Great food, attentive service but not smothering and overall friendly environment. We will be returning.

We had Lauren as our server for our anniversary dinner. She was so amazing and attentive, and knew all about wines. I've been here three times and ended up getting some new dishes this time - the chefs pick (an Australian wagyu), truffle mac and cheese with added Maine lobster, and the creamed corn. Notably, I LOVED the wedge salad. Every bite was perfect - the lettuce was so crispy and fresh, and the ranch was to die for. The bathrooms alone are worth visiting, the mac and cheese is worth the spending, and Lauren's service is worth staying around for. Thank you Lauren for a beautiful experience, the extra bubbles for our special occasion and kind banter with the two of us. The couple next to us enjoyed the Maine lobster pot pie, which we didn't order - but we had the luxury of living vicariously through their experience. 100% going for that next time... The whole staff is amazing and we can't wait to come back. It is such a beautiful restaurant- please check out the views. Thank you bourbon steak for the great dinner, as always! read more

Rarely, very rarely, does a hotel of only 4.5 star caliber like JW Marriott become known for its food. Nashville became a clear exception to the rule, delivering a world class, contemporary steakhouse experience into Nashville's more traditional steak scene. Yes, the views are remarkable. Yes, the design of the interior is elegant. But, those criteria would never be sufficient to rank an establishment as world class... Egyptian born celebrity chef Michael Mina has unquestionably become a restaurant mogul at this stage in his career and winning two Michelin stars in his flagship San Francisco restaurant. Expanding into Nashville, he did something truly extraordinary: creating a modern steakhouse concept that delivers on par to the best traditional steak joints of America, but with unique twists and in a special atmosphere. From the incredible trio of fries with homemade sauces, to the appetizer of prawns, to the beef itself, everything is prepared at a level of perfection. Staff are professional and attentive, with a clear level of polish that one would expect to find in a high end establishment as such. Thus, whether for special event or a nice evening out, there is little doubt that Bourbon Steak is the place that will impress with quality and ability to deliver a satisfying meal. read more

What we ate: -Complimentary Duck fat fries: White cheddar + spicy ranch Garlic Parmesan + lemon truffle aioli Dill + bbq All were delicious and unique. I mixed and matched the sauces but my favorite was the spicy ranch. -Tuna rolls: okay, overpowered by pepper and greens. Unexpected tempura crunch inside each bite. -Apple salad. So good and refreshing and balanced. Tart and sweet and sour with the creamy dressing. -Brussels sprouts: tasted of sweet char and citrus. In my opinion the large strands of saffron were unnecessary and I would have gladly traded them for $10 off of our astronomical bill, haha. -Scallops: Perfect sear and perfect tenderness but a little too salty -Crab bernaise: just ok. Found a shell. A little sweet and too much rich bernaise for the portion of crab, unless pairing it with a bite of steak. -Angus filet: we enjoyed this beefy tender cut, but it wasn't anything special for the price. -Wagyu Denver cut (chef's choice of the night): probably the most tender, juicy, and flavorful bite of steak I've ever tried. And I've had A5 Wagyu countless times. For the price, this could be worth reserving for the most special of occasions. Sauce trio: -Chimichurri - so good and sour in the best way, just like a pickle. -Wine Jus - really balanced and thicker than expected. A perfect sauce for steak. Better than traditional steak sauce flavor. -Peppercorn - deep flavor development and more complex than I expected. -Crème brûlée: I don't know how we managed to eat this after indulging in all the other food, but it was utter perfection. Although the views are unparalleled and the service wonderful, the prices are just not worth it in my opinion. We also arrived promptly for our reservation and were directed to a central table within minutes. Despite ordering quickly after being seated, our steaks didn't arrive until 90 minutes after our reservation time. By that time we were ravenous so maybe that's what made those steaks so good. read more

