Well I must say for my first trip ever to Bern's Steakhouse in Tampa was more than I ever imagined. The decor was amazing a little dark inside but the service was top notch and the food beyond anything I've ever had elsewhere except for home. We had a grand time with three other couples as we celebrated a surprise birthday for the one gal. The three hours we spent inside was fabulous to say the least and of course the dessert room upstairs was very intimate and decadent with the desserts. It took me forever to get sleep after Nancy chose a chocolate dessert which she only half finished and I could not let a 15 dollar dessert be trashed, so I ate it despite not being able to finish my steak of which we brought some from both of our plates home.
It was a little pricey but for the first time ever it was enjoyable and I would do it again yearly or on special occasions. The mix of folks there was enjoyable as well as we saw some more glamour than others but everyone was very friendly. Our waitress was great also and she earned more than the gratuity that is added to your check when she brought me a fresh jalapeno for my baked tatter. There were no tours due to the pandemic but we could see into the kitchen through the glass which was huge and with so many working there. The place seats over 350 dinners and of course the staff was huge as well.
I didn't due much during the day except hand water the gardens and exercise in the back yard, walking and even jogging for a few minutes. I stayed good with my O2 levels but did get a little winded as we walked up two sets of stairs in the restaurant to the dessert room. Not bad but I could tell I wasn't use to steps. I sure hope I get over that as the cabin is nothing but stairs.
I'm off to two doctors appointments this morning and then a blood draw at 1:30. So wish we good results from all three, LATER
