Bread was delicious. Calamari was also delicious, but i prefer it without the sauce. Then my entre was shrimp and risotto with a lobster butter sauce. My husband also got the 12 oz prime rib, it was super tender and had great flavor.

This was a really nice experience. Our server knew the menu well. The lobster appetizer was the star of the show! The bread and butter was phenomenal. We ordered 2 loaves!

I’ve often enjoyed takeout from this place, especially the sliced prime rib sandwich, which is truly special. For a special day like Valentine’s Day, I chose to dine in person. Sadly, the experience didn’t quite live up to my hopes. The server was friendly enough, but I noticed other servers were a bit more attentive. We were seated in a bright, second-floor room that felt more energetic, while other parts of the restaurant seemed warmer and more inviting. The pork belly billionaire bacon appetizer looked stunning but was a bit too peppery, dry, and flavorless, and the bread served was a little too tough. The wagyu steak, cooked to a perfect medium-rare, arrived cold and needed salt and pepper to boost the flavor—quite a letdown. The crème brûlée looked tempting, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I really wanted the meal to be memorable, but sadly, it just didn’t quite hit the mark.

Loved it so much went back 3 times in 1 week! The bartender pictured is a master at his craft. Some of my favorites are the Billionaires Bacon and Fried Lobster for appetizers. The filet has been my favorite so far but all the steaks have been amazing. The scallops were devine as well as the desserts.

For years, Bascom’s was little more than a landmark I noted through my car window—a beacon of “culinary excellence” I promised myself I’d eventually visit. Recently, I finally traded the commute for a table, joining a group of colleagues to see if this Pinellas County staple truly lived up to its decades of accolades.
The experience began with a sophisticated flair that immediately signaled why this place has endured since 2001. Our waiter was the epitome of professional, providing an attentive, seamless service that allowed our group to focus on the conversation. The first real “wow” moment came with the arrival of the Old Fashioneds. They were delivered in individual wooden boxes, which, when opened, released a plume of trapped smoke—a theatrical touch that felt both modern and timeless.
As we moved into the meal, the Billionaire’s Bacon proved to be a revelation. It was outstanding, delivering on every bit of its indulgent promise. Following a classic, well-executed Caesar salad, I moved on to the definitive litmus test for any serious steakhouse: the NY Strip, ordered medium. The kitchen nailed the execution. The steak arrived with a perfect cook, a deep, rich flavor, and a texture that confirmed the quality of their sourcing.
To round out the plate, I opted for the broccolini with smoked gouda and a loaded baked potato. While the broccolini was perfectly fine, the potato was a highlight of proportion. Topped with bacon and sour cream, it was priced fairly for its size—substantial enough to feel like a treat, yet not so massive that it became a chore to finish.
Reflecting on the evening, Bascom’s is an easy recommendation for anyone seeking a meal that balances tradition with a few innovative sparks. While the debate over the absolute “top” steakhouse in the entire Tampa Bay area is a fierce one—and often leans toward the Tampa side of the bridge—Bascom’s firmly stakes its claim as a premier destination on the Clearwater and St. Petersburg side. It is a great experience that comfortably earns more than four stars, and I’m glad to have finally turned off the road and stepped through their doors.

A comfortable, cozy steakhouse vibe with plenty of appealing, and hearty options. We split the most tender bacon appetizer, waygu focaccia, and oysters. For entrees I stuck to a classic 6oz filet and split the creamy Lobster Mac’n Cheese. The Scallops were perfectly complemented by the pomegranate and balsamic glaze.

There’s a reason this place has been around for over 20 years and that’s the consistent delicious dishes and exceptional service! If you never been here, put it on your list. We were greeted with a warm welcome and seated promptly at our reserved time. Our server, Kenny, was knowledge and attentive! The wine list is amazing and I liked thay they had several mocktails to choose from. We started with the fried lobster and lump crab martini. Both were outstanding! The lobster had an airy and light batter while not overpowering the lobster. Australian wagu strip cooked to a perfect medium rare and diver scallops were my choice and the steak just melts in your mouth. The sides, ohhhhh the sides, gouda mac and cheese, creamed corn, potato gratin and maple and honey roasted carrots with goat cheese and pecans, were all delicious! We finished with the chocolate mousse with chocolate chips, salted caramel popcorn, whipped cream, shaved chocolate and caramel sauce. A perfect ending to a perfect meal! We were also checked on by the manager, Eric, who was warm and friendly. Already looking forward to my next visit!

My husband and I had an amazing dinner at Bascoms.
If you’re looking for a place to have a memorable dinner, this is the spot. You will be blown away!
We started with the lobstercargot appetizer and it was absolutely spectacular-rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. For our main course my husband had the New York strip, which he said was the best he ever had. I had the lamb chops which were to perfection, juicy and tender. The service was on point from beginning to end; our server checked on us often to make sure everything was perfect without ever being intrusive. They truly went above and beyond.
Even the manager came to our table to personally make sure we were taken care of and that everything was to our liking. That extra touch of hospitality really stood out!
Highly recommend Bascom’s for anyone looking for excellent food, great service, and a place that makes you feel genuinely welcomed.

Very good steak house. Probably best high end one in Pinellas County. Service impeccable, food well cooked and properly seasoned. High price, but luxury dining experience.

We had a lovely dinner here last weekend and it did not disappoint! The lobster bisque and lobster mac and cheese were some of the best I’ve ever had. Our steaks were cooked perfectly. Drinks were also on point. Definitely will be back when we’re in town!
