Bern’s Steak House – Tampa Florida – A renowned restaurant where waiters first must apprentice on Bern’s farm picking the fresh ingredients used every day. No haughtiness here. A marvelous desert room upstairs. However, after Bern’s death the meat doesn’t always come out the way you order it, something that he was demanding and fastidious about. Still needs a visit.
