After hearing so much about this restaurant, I must say that I was disappointed to say the least. I had a 8oz filet, medium warm. The server suggested to butterfly the filet so that it was not dry, w/butter. The filet was overcooked, tough, dry, and well done along the sides. You do not get a choice of sides, but for an UPCHARGE you can order a ...

Probably the best steak I've ever eaten. I had the 8oz fillet, rare with a warm center. It was like butter. Our waiter was top notch, easy to question and very full of suggestions and information. The french onion soup was also the best I've ever had. The tour of the kitchens and the wine cellar were interesting, especially the ...

I have to admit I was disappointed with my recent visit to Bern’s Steak House. Having been in business for over thirty years my wife and I have eaten in a number of fine dining establishments. Not only in the Tampa Bay area but also in various locations throughout the United States.
Because my son and his wife were here for a visit I thought ...
I've dined at Bern's approximately 20 times in the last 3 years, and have yet to experience a "dry or overcooked tasteless steak". I would love to visit some of the places that these people are suggesting are so much better. In my opinion, It's ultimately the food that sticks in my mind as to why I return to a restaurant, not ...

Me, my wife and four friends went to Bern's this weekend. It was the first time for my wife and I. We rank it as the best restaurant we have been to - by far. And we have been to many restaurants both in and out of the US. The steaks were outstanding, service was excellent, atmosphere unlike any other. The dessert room is a must, esp. the ...

My absolute most favorite restaurant in the world! I've been to Bern's many times. Fantastic meals, amazing desserts, in what I consider an elegant but charming (rather than overbearing) atmosphere. The wait staff is top notch! You will find none better. And their steaks are out of this world! There's a reason why heads-of-state, ...

My wife and I went to Bern's shortly after we arrived in Tampa. We had heard that the restaurant had a very nice menu, and that the service was excellent.
The service, was indeed excellent, but the ambience was a bit like eating in an old reconstructed row-house. And for the price you paid for the food, the food really didn't stand out ...

I have been looking forward to going to Bern's for quite sometime now. It was not all that! We went to Bern's to celebrate our new business venture this Saturday. Our reservation was at 9:30 and weren't sat until 10:15. The lobby was packed so I thought we would be in for a huge treat and I was wrong. I wanted to try as many things on ...
