Cocktails were delicious and very pretty. Our food was yummy -- lamb pasta, lamb sliders, pork cheeks, and burger. The fries with the pork cheeks and burger were overly salty, too much salt so we couldn't eat them. We sat in a booth, which helped to manage the overall ambient noise. It appeared that it could get very noisy. Service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive, informed, and a very nice guy. Not our first time at this restaurant and we will return.

The seats in the booths along the back are unpadded nor have cushions so found them very hard/uncomfortable. Otherwise a spectacular experience.

The ambience, service and overall vibe of Bottle & Bull is outstanding! I personally think my dish (Mushroom pasta) was amazing, it was just my partners dish that he mentioned was less than what he expected it to be (Crab Risotto). The drink menu is long, with many choices for all different preferences. I would definitely come back!

We had a reservation and when arrived on time were promptly seated and had our drinks in less than 5 minutes after order. The food was fabulous too! Only thing is that the stuffed figs at $2.75 each were TINY - wouldn’t recommend that for the price. They were good though.

Not as good as our first visit. We were seated first before a larger but waited on second. The restaurant must have been short staffed because drinks took a while and food didn’t arrive until 45 minutes later. Food was tasty but not really worth the wait.

Very attentive and friendly server. Drinks were a bit slow but only one bartender and pretty busy. Bourbon selection was outstanding and reasonably priced. Food was very good - fries were plentiful and really tasty. My pork sandwich Cubano was really moist and tasty. My wife had beet salad which was very good and meatballs which were spicy and tad dry. Friends said lamb sliders and burger were very good. Will come back

The food was very non-conventional and that was amazing! It was sooo good and just completely different from everything. We really enjoyed it. Our server was great. The place is great, though it was a bit loud, it was still fabulous. Only complaint was that it was so dark we had to pull out our phones to read the menu - a small table light that clicks on and off would be good. If you want amazing food & drinks, this is the spot!

Service was great and nice ambiance. Parking is a challenge but there is free parking underneath the library which is a few blocks away. Smoked beet salad was good but mushroom pasta was very salty and cuban sandwiches were mushy. We ordered fries without truffle seasoning but they still tasted like truffles. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Great date night - dinner was excellent; we shared several small plates (oysters with Bergamot & Hibiscus granite were great summer fare, as was the Burrata & stone fruit salad) and one entree (Cuban chicken & rice). Our server was great - she was friendly, let us take our time, and easily answered our questions about different dishes. We always enjoy dining at Bottle & Bull!

Bottle & Bull has a great list of cocktails with an extensive (huge) whiskey list. The theme seems to be somehow related to Hemingway with but I am not sure why. There are a couple of Hemingway prints on the wall as well as several Hemingway novels on a book shelf in addition to an old typewriter. One of the cocktails is named Pilar which is an obvious ode to the fishing boat Hemingway owned in Cuba. The food is pretty delicious as well. Will certainly go here again.
