There are a lot Tampa restaurants, Tampa Bay restaurants that books can and potentially have been authored just about those that specialize in one cuisine or another. Here are some that are rated highly by their clientele.
Bern's Steak House, at 1208 South Howard Avenue is enthusiastically endorsed by many. Though it's pricey, it has a stylish if rather decadent ambiance that some folks have compared, lovingly, to a bordello. The patron should dress up for dinner. Bern's is open till late on Fridays and Saturdays, but opens early on Mondays. It has a full bar and an impressive selection of wines that are not as expensive as they could be. One customer had a bottle of 30 year old Italian red for a bit less than $50. Bern's offers its patrons valet parking and is good for dinner parties, though not so good for children. A lot of the raves comes from the indisputable fact that Bern's has their own farm and much of their produce comes from there. Some customers are given a tour of the kitchen and the wine cellar.
Some of the most tasty meals are the duck confit with pomegranate reduction on a bed of arugula. There's also carpaccio, meat tartare, chateaubriand, the 40 ounce strip steak, filet mignon and the elderly prime steak. The steaks are all hand trimmed of fat before they are served. The menu also includes a whole page of caviar. Bern's also gets very high marks for, apparently its baked potatoes.
Dessert is served in the "dessert" room and can include figs and cheese, cakes, ice cream, flambs, a special macadamia nut sundae, peanut butter truffles and tiramisu.
Tampa is right on the water, so you'd figure Tampa restaurants, Tampa Bay restaurants would serve the best seafood, and many of them do indeed. Oystercatchers is another expensive eatery on Bayport Drive, though not as dear as Bern's Steak House. It is a quite romantic place, situated where at least some of the clientele can see the sun set, and like with Bern's, the patron should dress up for it. Unlike Bern's, it's kid friendly. Their seafood mixed grill is beautiful, as are the mahi mahi, calamari and stone crab claws, which are described by patrons as uncommonly sweet, succulent and gigantic. Oystercatchers also gets kudos for its luxurious key lime pie.
If sandwiches served in a good, unfussy, good way are far more the clients''s speed, there's the West Tampa Sandwich Shop, opened on Mondays thru Saturdays at five in the morning and staying open late on Saturdays. It's inexpensive, Latin flavored, casual and has a tiny kitchen that turns out giant taste. The one sandwich clients raved about was the notorious Cuban sandwich, which can come hand made with pork, ham and salami, lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, pickles and mustard between two layers of cloud-soft bread. One variant of this sandwich is the honey Cuban, which appears to be served nowhere else in the area. They also serve steak and chorizo sandwiches, which can sometimes be washed down with mango milkshakes. The West Tampa Sandwich Shop shop also sells cracking good Espresso and cafeteria con leche and is the greatest place for morning coffee.
