This is my second time going to the restaurant.
My first time I was not able to go to the dessert room. This restaurant does not disappoint their ages stakes are amazing the wait staff is more than awesome.. however the food is just hands down amazing I have had their mac and cheese It's so good I've had their aged Delmonico steak and it does not disappoint, perfectly seasoned and cooked with such delicious flavor. The dessert room is a must,very intimate setting with so many dessert choices, you can't go wrong.

Wanted to go here for my graduation dinner as a present to myself. Called to make reservations exactly 2 months before the date, was told yo call back in 2 days, so I did as soon as they opened and was told they filled up 2 days prior....get it right. Hopefully will be able to try one day.

Fantastic as always. Redone bar area is great. 32 ounce porterhouse couldn't be better - haven't had any better steaks anywhere else including some of the best in NYC. Silverado cab and banana tres leches dessert excellent. Plus the usual super professional staff, great bartenders and vibe.
Be the first to ReplyDeath, taxes, and a consistent meal at Bern's.
At the recommendation of our server I had the center cut Delmonico Steak. It was cooked to perfection. The Bone Marrow was the best I ever had. Froi Gras was very tasty too. We skipped dessert but thoroughly enjoyed a tour of the kitchen and wine room. For cocktails I had the Bern's Old Fashion. Pro tip - order it on the rocks, it seemed to be a better pour. Five star meal and experience. Kudos to Mr. Russo for being such a good host.
Be the first to ReplyCan never go wrong with Berns.
Always fantastic service, food is always on point and they are always consistent with what they serve. Our server last time we went exceeded our expectations. I wish I remembered his name but he had been serving there for over 45 years he said. He really knows how to take care of his customers. My risotto came out cold and he went above and beyond to make it right. He brought me another glass of wine while I waited for the new one to come out. He even walked us over to the dessert room. Can't wait to go back!
Be the first to ReplyThe steaks are really good.
The sides are not all that good. The key here is the meat. The steaks are on par with other steak houses in the Tampa area. What I had was a porter house. It's really good. But not better than Charlie's steakhouse.
Be the first to ReplyAMAZING experience! I've been wanting to go to Bern's for
AMAZING experience! I've been wanting to go to Bern's for years and we finally made it. Everything from the service to the quality and taste of our food was top notch. We did the tour after our meal and saw the kitchen and cellar. It was really neat to learn about their wine collection and how much food goes out of their kitchen on a daily basis. This was an expensive meal but it was totally worth it. Compared to other steakhouses the prices really aren't that bad since sides, salad and soup are included with your entree. This was my first time having a dry aged steak and it was wonderful! If you are looking for a steakhouse, Bern's is THE steakhouse to go to. Just be mindful that you will most likely have to make a reservation several months ahead of time if you want a specific date/time.

Came here just for the dessert service which requires a separate reservation. All the tables are in semi enclosed private booths that include individual controls for music or to listen to the in house piano player. A phone in the booth is available to call for piano requests. Very cool. The dessert and drink menu is extensive and we were all pleased with our deserts. I had the kind midas (carrot cake), very good. We also had the creme brulee, delicious. Definitely make reservations for dinner or dessert. Highly recommend for the food and experience.

Came here for a bachelor party in which we reserved a private room and had to reach a $4k food and drink minimum. Our private servers took excellent care of us and attended to our every needs. We ordered some appetizers and steaks for the table. One of the appetizers we had was the excellent seafood tower. Very fresh and extremely appetizing and refreshing! Some of the cleanest tasting seafood I've had. When the steaks came out, there was a lot left to be desired. I felt that the steaks lacked seasoning and definitely required the accompanying sauces to really taste the elegance of the restaurant. I feel like if you're going to spend that much money for a higher end steak, the flavor of the meat should stand alone. I was disappointed because I had extremely high expectations for the steak but the flavor let me down. We enjoyed the tour of the kitchen and the cellar. You can tell the tour staff was pretty tired of the same script that they have to repeat several times a day and I can't blame them. It's a pretty neat experience seeing a behind the scenes look at an extremely elegant establishment.
Be the first to ReplyThe most incredible experience.
