    Fantastic food and great service. The only issue we had was with the smoked old fashioned drinks we ordered. The bartender smoked an empty glass then tried to hold that over the old fashioned, which is not at all how you’re supposed to do that. The menu also indicated luxardo cherry and muddled orange, which it had neither. Not sure how they won a bourbon bar award when they don’t know how o make an old fashioned. Otherwise, the food and service were great.

    Excellent food and service. Restaurant is a bit loud and could benefit from a few strategically placed mobile screens to reduce noise without altering the vibe. Overall, outstanding date night location. Will be back!

    We had a wonderful experience at Bourbon’s last night, one of our go to places for a great meal. Everything from the cocktails, to the apps, dinner and desert were all excellent! Our server was also fantastic, just wish I could remember her name! Highly recommend this gem of a place that I hope will be around for many years to come!
