Most unique restaurant I've ever been to in my life. It's expensive, but it's worth it.

Steaks are great. White macaroni. Most extensive wine list imaginable. Repair to upstairs for a dessert.<div>

Once I asked about a certain wine and the waiter got a bottle and poured for free. My companions and I drank the bottle with him. It's a unique experience as all the people that work there start on their farm.

Bern's is nice and all but honestly you can get steaks just as good a few places around town (Malio's is one). My recommendation, and what I do when I have guests in town, would be to hit another restaurant for dinner and then go to Bern's for desert and drinks. Be sure to get the tour of the kitchen and wine cellar on your way in though. The wine collection is truly amazing.<div>
</div><div>Some of my favorite places in Tampa/St Pete</div><div>
</div><div>St Pete: Taco Bus, Cafe Alma, Black Palm</div><div>Tampa: Datz, Ocean Prime ($$$), Bern's or Malio's ($$$), Columbia, or any of the million food trucks running around.</div>

They had really great seafood (coconut shrimp and crab were wonderful). Their steaks looked very good, but I didn't try them.

See them here: Salt Rock Grill

For dining and entertainment, I suggest Skipper's Smokehouse in Tampa. I haven't been in a while, but I always loved that place.