We arrived for our reservation at 5:15 and we're seated right away. We had a beautiful view of the city and the service was top-tier. Every single dish tasted amazing. Our favorite dishes were the steaks, of course, and the broiled oysters. The old fashion was prepared in front of our table by one of the best mixologists. The complementary fries with different tasting sauces were an interesting treat. Would love to visit again when back in town. read more

Great food, sweet ambiance with panoramic view of the city. Very popular and high vibe in this trendy steak house. Bring extra cash because this is a high dollar place with extraordinary steaks and seafood. Who knows, who you might catch a glimpse of a celebrity there. We both had the Wago filet mignon and I like the apple chopped pecan salad and my husband had the massive perfectly baked potato. We ended up our meal with 3 deserts, a decadent chocolate torte, crème brûlée and a chocolate s'more that sent me over the edge. We have never eaten so many sweets in one sitting. I think I gained 5 pounds that night but we both enjoyed every minute. Michael, our server was also top end and made our dining experience perfect! read more

Everything was just phenomenal. From the service recommendations, to the food and drinks, everything surpassed expectations (and we've been there before). The lobster pot pie was a table favorite, as well as the different steaks. We look forward toto our next visit to this beautiful 34th floor gem! read more

Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina - Steakhouses Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I came here with a group of a friends for one of their birthdays. Once we got up the elevator (there was a line), we were quickly greeted. They had a birthday card ready to go. Multiple people came by throughout the night to wish our friend a happy birthday, which was great. Service was VERY attentive (but also not overdone). They were quick to fold napkins when you get up and to push in your chair when sitting down (I find the chair thing weird, but it's fancy I guess?). Our server knew the menu well and made some great recommendations. They bring you an appetizer of fries with a trio of dipping sauces (all delicious - but the fries were the part that really stood out). For apps (because we didn't know about the fries), we ordered the shrimp for the table. I also ordered the beef tartare, because I'd never tried it, and it was absolutely delicious! You wouldn't know it was raw beef from the flavor and texture. Next, I had the Orchard Apple salad. It didn't look like any salad I've ever had - kind of a stack of apples with stuff in between. This was probably my favorite dish of the night! Delicious. For the main, I had the 6 oz Wagyu filet. It was solid. We shared mashed potatoes for the table. They were too buttery for me, but some people really seemed to like them. Don't underestimate the butter: ... so ... much ... butter. We wrapped up the meal with too many desserts! The portion sizes were much bigger than we expected. They brought a little chocolate cake for our friend's birthday, and then we ordered the creme brûlée and the cheesecake. Both were really good, but I preferred the cheesecake. Finally as we were about to leave, they brought two small bags of caramel popcorn to take home. That was great as well, but more sugary than I preferred the day after this blow out of a meal. Overall, ambiance & view 5/5, food 5/5, service 5/5, prices 3/5. I'd come back, but I'd try to grab a drink somewhere else first and somewhere else after to save a bit of money. The food is great, but we spent $500 for 3 people with limited alcohol. read more

The views are the main event here. Beautiful location ... but don't underestimate the food. The meal starts with crispy fries and sauces. There are a few dishes you must try. The lobster pot pie is a work of art. I had the NY Strip which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The desserts were a perfect way to end an amazing meal. read more

Went there with my wife for our Anniversary. The food and service was fantastic! Jennifer was a great waitress! I had a ribeye steak for $85. The temperature was right-on (medium rare +). My wife had the Lobster pot pie for $115. It was amazing and deconstructed tableside. They showed up with a pot and put on a plate first by taking off the crust. It had a 2 pound lobster and many vegetables. We ordered the king crab mac n cheese and Brussel sprouts as sides. My wife and I shared a Caesar salad (they split it) with breaded anchovies and grated croutons. Very Good! I forgot to add that everyone received 3 containers of differently spiced truffle fries matched with special sauces. See my picture. Beignets for dessert came with a giant salted caramel container for dipping. YUM! Since it was our anniversary they gave us a special layered chocolate dessert. I forgot that they started us off with a glass of free champagne and a signed card from the employees welcoming us there for our anniversary. We were given a table with a city view next to the window; I reserved a table weeks in advance and requested an earlier time if one became available. They texted me during the day and were able to accommodate us. They bottles of wine were very expensive as well as bar drinks but you have to expect it. The recommended bottle of wine was $135 based on what we requested from the Wine Steward. Most were 200-300 and more. I highly recommend but book in advance. Is in the JW Marriott. read more

