Bourbon & Bones is a chef-driven boutique chophouse and bar featuring an innovative menu in a high-energy atmosphere.

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.
