Bernard'O Restaurant
Address: 12457 Rancho Bernardo Road, San Diego, CA 92128
Unassuming elegance is paired by striking attention to detail at Bernard’O Restaurant, in Rancho Bernardo. The main dining room provides a cosmopolitan space lit with the glow of an Italian-tile fireplace. The patio that affords views of glistening stars most nights also has a fireplace to keep diners comfortable. The menu is a toast to fine French fare, and Chef Patrick Ponsaty plates dishes complex in flavor and refreshingly direct in vision. The Californian Bouillabaisse is an ode to the sea with seabass, scallops, shrimp, mussels, clams, and potatoes, in a Rouille lobster sauce.
