on Judys Book Sep 03, 2009How peculiar that two one star reviews are made on the same day by two 'different' reviewers. These same reviewers found Pomodor, 400 miles away in Ga to be so delightful. Could it be they are the same individual? Does... (more)

on Judys Book Jul 30, 20094 men & 1 woman go to Bern's. None of them order steak that evening. Every one of them leaves raving that it's STILL the best meal they've ever had at any restaurant in their lives. Pricey only in comparison to most of the... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 18, 2009Soup, salad, entree and sides. It's all there. I hate ala carte places. Just put it out there and charge me one price. Go Berns! The food is the BEST I've ever had. The steaks melt in your mouth, the soup richness of the... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 02, 2009It is a sad place to be sitting in, shabby decor, tired and stained red wallpaper, plastic miniature busts that were either purchased at Liberace?s estate sale or reclaimed from Ceasar?s Palace when they renovated... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 21, 2009Highly recommend the delmonico with crab meat. $100 for wife and I and that was without drinks but well worth it. Awesome experience. Will take 3 hours so go early and go hungry.... (more)

on Judys Book Feb 02, 2009This is a Tampa tradition. There are no spicey rubs on these steaks. The variety is almost limitless. The wait staff never changes. Regulars request their favorite waiter. Jackets are not required, but only... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 13, 2007Bern's used to be the best steakhouse in Tampa. But, in recent years, with the addition of so many other good restaurants in Tampa, it has slipped a little. The ambiance is still great and the dessert room is unmatched,... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 14, 2007The atmosphere was nice, I felt the waitor was attentive and did help us pick out a very nice bottle of wine, but I felt the food (Tuna tar tar & scallops) was just ok. I felt for the price they should of melted in my mouth. I... (more)
