Another great dinner with Chef Chris. Started with the ancient bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, followed by baby artichoke hearts (one of my favorite appetizers), house salad (now I appreciate part a truly fresh salad), ragu bolognese and my husband enjoyed the pasta/clam entree. If you haven’t tried it, get the Lava Cap wine flight which includes Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Each wine got better as we drank it - which Chef Chris said it would. We ended up buying the trip to enjoy at home the next time we have friends over. If you haven’t been to Quality Foods Market - you must and enjoy it with family and friends. You’re not rushed because the table is yours for the night. We treasure our dinners at Quality Foods Market - fresh delicious food, superb wine while we unwind from the week and learn about wine from Chef Chris.

Wine Bar
Englewood
About the restaurant
Rumours Wine Bar was brought to life from a vision that began back in 2019 in our living room. Dana had recently resigned from her Wine Sales position and wasn’t sure what she wanted to do next. She had always dreamed of opening her own Wine bar so we created our logo, our name, and our brand and simply followed our heart. We opened as a retail store in January 2020 and pivoted when the Pandemic started by creating an online store and offering curbside pick-up and delivery. In September 2020, we passed our final inspections and received our beer and wine license for “on-premise” consumption as well as a restaurant license. We have not slowed down since. We have won numerous awards from our local community including 2022 and 2023 "Best Local Cheers Bar." Our mission at Rumours Wine Bar is to simply embrace intellectual stimulation linked to wine in a relaxed and friendly environment.

About the restaurant
Perfectly aged steaks, one of the largest wine collections in the world, and an internationally famous dessert room. These elements have combined since 1956 to provide guests with a unique culinary experience. Prime steaks are cut to order, vegetables are grown locally on the Bern’s farm when available and sourced from the finest purveyors, and the menu includes 20 choices of caviar. Each visit to Bern’s Steak House takes you on a gastronomic adventure that defines Bern’s not as a meal but as an experience.

We really enjoyed our server - Roman. New favorite restaurant in Tampa. For those in the know about cold aged steaks, quality and taste is comparable to steakhouses in NYC e.g. Benjamin’s. The decor, presentation, the overall experience is amazing. There’s a huge selection of wines. I believe largest in any restaurant in the USA. There’s a restaurant within a restaurant- desert room. Also amazing- both taste and decor.
