    Oysters were fresh and delicious!
    Ann Y.

    SERVERS NEED BETTER TRAINING We came for dinner Friday night 8pm and there was no wait which was great for us since we had our kids but we realized during dinner WHY the place was so empty...the top-notch service has fallen off and it's clear to me this is why people are not coming back. The food was still solid just as I had remembered - but it took way too long. We ordered at 8:40 and asked them to bring everything out as soon as they can. Why did the steak come out at 9:20?! Btw the Ribeye steak for $125 was very thin. Is this the new way to save money?? Disappointed. French onion soup was too sweet. It's not the deep savory broth that I'm used to and I've had it many times. We didn't finish it- skip this. Oysters (small), Caesar salad (drenched in dressing), creamed corn (perfect), creamed spinach were all mid. The ribeye steak was tasty but so thin my husband was still hungry. Comparing the same steak from a few years ago and you can see in my photo how big it used to be. They have a kids menu here that offers several entrees for $10-29 but it doesn't come with a drink or sides. We ordered the Mac n cheese and it was very good and a large portion for $10. Our biggest complaint of the night was the server. He was nice but not very attentive as we had to ask for water refills, he took a long time to bring our drinks, we had to ask for a steak knife (when our steak came) these are all things Bourbon never had an issue with before. My husband asked him which reds he should try by the glass and the guy said (forgot the name)... my husband enjoyed it and ordered 2. When the bill came we were floored to see $118 for the two glasses! I've read the other low star reviews and many have the same complaint that they felt deceived by the server not being transparent about the costs. I hope management reads this and sees this as something that needs to be addressed with their staff. $480 spent on a disappointing dinner really sucks especially in this economy. I just had a soup and salad (no drinks for me) and I can't believe our bill was that high. Please do better Michael we miss the old Bourbon.

    We sat at the bar and Jeffery was amazing! We went for happy hour and all the food was amazing. We got a teeny martini, burger, duck fat fries, and ceviche. Really enjoyed the service and the food.

    Took advantage of their happy hours. Service was wonderful as always. Love the live music they had. Food was delicious, we did have some issues with the chicken liver mousse, but the chef came out and fixed it right away. Once again great experience!

    We came for date night and had an amazing time! The restaurant has that classy moody vibe with a live DJ. We had reservations at 7 PM on a Saturday night and it wasn't too busy, but we got there 30 minutes early so we sat at the bar while we waited and enjoyed a cocktail. The bartenders were super welcoming and nice and the bar had a beautiful display of various liquors. I will say that the cocktail menu is very small and limited, but they expressed they could basically make anything. I had an espresso martini that was made to perfection with the perfect amount of foam on top. When we were seated at our table, the hostess gracefully placed our dining napkins on our laps. Instead of serving bread and butter, they serve three different types of french fries with their designated, specially curated, dipping sauces. For our appetizers, we chose the steak tartare (served with potato chips. It was good, but I felt like it needed a little more oomph, and I wish it had a raw quail egg on top to help make it creamy), duck spring rolls, Caesar salad (we had it with anchovies and it was well balanced), jumbo shrimp cocktail (they were seriously so massive and perfectly cooked), and of course, a dozen oysters (the chef's choice of the day was from the East Coast and they were perfectly cleaned and nicely sweet). For dinner, we had the 8 ounce Black Angus filet mignon, the roasted half Mary's chicken and two side orders of grilled half main lobster. The fillet was cooked perfectly to a medium, rare and iron crusted on the outside. The chicken was both tender and flavorful. And the lobster was grilled perfectly and drizzled with truffle butter *chef's kiss*. For our sides, we chose the lobster mac & cheese, creamed spinach, mashed potato purée (just deliciously whipped and creamy), and crispy brussels sprouts. For dessert, we chose the Ube basque cheesecake, and the Creamsicle shaved ice. Our first choice was the shaved ice, but our waiter suggested the cheesecake and we were so happy that we ordered it. It was both light and decadent at the same time, not too sweet and had a slight tartness from the huckleberry compote. From our cocktails that kept flowing all night, to the amazing food, and especially to our amazing waiter, Mike, we had such a beautiful date night! I highly recommend you choose Bourbon Steak for your next date night, and then enjoy an after dinner stroll at the Americana.

