Bern's Steak House

“Absolutely stunning restaurant in Tampa. service was off the charts Next Level the atmosphere was beautiful and the food was incredible I had the 100-day dry aged Delmonico. The cocktails were insane. Allison was the best waitress I've had in years. Absolutely speechless.”

“It's more than just dinner, it’s an experience. The food was excellent across the board, especially the lobster, French onion soup, and the steaks, all cooked and presented perfectly. What really sets it apart is everything beyond the meal. They offer tours of the kitchen and wine cellar, and you get a behind-the-scenes look at how everything operates, which adds a lot to the experience. The dessert room is a highlight on its own, huge selection, all worth it, and everything we tried was delicious. Reservations are typically needed months in advance since it’s always packed, but it’s absolutely worth planning ahead for.”

“Bern’s Steak House: An Absolute Masterclass in Dining If you are looking for a meal that feels like a world-class event, Bern’s Steak House is the only answer. We booked our reservation three months in advance, and after finally experiencing it, I can tell you it is worth every second of the wait. The Food: Perfection and Surprising Value The star of the show is undeniably the food. My Delmonico and the Filet Mignon were both cooked to a flawless medium—exactly as requested. While Bern’s is a high-end establishment, the value is actually outstanding. Unlike most premium steakhouses where every single item is a la carte, Bern’s includes delicious sides (like those iconic onion strings and green beans) and a salad with the meal. The Service: John C. is a Legend A huge shoutout to our waiter, John C. He was professional, incredibly personable, and just overall "cool." Honestly, if he wasn't on the clock, I would have invited him to pull up a chair and join us. He made the experience feel personal rather than transactional. The Dessert Room: A Separate World After dinner, we skipped the kitchen and wine cellar tour to head straight for the Harry Waugh Dessert Room. Pro tip: Make sure you have a reservation for this part too. It’s located upstairs and feels like an entirely different, intimate restaurant. Watching the staff prepare the Baked Alaska tableside with a literal torch was the perfect theatrical end to the night. The Highlights: Best Value High-End Steak: Full meals (sides included) at a price point that beats the "a la carte" competition. The Atmosphere: It’s not just dinner; it’s an immersive event. The Drinks: The Espresso Martini (pro tip: add Baileys) and the Cappuccino Martini were top-tier. Bottom Line: Bern's lives up to the hype. Between the perfectly cooked steaks and the unique dessert room experience, it is a Tampa staple for a reason.”

“We had a very good meal. My wife and I shared a 30 ounce porterhouse which was cooked to perfection, my daughter ordered the roasted lobster which she said was very good. With every entrée, you receive French onion soup and a Caesar salad that is made table side, which was delicious. I recommend definitely going into the dessert room afterward. Bon appétit.”
