    If in addition to fantastic cuisine you want 200 different bourbons on the menu, there's only one place to go: Bourbons Bistro. In the dining room you'll be greeted by white table cloths and candles, but without even a hint of pretentiousness. Service is attentive and knowledgeable, but not overbearing. The shrimp & grits is decadent; the pork chop is perfect. And did I mention the bourbon?

    I attended the Horse Soldier Bourbon event. The food, service, and programming were wonderful. No dessert and still most attendees took home food. Smaller portions of the same menu would work. Delicious!

    Thank you for the detailed amazing review. I hope we see you at our future dinners.

    Great food and solid number of bourbon choices. We sat outside and the air conditioner was loud enough to take away from the experience. Everything else was great.
