Side Bern's was decent, but being the sibling to big brother Bern's, one of Tampa's finest and most reknowned restaurants, we were disappointed, especially after reading the many good reviews. Not that it was bad. It was decent. It just wasn't great. For instance, the conch chowder we had was extremely bland. To compare, we love the seafood chowder at the Mystic Fish in Palm Harbor--much more zing, especially with Myer's rum in it!! The dim sum selection was small and disappointing-for dim sum, go to TC Choy's. Entrees were alright. We prefer Profusion, Roy's, Blue Heron, Mystic Fish, TC Choy's...
Pros: has potential
Cons: living on reputation, of Bern's., Can do much better