    I went here for a dinner program so we had a set menu but it was really good. We had Caesar salad which was creamy. I had the chicken and it came in a salad that was so good I could drink it. The sides were delicious too. The cream of spinach was perfect, not too creamy. The truffle Mac & cheese was super flavorful. The service was as great. The only thing is that parking is not easy.

    Another fantastic meal at Bourbon Steak. Nick was our waiter and truly went above and beyond friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience exceptional. Nick's attention to our dining experience amplified how amazing dinner was. The food was amazing as always and never disappoints. Consistently great service and outstanding dishes keep us coming back. Highly recommend!

    One of my favorite restaurants in the LA area, the food is consistently excellent, the fries are unmatched, and the ambiance is classy yet relaxed. I really wanted to give 5 stars, but unfortunately this was probably the worst service I've ever received here. We had a Saturday night reservation but decided to sit at the bar instead since it was pretty dead. Restaurant for a Saturday was surprisingly slow. DJ was great setting a smooth vibe. However, the two male servers seemed like they absolutely dreaded being there. One was bartending and clearly busy, but the other, acting as the server was very low energy, forgetful, and extremely slow with everything: bringing drinks, taking our order, checking in, and even dropping the check. The highlight, as always, was the food. The oysters and fish were incredibly fresh. The octopus was overcooked this time, which is unusual for them, so I'll give that a pass since it's normally great. What really stood out (in a bad way) was hearing the servers openly bad mouthing their manager after she came over to speak with them. It just created an uncomfortable atmosphere and took away from what should have been a great dining experience. This is an amazing restaurant with fantastic food, but service like this makes you reconsider where you want to spend your money for a full experience.

    Swung by for their daily happy hour and loved it! We ordered an assortment of dishes but my favorites were the chicken liver mousse toast & Philly cheesesteak sandwich with waygu beef. The only thing that could make it better is if the Philly cheesesteak took was served with some hot & fresh shoestring fries. Great service & ambience overall. Will be back soon to try more on the happy hour menu!

    Unfortunately, I have to update my review from 2021 because the service at Bourbon Steak has gone completely downhill from when we first started coming here in 2018. This used to be one of our favorite restaurants for celebrating major life moments, from our engagement to buying a home, so we chose it for our last date night before welcoming our baby. Sadly, the experience felt cold from the moment we arrived. The hostess was unwelcoming when checking us in and told us seating "doesn't start until 5" even though it was 4:57 PM. On the way out, there was no acknowledgment or goodbye either. Overall, the service throughout the night felt very impersonal. Our server was pleasant, but not very attentive, and a few items we ordered were missed entirely and later removed from the bill. The food was still good, but when you're paying fine dining prices, you expect a fine dining experience to match. It honestly breaks my heart because this restaurant used to feel so warm and special to us, but unfortunately it no longer feels that way. Sadly, we probably won't be returning.

    If we could afford to eat here on a regular basis, we would. We have literally never had anything here that we did not like, and obviously, they are known for their steak. Absolutely delicious, and always great service. Very high end, romantic atmosphere.

    Prime rib Philly cheesesteak
    Olive J.

    Our dinner started off on a sour note thanks to the hostess, who had a pretty bad attitude. Definitely not the warm welcome we were hoping for. But things turned around once we were seated. Our server was fantastic. Super attentive, friendly, and just made the whole experience better. He was awesome, and I genuinely liked him. The prime rib Philly cheesesteak was packed with flavor very rich, savory, and very filling. But the real star of the night was their waygu burger. Hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had. Juicy, perfectly cooked, and just phenomenal. I'll be going back just for that burger. It was that good. Also, absolutely delicious duck fat fries crispy, golden, and addictive. The space itself is nice, elegant without being stuffy. It's upscale but still feels comfortable and inviting. Polished vibe that is enjoyable. Happy hour here is great, and parking's really easy since it's at the Americana. All in all, despite the rocky start, I really like this place. Can't wait to come back.

