“Dining at Bern’s Steak House in Tampa, Florida, is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment one steps inside, the atmosphere conveys an air of elegance, history, and reverence for fine dining. My recent experience there was phenomenal, an evening that highlighted not only exceptional culinary craft but also flawless service and a unique dedication to the art of hospitality. The food itself was spectacular, with every dish prepared to perfection. Bern’s is renowned for its steaks, and rightly so—the cuts are masterfully aged, seasoned, and cooked to bring out flavors that linger with every bite. Beyond the main courses, the accompaniments and attention to detail in presentation underscored the restaurant’s reputation as one of the finest steakhouses in the country. Service at Bern’s is impeccable. The staff operates with precision, professionalism, and warmth, creating a seamless dining experience. Every course is delivered with expertise, and each recommendation reflects an intimate knowledge of the menu and an understanding of the guest’s desires. One of the highlights of the evening was the private dessert room, an experience that elevates the concept of dining into a true event. Tucked away from the main dining area, the dessert room creates an intimate and memorable conclusion to the meal. The dessert selection is vast, ranging from decadent pastries to exquisite ice creams, each paired perfectly with Bern’s legendary wine list. The attention to ambiance in this space makes it as much an indulgence for the senses as the desserts themselves. Overall, Bern’s Steak House embodies excellence in every respect. The combination of phenomenal food, impeccable service, and the unforgettable private dessert room experience sets it apart as more than just a restaurant—it is a culinary destination. For those seeking a dining experience that is both timeless and transcendent, Bern’s remains unmatched in Tampa and beyond.“

“This place was so delicious, we came in twice in one week. So impressed with the quality of food and the ambiance. I have been a fan of Bern's Steak House since 2015, however, we have never eaten at their sister restaurant. Last week was our 1st time visiting Haven. It was our son's birthday and we decided to try this restaurant featuring New American small plates, wine & cocktails as per recommendation of my friend. Tuna Sashimi, Hamachi Sashimi, Shaved Beef Taco, Seared Foie Gras, Cheese platter and Coal Grilled Octopus as appetizers were all 10/10. As for the main course we opted in for Glacier 51 Sea Bass (O.M.G.), Arctic Char, 8oz Filet Mignon (perfectly trimmed) and 10 oz Dry-Aged Strip. Drinks, 'Margarita', 'Lemon Drop' and 'Moscow Mule', were good as well with the exception of the 'Duck Duck Jeep' (it was an odd one). We did not try their desserts (both times) as 1st time visiting we brought a cake for our son's birthday, however, we were never super impressed with Berns' dessert room. I know it may sound weird to many as they are known for their desserts, but truthfully, we have had desserts at other local restaurants that we prefer over Berns'. Service by Madeline K. was on point, however, she accidentally forgot to place the main course item for our birthday boy, so he ended up getting his filet about 15 minutes after everyone else received their meals. It did not spoil our night as she brought out the cake with large candle with sparkles and it was fantastic! Our son was so surprised and I was able to capture some awesome pictures of him with his cake and candles. Overall an excellent experience by everyone: valet guy, bussers, food runners, hostesses and the wait staff. We also appreciated the fact that we were seated at a larger table/couch with brighter lights vs more of a romantic, darker tables. Our second time we requested to sit outside which was nice as it was a pleasant evening. Haven's tacos are my husband's favorite in Tampa and we ordered 16 of them that night. If you are not up to dressing up in your best outfits, but would like a nice quality meal, Haven is your spot!“