Every person has to come to Bern's Steakhouse and experience it. Everything from service to the food to the dessert is done perfectly.

Had my annual birthday celebration at Bern's and they did a great job all around. We had excellent service from Dylan S. and a warm welcome from maitre' d Frank Russo. The food as always was wonderful and was served promptly and with flair. One Delmonico and three filet mignons were enjoyed by our group of four. We enjoyed the kitchen and wine cellar tour and the dessert bar was as decadent and outstanding as always. The food was great but the service is what made the night extra special. Thank You Frank and Dylan.
Be the first to ReplyIt took us six weeks to get a reservation at Berns
It took us six weeks to get a reservation at Berns Steakhouse. The service was terrible. It took our waiter thirty minutes to uncork our wine bottle. It was after we complained to the manager that he finally opened our bottle. The wedge salad was a quarter of the lettuce with very little dressing. The baked potato was dry and burnt. The steak was delicious. Our experience at Berns was definitely not worth the six week wait. The ambience was not what we expected. Dissatisfied and Disappointed
Be the first to ReplyWhat's the catch? Old, dingy interior, Waaaaaay
What's the catch? Old, dingy interior, Waaaaaay overpriced steaks with SERIOUSLY average flavor. My delmonico was a below "Choice" grade cut of meat. It was cooked as ordered, but I've had better tasting steak at Outback, not joking. I found myself taking bites of the over-salted onion strips with my steak to give it flavor. A steakhouse should stand on its steak quality, not an overabundance of buffet-quality sides as filler saying, "Well, it's invluded". A dry baked potato, green beans, onion strips, and an albeit tasty French onion soup couldn't cover for the chewy steak. I'm not impressed by a wine list that is 4000 pages thick with $4000 bottles and sits like a copy of the Bible on the table. It's almost that they leave this there to remind you that you're in a fancy place. Get it out of there after meals are ordered. Servers are well trained, but it is as you would expect, nothing more. Certainly not worth the price you pay. Not that they can pick the clientele, but low-class guests next to us using cellphones on SPEAKER during dinner?!?!? Seriously, have a sense of decorum and maintain the atmosphere for all guests. I guess we've paid the "Bern's Tax" to say we've been there. It was a $400 lesson for me and my wife. Seriously, forget the hype and go elsewhere.

We've lived in Tampa for 5 years now and finally made it to Berns. The historic charm is part of the experience. The moody entrance is impactful but the individual dining rooms were a bit boring and too lighted for my liking. Some dim lighting and candles would be a lovely touch. They are renovating this summer and...we'll, its time :) The service was great, these people are true professionals! Our server did not crumb the table like you expect from a white table cloth dining room. The wine selection is impressive. Every steak entree comes with onion rings, green beans, loaded baked potato, French onion soup AND salad. It was a TON of meh food that is just filler, more buffet quality. Not quality sides like you would expect from a high end steakhouse. I ordered the Filet and my husband had the Delmonico. The cut was good and it was cooked to perfection, which is the expectation at a restaurant of this caliber, but it was incredibly bland. It was under seasoned (not sure it was even seasoned at all) so I was taking bites of my onion rings (which are more like rubbery onion straws) with my steak to enhance the flavor. Our apps were the Stone Crab claws and oysters. The oysters were small and the claws seemed previously frozen. Still delicious but not fresh like you would expect in Florida, in Stone Crab season. Our bill was $350 and we only had two cocktails. Then the dessert room. The ambiance is worth the hype and it's a unique experience unto itself. After our dinner experience we opted not to spend another $40 for two desserts and ordered some dessert cocktails - espresso martini and an old fashion. Our server seemed annoyed that we only ordered drinks. Or maybe she was just tired because it was close to midnight by the time we wrapped up our 9pm dinner reservation ( the only time avail). So we cashed out our $40 dessert room tab and called it a night. All in, it was a $400 average dinner. If you've never been to a steakhouse before, you'll be impressed. If your palate has tried other high end steakhouses, you will be disappointed with the steaks. They are far from exceptional. Would not shy away from ordering something other than steak here. I appreciate this place for what it is: a Tampa tradition. We've checked the box but it was a one and done for us. If you're looking for a unique experience and you're willing to pay alot of $$ for it, this is your place. If you're looking for an exceptional STEAK, go elsewhere. Sadly this is now just an overpriced tourist trap, and their online booking system has created a false demand. And for the love of God, PLEASE don't be an idiot and pay hundreds of dollars for a reservation. (We certainly did not).
