About the restaurant
Bourbon & Bones is a chef-driven boutique chophouse and bar featuring an innovative menu in a high-energy atmosphere. Departing from traditional chain steakhouses, we offer classic items with our own twist. From the finest wet-aged and wagyu steaks to fresh seafood, appetizers, signature sides, and desserts, we use the best ingredients in uniquely delicious ways. Whether it's grilled octopus, Wagyu beef cooked at your table on a hot rock, or our apple crumble dessert, we stay true to our philosophy of serving delectable dishes. The menu's originality is paired with a vibrant interior that moves away from dark leather and low lights, creating a dining experience second to none.

Our waiter, Roger, was exceptional and assisted by Ethan who was there with water and follow up. The food was amazing. It was our anniversary and they gave us free dessert! I had the Ribeye bone in medium rare and it might be the best steak I have ever had. The signature, Old Fashioned cocktail with ball ice was perfect. We shared a pork belly appetizer, with pineapple that I loved! All that said, the total for 2 of us was over $400 -so at least for me, this is a splurge place only.
