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.

    Our order was taken, 15 minutes go by then we are informed that two items we ordered have run out. We select two replacement items. Now our order is at the start of the cue. We one hour no food, talk with waiter, food finally comes. We are now at the 1 1/2 hour mark from the time we entered.

    We actually ate there on a Thursday night and a Saturday night (2 nights later) the food was better on Thursday vs Saturday.

    Food is spot on! I usually have to fly out to my favorite steak place. Luckily this one is local to me. Best steak house in So Cal by far. But food is the best. Wagyu steaks and the best of the best for me. Going back tonight again. Phenomenal. Skip the regular ribeye and get the higher up one Del Monaco.
    Bull & Bourbon SteakhouseResponded on July 3, 2025
    Thank you so much for the incredible review Royce! We're thrilled to hear that our steaks—especially the Delmonico—hit the mark for you.
