An experience, not just dinner! One of the other restaurants in my Top 5 in America list - thanks Troy for introducing me to it! This is one of the most unique restaurants in all the world! Only place I know where they don’t even cut your steak until you order it. You can order a steak three different ways - by ‘cut’; by weight and by thickness. So you can have a 1” thick, 14 oz. Strip or a 3” thick, 20 oz. Filet! Whatever you want! They grow their own herbs and veggies, their waiters have to work there a year in the back before they can wait tables (some have been there for decades and make six figures!), they have a million bottles of wine (NOT a $1,000,000,000.00 worth – a million bottles) and they let you look at a couple thousand of them, literally, on the wine cellar tour. After dinner they take you upstairs, next door to the private dessert rooms, where you choose the lighting and the type of music you like. Their Macadamia Nut ice cream is most delicious!
WARNING! Be prepared for this to be an event – last time I went with a friend I left Orlando at 6pm, drove an hour and a half to Bern’s, sat down at 8 – finished dessert at midnight – got back to Orlando at 2am. Totally worth it!!! No jeans or flip-flops allowed, but the decor is super-funky. If you are anywhere in Northern Florida, you should go.