What an awesome experience! They sat us at the window so we could see Nashville from the 34th floor. Service was awesome, the best steak I've ever eaten! I ordered the A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye and my wife ordered the Australian Wagyu Filet. Sides were potato purer and brussel sprouts. Appetizer was the caviar Twinkie and we topped it off with the Old Fashion Infused Crème Brûlée. Definitely a great place to eat for a special occasion. read more

What an amazing experience in downtown Nashville, just a few blocks from the infamous Broadway Street. My evening began with an elevator ride up 34 stories to the top of the JW Marriott building. Here one has a 360-degree view of the sparkling city. We were seated by a window, which was a lovely plus. Instead of the usual bread basket for the tables, we were served a trio of duck fries with each container having its own unique seasoning and accompanying sauce. My favorites were the truffle fries and the BBQ sauce (note they were not paired together). I ordered the lobster pot pie for which they are quite noted. It was prepared table-side and served from a large pot with puff pastry oozing over the top. The server sliced the pastry and placed it on a large dish, ladling the contents of the pot on top. Filled with whole lobster claw meat, potatoes, spring onions, asparagus, and mushrooms in a delectable sauce reminiscent of lobster bisque. The 2-lb lobster had been quartered and then put back together so that the full lobster lay atop the served entree. It was incredibly delicious. Ended the night with some very unique beignets. Service was impeccable. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially for a key event like a birthday or anniversary. And the lagniappe: a bag of chocolate-covered popcorn to take home! read more

Outstanding food, service and views. The only negative was the surly hostess. I will excuse her, because the restaurant was packed on a Monday night. We were seated by the glass wall with killer views and it felt like we were in Manhattan. Our waitress Katerina was excellent and explained everything in detail and frequently checked in on us. Paul - the 'Whiskey specialist ' was outstanding and taught us a lot about Bourbon and American Whiskey. The food was outstanding. The tuna appetizer and the complimentary fries with 3 sauces were very good. My daily special Wagyu fried rice was to die for and my partner loved her sea bass. I was given a birthday card, free dessert and cara.el popcorn to take home. I just loved this place and would highly recommend it read more

Steaks--5 !!! Food-9 Service-10 Ambience 9 Everything was exceptional, except for the steaks . Specials were Austrian Wagyu or Black Angus, New York strip 12 oz . I love great thick NY strip, what i got was 1/2" tall!!! 3" wide 8" long & over cooked, disappointing NY steak. Wife's filet was also over cooked, neither were medium rare !!! Maybe chief had bad a night but thin cur NY strip is unacceptable. Very Disappointing if you love great steaks! read more

We made reservation weeks ahead to ensure our dinner spot at this fancy popular restaurant. It's on the 34th floor of JW Marriott, with gorgeous 360 view of Nashville downtown. We arrived exactly on time and were taken to our table right away. The whole dining area looked modern, with a glass wine all on one side. I was so impressed they had a handwritten card on the table for our daughter's birthday. Our dinner started with a complementary set of fries. They put in 3 different types of fries with 3 different sauce. It was a nice bite size dish as we waited on our appetizers and entrees. We got the kid's butte pasta that tasted amazing, and also came with a giant fruit plate. We got the crab cake that was such a beautiful looking dish. The Twinkie caviar was a fun dish that actually came with a creamy Twinkie. For entree we got the signature Maine Lobster Pot Pie, a dish that they constructed right next to our table by cutting the crust of the pie and dumping the lobster and vegetables on top of it. It had huge chunks of a full lobster. The cream was delicious. We also got snake river rib, a perfectly cooked 8oz steak and side of seared scallops that soft like marshmallow. We finished our dinner the famous smoked campfire s'more. They also brought us an extra slide of cake with a candle to wish our daughter happy birthday. Overall we had a top notch dinner experience. Our server Brett was such a pro. All the staff members on the floor were so activate, all sharing the responsibilities of bringing out dishes, taking out empty plates, bringing drinks, anything they could do to ensure all guests were having a great time. It was our best dining experience during our Nashville trip. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an upscale luxurious dinner experience. read more