“I can’t believe it’s been over 3 years since Noble Rice opened and this was our very first visit! It absolutely blew us away. The service was impeccable. Hostess Angel greeted us warmly, and our server Allison A. was simply outstanding ~ easily one of the best experiences we’ve had anywhere in Tampa. We started with drinks, and every single one was perfect. The Lychee Martini was smooth and floral, the Espresso Martini had just the right kick, and the Haku ~ their version of a Moscow Mule ~ was phenomenal. My husband is a self-proclaimed Moscow Mule connoisseur, and he gave it high praise. The food? Next-level. The Tuna Carpaccio was the star of the show ~ literally melted in our mouths. We also loved the Classic Poké, Tempura Poké Rolls, and the Tekka Roll ~ all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented with different types of soy causes for each. The only item that didn’t quite hit the mark for us was the Hanabi Maki ~ still very fresh, just not our personal favorite. I’m sure many others enjoy it! What really stood out was the service ~ something that has unfortunately been on the decline across Tampa in recent years. But at Noble Rice, everyone went above and beyond. Allison didn’t just take our order, she asked thoughtful questions about our taste preferences, made drink and dessert recommendations (the Panna Cotta dessert was heavenly), and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Our only wish? Larger portions ~ because everything was so good, we didn’t want it to end. An amazing 18th anniversary dinner!! We’ll absolutely be back. Thank you, Noble Rice, for making it so special.“

“Amazing, food, vibe, drinks!“

“This restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience that truly stands out. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, setting the stage for what can only be described as a culinary adventure. The menu is thoughtfully curated and absolutely outstanding—every dish is bursting with bold, unforgettable flavors that showcase the chef’s creativity and attention to detail. Whether you’re a foodie or just someone who appreciates quality meals, this place is a must-visit. I’ve tried many restaurants, but this one easily ranks as my number one. I wholeheartedly recommend it—hands down, 1000% worth it!“

“The staff were fabulous all very welcoming and wanted you to fully experience the Restaurant BT The Ambiance was great so relaxing loved the food - 1st time to have Vietnamese food - delicious Thank you to all the team Even the restroom wass top class Beautiful decor in Restaurant BT big treat for Valentines 💝 night I arrived in from Ireland“

“Koya is an experience not to be missed. The food is a fencing match of flavor and creativity. I would compare the passion that Chef Eric and his team bring to the culinary space to that of Steve Irwin and the way his eyes would light up while talking about wildlife conservation. The minute you walk into the guest dining area, you are wrapped in the warmth of welcoming intimacy as the team greats you by name and gently guides you to your carefully selected seat. Through basic observation, you can tell the Chef purposely designed the space to make the guests the focus of the evening. This is clearly shown in how the illumination in the room is focus on the guest seats in comparison to the rest of the space. The contrast of the natural wood counters against the shadowy background provides an understated grace and refined simplicity without the pretentious nature occasionally found in fine dining. The music is modern, melodic, and upbeat. It aptly fills the room without being overbearing so that conversation can be had at soft levels. The cleanliness of the restaurant is crisp from front entry to rear restroom. With that being said, the food is the star of the show. Simply put, it is an eye opening and daring journey. Chef Eric takes you through his mind as he lays his very thoughts on the plate in front of you. Each course is assembled with intent and purpose. The dishes expose the guests to gastronomical revelations that will leave you wanting more and forcing you to ask questions like; "What kind of madman created this and how/where do I get more of it?" Chef Eric has a story to tell, and each dish is an enthralling chapter of a book you never want to end. There is a sense of tradition and innovation that accentuates the culinary bravery that is Chef Eric and his team of exceptionally talented and personable chefs. My single, solitary negative is that I can never eat enough.“

“Hole in the wall seafood spot. So good!!! Would highly recommend“

“such an amazing dining experience! from the service to the impeccable food everything from start to finish was amazing can not wait until my next trip down if you have not experienced this place you need to it is a must stop when you are in town!“

“I was there twice this week, and both times were amazing. We were treated like family. Lorena and Jill were spectacular Sunday as were James and Anna Tuesday. It’s hard to decide what was better: the food, the service, or the comfy chairs. Even KJ who brought our food was especially friendly.“

“Fantastic place! We celebrated my daughter’s graduation here and had the very best experience. From start to finish they provided exceptional service. Everyone went above and beyond to make our event extra special. The service was amazing, the food was great and beautifully displayed, tables were set up welcoming, and we had plenty of space for our guests to enjoy. I look forward to returning and enjoying another great meal and experience!“

