the restaurant without coming by too often. The decor is beautiful and I think it's worth asking for the balcony table if you are looking for a romantic dinner setting. Five stars for sure!