Excellent food and service at Bourbon Steak. We were here to celebrate a birthday. The dining area is spacious. Lots of sunlight comes in. We get to see views of the city. The food is impeccable. The plating is appealing. Flavors are all definitely there. Absolutely love the lobster biscuit dish (video) and the scallops. Even the pasta from kids menu is delicious. They gave everybody complimentary fries with three different dippings. They are unique tastings. Only 1 Elevator can access this restaurant. You might need to wait sometime, but it's worth it. Highly recommend for date nights or special events. read more

Sitting atop the JW in downtown Nashville, Bourbon Steak offers up city views with a side of delicious upscale eats and crafted cocktails! Being local to Nashville, we do not do too many hotel based restaurants, but on a recent outing, decided to treat ourselves to Bourbon Steak after a day of meetings. It was the perfect place to end a stressful day! The space is gorgeous, wide open with upscale decor, but slight retro vibes with all the curves through out. It is a wide open space with panoramic views of Nashville. While most tables have some sort of view, the bar area has a dedicated space for those who want all the views! To start our experience, we ordered a few cocktails and the Get Off My Lawn, a Gin based cocktail rooted in celery caught my eye. It was odd, but interesting and ultimately tasty! While we loaded up on appetizers, salads, mains, desserts and cocktails, one thing that I loved was the flight of fries and dipping sauces that they bring out as a complimentary starter for the table. Bread? Old news...gimme a flight of fries from now on! In addition to the fries, we went with the Wagyu Steak Tartare, a Wedge and Orchard Apple salad to share. From there we all went in different directions with our mains. I got the Miso Glazed Sea Bass, while my tablemates went with steak and chicken dishes. We paired our dishes with mac and cheese, potato puree, Brussels and broccolini. Everything was divine and cooked to perfection! To round our meal out, we all shared the Bananas Tart Tatin, a delightful and delicious way to end our meal! As you can imagine, service was impeccable from entry to exit. As we were wrapping up, they dropped off a couple of bags of house packaged popcorn, which added an extra delight on an already wonderful meal! Overall, Bourbon Steak is worth it. Whether you are staying at the JW, nearby or are a local, give it a shot! read more

This was a fabulous dinner! I went for a birthday celebration and they included a signed card and a free dessert. The staff was attentive and thoughtful when I mentioned some food allergies. The orchard salad, baked potato, and crab cake were delicious!! My husband loved his steak as well. The cocktails were different and fun and of course the views couldn't be beat! While I have a fear of heights, it was totally worth coming up to the 34th floor for such a nice dinner! read more

A really well done steakhouse! There's a lot of competition in Nashville but this one stands out to me for its views, great drinks and food. Very fun that they have a fries starter where you get to sample a few different unique dips. This was particularly fun in the winter time since it's pretty cozy. read more

Outdated, terrible service, average food, I don't get the hype. Had to wait an additional 15 mins to be seated, another 15 to even receive menus and be approached by our server, 2 hours later still haven't received entrees and the food was sub par. All in all a terrible experience, a ruined evening and ended up getting the food to go because it was so late. Absolutely not worth the price, Nashville has MUCH better options available read more

