This is dining the way it should be, they accept reservations, seat you early, and the ultimate in service. Not being sure what we wanted for dinner we first thought of the Chart House on Longboat Key. After deciding that was nice but not great, we knew Bern's would be the place to go. We had Diet Coke to drink which is priced by the glass, no free refills here (for the price of their meals I think they can afford to give free refills.) If wine is your thing this is the place to go, with over 6900 unique wine labels they are sure to have something to match your tastes even if it won't match your budget (most expensive bottle $10,000). We started off with the Yellowfin Tuna Tartar, oh this is so good. You have tried tuna and liked it at your favorite local restaurant or sushi place, it has nothing on this. So Good! We split the 17oz Chateaubriand (with garlic butter), this is from the tenderloin like a filet but cut and cooked differently, and has more flavor. Learn about Art in Steaks. This comes with a salad that is beyond fresh, the best french onioin soup you'll ever have, baked potato (the waiter prepares this tableside for you so you don't have to burn your fingers gettin it ready), vegetables (this time was a carrot and another vegetable with Gran Mariner, very good), and fried onion straws. This is more than a meal, it is an experience, if all service and food was up to this quality, there would never be the need for food and restaurant critics again.
