Bern's Steak House
How to book: weeks — reserve as far ahead as the book allows. The play: standard tables open on a rolling ~60-day window; parties of 9+ open ~90 days out; demand is high and there's reportedly no waitlist/callback, so book the moment your date is available. The HARRY WAUGH DESSERT ROOM is reserved SEPARATELY (by phone) — you can add it after your steak; treat it as its own booking.
Best meal: Dinner — a dry-aged steak cut to order, chosen thickness, with a bottle from the cellar, then the Dessert Room for a nightcap in a wine-cask booth. Confirm the current menu on site.
Who it’s NOT for: budget-diners quick-bite seekers minimalist-decor fans (the room is famously ornate/red-velvet) walk-in-no-plan diners at prime hours vegetarians wanting a veg-forward menu