We traveled from Los Angeles to Nashville for my wife's birthday, and Bourbon Steakhouse made the trip 100% worthwhile. Located on the 34th floor of the JW Marriott, the city views are breathtaking and set the tone for an elevated dining experience. From the start, Nick (the manager) was fabulous -- professional, welcoming, and made sure everything ran perfectly for a special occasion. Our server Zavyon was outstanding: attentive without hovering, and gave excellent menu suggestions that were absolutely on point. Now the food... WOW. The Delmonico ribeye was cooked perfectly and bursting with natural flavor. The pan-seared sea bass was hands down the best I've ever had. The creamed spinach was superb -- rich and flavorful, easily one of the best sides we ordered. And the star of the night was the fat-washed wagyu smoked Old Fashioned -- the presentation was one of a kind, and it tasted just as impressive as it looked. Between the views, service, food, and overall experience, Bourbon Steak is the definition of top-tier fine dining. If you're celebrating a special occasion, this is the spot. read more

Great first visit to Bourbon Steak. Was very surprised by how busy it was for a 5pm reservation (line outside the elevator to get up)! Recommend getting there 10-15 minutes prior to your res just to have plenty of time to enjoy the atmosphere, perhaps walk around to see the bar/skyline. Loved the duck fat fries (which I learned are complimentary, so don't over order on any appetizers) and the various sauces. The portion sizes for sides are plenty of share too! Several great menu items to choose from and extensive wine pairings as well. Would likely visit again on another trip and/or special occasion in Nashville. read more

Perfect restaurant for our anniversary dinner! We were visiting from Seattle and wanted a nice steakhouse dinner to celebrate. This was the first time I've felt a restaurant was made just for me. The service was fantastic. Everything we ordered was fantastic. The views were awesome. Hands down the best restaurant steak I've had. Perfectly cooked Australian wagyu ribeye! Starters, sides, wine and desserts were on point. The price also perfectly matched the experience. read more

Wonderful food with roof top views of the city! Contemporary decor and top of the line service!

Yes, you may have to create a reservation for a year from now. Yes, it will be worth it. Tonight, I had the absolute privilege to be served by Michael. From the lobby to the table, the service was fantastic. He did a wonderful job assisting our family by answering questions, and providing recommendations. I found a challenge, a mocha latte and Michael delivered. This was followed by an insane course that I would accept as my last meal. A true thank you to everyone at Bourbon Steak. read more

We were in town and met up with some friends for dinner at Bourbon Steak. We'd been to a Bourbon Steak in DC, so were familiar with the menu and what to expect. We had the fries, everyone ordered drinks and food and all of that was good. What was NOT good was the ambiance. It was DEAFENINGLY loud. I could not hear my friend sitting next to me. The entire night. We couldnt hear the server and he could barely hear us, and I am a singer who knows how to project my voice. It was a terrible way to spend time with friends. And expensive, which is fine if the food and vibe is good. Vibe was awful. Just thinking of this night gives me a huge headache. Next time I'm in Nashville I won't be choosing this place to have a nice night. read more

This was probably one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had since moving here. Let me start by saying there was a conference in the hotel. I am guessing that is why the restaurant was packed wall to wall on a Wednesday night and literally almost everything was subpar. Seated 25 minutes after the reservation time. The hostess in all black with the glasses was giving her best nice-nasty responses to everyone inquiring about their late seating. She needs some work on keeping her composure under pressure. Server Jenny was pretty good. The little fry appetizer thing they provided was cold so I didn't really eat it. The salmon ceviche amuse-bouche was cute. I asked for bread, that was probably the best thing I had all night? The whipped potatoes & smores dessert (that I thought would be complimentary for the birthday, but wasn't) were fine. The grilled half lobster? Wasn't a half (lobster meat wise) and was lukewarm at best. No drawn butter? Steak (8oz filet) was under and also lukewarm. The lobster meat is only at the top of the shell. Why bring it out like this? This was a quarter lobster, not half. In general, this entree presentation lacked finesse and looked thrown together. Left a lot to be desired. Absolutely NO seasoning on the steak. The waitress sent over brussels complimentary for the long wait, but they were too charred. Manager came to table and asked how everything was. I relayed my feedback about the hostess, but not the food because at that point leaving was the priority. Didn't want to wait for re-makes etc. Most of the food was barely touched (except dessert), as signaled by the gigantic to go bag. This was a birthday dinner and it just was not up to standard. Definitely not a Mastros or Steak 44 level experience. Not my vibe with the chaotic atmosphere and subpar food. The reviews had me fooled. May have been an off night, but I won't be back to find out. Definitely did not warrant the hefty check (with no alcohol involved). read more