Be the first to ReplyGreat restaurant and a must for Tampa dining.
The location is not great and you have to valet or get an Uber since parking is a bit complicated. Really old building with an old vibe and kind of tacky with decor but the food is amazing. Food:French Onion Soup Au Gratin - Ok presentation, amazing taste and portion. Get it NOW!House Salad with Macadamia Vanilla Bean Dressing - Presentation needs love, the ingredients are fresh and delicious. Try it NOW!30oz Dry-Aged Porterhouse - Ok presentation, the steak is absolutely delicious. It arrives in perfect temperature and exactly how you ask to be prepared. (Medium Rare - off course lol) The steak arrives with a side of bake potato, green beans and onion rings thin sliced. The green beans are blah and onion rings need less batter but they are included with your main. Flavor Cafe con Leche Salted Caramel - Delicious and complements your desert at the iconic dessert room. Macadamia Nut Sundae - Great presentation, this is a must for Berns desserts. Took a million years to make it perfect and trust me they really got it. No words just get it NOW! Serivce:Staff has been working at this restaurant for many years and it take 3 years for a server to make it to your table to serve you. Great service with fast and efficient food delivery. It feels like they want you to come back. Ambience:It's an old place with lots of old vibes and smells. Their decor is tacky and feels like an old castle but who cares the food is absolutely amazing. If you are lucky to get a reservation then get ready to enjoy a truly good restaurant. The price is fair and food is good which is always a perfect combo to come back.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing food and atmosphere.
Will be bringing the family back here to check it out. Check out the dessert restaurant.
Be the first to ReplyI really enjoyed the steak, environment, and old fashions.
It's nice it has stayed a popular spot throughout the years. Check the dessert room and wine cellar.
Be the first to ReplyThe food was absolutely amazing and so was the service.
The waiter came up and greeted our table promptly and got our drink orders in. Once we ordered our steaks, the soup and salad came out then the main course. We finished the night in the dessert room - perfect ambience to end the night and Valentine's Day!
Be the first to ReplyA wonderful establishment with a long history of fine
A wonderful establishment with a long history of fine dining in Tampa. We were lucky to get in after a long wait on the list. Before you go make sure you realize you are paying to eat at an institution in Tampa; don't freak out at sticker shock and avoid fine dining if you're not willing to pay for it.The crab... absolutely perfect! The spinach escargot was good but the spinach was overpowering. Still a delicious dish, just not well suited to my palate. The Delmonico was cooked to perfection, French onion soup was delightful, baked potato was watery, salad was... just a salad. Overall, as good as the food was my hair wasn't blown back. When compared to another five-star in Tampa, I'd rather stick to the more modern, open, and engaging atmosphere of the other restaurant. Definitely a must try. Just because my preference is another restaurant doesn't mean it this one won't knock your socks off.
Be the first to ReplyI have been to Bern's many times, dating back to the 1970's.
Not much has changed except it has turned Into a tourist trap. The decor is as old as the restaurant. Some may like that. I knew Bern Laxer personally and he was a creative guy that loved wine and sharing it with his patrons at a great value. Boy, has that changed. You can still find some good value wines on the list, but Buyer Beware. We had a party of 6. We ordered 2 nice older vintage wines at fair prices. Someone in our party requested Caymus (not Special Selection). I ordered it without looking at the list. We received a current 2020 vintage. When the bill came I had sticker shock with the $250 price. I have never seen it on a restaurant wine list over $200. I thought surely this was a mistake, especially at a restaurant that had a reputation for value wine pricing. The manager came over and schooled me on restaurant wine markups in a condescending way. He point out that it is the price on the list. Granted, my bad for not checking the list. Bern's, Your Bad for price gouging. I hate writing off this restaurant, but I do not like getting ripped off. It is not the money. It is the principle. I won't go back.
