Editorial Review for Harry Waugh Dessert Room at Bern's Steak House – by Laura Reiley
The Scene
Nothing prepares you for it; not even the rococo excess of Bern's Steak House downstairs. People say, "Dine in individual hollowed-out wine casks." Or, "There are individual, wall-mounted radios to set the mood at your table." You hear something about an accordionist, and maybe flambéing waiters. Rumors about this romantic, dessert-only place (named after a wine-writing crony of Bern) get the heart racing.
The Food
If romance leaves you cold, the sheer quantity of sugar, high-octane coffee and gorgeous after-dinner drinks are bound to give you a little thrill. Especially thrilling are the Framboise Macadamia Decadence, a tidy chocolate-cake cylinder flavored with raspberry filling; the Chocolate-Chocolate-Chocolate, light mousse segueing to denser cheesecake and even denser pie--all chocolate; or the drama of cognac-redolent cherries jubilee served with fat scoops of vanilla ice cream. And to go with it all: house cappuccino of Kahlua-marinated ground beans topped with lush vanilla cream.

Insider Tips
ParkingSkip the pricey valet parking and do it yourself just across the street.
Where to SitThe bigger tables are usually filled with older revelers, while the smaller, wine-cask booths feature couples dreamily spooning each other bites. The live music room may be the most romantic of all, featuring a pianist who has entertained here for more than 35 years.

The Bern's dessert room has a mind-boggling array of choices for both desserts and after dinner drinks. However, one stands above all, the banana's foster. Anyone not familiar with the preparation of this delicious Southern dessert will get an intimate tutorial. A cart equipped with propane burners is wheeled to your table as your server creates the dish before your eyes. Not only is this fantastic entertainment, it tastes heavenly. For those that must have chocolate, their cakes are incredible as well.
