Harry Waugh Dessert Room At Bern's Steak House

Roman was our waiter and was absolutely amazing. Best meal of my life, especially the gluten free French onion soup. Went to the dessert room afterwards, got to sit in the piano room, and the macadamia nut ice cream is a must 🔥🔥🔥

So I am late with leaving my review we went in September. It was not what I was expecting. They were booked out 3 months for an early evening time. I made the reservation around June and we did not go until September. We waited about 10 to 15 minutes to be seated. Much to my surprise it was rather bright in the dining room, not what I was expecting. The tables were small and close together. It was not very romantic. The food and drinks were good. I had the Bern’s Old Fashioned and my husband had the Pineapple Slap. We both enjoyed our drinks, well made. I ordered the Lump Crab Cake for my meal and added the Creamed Spinach. The crab cake was very meaty and well seasoned. The spinach was delicious but it did have bacon and it was not listed on the menu. I ate it but I had to pick out the bacon as I do not eat red meat. My husband had the 8 oz Filet Mignon which comes with French Onion Soup, a side salad, baked potato, onion rings and the vegetable of the evening which was fine green beans. He said the steak cooked was to perfection and it was well seasoned. He really loved the soup. We did the entire experience which included the wine tour and the dessert room. I tried an after dinner cocktail in the dessert room, the Just One S’More it was tasty. I also tried the Crispy Pear Cobbler which was amazing. My husband tried the Peanut Butter Truffle he enjoyed it but liked the Crispy Pear Cobbler better. Overall it was a good experience, I expected more being that we had to wait so long. I would not return for just a date but for other occasions.

I made reservations for wife's birthday and we were impressed. Ashley was our server and the first female Captain at Berns. She was very attentive, friendly and her recommendations were accurate. My wife had the lobster, salad, green beans and I had the Donovan Ribeye, loaded baked potato, salad, and onion soup. Everything was delicious and prepared to perfection. We also took a tour of the kitchen and wine cellar and went upstairs to have the best desserts in Tampa. I had the pumpkin bread pudding with ginger ice cream and a cookie and my wife had the banana pie with freshly sliced bananas. This is our new favorite restaurant. Thank you for a great experience.

It took my husband years to convince me to make a reservation. I am thankful I finally conceded. The experience at Berns was incredible! The staff truly takes their level of service and knowledge of their products to another level! The food is beyond! The attention to detail and freshness is apparent. Highly recommend dinner, drinks, the tour and the dessert room experience!

Such a unique dining experience! You are first welcomed with a drink while you wait to be seated. Appetizers come first followed by the entrees. Each steak comes with a soup, salad, onion rings, vegetable of the day, and a baked potato. The meal is spaced out well so you don’t feel too full throughout the courses. The food was delicious!! After dinner you are given a tour of the kitchen and the wine cellar. Very special experience. Finally for dessert, you are taken to a dessert room and sit in a private table. The dessert options are seemingly endless. I loved the dining experience and the food was fantastic !!
