Went last Saturday and sat at the bar. It was 25% off all wines $50 or more. The wine list is phenomenal and reasonably priced. Ordered the 2018 Monsanto Riserva along with a Ceasar salad, the farm raised bone in rib eye along with a baked potato. The wine, salad and potato were fantastic however the rib eye was not. It was very fatty and chewy with a lot of sinew. Not one to complain however when the manager came by and asked how things were and I informed him of the steak and he was gracious to take 1/2 the price albeit still $27 for a steak that wasn't very good. He did inform me of something that I never knew and that was when ordering your steak to not only stress they preferred method od cooking (ie Medium rare) but also designate a type of cut (ie middle cut) which should have less fat and sinew. read more

Definitely a hidden gem of a steakhouse. People talk a lot of Ruth Chris or Fleming's, but this place is definitely on par with both! The interior ambience is dark, classy, and intimate; just like what you would expect a steakhouse to be. Servers were overall very attentive. They keep your drinks filled and are very knowledgeable about the menu. The dinner rolls were delicious and varied. I especially liked the multigrain dinner roll with the various seeds crusted on the outside. The appetizers like the fried calamari and the oysters were executed well. The oysters were nicely seasoned and plump and were not over cooked. What is especially surprising is how well this place executed on their other entrees. I got the duck a l'orange and it was delicious! Nice and tender with crispy skin and juicy meat, the orange sauce had just the right balance of sweet and tartness to cut through the richness of the duck. The only slight demerit is that seating can get pretty tight and parking can be difficult. And depending on where you are sat, if the restaurant does get really busy, it might take a longer time to have a server come serve you. But other than that, a worthy place to check out :) read more

Apps were good, the bacon was thick, heavily peppered. Okay. Grouper was cooked well, portion was very small for the money. The rice cakes were terrible though, the breading was way too thick and bland. The ribeye was cooked perfect but not seasoned at all. At this price point I was expect a little salt and butter.. Something. I also have a hard time believing this was prime grade. Zero juice on the plate, I've never had a steak so "dry" and for $50 you would think it comes with at least a salad. It comes with a little bit of unseasoned onion straws. So dry on top of dry. Highly disappointed in the steak and both entrees in general. The dessert was good, bananas foster. Service was great. Atmosphere was great. Food, not so much. Most likely our first and last visit. read more

Bascom's Chop House - Dinner time - Steakhouses Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Negatives: The table we sat at was parallel to either the bar or server's station; extremely noisy even though there was a wooden partition. Our server did the minimum level of service. I have been a server so I know the expectations of servers. For a restaurant where for 2 people the bill was over $200, I expect Council Oak or Bern's Steakhouse service; not Applebee service. Positives: The food was amazing. The steaks were prepared to perfection. The gouda mac and cheese is a must try! We ordered crème brûlée and blueberry cheesecake for dessert. Not one bad thing I can say, they were extremely delicious. Conclusion: my friend and I wore jeans and a nice shirt. Most of the people were coming straight from the office in business attire. I have no idea if that reflected the type of service we received. I am hesitant on returning because of the service. However, the food is extremely good; not one single compliant. read more

We got here at 7:30pm and it's now 8:47pm and we have not received our food. We order food probably 10min after sitting down. We got our food at 8:50. I asked for medium steak and I see no pink. The drinks were good and the entertainment was great. But for this to be the best steak house I was extremely disappointed. read more

Awesome place. From the entry and seating to the desert. Excellent all the way around!!!

Too expensive. I know that chop houses tend to be expensive, but it's ridiculously expensive. Not worth it when I'm a better cook.

The steak is next level. Hard to decide between the billionaire's bacon and crab cake for an app.

The best steak in Pinellas CountY! Service is as good and quality food is excellent in comparison to the one near the TPA airport and International Mall. Ambiance can get noisy by the bar but ,manageable when you have a private table to carry a conversation. They are pricey but that is expected. read more

Highly recommend the restaurant! Service was great! Food was definitely very tasty and the drinks were also on point. Had two old fashioned with Buffalo trace and I could have had more! We notified the restaurant that it was our anniversary and we received a delicious dessert on the house. Definitely recommend! read more

From the moment we walked into Bascom's, we felt welcomed. We were here to celebrate our 36th anniversary. Even the host wished us a good day. Our server was Yvonne and she was excellent at her job. She was personable and knowledgeable. For our appetizer, we ordered the dozen oysters. These were sourced from the James River. They were delicious. My husband ordered the wagyu ribeye and I ordered the small filet. Our sides were the mixed mushrooms and the scalloped potatoes. Everything was incredible. The steaks were tender and full of flavor. I also ordered two different drinks. The bramble and the Bascom's coffee for dessert. The crème brûlée was extra creamy and of course crisp on top. We loved our experience here. We will definitely return. read more

Great place. Had the best pork chop ever. Service is super. Everything is Ala carte so be prepared to open your wallet. Server said they served 1000 customers on Mother's Day. I can see why! read more

