Bern's is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. The steaks are well aged, you can get any cut (type,thickness, etc.) you desire, my steaks have always been cooked perfectly, and the sides are very good.

The service is usually very good (I've had a few occasions where it has just been "OK", but usually it is way above average). The waitstaff has to serve an apprenticeship on their organic farm and in the kitchen before they can work on the floor.

The wine list is the best I have seen anywhere.

I have never tried their desserts, as usually I am too stuffed to enjoy.

That being said, I have enver taken a trip to Tampa just to eat at Bern's. We usually end up there if we have busiess in Tampa.