Delightful evening. Great service. Wonderful views, though do make a reservation early enough to request a window view, which we didn't get. So instead of bread service you get 3 amazing varieties of beef tallow fries (probably very unhealthy but delicious. This was all the rage in the Netherlands, but I still haven't actually looked it up...why ruin a good thing?) with 3 good sauces. A BBQ, a lemon aioli, and a really good ranch based). The apple salad was a bit weird...no actual lettuce. The Brussel sprouts were totally addicting. The crème brûlée was noteworthy. I split a big 22 Oz rib eye with my husband and I took just 3 pieces, but mine were tough and gristly. When I asked later, he said his were great. I guess I was just unlucky. But I still walked out with a happy overly full tummy. read more

Perched on top of the world with large panoramic views and custom cutlery sits Bourbon Steakhouse. Now I rated it 5 stars but as far as steakhouses go, this may not be what you are typically expecting when you come to a prestigious penthouse steak joint. First off the fries... they start you with some complimentary fries. With three different seasonings and three different dips. Allowing you to mix and match flavors and condiments. I actually found this kind of fun. Fun isn't exactly what I was expecting but the more you travel the more you find out. Music City has plenty of charm and this must be a concept popularized out here. Next came our appetizer we went with the crab cake. I love a little seared crust but here they must really really love it. This crust penetrated deep into the piled meat. It had a lot more crunch than most crab samplings I've tried. The Steak we ordered was the prime rib. It was split into 2 as me and my lady like to share. The sides recommended were the rice and veggies. I have to say the rice was very spicy. I'm no slouch and can handle a little heat but this dish was fire incarnate. Next time I'm definitely going basic with mashed potatoes. The dessert was phenomenal, I love the top of a good crème brûlée but they've found a way to expand it. Longer serpentine dish, why not? Very much recommended this. The bill was definitely the kind you'd use to impress someone you just recently started dating, otherwise a frugal wife may just think what she'd normally think about you burning cash. It's not too unreasonable I just would've like my Iced tea filled up a few more times at that rate. read more

Service: EXCEPTIONAL! I have to give a huge shout out to John & Anthony at the bar! I had John the first night and he was so helpful navigating the menu. I was there celebrating and John truly made me feel special and celebrated with me! I came back the next night and had Anthony; he was attentive and caring and brought over Paul, the whiskey sommelier. Food: Tuna Tartare- MUST GET!! The flavor of the tuna was refreshing. The addition of chili powder and sesame oil gave it great flavor and a wonderful mouth feel. Steak Tartare- Wonderful Addition. The brininess of the capers and gherkins brought brightness to the dish. 8oz Rib Cap- perfectly seasoned! It is known as the Chef's cut for a reason! The fattiness of the cut needs an acid to cut the fat. Pork Belly Fried Rice- Charred. The rice was slightly crunchy as if it was slightly undercooked or it could be from the charred bits. Creamed Spinach- MUST GET! The creaminess and saltiness of the dish made me go back for more! Banana Tart Tatin- best dessert of the night. It was a bananas foster with a crunchy puff pastry! Creme Brulee- standard. It had a different presentation but the dessert was the standard classic. Crispy Beignet- MUST GET. If I had a choice between the beignet and the brulee, I would choose the beignet. The cream/caramel that comes with the beignet to dip into is creamy and delectable! The beignets are pillowy soft! Marshmallow Ice Cream (from the s'mores dessert)-different. The taste of the burnt marshmallow was a wonderful capture of smores On to my next adventure... read more

