About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Charming
Bull & Bourbon is a cut above other steakhouses – literally. Our innovative approach to classic steakhouse cuisine makes for a multi-sensory experience. Enjoy steaks prepared on our custom wood burning grill paired with our extensive and hand-selected bourbon menu for flavors that beautifully complement each other. Because we source local coastal California seafood, use steaks cut from our in-house butcher program, and choose select cuts from our on-site aging room, we always start with top-quality ingredients to create mouthwatering dishes. You will always know from where your food has been sourced, and our chefs approach cooking as the true art that it is.

    This restaurant far surpassed my expectations! We had such a fun night here. We got to the restaurant early and sat at the bar for drinks. Emily and Cynthia were super friendly at the bar and make amazing martinis! We had so much fun with them. Once we got seated, Tommy met all our needs, had great recommendations for dinner and sides. We had the best dessert! Order the Banana's Foster made at your table - so fun and SO yummy! After dinner we had more drinks at the bar and enjoyed live music by Darion Goodvibes - he is so talented and such a pleasure! Jared the Manager came over several times to check in. I give this place a 5 stars for sure! What a great night. Thank you!

    There was a party of about 12 men seated by us and they were very loud. It made it very hard to speak with/hear our waitress. We were offered a complimentary dessert because of the loudness, so we accepted but the dessert took about 20 minutes to arrive and we just wanted to leave!
    Bull & Bourbon SteakhouseResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for sharing your experience with us Tricia. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the loud party near your table. We understand how this affected your ability to enjoy your meal and communicate with your waitress. While we're glad you accepted the complimentary dessert, we're sorry to hear that it took longer than expected to arrive. Your feedback is important to us, and we'll use it to improve our service. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide you with a more enjoyable dining experience in the future.

    We had one of the best meals we've had in months. To start, the bread was fresh and warm. The wine we had, a malbec was smooth. The petite filter was perfectly cooked and the prime rib was perfect as well. The side of cooked carrots were phenomenal! To top it off, which really wasn't needed, was their banaras foster! Undeniably delicious! The banana nut bread they used was moist and so flavorful. The cream or ice cream! Was made tableside. We were in heaven! Throughout our dinner we were graced with wonderful live music. We loved this dinner!
