Reviews for Bern's Steak House in Tampa, FL
100% completely amazed by this dining experience!! For starters it felt like stepping back in time with the decor which for me... made this an even more of an unforgettable experience. Our waiter Tyler was super fabulous, and that French Dressing Holy hearteyes it touches the soul. The wine list is something out of a fairytale! For dinner I indulge in the Wagyu and my lord I can'teven begin to express the joy of my taste buds!!! There was nothing about this dining experience to complain about! Lastly ourvisit to the desert room was undoubtedly the best experience I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. Definitely try theflour less chocolate..... to die for!! Read more
Delicious food and a large selections of wines. The desert room is really unique as well and you should plan this dinner as a... event lasting at least 3 to 4 hours. Make sure you reserve ahead as Berns can be a extremely difficult place to get into to.They have a huge wine room with thousands of wines to choose from. I would highly recommend this place. After inquiring thewaiter informed me they take walk ins for the desert room (only) as long as it?s not a weekend or holiday week. Read more
This review is for the desert room since we were not able to get a reservation for the regular restaurant on a weekday night no... matter how frequently we called. Bern?s is one of those places that had a TON of hype throughout central Florida. It?sold-fashioned in the best way possible with classic food, service and charm. The desert room is located on the second floor inthe back of the restaurant and you used to go there after dinner. Luckily you can do desert separately if you are willing to goright as they open. The little booths you sit in are insanely cool and be prepared to have a very difficult time choosing what sweet treat you want to eat. Service was amazing and prices are high enough to blow your socks off. Unfortunately the desertwas just OK? We sampled 3 different things and the cheese plate and while all of them were good, none were particularlymemorable. Overall the experience was worth it - hopefully we can try the full restaurant experience some day. Read more
Probably the best food in Florida! The amount of food you get for the price is amazing. The service is perfect! A must do for... anyone wanting an elegant, amazing meal! But save room for dessert.. because their desserts are otherworldly. Read more
Dessert Room Review This is our go to spot for the best desserts. I?m all our travels we still haven?t found anywhere that... rivals the dessert room at Burn?s. A great atmosphere that?s moody but also well lit when it needs to be. The booths are smallsecluded areas with their own music that you can select. Great for conversation especially on special occasions. The staff isalways super friendly and attentive. You would expect nothing less at a high end establishment. Now for the best parts?. Thedesserts. They have a wide range of dessert wines and alcoholic and non alcoholic coffee choices. Great if you like a littlebitter with your sweets. The desserts themselves are nothing short of phenomenal. Always sweet but never so rich you can onlyhave a few bites. A few options for alcoholic desserts as well but always done tastefully without going overboard. Thesteakhouse can be a little pricey so if you are looking to only spend around $25 a person consider heading upstairs and justgetting dessert. You won?t be disappointed and it makes for a romantic evening with your significant other. Cheers! Read more
A stalwart in Tampa! It has a lot of history and tradition going for it. Took 3 months to get a reservation. I get it that but... as a first timer it?s very expensive for what you get. I liked their stories incorporated in their menu but I gotta say itseemed better in print than the real experience. Our server Lisa was polite. A Bern?s veteran with 28 years under her belt! Shehowever missed the important nuances of traditional service like pouring out wine as needed. I picked up the slack. Decantingthe wine with the candle was a nice old time touch. They have an amazing/renown wine wine/beverage selection probably unequalledin Tampa. My steak was good but not great. The dessert room upstairs is a unique twist and we had a cozy room for two. Eventhough we had a few minute wait we we arrived upstairs for me it was the highlight of the evening. Not a must try experience butif you want something different then give it a whirl. Read more
Very high end steakhouse with the great vibe and really nice atmosphere! The food was awesome! Got the porterhouse steak which... was cooked perfectly. It comes with the french onion soup (10 out of 10) and the house salad. Macadamia Nut Sundae is definitelyworth a try! Also our waiter Davor was the best, very cool and funny ???? Nothing but good emotions, absolutely recommend thisplace! Read more
My husband and I ate at the restaurant and then did the dessert room afterwards. Both were decent, but don?t think the food is... anything special. It was good, but don?t think it lived up to the expectations set based on other reviews. The ambiance was neatand our server (Eric) was fantastic, but food was standard and didn?t seem like anything exceptional. Everything was good, butnothing stood out and made me want to come back. Glad I tried it, but doubt I?ll be back. Seems like more of a one timeexperience to try it and see the decor/building. Read more
