The 12 Best Restaurants in Tampa - Eater Miami
"A trip to Tampa without indulging at Bern’s is like going to the beach without getting sandy: unnatural. Bern’s, while technically a tourist destination given it’s so widely revered, is also sorta not one because it’s just as frequented by the locals. And that’s not only because of the food, which is sourced from the restaurant’s own farm, but also the experience which is unparalleled. After selecting the cut of beef (which, unlike pretty much all other steakhouses, comes with enough sides to feed an army) take a tour of the kitchen, one of the largest wine cellars in the U.S., and don’t skip the dessert room. The second floor “speakeasy” is truly stuck out of time outfitted with private booths from which patrons can sip century-old cognacs and devour the signature macadamia nut sundae all while using the en-suite phone to make song requests for the piano man." - Liz Newman
