Best Dinner Places to Eat in Saint Pete Beach

"A Tampa institution, Bern’s opened as a steak sandwich shop back in 1953. Today, the seemingly haunted mansion stands proud as a truly impressive family-owned establishment. Reservations are necessary but entirely worth it for a filet that comes with a loaded baked potato, seasonal salad, and organic sides (Bern’s even has its own farm where seasonal goodies are grown for the restaurant)."

"The Harry Waugh is a signature piece of Tampa history, where locals enjoy some sweets after enjoying a Bern’s steak. Located on the second floor of Bern’s, the Dessert Room has individual booths for each group of visitors and an amazing pianist. The phone inside the booth can be used to request songs to the pianist – which is super fun."

"Consider sneaking across the street for some heavenly dessert at The Harry Waugh Dessert Room at Bern’s Steak House. Stay another night at the Grand Hyatt."

"The restaurant has two stories with two full bars and seating. The owners call themselves ‘shamelessly unapologetic flavor crusaders’ with Datz as their playground and proudly state that ‘ordinary belongs in a dictionary, not in a restaurant.’ Snack on some Sriracha popcorn while you wait for mac and cheese stuffed meatloaf and flights of bacon."

"Datz opened in 2009 and is one of Tampa’s most popular restaurants for Breakfast and Brunch in Tampa. This gastropub serves breakfast 7-11 Monday to Friday and brunch on Saturday and Sunday starting at 8:30 am. The say they serve comfort food with a flair!"
