When you go to Berns, make sure to do it all (dinner , dessert room , kitchen and wine cellar tour ). It's truly amazing and the food was great

Katelynn Waclawski

Absolutely fantastic! order a steak or seafood ? You get a salad , soup , baked potato , cheese toasts , and veggies with your order! Take a tour of the kitchen/wine cellar and head up to the dessert room !

PureWow

It’s all about decadence at Bern’s, where the menu is brimming with excess-caviar, oysters , foie gras , truffled steak tartare , seven cuts of steak and a 7,000 bottle wine list . Read more

Steve Poland

The best restaurant on earth. Wow. Largest wine selection in world- 100k onsite, 500k off. Dating back to 1830s. Ask for full tour . Aged Steak amazing. Some say best steakhouse in world. I'd agree.

Eater

Baronial chophouses are a cornerstone of America’s restaurant culture, but Bern’s, which opened in 1956, exists in its own west Florida dimension of eccentricity and excellence. Read more

This is the best steak house I ever been to. I love steak and the wine collection over there, in additional, you can not miss out the dessert room on the second floor, a lot of dessert to choose from

Dave

Adam H.

The 100 days steak tastings with wagyu , filet and delmonico is superb paired with your favorite vintage. Save space for the dessert room after dinner .

Tom M

The entire experience from start to finish was amazing. You have to get the wine and kitchen tour . It's a must do. Dessert room is great. 2 pages if dessert...50 of after dinner drinks

Richard Revilla

Mary W.

best restaurant in Florida! Go on the kitchen tour and go to the dessert room . 3+ hr dining experience

John Krogman

Great classic, old school steakhouse . Food is phenomenal. Dessert room upstairs is a must. Make sure to take the short tour of the kitchen and wine cellar . A must stop in Tampa.

Ms Helene

Fish of the day was the snapper cooked to liking. All served with French onion soup , fresh salad , onion rings & baked potato . More than enough food.

Danny Ronsayro

My favorite restaurant in the United States . Always excellent service, and an unbelievably fabulous atmosphere. Tour the largest private wine cellar in the country

Terika Wakefield

Bern's is an icon & experience! A few musts; make reservations , tour the world famous wine cellar , & go to the dessert room ! There is a strict dress code, but your are going to savor every minute!

Meaghan H

Best meal of your life, but its pricey . Biggest private wine collection in the country , and they do an amazing tour of the wine cellar and kitchen if you request it. Visit the dessert room !

Lindsay Guenther

The steak is the best, you HAVE to save room for the desert room though, at the Desert room try the bananas foster ! EVERY THING IS SO GOOD!

Food and Fun Spotters

The best place to spend with your family. It has separate room with a different design.You can get the tour and see their cellar which contains more than 6,800 different selections of wine .

Morten Authen

If you're in the Tampa Bay area, this is a must to put on your todo list! We had a great experience with the food, tour and dessert .

Dillon Altieri

Lived up to the HYPE! Ive heard lots of great things so my girlfriend and i decided to give it a try. Great service and the dishes were cooked to perfection. I give this place 2 thumbs up!

Jairo Rodriguez

Everything, the Filet Mignon was so delicious and perfectly cooked. You have many options to chose if your paladar is hard to convince.

Tammy Gordon

Give your server a budget and let them pick your wine . I ended up discovering this incredible Patricia Green Cellars Pinot Noir .

Raph Sangiovanni

While the steak here is obviously delicious, you MUST order a side of the truffle wild mushrooms . That side dish is the real hero, because it makes everything else taste so much better.

Krisha Marcano

No Jeans, wear a suite men. Get a tour of the Kitchen and celler of over 4000 wines ! Amazing! Try the steak but anything on the menu will be wonderful. Staff is so helpful and great.

Joe

I've been to this restaurant many times over the past 20 years and I am amazed at the level of excellence that they have maintained. If you are in Tampa go and follow your waiters recommendation.

Gregorio B.

Do you like fine dining or want the ultimate experience? Berns is just that and their steaks are the best in Tampa Bay (sorry Charleys).

Caryn Poland

Wow, just wow! Don't pass this place up. The beef carpaccio is to do die for and the dessert room is a must. Feels like a blast from the past!

Sheri Swammy

This is the perfect spot for a celebration or for anyone who appreciates steak done perfectly well . Be sure to save room for their special dessert room !

Natalia Victoria????

Incredible place, really one of a kind. Must visit! Remember to ask your waiter for a kitchen and wine cellar tour ! And food is just amazing.

Ryan Davies

The lobster bisque is amazing, though very rich. I'd suggest having it as part of their soup sample plate. Make sure to ask your waiter about the kitchen tour too.

Valerie Brydges

Amazing food and a lot of food (go hungry) the tour and dessert room is a must see! Amazing!!! Jim was an amazing waiter really made our birthday dinner special !!!

Steve Poland

Get the $10 steak sandwich at bar , it's not on menu but will blow your mind. Truffle mushrooms amazing. Onion rings amazing. Carpaccio amazing. Unreal.

Ashley Ray

Great steak . Amazing experience. Bern's is a Tampa steakhouse staple. Many presidents have dined in there posh, organic restaurant . All of the vegetables come from their own garden !

Bozhena Gaidych

Very good food. Stake is tender and not bloody at all. Sounds like an expensive place, but amount of complimentary food that is included with the order of stake is more than enough to be full.

K Bo

Fantastic dining experience. Good food with a great staff . Make reservations .

Larry C

The Burn's porterhouse was the most juiciest steak I've ever hand. Hands down. Largest wine collection in the US & their own dessert room ! Need I say more?

toty oliva

I loved the experience. The dessert room is unlike anything you have ever experienced and the brownie with ice cream was unreal. Steaks didn't kill me, was expecting more flavour.

Tom Hogan

If you like a particular wine region ask the somm to bring you something interesting from there. They always find something unique and delicious.

Ashley Crick

The steak , the drinks, truffle pomme frites and of course the dessert room !

Sam Menist

Amazing food, desserts , andambience. Everything including the kitchen tour and visit to the wine cellar made this visit to a great Tampa landmark a most memorable evening. 5 stars!

Lisa Massey

Awesome experience 02-12-14.....dinner, dessert and service was outstanding! This was our first visit but definitely want to come back!

Gulfscapes

Bern's is a Gulf Coast legend. Half million bottles of wine , 19 varieties of caviar , steaks that are cut to your requested thickness, a cheese cave , a separate dessert room . Try the Chateaubriand.

Grey S

Always an experience...phenomenal food and wine . Just a shame that nobody dresses for dinner anymore but that's no reflection on the restaurant which is class all the way!

Bianca Parchment

The sautéed jumbo shrimp with baked potato was amazing, the dessert room was so romantic ! I am def. going back again