The high points were their Wagyu Tartare, the service (once we finally got seated), and Larry's bourbon cart. The downsides were the noise (topping 100 dB) and crowding. We needed to wait well after our reservation start time, and there was no place for us, or the other people in a similar situation, to sit. We would return for the food and drinks were it not for the noise and crowds. For that, we can go to Broadway. read more

Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina - The view from our seating. - Steakhouses Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The filet was phenomenal! Both of us got a filet and it may have been the best we have ever tasted.The downside to the whole experience- and it's the only downside- was it was really loud. Both my husband and I said how loud it was as soon as we walked in and it stayed that way throughout our meal- and we arrived at 9 pm on a Thursday night. We love how they offered to split the wedge salad and the potato. We really appreciated that as neither one of us would have been able to eat the whole potato and we didn't know the portion sizes since it was our first time. Also the nice little extras- the fries as an appetizer and the bag of popcorn as a little bonus at the end made this place 10 out of 10! We would love to return. (Also I only made a reservation approximately a week in advance.) read more

Second time here. Prices have gone way up since my first visit. About 150$ per person avg. before tipping. This data point might seem small, but it's what caught my attention. Ordered a (middle shelf) bourbon neat. Look at the bill. 15$ for the drink. Plus 2$ for neat. Huh?!? How does giving it to me straight induce more cost? So confused. Our cocktails also had weird pricing breakdowns attached. Pre game and drink water would be my advice, unless you're bougie like me and just can't avoid a good pairing. Lovely place. Food is great. It stays packed somehow. I would recommend this place for special occasions only. If you bring a small group, prepare to spend a whole month's grocery bill. Big ballers only. read more

We came here for my birthday dinner as we had heard lots of good things. It did not disappoint the service was great the moment we walked in were greeted and sat right away. They start with some duck fat fries that are crispy and three sauces. We also got a crab cake which is a meal of its own. It's a big portion with just enough sauce and not too much mayonnaise or other fillers as other crab cakes tend to have. I got the filet mignon and the wagyu filet also. I loved both but the fat in the wagyu is amazing. They cooked and seasoned perfectly. The broccolini was cooked perfect with the crispy garlic I could eat this every day. The fried rice with the pork belly was very good. As far as a side with the steaks it did not pair well for me. Alone it's delicious and maybe with seafood but with my steak the flavors did not mash well. I would get it on its own as a meal. They were sweet and brought out a complimentary cake slice for my bday which was very good and I am not a chocolate fan but I loved it! The service and view were above and beyond. It wasn't as busy when we got there but slowly started to get busy but it was not very loud. I would come back and try some of the seafood as that also looked very good. read more

Bourbon steak is the place to take out of town visitors and for special events. The setting is wonderful with views of downtown and the Gulch plus the overall vibe is one of class and elegance. The service matches the setting--they do their best to make you feel special. Since this dinner was our first visit, We tried many items--and most were home runs. The shrimp cocktail with horseradish crust was excellent, perhaps the best we ever have had. The oysters are also a must. Seafood defines Mina's San Fran place, and I forgot how good his cold dishes could be. The salads, Caesar and Apple Orchard, were fresh and the greens took center stage, not the dressing. Home runs all around. The sides were excellent--baked potato cooked completely although the squeeze bottle of cheese sauce was odd; creamed spinach was so rich, and the Brussels nicely charred. Home run. Cocktails and wine were ample--perhaps my next trip is directly to the bar. Another home run. The letdown was the beef. Fine but not great. A double, not a home run. Great cut of meat but prepared so that there was not much flavor. Having lived in the west, we have our favorite steak places and Bourbon steak just would not rank that highly. The filet was better than the NY strip; I will leave it at that. Overall--a great place for special events. Visitors will be wowed, and Have a good time too. read more
