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 went to celebrate our twins 25th birthday! We had a large party- upon arrival they were extremely welcoming and accommodating to our group! Our waiter was extremely attentive as well as the rest of the staff! We had a great time celebrating! The food was delicious and the drinks were as well.

    This is the fifth time we dined here. The food is very good, especially the Lobster with Fettucine. the service is very good, Hector was our waiter, and very solicitous to our needs. Since our last visit, however, The prices have skyrocketed. Most steak entrees are over $100, and the entree includes only a small salad or soup. I realize prices and costs are up nationwide, but some of these prices are exhorbitant, that being said, it's still a great place to eat .

    Our second time coming here and it was even better than the first. Service is really great and I believe our server was Daniel and he was fantastic. Great great service and the Wednesday special is such a great value. We will definitely be returning.

    We had a very nice dinner, I had a cup of baked potato soup and my wife had a side salad. My wife had the 8 oz filet and I had the 18 oz ribeye, both were very good. We shared a twice baked potato for a side dish which was great and plenty big enough for us to share.

    The Bull and Bourbon provided a wonderful Valentine's Day experience. The Chateaubriand special for two was "to die for". If opportunity presents itself and this appears on the menu, I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone.

    Great meal from start to finish, Isaiah our server was spot on with recommendations and pairings, hostess was prompt, drinks were great and the steak was cooked to perfection. We’ll be back - so much so that as we left we made follow on reservations! The place was just a little noisy only because there was live music going on and it did not distract from the atmosphere.

We will certainly pass along your thanks and regards to Isaiah – he will be delighted to hear your kind words.

We look forward to welcoming you back soon, and we are delighted that you made follow-on reservations as you left. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing to dine with us.

    We frequent Bull and Bourbon regularly. Our server was not B&B trained and normally works at Suerte, which is a much different ambiance. We will be there again very soon and be sure to request a booth in Daniel’s section. Otherwise, the food was excellent as always.

    Thank you, Matthew! We will share your feedback with Perla and Daniel's management team for recognition! We look forward to another delicious meal at Bull & Bourbon Steakhouse.
