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.

    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!

    The prime rib deal that I’ve had in the past is a great value, but today’s meat was chewy and inedible. Three dollars extra for horseradish cream.Service was great but food quality was subpar.
    Bull & Bourbon SteakhouseResponded on April 22, 2025
    Liz - Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the disappointing prime rib you received this time. We understand that chewy and inedible meat is unacceptable, especially when you’ve enjoyed it in the past. We also regret the additional charge for horseradish cream. We appreciate your kind words about our service and will address the food quality issues to ensure a better experience in the future. We hope you will give us another chance at Bull & Bourbon Steakhouse.

    Our server was really cute and sweet. Our water cups were never empty. Great music/ entertainment. Yummy cocktails. We got the surf and turf. The filet was perfectly cooked medium rare. The lobster tail was ok. Some parts seems over cooked and rubbery. Overall we had a nice experience.