Be the first to ReplyIf you keep looking you will always find better.
Peter Lugers move over!! Sorry Peter! I have loved you a long time, but you don't even come close to Berns Steakhouse in Tampa Bay Fl. I happened to Stumble in on a fluke never hearing of it before while in Tampa to pick up a car I had found on line ! We Started with the 'house' Bourbon Old Fashion. (The simple syrup they use is a house secret, I couldn't bribe anyone to reveal, AND I TRIED) ) By the time I ordered the second I knew I found the end of the rainbow! We salivated with the most amazing Tartare, just a light appetizer while drinking, and waiting for our table. It was amazing, seasoned with capers and spices. It didn't come close to perfection. It past it by light years! , then we started to eat. Needless to say I had a Kobe steak I will admit it's pricey, but there is no place you will experience what this should taste like or your money can buy better than Berns!, I could go on for pages to tell you about the crรจme brรปlรฉe, which was amazing, and the appetizers that we had along the way as we finished the third old fashion concluding with a 40 year old tawny port. This was an epicurean delight if you have to save for a year and happen to be in Tampa Bay Florida or maybe just be able to afford it, It is the best I have ever eaten or experienced in at least four continents where I have had this, Including Japan! Please don't think me a snob. It was quite pricy, and sadly have to admit, not something I can afford to do as much as I would like. However I know somewhere down the roadI WILL DO THIS AGAIN, THERE !If I find myself within 100 miles of Tampa Bay Florida.
Be the first to ReplyBern's does disappoint! I will say that it was a Sunday
Bern's does disappoint! I will say that it was a Sunday evening (5:45pm reservation) and maybe the staff was tired but from a first experience - I wouldn't recommend it and don't know if I would go back. No one at this establishment seems happy or seems to like working there - from the parking lot staff, to hosts to watiers. No one had smiles or happy they worked there. Just keep the food and people moving -- like it was assemble line -- but make sure you have a coat and tie on which I didn't but dressed nicely as requested. It was one of the worst steaks I had in years and I dine at top steaks houses around country (and have been to most all of the Top 10 Steakhouses in Country) - regulary dine at top steak chains of Fleming, Ruth Chris, Del Frisco, Capital Grill, Ringside etc - usually one of them once a month. I had a Strip and my wife had a Filet. Both were not tender and favor was isn't anything special. I am usual buyer from Omaha and Kansas City steak companies via shipping and the are 100% better --They make a big deal out of dessert room upstairs -- nothing special there in my opinion for the price and time to wait for another table -- I was not upset at pricing and seemed good value but the food wasn't. Mac and Cheese was horrible (highly recommend from the waiter) -- I had better mac and cheese from Wawa.It was highly recommended by wife's uncle who was in sales and came to Tampa at least twice a year for years. He is a true Texan (born and lived his whole life) so said it was the best steaks he ever had but hadn't been there in 20 plus years. Sad if this place is going way of other places of its times... I will say I was impressed with number packed (as I waited 25 mins to get my Caddy back after paying $8 which seemed strange to me when most places I go it is comped) and keep coming on a Sunday night -- maybe my experience as off night -- or the Tampa market just doesn't have much competition... or just been there so you go...
Be the first to ReplyFood was good, however service was very sub par.
My husband and I went there on our honeymoon to celebrate getting married and we're very disappointed in the experience. We were originally planning to go to the dessert room after dinner, but were so turned off by the experience that we decided to just leave. It took an hour to even get soups, server was often nowhere to be found and the table that arrived 20 minutes after us, but was served by the same server was cleared and finished significantly before us. A huge let down overall.
Be the first to ReplyI wasn't overrall impressed with the Steak, I thought it
I wasn't overrall impressed with the Steak, I thought it was good, but not great, figured it would make it to the top 10 steak houses I have been to, otherwise service and ambiance great, and desert room is pretty awesome
Be the first to ReplyBerns is the quintessential Tampa steak house.
I came here with family for a birthday and it was amazing. I ordered steak and it was one of the best I've ever had. The service is impeccable and the ambiance is elevated and reserved. The food is great but always leave room for dessert because the dessert room is an experience. I can't wait to go back!
