Cherry wood booths, bronze pillars and ornate gilded furnishings contribute to the Old World atmosphere at locally renowned Bern’s Steak House, open since 1956. Its wine cellar is regarded as one of the largest and best in the world, with nearly 7,000 unique labels and 200 wines available by the glass. Dry-aged steaks are custom cut for each patron and may be topped with sauces specially made from the wine collection. The formidable menu includes everything from caviar and vegetarian options to steak-ordering instructions. You may want to retire to one of the 48 phone-equipped private nooks in the Harry Waugh Dessert Room to order flambés, banana chocolate cheesecake or one of the dozens of other tantalizing treats.