“This is by far the best local eatery! I eat here almost every day. All the food is outstanding; as I eat healthy, I normally get the steak or chicken with salad and yuca or black beans. Of course a Cuban coffee and just sometimes one of their delicious desserts. I always bring home yuca and salad for dinner. For now, am staying away from carbs and have lost 11 pounds since going here.!! The servers are fantastic and very friendly. The entire restaurant is clean which is a huge thing to me! Highly recommend!!“

“Was my first time ...the best Chinese food I have ever had ..Very large portions to share ..They have a desert cart that comes around...will definitely be back with the family! 5 stars from me for sure!“

“Lunch date with friends was a great choice. Shrimp and grits were super yummy! We shared and the portion was just right. Our friends split a salad and It was also good. Very attentive waitstaff. Friendly hostess. Love the decor and atmosphere.“

“Enjoyed every minute of time spent there. Can’t wait to return!“

“Found this neat little place for drinks and a quick bite to eat while waiting to check into our room in the SoHo area. Great vibe and the food was fantastic! Happy Hour menu had a good selection of Tapas and drinks and was very reasonably priced. The bartenders were very personable.“

“A humble fast casual restaurant with really nice staff and the best chicken quesadilla I've ever had! This is no Americanized menu. There are tacos, quesadillas, sopes, and tamales, and each one looks better than the last. You can even have a bowl! The tortilla was crispy, the mozzarella cheese was generous, and the chicken was delicious! The chicken was chopped into small pieces, sauteed in something incredible, and had fresh cilantro sprinkled on top. Whenever I'm close by, I'll be eating here and trying their sopes next!“

“I want to give a special thanks to Moe and Muhammad for catering our lunch today here at Advent Health Tampa, we appreciate it dearly; everything was delicious and very well presented.“

“I only have positive things to say about this establishment! My family and I usually dine in with you guys but we were hosting a family reunion today and we wanted to order some of our favorite foods to go. My gosh everything was just prepared wonderfully and tasted amazing like usual! The take out team was just spot on! We wanted to specifically thank a younger girl with blonde hair. I believe her name was Nichole or Nikki or something like that. keep up the good work, i’ll be back!“

“During the past five years, we have enjoyed the authentic Turkish cuisine at Bayshore Mediterranean Grill. Having made several trips to Turkiye, we can attest to this fact! Thanks to the restaurant staff for providing excellent service. Special thanks to Rania, our server.“

“Fantastic Experience, bring the whole family !“

“Great place to eat, the best vegan food in Florida. Absolutely best pizza I’ve ever eaten. The owner was so helpful to my wife Rose, explaining everything and taking care of us. We are from middle Tennessee but we will be back. All looking for a better place to eat healthy and great tasting food don’t miss this place.“

“My first time at a Brazilian Steakhouse and it was awesome. The ribeye and filet were my favorites of the night, but everything was really good. All you can eat quality cuts of steak, lamb, chicken, shrimp, salmon, and pork for only $62.50..yes please! My wife who is not a big eater had the salad bar, which had a huge selection of many different foods...calling it a salad bar is far far inadequate. As for the meat coming to your table, don't be shy about asking for what you want if you are not seeing it. Everyone there was friendly and attentive. They even indulged my odd request for ketchup. My wife said the lobster bisque was the best she ever had!“

“Very impressed with CJ the new kitchen manager who comes out to check on all the patrons, amazing and refreshing! He is a very positive and welcome addition. Amber and Amy whether bartending/waiting always make us feel like home. We always laugh and enjoy our time here.“

“The food here is amazing. Very classy high end place to go for a romantic dinner. We will go back again.“

“Went there yesterday with my husband and daughters. That was by far the best pizza I've had!!!! The owner was soo nice & we promised we'd leave a review about the pizza & not the bathroom that's getting remodeled!!! Lol“

“Never disappoints.🍱🍤🍣🍶🥟🍤🥢“

“That’s what I’m talking about!!! Great food! What a great menu!!! Looking forward to many great meals to come. Town and Country needed a legit Pizza spot and Tomato Joe’s delivers!!! 🙌🏼“

“Hadn't been back to Seasons 52 in a while and were not disappointed. Our server was excellent, and the food was very good. Some special requests from a couple of people in our party were handled flawlessly. Only real "problem" is remembering dishes we have had there in the past and really liked that are no longer available due to the seasonal menus. But we all found something else to eat that was equally good“

“Food was great and Marietta was the best. We were 10 and she was awesome. Thank You“

“Thanks Angel for the amazing time. You made our anniversary eve dinner a wonderful one, thumbs up!!!“

“Very large portions and absolutely delicious! Great beer and liquor selection as well!

