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😜)

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 🌸