    Our second time here and we came for happy hour this time! My bf and I ordered: - Bourbon Burger (4.5/5): Little bit greasy but such a juicy and delicious burger that is well worth the happy hour price. Comes with the dill pickle fries that are delicious. Got the burger done medium rare and it came out perfectly cooked and not too pink. - Prime rib cheesesteak (4/5): Flavorful but the bread to meat ratio felt a little off. Difficult to eat because of how cheesy and saucy the dish was. Perfectly balanced with the inclusion of the mustard and slaw on the side. Thought it was a really good twist on a classic cheesesteak. - Tempura Maitake Mushroom (3.5/5): Loved the creativity here and how meaty the mushrooms tasted but something felt lacking? It felt like it needed to be paired with something else - either another dish (so as a side) or another flavor element or texture. Overall (4/5): Note that happy hour is actually from 4-6PM daily, not 5-6PM. We got there a little before 5 on a Saturday and it was pretty quiet but quickly began to fill up. Wish their trio of duck fat fries on the menu or we should've asked before ordering because we miss those!! Service was friendly. Happy hour prices make this an excellent place to stop by and check out.

    Proof of calling

    I don't usually write reviews without actually eating at a place, but this experience says everything I need to know about how they treat potential customers. I called three separate times because I had a simple question about their tomahawk steak before making a reservation. Every single call was either dropped or disconnected. Not once did anyone bother to call me back, even though it was obvious the conversation had been interrupted. If this is the level of customer service they provide to someone who's trying to spend money there, I can only imagine what happens after you're already seated. It honestly gives the impression that they don't need new customers--or simply don't care about them. In an industry where service starts the moment the phone rings, this is a terrible first impression. Needless to say, I'll be taking my business somewhere that actually values its customers.

    Not on Sundays . They previously offered a happy hour menu Mon-Fr from 4-6 pm at their bar and or lounge.… 

    In my next trip to LA, I am dining solo. Is it necessary to make reservation for one guest?

    I highly recommend a reservation, but you may be able to get a bar area seating,

    We enjoyed a couple of great burgers and wonderful cocktails with duck fries! Not as extravagant as the dinner menu but still very good!

Overall, both the food and the service were extremely disappointing. Waiting that long just to get someone's attention, receive our food, and eventually pay the bill is unacceptable. Definitely not an experience we'll be repeating.

Since it had an overall good rating, I booked it right away. Afterwards, I almost had buyer's regret because there had been an influx of recent negative reviews (at least it seemed that way). I couldn't back out since my credit card was going to be charged as they require a 48 hour advance notice (longer than the usual 24 hrs -- which I thought was peculiar). At this point, I was committed to make the best of the experience. We arrived and noticed how beautiful it appeared outside. Walking in, we were greeted and sat right away by the host. I noticed that at 6:30pm, the restaurant had a few patrons, but it seemed a bit empty. Nevertheless, the staff was attentive (which was a plus). We ordered: 1) Grilled Skill Island Tiger Prawns ($23) - This was delicious and prepared well! I wish there was just one more prawn to justify the price. Otherwise, I enjoyed the grill flavor and the lebneh that it came with. 2) Pan Roasted Spanish Octopus ($24) - This was also enjoyable and we felt there was more value because of the size of the octopus. This was also beautifully presented, but it was also delish. 3) The Garden of Life Little Gem Salad ($14) - This salad was so so and while it looked beautiful, it was a very simple salad. Not sure I would order it again. 4) Grilled Australian Lamb Chops ($38) - This was enjoyable though I wish there was more on this dish to enjoy. This was quite literally just chops and you would need to order accompaniments. It wasn't gamey, so I appreciated that. 5) Black Angus Flat Iron Steak ($42) - This was good but not great and came with some roasted potatoes. For the price I was hoping for more meat or a side of vegetables. 6) Brooklyn Kura Yuzu Spritz ($12) - This was refreshing and just what you would expect. I enjoyed it. 7) Basque Cheesecake - This was light and enjoyable! Great way to finsh the meal Overall, I enjoyed the flavors of the dishes we ordered and the staff was attentive. Keep in mind that the portions are small so when I reflect back on the experience against the price, not sure the value is there. Moral of the story: Don't come hungry.
