Tasting Menu Rocks! – I had the perfect date at SideBern's last Friday night! It was the first time we had dined there and we were blown away. When I called to make the reservations, I had a lot of questions about the tasting menu I heard so much about. The host on the line spent time going over everything with me. They pair six courses of food with wine. My date doesn't eat seafood and the kitchen had no problem substituting items out so she could enjoy the experience with me.They even brought us a vegetarian tasting menu t... read more
Totally Over Rated and Over Priced – My wife and I had dinner last night at Sideberns. When I called for a reservation they said they couldn't seat us until 8:30pm. When we got there, the restaurant was half full. I had the pork chop and my wife had the beef bourginoin. Over 60% of my pork chop was pure fat, it was undercooked and a little tough. For over $30, it was disappointing to say the least. My wife's beef tasted like left over brisquet, not very good. I did complain to the waitress but a manager never came to verify ... read more
Expensive but mediocre – Being from Chicago, I may have too high of a standard, but sideberns, which came highly recommended, is overrated. First, the staff seemed quite arrogant, from time of presentation to seating to ordering. The appetizer (foie gras) was expensive and rather poor quality although the reduction was pretty good. Ordering of a entree was a fiasco. My wife and I ordered, 10 minutes later the waiter came back to say they were out of the item, I ordered a different item, 10 minutes later the waiter came back ... read more
Enjoyable, but Not All It's Cracked Up to Be – Sidebern's seems to me to be the kind of place that should be alot better than it actually is. The food is good and the service excellent, but I wasn't "wowed" like colleagues told me I would be. I was most disappointed in the dim sum. These appetizers/amuses bouches were a let down - tiny crab rangoons tasted more like crispy cream cheese more than anything else. I wondered what chef in their right mind would ruin high-quality Kumamoto oysters by frying them. The dinner menu is... read more
Good food, stylish setting – Food was great, on the avant garde side, but that is a nice change once in a while. Portions are fine, not huge. Price is on the more expensive side, but nowhere near it's big brother, Bern's. Overall - recommended,
Try Denny's instead – Very disappointing in many ways. Food was lacking. My wife's duck breast was tough. My fish was under cooked. Service was very slow on Saturday night. We waited 90 minutes for our entrees. Waitress was average at best, but she did apologize many times for the delay. Decor is without style. And, it is loud...very loud....definitely not romantic and not fun. In addition, this place is unrealistically expensive. You could have an excellent dinner at a nice restaurant in DC or New York City for less money t... read more
Finally! A restaurant that measures up in Tampa. – Sidebern's is an amazing restaurant. The food is some of the best that my husband and I have ever had. After moving here from Midtown Atlanta, we have high standards and are quite difficult to please. This restaurant could do no wrong! The restaurant was easily wheelchair accessible and the staff didn't seem to notice my husband's disability but they were very attentive to his needs. Reservations are a must (and weeks in advance) and it's quite pricey, but I believe it's wor... read more
Definitely impressed – This place is simply fabulous. My husband and I had martinis at the bar as we waited for the rest of our party and they were absolutely flawless. I can't tell you what a difference it makes to have a bartender that doesn't have to be walked through the process! Seating was a quick and pleasant since we made reservations, and I can't say enough about our server, Marc. Not only did he recommend exquisite dishes, but he was very knowledgable and helpful when it came to wine selection. From start to finish... read more
Pleasantly Surprised (and Impressed) – Wife & I were down for weekend from Boston. Called Friday for Sat reservations none avail. until 9:30 Told if I came at 6 wouldn't "have problem being seated." Arrived 6 "no tables available." Ate at the bar. Skeptical I'd find good asian-fusion in Tampa. Food & service was fantastic! Crab rangoon (crispy outside tender inside) & dim sum oysters for appetizer (wife loved both, particularly crab rangoon). Followed by lump crab salad. Crab was fresh, pairing with avocado was perfect. Dinn... read more
