Reviews
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.
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.
