A passionate journey of culinary art and warm sophistication.
This is the second culinary venture by husband-and-wife team Aaron and Shanna Chambers, who bring their passion for connection, exceptional food, and community to every aspect of Bernadette. The interior of the space, a blend of bold femininity and quiet luxury, pays tribute to the women who have shaped this journey for them. From natural oak woods to plush velvet seating and hand-crafted brass lighting, every detail creates an ambiance that is elegant, yet approachable.