Service was great considering we hit them right when the opened with almost 2 dozen hungry bikers and only the bartender to handle all of us.

Great job and sorry for crushing you like that!“

“Celebrated my 60th birthday Girl's dinner at the new Flemmings location. The service was phenomenal and the food was amazing. We will definitely be returning...often! Thank you for a wonderful experience ❤️“

“We love sitting upstairs and listening to the live music.“

“First time eating from here and Oh my goodness!! Everything is absolutely delicious! The bowls are packed with so much yummy goodness and the cucumber yogurt has that amazing taste of garlic in it! 😍🤤 The falafel is perfectly seasoned and sesame on it makes it even tastier than it already is. Beyond impressed! My new favorite place. Seriously, truly wonderful food! ❤️“

“Everything was good i especially loved the rice🗣️‼️ our chef Tadashi was hilarious and next time I come back to Tampa with the family we’re definitely coming back and I WANT TADASHI🗣️‼️🔪👨🏽‍🍳🍽️💪🏽🔥😁🏝️#Tampa“

“Turning 21 and celebrating at Cali was the best combination! I got a free cookie to celebrate! Tay as always was incredible and just brought a smile to my day! Cam was also stellar in making my day so special! Cam was training but frankly I could’ve sworn she was already an active staff member, she was amazing! Joe even came by to stop by and was so sweet! We also spoke with Adam as he dropped off our Hummus and he came with smiles and compliments. What an amazing staff!! Not to mention the food was heavenly! I had an excellent time!🫶🥹“

“Brittani was an excellent server! She brought our hot food quickly and refilled my iced tea! We really enjoyed our meal. It was delicious! Just love the specials! We will be back!“

“Beautiful waterfront location with outdoor seating great margarita drink specials and attentive service staff. The menu offered a lot of options to satisfy any appetite. Our fish preparations were tasty and well presented. See pics. The only criticism was that the rice was cold to the touch and palate upon arrival and that the fish was a little overdone, which made it a bit dry. We will return to enjoy again with some requests to be communicated to our server.“

“Hubby and I had lunch here today before our flight home. I'm glad we did! We will be adding it to our rotation when we are in Tampa. He had the West Tampa and I had the Grill Chez. It was sooo good! I'll admit I am a grilled cheese snob. I like my sandwich crispy and buttery with an interesting blend of cheese and toppings. This sandwich didn't disappoint! It was so good first bite to last. The bread, cheese and topping choice was spot on! Check them out, you won't be disappointed!“

“Holy Sh*t Kevin!!! The steak sandwich was even better than the burger, which may be an impossible feat. You guys have an amazing thing here. We will be back!!!“

“My husband and I are frequent diners at Rice and Spice, pretty much regulars, we have been visiting this restaurant for over 2 years and every time we are 100% happy and satisfied with the food, the service, the ambience. They never cease to amaze us with their menu. Tonight we ordered a new dish that is not in the menu yet and it was absolutely delicious. If you like curry, which i do not care for curry - but this was exceptional. The name is Ka-Mu-Panang. I also had a new dessert - made of coconut, bananas. and mango. Because it was a new item it hasn't been named yet - so we called it CoBango, the owners were also naming it different things and still no name when we left. Typical visit as part of the fun going there is feeling like going to family- the owners are very we;coming and family oriented. Love the place!“

“We went for dinner tonight on Mother's Day based on Google Reviews. The food was a beautiful, fresh, and DELICIOUS! The owner came out to see how everything was and gave us a little background story & family history (which I always love). Super friendly, family oriented. DELICIOUS! Try it!! Tell your friends. Definitely a hidden gem 💎“

“Simply the best of everything always!!!!“
