if the steak is worth it I can wear a tux if need be .

Let's put it this way. I'd wear a cocktail dress if I had to in order to get in Berns anytime I'm in Tampa.


And it's not just the steak. Old man Berns is dead, but the family has kept his practices alive. It's total control. Their farms raise the cattle, grow the grain fed to the cattle, grows the vegetables that are used for the sides, etc. No expense spared.

Prefer fresh seafood? They have gigantic tanks their on site, the fish is still swimming a short time before he is cooked up and served.

Not a cheap meal by any stretch, and they do expect dress to match the overall experience. There's an Outback nearby if you prefer sweatpants.

They are just trying to establish an atmosphere. How would you like to be out, dressed nice and have someone show up dressed like a slob. Yes, I know that may be far fetched. Just go with the flow, relax and enjoy it. I don't like all of the rules that govern the neighborhood that I live in but then neither do I have to worry about a car being parked up on blocks for an extended period of time with grass growing through the hood either.

BTW if there is any chance that you might need or just want to discuss hosting while you are in the area, hit me up, at least it is always a good reason to meet and knock back a drink or two!

I am most likely going to be down there and through ATL both sometime in late March or early April we should do a place to eat, either there if you guys want to take a steak out road trip, or My favorite in ATL if you FFN's are up for it.

Whatever makes ya happy....

But I'm telling you, if you love steak...or heck, food in general, Berns is worth putting pants on for.
