A unique culinary experience
Perfectly aged steaks. One of the largest wine collections in the world. An internationally famous dessert room. Wine cellar and kitchen tours available for all guests.
These elements have combined since 1956 to provide our guests with a unique culinary experience. Our prime steaks are cut to order, we serve vegetables that are grown locally on the Bern’s farm when available and sourced from the finest purveyors, and our menu includes 21 choices of caviar. Each visit to Bern’s Steak House takes you on a gastronomic adventure that defines Bern’s not as a meal but as an experience. We invite you to join us and experience Bern’s.
We recommend making reservations well in advance of your visit and we accept reservations only for the current month and the subsequent two months.

The appropriate attire at Bern’s Steak House is business casual to semi-formal. We ask that no t-shirts, tennis shoes, flip-flops, shorts, or torn or faded blue jeans be worn. If any of these items are worn to Bern’s, you may be seated in our lounge area instead of one of the dining rooms.
Jackets and ties are encouraged, but not officially required. It is quite common to see formal wear since we are fortunate to be visited often for special occasion meals.
All Bern’s waiters are highly trained and very competent servers, however if you have a favorite, please make your request for this waiter when you make your reservation by phone. We will note it in your reservation and do our best to seat you at a table in their section. However, we cannot honor all requests due to scheduling and volume in the restaurant.
Only still photos are permitted while dining at Bern’s. Videos are not allowed in the dining rooms or any portion of the tour.
Bern’s can put a candle in the dessert of the person celebrating while in the Harry Waugh Dessert Room. Please make sure to notate the occasion when making your reservation or let your dessert room server know the occasion the evening you dine with us.
We are now offering a new and exclusive retail gift to enhance your special occasions: BERN’S BLACK BOX. This unique wine/spirit related gift box can be presented in the Harry Waugh Dessert Room to be taken home by the recipient (please note, the wine/spirit cannot be consumed at the restaurant, it is intended to be a take-away gift.)
Custom box options are available for presentation seven days a week, but must be ordered with a minimum of 72 hours notice for a more plentiful selection of products (including custom flowers, accessories, a signed Bern’s Book, signed bottles, etc.).
Monday – Friday: There are several prepared concierge curated boxes that are available, as long as the order is in by 3:00PM the night of the reservation, based on availability.
A new way to make your celebration extra memorable!
There is a minimum order requirement of $57.00.
If you would like to make arrangements for a Bern’s Black Box gift, please email our Black Box concierge, Cassandra Abel at [email protected] or please call 813-490-6633 ext. 3 for more details. (The email/voicemail is only monitored Monday – Friday from 9:00AM – 4:00PM for order requests. If you contact us outside of those hours, your inquiry will be responded to the next business day).