Did not get the full picture and feel of the place. It was my first time dining as a local. What I ordered was good. I did not care for the wine list. Certainly a crowd puller. Need to figure it out. My friend needed to leave early , so my review is just a place holder. Will be back to check it out and head upstairs for some live music too. read more

We dropped in out of the blue and ended up with one of the absolute best experience of our lives. Our waitress (Kim) was unbelievably perfect. We started with the fried lobster appetizer. WOW. Then we shared the prime prime rib. Again WOW. Wrapped it up with the creme brûlée. Again... WOW. read more

Not impressed. A steakhouse that over cooks my steak immediately gets docked 1 star. I probably would have given this meal 4 stars had it been cooked perfectly. I don't really have much to say, good or bad. The ahi tuna appetizer was underwhelming. The tuna was sliced so thin that I had to fold it in half to get it to stay on my fork. Not worth $13 in my opinion, glad I used the yelp check in offer for $10 off. The onion straws served with my steak were good. I asked for a medium rare filet mignon but was served medium. No, I didn't send it back. I NEVER send food back, it should come to me right the first time. It was still tender though and had decent flavor. The broccolini & potato gratinee both needed salt. Average sides, at best. Because it was my birthday they gave me a free slice of cake. That was nice of them. All in all this place was nothing special. read more

Just too pricey! Gad better steak cheaper my date was trying to impress me not! Food I wouldn't pay it

I can not believe I have been driving past this place to go to work for over 3 years before I finally made a reservation for dinner! I am so mad at myself for waiting! Bascom's is absolutely delicious! We stopped in for a date night on a Friday night. There is plenty of parking and it's very easy to get to as it's right off Ulmerton Road. We were immediately greeted by a kind hostess who sat us at an upstairs table that was right by the acoustic performer. He was excellent and his volume was perfect so that was a plus! We started with the calamari which had a nice kick to it! I loved the dipping sauce. I went with the Queen prime rib which was on special for a great price and it came with a baked potato and salad. It was cooked perfectly and had so much flavor! Just the perfect amount of salt! My boyfriend got the rosemary crusted lamb chops. He LOVED them. He ate them clean off the bone. They were cooked perfectly and were packed full of flavor. Bascom's is a great date night or any night spot. They have a great selection of wines as well! Service was great too! We look forward to coming back!l again soon! read more

Visited Bascom's several times- the service is impeccable. The staff members I spoke with regarding my dietary restrictions were very accommodating and pleasant. The food was delicious; temperature, quality, and value were all above par. Classic steakhouse vibes with no extra frills decor, come for the food and service. I've been to several higher-end steak houses where the steaks were easily 3x the price for half the size and came nowhere close to the quality and rich beef flavor Bascom's provided during my experiences. To the staff, I thank you for being understanding with my dietary requests. read more

This place is impressive from start to finish. The appetizers that we had were so awesome. The billionaires bacon and the fried lobster tail.I love the accompanying sauce, I'll definitely be doing that again, lol. The bone in ribeye was fabulous, the truffle butter made the flavor over the top. Don't forget to make a reservation, they're very busy for a good reason though. read more

From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the restaurant. Two men walked in behind me without masks, and the hostess immediately stopped them and asked if they needed a mask. She proceeded to give them to them and watch as they put them on. That gave me great comfort in knowing the restaurant takes COVID-19 procedures seriously. The hostess was very kind and welcoming! Morgan, the waitress was incredibly kind and warm, and her service was absolutely amazing. I ordered a half bottle of wine, and Morgan was consistently refilling my glass from the bottle before I could even do it myself. I got the Buffalo cauliflower appetizer (absolutely delicious and a large appetizer!) and the bolognese for dinner. The bolognese was a very large portion and very tasty! After I concluded the meal, Morgan walked me out of the restaurant. This was top-notch service from the moment I walked in the door to the moment I walked out the door. I would recommend this place to family and friends alike if ever in the area. Wonderful experience! read more

I was brought here for a business dinner so I was unable to take any pictures, but let me say this place will not disappoint you. This is a business casual restaurant, not sure if there was an actual dress code, I came in jeans and a long sleeve shirt and no one said anything to me. We started off with this big chunks of bacon, looking at it on the menu, you really don't think much of it and it's 7 dollars a strip. However, this was some of the best bacon I had ever had. It was so good, packed full of flavor and not greasy at all. I also got the wagu New York strip, by far the most tender and juicy steak I have ever had. A little pricy but worth giving it a try. read more

Bone in Aged Rib Eye was under cooked I ordered medium rare Caesar Salad was good Stone Crab Clawsthey were fantastic

We came here for my neighbor's birthday dinner. I haven't been here in years because the last two times were not good experiences. This time was perfect. I got the lump crab cakes with rice pilaf and carrots. Oh my God to die for asked for more remoulade a sauce which was so yummy. My boyfriend got the bone-in filet and he devoured it. I did get a couple of pieces and it just melts in your mouth. Neighbors got the filet and crab cakes. Everyone said it was fantastic. Definitely be back. We also got desert the banana Foster with four spoons. Yum yum. So glad it's back to being a five star restaurant. Can't wait for the next occasion. Give it a try. read more

