 Tampa's upper crust (and those aspiring to that status) frequent Bern's, but many visit only for special occasions, such as popping the question or celebrating a birthday. Owned by Tampa's Laxer family for many years, it shares its standards of fine service with sibling SideBern's. Murals of French vineyards, redwood booths, cameo-covered walls and bronzed pillars contribute to the atmosphere, but the decadent décor is meant not as a distraction from the food but rather as an appropriate backdrop for an exquisite meal. Dry-aged U.S. Prime and choice beef steaks are the main attraction (51 different hand-butchered cuts worth), but you can also choose from lamb, veal, chicken and seafood. Organically grown fruits and vegetables from the restaurant's farm often complement the entrées. And did we mention the more than a dozen different caviar selections, the 35-plus-item dessert menu, and a wine list touted as the largest in the world? If you do manage to make it through all the courses, move to the dessert quarters upstairs, where 48 private booths are each equipped with a phone for requesting songs from the resident pianist. Or you can ask your waiter to schedule your group a tour of the wine cellar and kitchen. The 15-minute tours are given throughout the night.
