Best Dinner Places to Eat in Sunset 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)."

"Tampa’s premier restaurant is more than a steakhouse; it’s an experience. Dry-aged, hand-carved prime grade steaks and organic vegetables are just the start. Bern’s also has the largest restaurant wine collection in the country (and it’s surprisingly affordable)."

"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."

Unlike other fancy restaurants, where non-meat eaters may be stuck eating a modified salad, here they make a point to serve a variety of vegan entrees, like Za’atar Tofu with Lentil Farro and Tofu Ginger Rice Noodles."

"Mise en Place has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and is conveniently located near Tampa attractions and shopping so you can explore the city before or after your meal. If you’re a fan of seafood, you’ll love the salmon entree, which is grilled to perfection and served with fresh vegetables. You can also enjoy the sous vide venison loin with blanched broccoli rabe or the beef oxtail poutine."
