I've been going to Bern's Steakhouse in Tampa since 1984. On that first visit I was the guest of friend and gracious host who walked me and my "good buddies" through the experience of fine dining. The service, food, wine and desert were amazing. I've been going to Bern's at least one a year since that first visit. Going to... more

This is not my first time at Bern's and consider it to be a classic steak house. Keeping things simple this is a summary of my latest experience at Bern's: 1. Food - excellent 2. Wine selection- superb 3. Service- the best 4. Dessert- decadent 5. Dress code - not enforced This last item (dress code) is unfortunate. We were... more

The first time we went we were so excited, hubby's boss had invited us to go. The food was just so-so, the atmosphere needs updating, but the service was good. We all had steaks (what else would one order here?) and they were overcooked and not so tastey. It's difficult to ruin a good vut of meat but we both... more

I tried this place for the first time at its wonderful! Order a steak for 2 or more and the pcie includes soup, salad, and 3 prefixed sides. It only cost a littel more than Long Horn or Outback and is far beyond either of them. more

They are well known for their steaks yes...but as the waiter to tour the kitchen and the wine cellar....over 100,000 bottles...its amazing. more

A group of four,we picked Bern's to celebrate a big birthday. The on-line menu looked so good and its reputation is ubelievable. Also,it is not ala carte,which is a big plus when splurging on dinner. Let me first say that the night was a complete sucess,however it was NOT in any way what we had expected, It really is kind... more

I've been going to Bern's for about 10 years whenever I am in Tampa. I visited over Labor Day weekend after not having been there for about 3 years. A few things have changed, but overall, it's still an experience that's worth every penny! Valet parking is now $5 + gratuity. I seem to remember this being complimentary once upon... more

Since my first experience at Bern's many years ago, I never really understood why it got such high reviews: the food is just OK, so I figured the rave was more about the service and experience, which was warranted on my first two visits. Having opted for tried-and-true places over the years, I decided to give Bern's another go for... more

We had a late reservation and were seated in the red dining room downstairs. Hostess was pleasant. Our waiter arrived in a timely fashion, served us cocktails. He was fine. The wine steward ignored our criteria for an Amarone (we wanted Old World Style-big and earthy and dirty) and brought us a delicate, elegant Amarone, wich was a nice wine... more
