This is a great steak restaurant on the edge of the old market. Ordered the bone-in Fillet with the truffled mac and cheese, yukon smashed potatoes, and creamed corn in a chipotle sauce. Family styled sides meant a nice sampling for my co-workers. The steak was done to perfection.

The only thing I wish they had was a smaller desert portion, but hell who can really complain about that.

I had been told of my coworkers of the legendary status of Bern's. I have eaten at many fine Steakhouses, but to be frank the descriptions fall short of the dining experience here.

The ambiance is rustic with a dash of royalty. The staff at Bern's go through years of training just to be able to serve it's guests, and the effort they put into this place as a whole makes it something very special. The professionalism from every worker at Bern's is unmatched.

I was a bit skeptical when the server said that the Wagyu Steak would be unlike any other I have tasted. I have had some mighty fine Kobe Beef before, and I opted to try their sampler of Wagyu, Filet Mignon, and Delmonico. The Wagyu is almost indescribably tender, flavorful, and literally melts in your mouth. Simply put, while the Delmonico and  Filet were both excellent steaks, and would have been more than satisfying, the Wagyu elevated the tasting to a whole other level.

I am not a wine connoisseur but I doubt there is another place on this earth that has the collection that Bern's has. From a simple glass, to a $30,000 collectors class wine, the wine cellar (that only holds 10% of it's reserves) is something out of Hollywood.

If in Tampa, this is a must visit. If you are alive, this is a must visit. I am certainly glad I got to experience it, and hope to again (sooner than later).

I have dined at a number of good places over the years. I was surprised and very pleased that Detroit is home to this excellent dining experience. Fried Brussels Sprouts had a very complex and satisfying taste, the scallops were flavorful without losing the taste of the actual scallop itself, and the Filet Mignon with Crab Bearnaise was some of the very best steak I have ever had.

There was not an disappointing moment the whole night. The service was above the best expectations. This is a dining experience to seek out, and there is no equal in the Detroit area.