We visited on Saturday around 9 and dined at the bar. Jennifer was a wonderful server and she presented several nightly specials and answered my questions thoroughly. I tried a top shelf cabernet, wish I remembered the winery, and it was exactly what I wanted to pair with my steak. I tried oysters for the appetizer served with all the accompaniments except tabasco. The oysters were not my preferred flavor because I'm spoiled with NE seafood. However the presentation was exceptional, oysters shucked well and definitely fresh. My entree was superb filet with smoked gouda mac n cheese with sherry peppercorn cream sauce. I was hesitant to order the sauce but Jessica assured me it was light cream and crazy flavor. Note worthy the bar crowd is very sociable. I engaged in conversation with several patrons, everyone enjoying life and having fun. Can't forget to mention Paul Bullard the charismatic manager who took the time to chat during a busy dinner service. Check out Bascoms for a satisfying indulgent dinner read more

Really loved this place. Matt was our server and was great. We got a discount on our appetizer for checking in. My steak (bone-in) ribeye was delish. The au poivre was a little on the cream side. Shouldn't blight colored but still good. We had a little misunderstanding on our bill but Casey, the manager, took care of it. Loved the singer just wishes he'd change it up a bit. Alyssa, the bartender, was fabulous. She's in the right job and sue an amazing job. We enjoyed ourselves very much. read more

We arrived for our annual Christmas Eve dinner and there was a complication. We had requested our favorite waiter (for the last 13 years), Craig. Unfortunately, he was working upstairs for all the large banquet parties. We were offered a less than wonderful table in front of the kitchen door and the table was about 2' in diameter. When we let Craig know, the management went into action and got an unused full sized table for us to sit at and it was moved to a great location. It turned into perfect Christmas Eve dinner! We started our meal with the Crab Martini. It was excellent. For entrèes, we ordered the Prime Rib, King's Cut and the King Crab legs. The crab legs aren't on the menu for an entrèe but they do still have them available. The Prime Rib was perfectly rare and a huge portion. The crab legs were moist and also a huge portion. For dessert, we can't resist their New York Cheesecake with pecan crust. I also had a nice glass of Tawny Port to finish off the meal. It was a wonderful dining experience. If you've never been to Bascom's, you should try it for a special occasion or maybe just for a nice treat for a difficult week! read more

I've been here twice, absolutely loved everything, table service was great, food was delicious. Reason I'm giving this a 2 star is because of the management customer service. My family and I had a room reserved of 12 people, we all got somewhat different meals but 3 people got really sick after eating the steak (not sure which one). We tried calling to informed the management about the incident, but our response was plain and unprofessional, he responded with "Ok? We've never had this happen before", and it wasn't the point. We wanted to warned them but instead got brushed off with zero care. We didn't expect them to give us a discount but at least care, especially when 3 people got super sick from a pretty fancy steakhouse. read more

You don't have to dress up but don't dress completely down for this steak house. Start with the mixologist cocktail the bees knees. Progress to the French onion soup with a whisper of sherry, and then try the ahi tuna. If they have the rib eye, or prime rib go for it. End with the creme brulee, and go home happy. Complimentary valet parking, great waiters and oh yeah the oysters! Well worth the price. Treat yourself!All Natural Bone In RibeyeFrench Onion Soup read more

I wanted to love Bascom's but it's not worth the price. Bread was brought to the table and we ordered the billionaires bacon to start. The bread was warm and the butter was heavenly. The bacon was cut extremely thick so it was not crispy and it was over peppered. I had the filet with garlic mashed potatoes. My favorite part was the fried onion straws. I enjoyed my food but it was nothing special. I tried the blueberry lemon drop which was top notch and a heavy poor. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The ambiance and service is what you are paying for. read more

It was New Years Eve so not the typical evening to review. The food was very good though the appetizer portions were very small as was the soup. The prime rib was excellent. The pecan crusted grouper was excellent. The bread was excellent. The deserts were small and disappointing. The service was good all things considered. As to value, with tip and tax and three margaritas the total tab for two was $360.00. On any other night that amount would be outrageous but for New Year's Eve it's high but not outrageous. I'll go back. read more

Hidden Gem! I've always wonder how the food was driving by so called and made a reservation for Friday night. I was blown away by the food! You cannot do wrong with the filet cooked medium, Mac n cheese, and spinach! Also got the lobster and calamari for an appetizer which were okay, but the bacon was worth the $7 per slice! read more

Scott M was our server, and he was absolutely amazing! Great recommendations and was just very overall so pleasant. I ordered the special, Chilean Seabass. The presentation was not great and I don't feel like Chillian seabass should ever be presented in any liquid of any form. In addition, I had two pieces of cartilage in my lobster. I honestly almost swallowed one, which is very detrimental in my dining experience. When the manager asked how our dining experience was, I said it was great. I also mentioned the cartilage, and nothing was done or even acknowledged; that just doesn't sit great with me. I've had so many friends and coworkers praise about this restaurant, but overall I am not impressed except for our wonderful server, Scott M. read more
