OH MY GOSH, I don’t even know where to start!
This steakhouse is absolutely amazing and if you are ever in the Tampa area you MUST go, it is a dinning experience I will never ever forget. First, you will have so much food, I was stuffed the entire next day. But it was so good, you have an apps, soup (lobster bisque), salad (table side Caesar, they make it right in front of you and they put anchovies in it; oh man I hate anchovies but this was GOOD!), main course (Steak, green beans, carrots, mac and cheese, potatoes), wine (Pinot Noir), and then when you are ready to have desert, they take you on a tour (if you chose that option) of the wine cellar and the kitchen. I have worked in a restaurant before but never have I seen a kitchen ran this way! The way they run this restaurant is impeccable. They probably have about 175 staff members per night (don’t quote me on that but it is alot)! Each one of them have their own station /area in the kitchen, for instance they have a fish station where that person’s focus is just the fish, they have salad station, they have a cook station …. and their steaks – to die for! It’s perfectly aged … I just can’t describe how good it is!
The wine cellar is enormous! Just rows and rows of wine and champagne … I’ve seen a lot of wine in Napa and Sonoma but they are the same wine made by the same winery …these are all sorts of different wines!
It has around 750,000 bottles of wine and champagne from present to dating back in the 1800s … so crazy! After you take a tour of the wine cellar and kitchen you go to this room upstairs and I wish I had pictures because it was amazing but my camera died after only a couple shots 
. So the upstairs desert room holds about 250 people. They have a ton of options on after dinner wines, liquor, coffee and deserts! It was awesome! I had a butterscotch drink that had ice cream in it and Nate and I shared the Creme Brulee .. oh my gosh if only I could have this whole meal again right now. As I am typing my stomach is growling!!
Huge recommendation! It can be a little pricey but worth every single penny – and I mean every penny! So if your around the Tampa area … maybe you should check it out! Here is the website, http://www.bernssteakhouse.com/. Also,we went to the Blue Martini in the International mall, that was a pretty cool spot. It was a Wednesday and it looked as if everyone thought it was Saturday. Pretty packed! So maybe swing by that place too!
Well hope you all have a great weekend! I hear there is a winter storm coming through up north – stay warm my little northerners

I see now why Nate was so excited to go. That restaurant sounds absolutely ridiculous! It has to be even more crazy in person. I will have to check it out some point in my life.
Thanks for commenting … it was unbelievable! You’ll def have to hit it up sometime!
