What People Are Saying About Bern's Steak House
Featured Review

The Scene – Luminaries from out of town automatically visit Bern's when they arrive in the Tampa Bay area. Limos jam the homely front parking lot and well-dressed diners crowd the foyer. For decades, the steakhouse has maintained its reputation for almost fanatically perfect food and service. – – The Food – Start with one of the 24 varieties of caviar. Move onto vichysoisse, a creamy soup served chilled, accompanied by garlic toast and crackling homemade potato chips. The chateaubriand is delectable. Choose anything from a petite, seven-ouncer all the way to a…
Editor's Tips
- Look Good:
- Wear something chic; it's a formal crowd.
- What to Drink:
- The wine cellars bulge with close to 500,000 bottles, among them: 6,800 table wines and 1,000 dessert wines. Waitstaff can guide you to the perfect accompaniment to your meal.
- Parking:
- Lots are located a hike away, so save your feet and use the valet for $4.

Have tried to write a review of Berns but such was my anger and the sheer annoyance of the arrogance of this establishment or really the lack of ......I couldn't write without expletives even mild ones..the publishers wouldn't allow it..so below is the last paragraph
We decided to leave.....reader..if u want a nice elegant evening out do not... repeat..do not go here..buy your own Target salad bowls..age your own beef..get a nice bottle of wine and stay at home.you will be glad u did..what a waste that was of hard earned money.

Take the kitchen tour & Go to the dessert room
by FiberMonkey at Citysearch
This was an awesome experience. The food is fantastic, but what pushed it over the edge was the kitchen tour, wine cellar tour, and dessert in a private party room upstairs in the dessert room. Ask your waiter for the tours. The only thing that's a little confusing is that the tip is already added in but it's only 12%. I called before I went to ask about the tip. They say you don't have to tip more but I know that's not an adequate tip. It just seems they would add in 15% or 18% but not 12. This is a great place for a special occasion. The outside of the building does not even hint at the fantasy inside the building.
